Protection of hospitals Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict. https://www.reuters.com/pictures/israeli-troops-exit-gazas-shifa-hospital-leaving-rubble-bodies-2024-04-01/

It does not take a rocket scientist to understand that if one nations limits the water supply to a community, to the point where they are technically lacking in basic water needs, does that not create animosity? About 90 percent of Gaza's water supply comes from the Coastal Aquifer Basin, which runs along the eastern Mediterranean coast from Egypt through Gaza and into Israel. However, the water is brackish and contaminated due to seawater intrusion, overextraction, and sewage and chemical infiltration. Have you considered the possibility that this ban was to protect their people from pollution and major health issues?

Hamas launched a horrific attack on Oct 7, 2023, killing 1,139 people. Israel has responded and so far the death count is 34,600.

Just about everyone has an opinion on this horrific conflict. But how many know the reasons why? Yes, the Hamas attack on Oct 7 should be forever condemned. But why? In Oct 21, 2021 ... NEW YORK, 21 August 2021 - “Unless urgent action is taken, more than four million people across Lebanon – predominantly vulnerable children and families – face the prospect of critical water shortages or being completely cut off from safe water supply in the coming days. “Last month, UNICEF warned that more than 71 per cent of the population of Lebanon could run out of water this summer. Since then, this perilous situation has continued, with critical services including water and sanitation, power networks and healthcare under huge strain. Vital facilities such as hospitals and health centres have been without access to safe water due to electricity shortages, putting lives at risk. https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/lebanon-danger-losing-critical-access-water

Park the bible and just work on yourself. Take care, make yourself happy. IMO one partial solution is to focus 100% on your education. No distractions, just get your degree.

Is it wise to appeal to the figurehead of a death cult? Soon after Israel occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, in June 1967, the Israeli military authorities consolidated complete power over all water resources and water-related infrastructure in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). 50 years on, Israel continues to control and restrict Palestinian access to water in the OPT to a level which neither meets their needs nor constitutes a fair distribution of shared water resources. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/11/the-occupation-of-water/ This policy was enacted in 1967 and is still practiced.

Over 1200 Israelis have died as a result of the Hamas attack on Oct 7. I condemn it on the strongest grounds. But as a result of this action over 32,000 Palestinians have died. And predictions are that widespread starvation and death is inevitable for many Palestinians.

Because it is in everyone best interests that we cast off superstition, unfounded tales and challenge barbaric practices as acceptable. What if you died, did discover there was an afterlife, but denied heaven because God had decided that the bible and religion was a test for the gullible, who are not worthy of Heaven?

Consistency from external observations. For example, the spectrogram from a star a billion light years away displays the very same and rational signs as our Sun. All evidence, whether fossils or oil or spectrograms have firmly convinced the scientific community that the law of physics are universal everywhere and have been the same since the rapid expansion of the universe.

I have a friend who lives on a farm with a crappy well. They have not been able to get more than 3 gallons per hour. That suffices for daily needs, but in peak times the well runs dry and one must wait 90 minutes before the well replenishes.

Luke 23:34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. It is not complicated. Just follow in the teachings and example set by Jesus.

If I introduce doubt, you blame me? In my opinion the truth should never fear hard examination, because in the end it will prevail. And once the truth has been verified it shall be an even stronger center for faith. I shall ask my question now. Why do you fear skepticism?

An influencer is someone in your niche or industry with sway over your target audience. That is the definition of "influencer".

Good point, my bad. I am aware that both dates (birth and death) are celebrated but both of them are basically unknown and the church has pasted those events on dates that are convenient.

Yes, God gave us abilities. What we do with them is what matters. One can use their strength for bad things, or to defend their family. One can use their genitals to rape or father a family. No. Use the Bible to dispute the Bible? I have seen pages of biblical quote-offs in here, each party posting passages from the Bible, with zero intellectual exchange of opinions. Unlike you and many, I do not take the Bible as 100% literally true. I consider it a nice book with wonderful inspirational messages.
