    Do you regard the extraction of petroleum from the earth as straining to a degree?

      The length of time that somebody identifies as a Christian does not directly corollate to their ability to understand Scripture.

        Teslas and granddaughters, folks. Wait, why is this thread in Civics.

        *scrutinizes at the preacher*

        Friends don't let friends bring their grandchildren into Civics. How's about we all go on out to the Lobby and have some 7-up?

          Because it would ultimately get to the cost/benefit ration of EVs. Didn't take long. (the very first response)

            And you think failing at being a Christian somehow gives you special insight into the proper interpretation of scripture?

              I think the biggest problem I'd have with buying a tesla is that I think the chance Musk bankrupting the company within a few years is pretty high. That would reduce the resale value of the car, and make getting replacement parts difficult.

                Or increase its value if it becomes a collector item like Delorian, Tucker, or Edsel.

                  So, buy a brand new one and stick it in the garage for 20 years?

                    Change out the battery for a Mr. Fusion upgrade and do a hover conversion.

                          I think you're showing, once again, your profound ignorance of Scripture, aside from being too clever by half.

                          It's not "money is the root" -- it's the LOVE of money.....

                              I suspect proud fools who love money would point to that difference and feel righteous, without realising that both renderings of the passage condemned them.

                                Yet ANOTHER RippedOutOfContext verse showing your ignorance of Biblical application.

                                Star, please take your Bible Lessons elsewhere - maybe start your own Bible Tutorial Thread.
                                But do not post any more of this nonsense in this thread.

                                Thanks.
