“Faith, without deeds, is dead” (James 2:17) But of course the Stupid MFers will conclude the deeds are those to shove their faith down everyone else’s throats.
And from earlier in that same book:
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers’" (Matthew 7:21-23)
Invoking his name is not enough.
Notice also that nowhere in the passages attributed to be Jesus himself speaking is he quoted as having the Judgement be on anything else but you behaving morally towards your fellow human.
That sounds to me like a breakdown in communication. Why, if the utility needed to make a big hole in the street to do their work, was it not made obvious that that’s what they were doing? No barrels, no cones, no sign, no reply from local government?
We can’t really tell from the picture, but I wonder if the utility did what they needed to do and repacked the trench with loose fill until they could either resume work or properly patch the trench. In the mean time time it makes for a nasty bump, especially as the fill settles.
I’m fairly sure I’ve seen holes in the road that are just filled with gravel because they’re not done in that area yet.
I always see signage when that sort of work is being done. It also gives people a warning to avoid it, so that they don’t suffer vehicle damage and/or get into an accident. If they really put a hole in the road and left it there with no signage, that’s on them. And if there was an accident I’d expect a lawsuit.
I’ve had construction on a road near me for at least the last year. They work on it and then leave it for a couple weeks to months and come back and dig it up some more.
It’s not exactly holes in the road, but it’s not exactly a flat road either. You definitely have to drive significantly less than the speed limit and be careful or you could damage your car, or at least have a very bumpy ride.
If I had time and resources and the arrogance to do it, I’d go flatten out the road.
I know what you mean, and yeah that’s different from an actual hole or trench. If it’s just a space where the road is uneven that’s a slightly different situation.
Right? The “DO NOT USE” policy having been in place for over a decade, it’s not like they haven’t had plenty of time to disable the function on all the trains by now.
Is this one of those cases where he did actually say it, but he’s stalling everything by forcing them to prove it was him or is he genuinely saying it wasn’t him?
They say he “enlisted the support of an independent party to look into the audio clip” and author says “In the event that the voice on the audio is indeed that of Edwards”, but they don’t elaborate on it.
