I was abused by my christian parents.
I would like to live long enough to see humanity mature out of superstition and free the world from human greed.

Where is the evidence? All we have is claims.
How do you know? Everything you’ve shown so far is natural phenomena and humans making shit up.
Why do you pretend there is a god?
People are dying for your mistakes.

We pay in sabertooth tigers for sabertooth tigers, and hey, your sabertooth tiger boss would like to show you a sabertooth tiger, just scroll down on your mobile sabertooth tiger, skip a few sabertooth tigers, click the tiger, and then you should see a sabertooth tiger.
And do not sleep. There are tigers.
Another polish article about this: https://naukawpolsce.pl/aktualnosci/news%2C367624%2Cuniwersytet-medyczny-odcina-sie-od-badan-ws-cudu-w-sokolce.html
The Medical University of Białystok officially distances itself from the results of these studies and emphasizes that the university does not endorse them.
One of the most valuable things about science is the consistent ability for anyone to repeat the experiment and get the same result. Why does the catholic church keep hiding from showing us that it is true?
“We did not do this as a university,” Chyczewski told PAP, adding that the tests were conducted illegally, “quietly,” outside the official channels. They took place at the Academic Department of Pathomorphological Diagnostics. Chyczewski emphasizes that the university was not commissioned to perform these tests, and the study was not registered anywhere. “Please do not attribute the diagnosis to any specific department operating within the institution called the Medical University,” Chyczewski wrote in his statement.
Why didn’t they collaborate with the university, if they have legitimate evidence?
Professor Chyczewski believes that his colleagues who made the diagnosis made a “schoolboy error” by trying to combine theology and biology, which, in his opinion, is impossible.
Because biology is evident and theology is not.
Just a few weeks ago, when the news of the tests became public, Archbishop Ozorowski said: “We are dealing with an extremely subtle matter. If we confess that this is the body of Christ, we cannot just cut it into pieces and subject it to tests. We must exercise caution and a certain fear.”
Fear of your own savior? Fear of your “loving” god’s punishment for proving his own existence? This same god who once loved when his own creations were eviscerated and cooked now is squeamish? Ohhhh, no, I get it, he’s only offended when it’s his OWN flesh that gets… Wait, what about Jesus, though? He was willing to make that sacrifice, but not this one?
Please stop defending catholicism. It is a death cult. People are dying for your false beliefs.
But without detailed reports? You just take them at their word?
You believe god is all-powerful, yes? And you believe this is how he chooses to interact with us?
politicsWhy would I do that when it’s not my claim? The onus is on you to show that they were disallowed.
If you can disprove the contents of the article you chose to criticize, please do.
I know what the article and the headline say. Your initial criticism is still invalid.
Can you find a source that says they were allowed to resubmit the post?
I do not have a facebook account to see the group page for myself. According to the article, the criticism was not reposted. It was banned there, as reflected by the headline.
They asked about submitting the post for approval
…which was ignored. Instead:
they were offered a meeting with Acton.
…which turned out to be a lie.
Where do you get the idea that they were allowed to resubmit the post?
the Ohio Democratic Party had demanded the criticism be removed. The caucus protested, appealed, but then relented. The criticism never went back up.
It was banned.
No. Remember? They tried that:
After deleting the original statement, we promptly asked about submitting the post for approval through the proper channels so that it could be reposted. At this point, ODP staff informed us that a meeting with Acton was on the table. After thorough discussion, caucus leadership determined this offer aligned with our goal to bring our message directly to her.
They got tricked into attending a meeting without Acton. And some of them weren’t allowed into the meeting.
That isn’t the question. The question is “why can’t the original posters resubmit through the proper channels”? Because it was banned.
The page where it could do the most good. Why is that not enough for you? It is still a ban.
Sokolka went through electron microscopy, and serratia tests.
How do we know that?
I found a Polish newspaper article suggesting the research was amateurishly performed and should have been more extensive. I used the auto-translate feature that my browser has, I can’t guarantee accuracy.

What kind of research did Professor Sulkowski perform? It’s unclear exactly. He enigmatically replies that it fell within the scope of his specialty.
However, he refuses to say how the nuclei were arranged in the fiber of the tissue he examined. “Such questions fall within the purview of the appropriate commission investigating the miracle,” he says, cutting the conversation short.
DNA testing would precisely indicate whether the tissue being examined is human or animal, and whether it’s male or female. “We would determine with a high degree of probability what region of the world it comes from. We would dispel any doubts,” assures Professor Śliwka.
Prof. Chyczewski: – The Archbishop was not interested in conducting such research. I was told that since the material was believed to be of miraculous origin, there was no need to bother with it any further.
Did he even publish his results? There should be images, evidence. So far we still just have claims.
They posted to Facebook. The post was taken down, allegedly because they did not go through proper channels to post it. Their requests to return the post to Facebook were met with invitations to a shitty zoom call they couldn’t enter with a person who did not attend.
that specific criticism isn’t banned because we just read that criticism in a substack
It remains forbidden from being posted on their Facebook page.
I appreciate you trying to hold headline authors accountable, but I don’t see how this headline is inaccurate.
Ohio Dem Party Has Banned Criticism Of Gov. Candidate Amy Acton Calling Trans Girls “Boys”
I think it is future-proof, too. Even if the post is restored, the fact remains that it was once banned.
That is a letter, not a report.
I have not been able to find the report myself, but other scientists have commented on it, including catholic “scientists":
DR. KELLY KEARSE, A CHEMIST SPECIALIZING IN BLOOD RESEARCH AND IMMUNOLOGY AND A TEACHER AT KNOXVILLE CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL, IS CALLING FOR THE USE OF MORE ACCURATE RESEARCH METHODS IN INVESTIGATING THE SHROUD OF TURIN AND OTHER RELIGIOUS PHENOMENA THOUGHT TO BE DIVINE.
Dr. Kearse points out important natural explanations that were never addressed. Until those are ruled out as causes, it is premature to claim a miracle.
It seems remarkable that all five test for the same, rare blood type. But there is a problem: the A and B antigens are not unique to humans. Since the 1960s, biologists have known that bacteria cells also have A and B antigens on their surfaces. Hence, if a sample is contaminated with bacteria, even if it contains no blood at all, it could still show a type AB blood result in this test.
A “very low concentration of human DNA” is indicative of handling contamination. In forensic DNA tests, trace amounts of DNA from humans who touch a sample can be unintentionally amplified, and reports say the hosts were touched by several people.

