A biologist, an engineer, and a mathematician observe an empty building...
<p>They see two people entering the building and sometime later, see three coming out. The biologist declares, "Oh, they must have reproduced." The engineer argues, "Our initial count must have been incorrect." The mathematician says, "Now if one more person goes into the building, it will be completely empty."</p><p>I was never a big fan of math or science, but that joke makes me chuckle. You don't necessarily have to be a master of those subjects to understand the punch lines. When Redditor u/Butcheey asked people, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ifxhb2/whats_a_good_science_joke/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">"What's a good science joke?"</a>, some very smart people stepped up to deliver laughs. And while they honestly go over my head sometimes, hopefully their nuances won't be lost on you!</p>

This joke has layers
<p>Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Blaise Pascal are all playing a game of hide and seek. It's Einstein's turn to be "it", so he closes his eyes and starts counting. Pascal immediately goes and finds a place to hide. Newton however doesn't go anywhere. Instead he takes out a piece of chalk, draws a 1m X 1m square on the floor, and steps inside it. Einstein finally gets done counting, opens his eyes, and exclaims "Aha, Newton I have found you!" To which Newton replies "But no, you have found Pascal!"</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ifxhb2/whats_a_good_science_joke/g2r2m8y?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">wonderllama</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_8" style="min-height:280px"></div>

What was the nicest thing someone ever did for you?
<p>I was a really shy child, and was very self-conscious and unsure about myself. That was until a parent teacher conference. I had been to a few at that point in my elementary school years. Usually, the parent/teacher meetings were straight forward and focused on how bad I was at math. But one year, a teacher also took the time to mention my other strengths, calling me creative, intelligent, and kind. Her taking the time to say such a thing really boosted my self confidence for the long term.</p><p>Redditor u/minimalisticbeauty wanted to hear similar stories of kindness, and so asked people... <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/idvpdk/what_was_the_nicest_thing_someone_has_done_for_you/" target="_blank">"What was the nicest thing someone has done for you?" </a></p>

People Share The 'Plot Holes' In Their Religion That They Find Hardest To Reconcile
August 06 | 2020
Religion can be a beautiful thing...
<p>But even the most devoted can notice flaws. While learning the stories behind your faith, or reading religious texts, there may be some passages that make you do a double take. Maybe it's outdated or completely lacking logic, but sometimes there can be humor found in it.</p><p>Redditor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/" rel="dofollow" target="_blank">u/sebastian-yrigoyen</a> asked people to share the plot holes they've noticed while practicing their religion, and some people made very good points.</p>

Could someone explain the rules for heaven?
<p>Late to the party, but in Islam there's the belief that God knows everything you will do before you're even born. Meaning that we don't control our own actions. At the same time, to get into Heaven, you need to-- of your own accord-- pray 5 times daily, read the Quran, etc. So my thing is this: If God knows what everyone is gonna do beforehand, and He <em>knows</em> people aren't gonna do what it takes to get into Heaven (cause he is omniscient); doesn't this then mean that God has already decided who goes to Heaven and who gets Hell? Cause there's no possible way in any Abrahamic religion (cause they all operate under the "do this to get into paradise" thing and all have God knowing everything before it happens) that we'd be able to try to get into Heaven. And this is just the tip of the iceberg on questions</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/g0ejf3g?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">tartarcassy</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_36" style="min-height:280px"></div>

When was sin created?
<p>I am a Christian and a thing that has really puzzled me is that if Adam and Eve ever gave birth to a child wouldn't it be a sin even if marriage wasn't a thing back then?

Or did God make marriage a thing in the future and just brush it off since Marriage wasn't a thing back then?

