obey human authority is one of the most repeated commands in the bible. and not just cxn authorities. dudes with much more skin in the game fleshed our this area of christian philosophy long ago. do some reading and stop being a self centered coward.
I'm not usually this generous, but let it be known that this morning I am in a good mood. Here are just a few:

Who?

Francis Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto
Nikolai Berdyaev, The Realm of Spirit and the Realm of Caesar
John Knox, The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women
John Milton, The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates
Westminster Confession of Faith (1646), (Chapter 23: Of the Civil Magistrate)
Martin Niemöller, sermons and letters
The proper role of the magistrate, and for that matter resistanceto tyrrany and principled disobedience, is meaningless once you remove the real authority of said magistrate.
You want to be your own little god who doesn't have to be inconvenienced by another human interfering with your plans. It's a poorly informed worldview. Eat some meat.
authority needs a source. he definitely needs someone else above him.
also you've totally missed the whole idea of spheres of government
also you've totally failed to account for the poor souls you're claiming must be under your own human rule.
get out in the world and see some real broken families and evil people. you're young and inexperienced, and it shows.
your opinion stems from your self worship.
bible doesn't let you be the center of anything.
so it definitely means that you're totally mistaken.
you're supposed to die for the ones you love/serve. left handed victory etc. submit. and find true freedom.
we all die. desperately grasping at power for the sake of self worth is a pathetic way to go out.
yes the verses are without context and must be read and interpreted in context
read ezra and nehemiah. recognize that they, and daniel, served one of the most brutal series of tyrant kings the world has seen. and were commended for it.
Oh, that's right. You don't read your Bible. You just lambaste the world with opinions that you picked up from an online source that made you feel good about yourself.
in order of importance (but like all of life these cross pollinate):
1a. self discipline. ex: 2min of pushups, same time every day.
1b. have a life mission statement, a 20-40 year vision, and 20, 10, 5, 1 year SMART goals. learn about SMART
2. physical fitness. includes diet. my biggest regret. don't need a gym but be systematic
3. rawdog life. avoid sugar, porn, alcohol, psychoactive compounds, caffine. especially porn. 2nd biggest regret
4a. stop talking so much. ask questions.
4b. meet weekly with a group of people where you do things together and where you listen
5. tell the truth
6. honor your parents and elders. as in, actively show honor. i don't care how bad they are.
7. have a couple things you're good at that can make money
8. have a couple things you're good at that make people happy / laugh
9. read the classics. read a little every day
10. memorize poetry / stories / songs. third biggest regret
variation and change are assigned significance by biased humans. models are created to guide our interpretation of data. these models are supremely weak.
i think you'd be surprised at 1) how small the scientific community is 2) how much weight "in my expert opinion" carries 3) how much government money, with strings attached, has been poured into climate study infrastructure and model construction--profoundly influencing scientist's interpretation of data
and all data is manufactured. it's physical phenomena transformed into numbers on a page. the whole process of how those numbers are created is rife with bias and error. in this area of climate, the relationship between {number and location of sensors} and {model detail} is the key to understanding how bogus this shit is.
source: analytical chemist's (phd + industry) expert opinion
1 climate variation: no duh
2 regional climate trends over time: depends
3 global climate trend over time: unknown
4 significance of regional climate trends over time: depends
5 significance of global climate trend over time: can't answer without #3
Yes, it does. To say we have it with it being warming, you are stating that you have a statistically valid trend, which means you have to have some idea of how much.
If you do not know where a climate and geographically connected event is occurring, then you cannot say that you know it is happening at all.
I don't think you understand how that data is gathered. There is so much error and interpretive bias, not only in the simple generation of the numbers, but then assigning them to time, And then comparing with current measurements. There are vast areas of the earth where temperature has never been measured with any reliability and therefore your global trends would be made completely insignificant if there was data from those that varied or differed at all in relation to the current measurements.
A very difficult fact to verify and a globally sized hypothesis that cannot even be tested.
You don't seem to have a very strong grasp of the scientific method. I take it you took some chemistry courses in college and that's about where your education regarding the philosophy of science ended.
It is impossible to win an argument intellectually when the argument at its core is emotional and ideological. Therefore, in order to engage with the insanity of "climate change," we must tell powerful stories, not make logical arguments that will simply be ignored.

Social media is not human friendly, much less child friendly.
Why don't you feed them a hot dog every day while you're at it. Be sure to cut it up into small pieces so that it's safe.
look at this ignorant "parent"

This is an entity who
A. is trolling
B. has already made up its mind.
It is just trying to argue with people. Don't interact. Especially with demons masquerading as angels.
Also kudos to the woman who burned down the "abortion center" that was not an abortion center yet. Let's see some men actually grow some balls.
this whole problem is easily solved by this (or, dick at birth)
no perves in the ladies room, but dudes don't care if a "chick" or 2 show up on our side if that's the way it's gotta be
have a contact in #nicaragua and he says he can't receive monero because the "network is heavily monitored" and "anything that looks like #crypto could land you in jail"
any insight?

there are pros and cons. diversity of thought at the fundamentals is useful, and potentially helpful at the application level.
but most plebs live for slogans
gab and @a is quite clear they are building a Christian parallel. Freedom under law, like the original us of a. You certainly don't get to just say anything back when 1a was written lol
