If you want to learn CPR, the Disque Foundation allows you to take the class for free and attests to be aligned with the current ILCOR protocol (you might catch minor discrepancies). Before you pay them though, know that for certification some institutions will require an AHA or ARC issued certificate.
For certification, you can do the AHA HeartCode class online in about an hour, followed by a 10 minute skills test on a Voice-Assisted Manikin. The manikin simulations guide you with incredible feedback on depth and rate, likely providing a better learning experience than an instructor-led class with the old style of dummies. Conveniently, these are in self-serve stations located across the country (often in an office space near your local hospital that you let yourself into with a combination code).
Also, some of the more useful learning tools are the animated visualizations showing the physiology involved such as https://youtube.com/watch?v=9QPwrVIBMvY — these help learners conceptualize how the first few compressions are not effectively circulating blood but are instead building up pressure (which helps them understand why continuous compressions are considered by healthcare professionals when there is not yet an advanced airway and used after there is — https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIR.0000000000001369...).
Christians believe that God has called them to live with concern for others, as he has loved them counter-conditionally. When they fail to do so, (everyone does!) on reflection they feel pangs on their conscience. So, on occasion they examine how they are impacting others and if they believe they are doing harm, they change their mind, resolving to avoid the error in the future. They often credit God with the inspiration (the language you keyed in on) because reflection and concern and changes of mind are all his design. You can argue with them: that’s just “doing theology”.
Christians believe that God is inherently good. “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you: that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.”
You have to differentiate between the old and the new testament in Bible. God is good and caring derived from the new testament where Jesus God's son ultimately died for all our sins.
In the old testament God was hard and judging heartless, killing his creation through flood, wanting sacrifices, killed 1st borns, leveled two whole cities Sodom and Ghomora, and was in general an hardhearted God that you should fear.
That's what has been told me when I did the church courses as teen :)
But it was not meant as two gods, it's meant as the hard god father changed his mind seeing the son die for the humans. I always also think of Trinity - but I'm a bad Christian anyway. So thanks for pointing to Marcionism.
Sure. And The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins explains the logical problems with religion.
But, I don't see any dualism here, only a (baseless) accusation of such by monideas. In the old testament God was hard and cruel and he is much nicer in the new testament. Marcionism is the idea that they're separate gods, which is not what theGeatZhopa claimed.
There’s an old saying in Tennessee (I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee) that says “never strike a king unless you are sure you shall defeat him”. Bust in, guns in hand, and now find they’ve turned to sausages. (A tale as old as time.)
It seems like the "Step 1, Step 2, …, Step 4" format likely predated the 1998 South Park episode, with use on Usenet for omitting dangerous or legally-questionable instructions or otherwise gatekeeping "trade secrets": https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/where-does-the-step-st...
