The reason the shadow is gray is because light is bouncing off the other surfaces in the environment. The shadowed area isn’t receiving direct light, but it is receiving reflected indirect light.

The issue is that Mormons and other Christians seem to have differing views on who counts as a Christian. Most Christian sects use the Nicene Creed, which includes the basic set of beliefs all (or almost all, depending on your view ofc) Christian sects adhere to. Mormonism diverges from the Nicene Creed:

• they don’t believe in one God (Mormons believe that humans have the capability to become Gods, and that God was mortal at one time and had His own God),
• they don’t believe that God made the universe (they simply believe that He organized it),
• and they don’t believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one substance (they believe that They are three distinct beings).

Mormonism, on the other hand, seems to believe that Christianity is simply accepting Jesus as a prophet sent by God and the Bible as holy scripture…but by that logic Muslims would also be considered Christians.

Not necessarily; try Bottles first and see how that works for you.

The response I gave was not necessarily for you; it is for anyone who is genuinely interested in answers to the questions you posed. This is a public forum, after all, and God knows I’ve struggled with some of those questions before. I would be happy to discuss these questions from my Baha’i (not Christian) perspective in a good-faith conversation, but if you are not interested, I will not bother you.

I’m afraid I don’t understand some of your questions, so I’ll attempt to answer the ones I do understand.

…why do you believe in any of your statements?

I don’t know what religion YappyMonotheist subscribes to, but I can confidently say they believe in the God of Abraham so I’ll provide some supporting citations from the scriptures of the Abrahamic religions.

Why would god […] favor the righteous?

Believers in God believe that God is the source of all good (James 1:17, Qur’ān 4:79, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh 26:2). Being righteous brings you closer to God (Hebrews 10:22, Qur’ān 41:30, The Hidden Words (from the Persian) 69).

Why would he care that you live by the ever subjective moral code of an age and culture?

Consider the influence of religion on society, and how fundamental its ethics are to our culture’s ethics, even if we’re not aware of it.

Being endowed with something means being given, I assume you means created with?

“Endowed” can mean “created with”, as in Article 1 of the UDHR (“They are endowed with reason and conscience…”), and it is used this way here.

I am sure your god cares about your personal growth…

God created us because He loves us (Ephesians 1:4-6, Qur’ān 2:29, The Hidden Words (from the Arabic) 3). As a being that transcends physical limitations, space, and time (1 Kings 8:27, Qur’ān 2:255, Prayers and Meditations 69:1), why would He not care about every one of His creations personally?

Playing devil’s advocate here: most websites are generated by programs, so it’s possible it could be a coding error. That said, for it to plausibly be a coding error in whatever generator they’re using, they’d have to store the Constitution with each paragraph in a separate file. That’s the only way I could possibly see a “coding error” exclude the stuff that was excluded.

Edit: That is to say, obviously it is not a coding error. The text of the Constitution would be stored in one file because 1. that makes sense, and 2. storing per paragraph would add to overhead. And stuff in the middle of files doesn’t just get deleted by a coding error.

(Autistic person here, working on expressing my emotions too) You could try a feelings wheel. There are a few different designs that work on different principles, but the general idea is that they show the relationships between different emotions. I attached a few here so you can see which one works for her best.

TREE is an extremely fast-growing function in set theory. TREE(1) equals 1, TREE(2) equals 3, and TREE(3) equals a number so large that its lower bound easily dwarfs Graham’s Number.