The mysterious story of Easter
<p>Why did they roll a big rock over the the entrance of the cave where Jesus's body was taken to after he died? It seems like something that was insanely impractical for people to do at the time. Was it common practice to throw bodies in a cave and then seal it? If so, was Jesus the last body to be put in? To a non-believer, it just seems like something the story added to make the story more convincing, but it doesn't really make sense outside of the set up for a resurrection story.</p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_5" style="min-height:280px"></div>

<p>On the same subject, I've heard a preacher talk about how Jesus basically teleported out of the cave after the resurrection, but god apparently sent an angel to sit on the boulder which was moved out of the way (for no reason). That implies that not only was there a resurrection, but god thought it wasn't miraculous enough and had to add a dash of showmanship to the whole coming back from the dead thing. What's up with that?</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/g02cxj2?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank" rel="dofollow">piejam</a></p>

The ridiculous life spans of Biblical figures
<p>Christians claim that the people in the Bible lived to be absurdly old. For example, they say that Noah was around 650 years old when he built the ark and didn't die until he was older then 900. How could this even be remotely possible? It doesn't make sense because they would have lived much shorter lives then we do in the present.

Political Optics

<p>This one is easily explained and historically substantiated. Rome was working furiously to kill all the Christians. However, it just wasn't working. It seemed the more that they killed, the more their numbers would grow. Constantine saw a political opportunity and followed the advice of the old adage "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and officially changed the religion of Rome to Christianity. Most consider it a politically motivated decision. The Catholics say he converted himself and the entire country and they recognize him as an important figure in the history of their religion.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/g00plrf?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">redditorhowie</a></p>

Lilith?
<p>Lilith, who was Eve before Eve. She was created first to be equal to Adam, but didn't take kindly to constantly being told what to do, so she was kicked out of paradise (or left of her own will maybe). She supposedly had sex with angels or something, creating other tribes. Then God was like, "Well, screwed that one up. Next one will be a total sub." And so he made Eve out of a piece of Adam to make sure we always remember that women are owned by men. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/i1o99j/what_are_some_plot_holes_in_you_religion/fzzh6uj?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow">HostilePasta</a><span></span></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_32" style="min-height:280px"></div>

All that matters is that the Christian God gets recognition. That God, to me, sounds more narcissistic than benevolent and loving.

<p>There's also issues such as, if God is truly omnipotent and omniscient then he could have purged the world of all suffering and pain. But he hasn't because... he loves us? Because somehow the gift of free will, and therefore the gift of imperfection is more important than letting your children suffer and experience pain? Some children are born into poverty, beaten, starved, and killed before 10 years of age, without ever seeing kindness. What's the lesson there God? Why must you treat the creations you love with such disdain solely to "make a point."</p><p>I could go on.

Morals be damned
<p>No longer religious, but one of the biggest contradictions in Christianity is that human beings by nature are <em>morally</em> imperfect beings. Yet a necessary component for the forgiveness of sins includes having the right sort of beliefs toward Jesus. How does it make sense that a person's eternal destiny relies <em>solely</em> on an <em>imperfect</em> being having a specific belief. I think we can all agree that human beings are morally imperfect, but I'd argue that they're far more imperfect when it comes to having true beliefs (assuming Christianity was true).

Huh?

Then Adam started complaining about him wanting to be alone and out of parts God took from Adam he made Eve.</p><p>But here's my question, how would Adam have reproduced if he wouldn't have felt the need for a female companion? Gay sex? With himself?

Fake Prophets
<p>I know someone who's Baha'i. They believe that every prophet talked about the same God, but according to what He wanted/thought was best at that certain time, and they believe that god is only good.

To Hell!
<p>Not my religion, but why a Christian will condemn someone to Hell for being gay (condemning someone to Hell also being forbidden), because Leviticus, while eating shrimp and covered in tattoos, also Leviticus. Then telling the gay person it's ok for the Christian because Christ loves them, and he's cool with it. Isn't sin, sin?

But ever since Britishers left India, LGBTQ+ community has been looked down upon.

A downside to traveling, especially abroad, is that you don't know what others expect of you. You may mean well, but your actions could be seen an rude or insulting.

This very specific taunt doesn't fly in Romania
<p>In Romania (mostly in the north west) yelling "Istenem pierdut Ardeal" has been known to cause massive street fights between hungarians and romanians. "Istenem" is magyar for "Oh my God" and "pierdut Ardeal" is broken romanian for "we've lost Transylvania" making fun of the hungarian minority status and the stereotypical hungarian who can't talk romanian well (emphasis on stereotypical) all at the same time.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/hrsfdb/what_is_a_big_nono_in_your_country/fy9mime?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">mihai786</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_5" style="min-height:280px"></div>
