Is the problem of Hell actually a problem?

Indeed, apologies to all, I buried my dog yesterday and the wake got out of hand (neither cryptic or a joke) ... 🙄 Indeed, they are also a means to find peace, a map of a path to contentment; politics muddy the water's by peddling fear; but who in their right mind would fear contentment. Why, for instance, are contented people portrayed as 'sheeple'???

Is framing issues in terms of "men and women" necessary in the 21st century?

So never use three descriptors if one is considered bad? That seems a fragile stance.

Would breaking up an asteroid before it hit Earth reduce the damage if all of its mass still hit?

The Chicxelub meteorite impacted into the proto Caribbean, which was larger then. It penetrated up tp 19 km into the crust, driving molten rock down into the mantle. Today it has a 3 ring structure, the outer ring being 195 km across. So the majority of its energy was extended driving deep into the earth and melting the rock to suevite (A breccia formed by shock metamorphism whose angular fragments are set in a glassy matrix).
