Thanks but you guys are so obsessed with "civil discourse" and allowing "both sides" this place is becoming overrun with Russian trolls who simply recycle accounts. Sorry I can't help not replying to them, especial

Who's comparing coal to batteries? We're talking the lifetime energy cost of producing batteries from the ground to the recycling depot. Coal production is terrible and I'll never support it.

Yes but batteries contain toxic materials and rare earth minerals, require lots of energy to make, lots of energy to recycle, etc... So energy to mine the materials, energy to assemble the battery, energy to recycle the battery after it&#x2

When I say commentary I mean ancient commentary, or you could call it supplemental texts, ancient homilies, whatever. I mean writings closer to the actual time of Jesus. People like Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine of Hippo, Gregory Nazianzus,

Tyndale eh? Like I said... There's a massive corpus of commentary written from ~400-100 AD, nevermind 1500...

Protestant commentaries are way too modern and they throw out basically anything they deem "too Catholic". They also threw out books of the Bible that everyone used for the better part of 1500 years.

Americans have a weird fixation on translating the Bible. No religion apart from Protestants attempt to interpret holy texts without supporting ancient commentsry. Jews have the Talmud and other commentaries, Muslims have hadiths, Orthodox

A lot of words to repeat Russian propaganda. There was far more concerted Russification of Ukraine than Polish-ification... The Ukrainian language is the Ukrainian language, what's spoken in the east is considered a Creole that's

They would have plenty of land to be self-sufficient if their population was a bit smaller... Lots of countries outgrew their own land due to efficiency gains from globalism (India and Japan also come to mind).

No kidding. Chimps go to war with each other, humans have been doing so since before we were "human". There is literally no point in human history without documented violence.
