Honestly this fear is overblown. Unless you're making pastries, baking is relatively straightforward and forgiving. Breads, cakes and flatbreads love you and want you to have fun. Experimenting with vegan substitutions, gluten free baking and scaling batch sizes helped me feel much less intimidated by recipes, you learn what role the ingredients are playing and how to adjust if you add too much, too little, or too not the right thing.

    Well yeah... Christianity is a death cult. Since the very beginning they've been saying that the end times are coming soon. I guess some of them finally realise 2000 years is in no way "soon" and maybe they need to do something about it.

    If youre ona phone keyboard holding "$" should give you other currency symbol options. £, €, ₩ etc. Otherwise the usual syntax to denote pounds is to leave off the symbol and append GBP. Eg £2B or 2B GBP are easier to read and easier to type.

    Not according to jesus. "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."

    Forgive me for not taking "someone counted it" as a citation.

    And its absolutely not the primary theme of the bible, that is supplication to god in all things.

    Saying "starts with" when it doesnt appear until half way into the second chapter is fascinating. Amos is a short book, we're nearly a quarter of the way through it before the needy are mentioned.

    And even then its not "give to the needy". Its "dont sell the needy for money". Did you read Amos before mentioning it?

    The bible doesnt command us to feed the hungry or care for the poor thousands of times. There a handful of times in the new testament where it does so, but pretending the bible is this spotless pro-humanity text is at best ignorant and at worst misinformation.