Dumb fuck, it’s not all-or-nothing. Specific criticism that could make a positive difference is being censored. I’m sorry you fucked up, but please stop pretending otherwise. It was an easy mistake, but a harmful one. We should not downplay what is happening here, criticism was banned.
Interesting, I’d love to see the report. Ah, it’s linked at the bottom of the article. Hmm, the link is unsafe, certificate expired two years ago. I proceeded with caution and saw… a 404 error.
There is no evidence of this supposed miracle.
Its not special pleading if its ACTUALLY special.
But it’s not actually special, evidently. Evidently, it does not exist, and special pleading is your excuse for believing it.
We are not of a different nature. For man has the nature of man, and a pig the nature of a pig.
I have the nature of me, you have the nature of you. It’s arbitrary, meaningless.
- the basic or inherent features, character, or qualities of something
Example: helping them to realize the nature of their problems
You haven’t answered anything. I can just say the nature of the universe is the universe. The nature of god is that he does not exist.
Try getting more specific.
Your words:
But sure, let’s frame it as banning all criticism.
Criticism has been banned.
But you never proved or defined “god”.
Anyway, even catholic scientists admit your example is not a miracle: https://drjulesgomes.substack.com/p/catholic-scientists-debunk-assertions
Catholic scientists are now urging the faithful to be cautious about claims that eucharistic miracles have been scientifically proven, as unconsecrated hosts tested under similar conditions have also shown similar “bleeding” appearances.
Peer-reviewed studies published by Catholic scientists who believe in Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist have also dismissed assertions that the miracles were validated by research carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN).
Would you like to try another? Spoiler: they’re all bullshit, magic isn’t real. Please use your brain.
…is what I said.
When did I say that? Literally every god I’ve ever heard of is human wishful thinking. But, yes, especially sky daddy.
Right. So, total bullshit, human invention.
I agree. Truth is the one thing that unites us all. That’s why I get so offended when people pretend magic is real or god exists.
The problem is people making shit up. There is no evidence, argument, or reason suggesting the existence of any god. It is backwards, wishful thinking and very harmful.
Magic isn’t real, nor are spirits and souls. Reality is endlessly fascinating, please do not obscure it. People are dying because the average human thinks it’s okay to treat assumptions like facts. Accountability is impossible when you’ve normalized delusion.
Neither of which he chose, based on available information.
I don’t like the idea of people thousands of years after my death pretending to know me. You get an echo at best, an image. Jesus is whatever you want him to be because he’s not here to prove otherwise.
I have lived in the bible belt all my life, still trying to escape. People are proud of their beliefs even though they aren’t true. “Everyone is entitled to their beliefs” is the common sentiment, but it’s wrong. Everyone is morally obligated to align their beliefs with reality as closely as they can.
That’s where science comes in. It is not an authority, not a religion, not a system. It is a process we use to acquire and refine knowledge. Given the physical limitations of our senses and minds, it is the best we can do.
People need to learn before we all die of stupid.
I was late on my first day for the same reason. 🙃 But I soon realized my mistake and worked with them for a couple of years before moving on to something else.
What was she supposed to say?
“Do you have any experience?”
“Yes.”
“OK good, next question…”
Yeah. The right is an audience that enjoys shit like Jeff Dunham. Less clever satire, more “HUHUHUH THE RACIST PUPPET SAID A RACIST THING I AGREE WITH UNIRONICALLY”
To be clear, he was shot sometime after the incident where he defended the girl, reason unknown. But I agree with your sentiment.
Yeah. It’s so unnecessary. “The threat has been neutralized. …Now let’s kill him.”
According to him:
https://lemmy.world/comment/24940277
The article is not all bad, but I dislike how the word “science” is misused.
It play?
No, it isn’t. Science is still the process of using senses and tools to measure, experiment, measure again, and report. If you mean the way we perform science is changing, say that.
Science relies on evidence to reach conclusions. Who is “accusing” science of anything? It is a process, not a person.
Science is not a knowledge system at all. It is a process we use to acquire and refine knowledge.
Mmm, yummy yummy boots. Fuck this shit.
Nice strawman. Of course I think it is good that he and others stopped a sexual predator.
This part remains untrue:
It reinforces racist stereotypes.
Was it a violent confrontation? Not until:
“Of course I gave the hallucinating schizophrenic a key to my front door. How else will he make my bed when I don’t want to?”
You did judge him:
That is not the case.
This phrase:
Is untrue.
I perceive conservatism as pessimistic ("we will sacrifice the next generation to keep what we have") while progressivism is hopeful ("we want to make a better future for the next generation"). A reductive generalization, admittedly.
“Your dog is too sexy, we can’t show that”
I asked my boss why the company insisted we show up three times a week. It was basically to justify the cost of putting the buildings there, maybe some kind of tax benefits. She called it “funny money”. I quit my job.
