<blockquote>It is not possible to definitively name one religion as having the most evidence backing it.</blockquote>
Where there is evidence no one talks of faith.
<blockquote>There were hundreds of people who saw Jesus alive after his death.</blockquote>
Well the bible writer would say that, wouldn't he?
Odd how no other contemporary writers, not even the Jewish ones, mentioned this amazing occurrence at all - you would have thought it would have come up. Or, that every first account of the alleged Resurrection, as with all of the miracles, is found in anonymous (the names ascribed to the Gospels are traditional in origin) documents 3 of which stem from an earlier lost source 'Q' and were written to proselytise, literally decades after supposed events - and then, don't even agree with each other? That they are not a primary documents and so by definition just, well, hearsay?
<blockquote> Believing everything created itself out of nothing for no reason </blockquote>
But science does not say that everything that exists came from 'nothing'. It says rather that there is always 'something'. (In fact to say that nothing 'exists' is meaningless if one thinks about it for a second) There is though no logical reason why there cannot be something permanent in nature which can provoke something more. At least, <i>pace</i> Occam it would be the simplest explanation for things and does not require a whole new level of reality to explain things. Also, I think you are confusing 'reason' with 'determination' the latter of which implies a purpose.

“If I bear witness of myself, my testimony is not true” John 5:31
<blockquote>How do KNOW there is no God? I'll save you the trouble. You don't. It's your OPINION, </blockquote>
This is true (and as such the assertion is the dividing line between 'hard' and 'soft' atheism). Of course the same can be said for the faith that your preferred deity exists.
Just like Trump did this time round? I must admit though, to an outside at least, that the College is a weird system which puts too much deciding power in just a few key districts. Matters ought to be based on the result of the popular vote.
<blockquote>No, the same people that were passionate of voting Trump out would be equally passionate to keep him from returning </blockquote>
That depends on how strong their feelings were after 4 years after Biden/Harris in charge. People can change their minds, you know.
<blockquote>No fucking way that happened. </blockquote>
As previously said the simplest explanation is exactly as outlined.
<blockquote>Fake votes. </blockquote>
Surely in the most recent election it was, according to your conspiracy theory, a <i>lack</i> of fake votes?
Let's hope you continue to stand up against Putin.
Unfortunately it is not just Gaetz. RFK has been forced to say just recently that he has 'no knowledge' when accused of groping a babysitter - but then added that he has "so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world." That must be reassuring for Republicans to hear.
I have not heard a 'will make no preparations or precautions' comment reported in the press, which one would have thought the right wing media would have jumped on. But it is certainly true that, after an early defence review, the Defence Secretary aims to save £500m by reducing or dispensing with out of date, or poor equipment - a slightly different perspective on things.
No problem ... now that he has. Just rather embarrassing for Defendant Donald and puts his judgment in question again.
That is true, and he has stated as much today. But then the West could say the same of the N Korean troops he is now employing, or all those drones from Iran.
We've been in a cold war for a few years now, it is a hot one we have to worry about now, especially if Putin is emboldened by appeasement.
There will be plenty more if anything comes out... fortunately, though, he won't embarrass the US by being in public office.
er...ok then
The COVID-19 vaccine's protection reduces over time, but it doesn't stop after three months. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults over 75 or 80 years old, and adults over 50 or 60 with comorbidities, get revaccinated 6 to 12 months after their most recent dose. The 2024–25 COVID-19 vaccine is a one-shot vaccine for most people, and there is no booster this season.
As I say, I do what is recommended here by the health authorities and get vaccinated accordingly when invited. It is those who refuse vaccinations who most put people at risk.
It is also the simplest one.
Thank you for your opinion. However if Trump withdraws help for Ukraine the war is likely to be lost, Russia will soon be at the walls of NATO and will be encouraged to try it on next with one of the smaller Baltic states next in the firing line.
I have had four, and that is all that is recommended here.
