There are 58 poisonous plants, some milder than others (it depends on which part is eaten, roots, leaves, seeds, flowers, fruits, etc.). Possible fatal ones include: Autumn crocus, Castor bean, Daffodil, Hyacinth, Hydrangea, Jimson Weed, Lily of the Valley, Mistletoe, Morning Glory, wild Mushrooms, Poinsettia, Hemlock, Sumac, Rhubarb, White Snakeroot (which was one of the most common causes of death among early settlers in America), Yew (eat it and you die within minutes), and so on. If they don’t kill you they may cause diarrhea, convulsions, paralysis and even comas.
A new book out called Wicked Plants tells us about them. In order for human beings to learn these plants were poisonous people had to die from eating them. That's a nice way to learn about them. Praise God for his creation! Praise God for informing us about them! God is Great!
Physics dictates the earth cannot possibly be flat. When a celestial object reaches a certain mass gravity will pull it into a spherical shape. You know that, and they would too if they ever...
The toll is 51 dead and 27 missing now, Sunday morning. Gov. Greg Abbott [...] declared Sunday a day of prayer for the state. “I urge every Texan to join me in prayer this Sunday — for the...
I like the expression "All seriousness aside" to mean the exact opposite. I've actually had people in real life complain that I use too much sarcasm. I don't think they were...
Many locations in the American West are prone to flash flooding, especially normally arid areas with sloping land. The lack of thick vegetation cover combined with hard-pan soils prevents sudden...
I never saw it, but thank Google for inventing "the transformer" which allowed OpenAI (via ChatGPT) to let the AI cat* out of the bag before Google planned to, thereby unleashing the AI...
You can't escape their sphere of influence. In the book How Minds Change it has a chapter about Flat Earthers. They even have their own dating sites, because - guess what - Flat...
Some religious people can't even spell their religion. For example I heard about some military recruiting scenario or some such where the recruits had to fill out forms and one field...
Their explanations for why what they do is not a religion never makes sense. Like, I've heard something like the following: "Religion is man searching for God, but [Christianity, Bible,...
Apparently both the "First Baptist Church of Memphis" and the "Second Baptist Church of Memphis" are real entities. I thought it was more of a hyperbole, but both are real...
Speaking of Flat Earthers, and Christians who keep going back to church while ignoring the mountain of disconfirming evidence, and the 2024 US election, you might have wondered if people are...
Someday, the non-denominational churches will have proliferated to the point where somebody has to start a non-non-denominational church. It's like the churchy version of the euphemism...
Similar to the way that every racist denies being a racist. Trump for example denies he is a racist as he violently detains and deports the Mexican Christians to Third World prisons.
And speaking of churches, and preaching, and teaching, why are they even necessary? Why can't every Christian get their gospel directly from Jesus, like Paul did? There's nothing in the...
Hand them a bottle of poison and ask if they believe what Mark 16:18 says. My fave is when they realize "religion" is bad, and call it a "relationship." Which opens a fresh can...
Just look at the name of the bill that just passed: "Big Beautiful Bill". The name is insult to intelligent people, like he and his acolytes in Congress are dealing with little children.
