Twisting every statement l make. I never have made any claim to sjw or wannabe philosopher. They are exactly the opposite of who l am. Further l make no apology for either my faith or political position.
You are the only person l have every blocked on this site, which l did several months ago. I have to click an extra click to see your inane replies to me or anyone else, but l won’t bother.
Would suggest you do the same.
You do what you have accused others of doing.
A lot of people would say that faith is belief even with a lack of evidence.
Interesting axiomatic change you have highlighted though.
Consider this: faith is belief when there is evidence to the contrary, and not just a lack of evidence. There is evidence that evolution is true yet some believers, not all, still think it’s a lie. It is reasonable to think that the story of Noah’s Ark is not to be taken literally but some do. It defies reason to believe every species of animal could fit on a boat.
But let me clarify myself. I darn sure won’t be voting for the Dem nominee, either. It’ll be an actual Trad-social conservative or bust.
Where is the faith directed? Toward a story? An evolutionary process? Toward an ark? Or God?
There is plenty of evidence that the story is false. Same for an ark.
Toward God, which goes back to the old catch 22 of not being able to prove a negative. No evidence for, and no evidence against.
There is evidence for and against. It’s the interpretation of that evidence which is reasonable or not.
Some will say they know God exists when they see a sunrise or saw the birth of their child. This isn’t that reasonable.
There is evidence that God(s) don’t exist. We know for a fact Atlas isn’t holding up the sky.
Yeah. I don’t actually care to debate it. Just thought that was an interesting axiomatic shift in the definition.
The problem with disproving God is that no one who believes in one, can actually define him. But that’s also faith; believing in something you can’t fully comprehend.
I have no problems with faith. People can believe what they want. I may or may not believe in God. I just keep it out of discussions of public policy because it has no place in a society like ours. My whole issue is with the idea that some people who believe in God feel that others should have to live according to their faith. That is ridiculous to me when you consider what I just posted, that is, not even they can actually define God nor fully comprehend him.
But by not doing anything aren’t they in agreement? By not calling him out when he’s the way he is or when he proposes yet another policy that runs counter to what the Republican Party they are agreeing or at the minimum showing they have no spine.
And yet now that you’re in you want a giant wall and armed snipers guarding because some people might be risking their lives to escape something.
Also comparing what you escaped from (forgive me I can’t remember where and I know you have said it) to what is being proposed by some of these democratic socialists probably doesn’t make any sense. Anymore than the other types of socialism like Trump paying farmers 30 billion or us bailing out the banks magically turned the country into what you came from.
And I’m happy you are here and escaped.
Agree.
It’s beyond obvious that Trump is a “Christian” merely because he needed to become one for appearances as the gop basically requires it. Him saying 2 Corinthians instead of second Corinthians is hilarious and worth watching whenever you need a laugh.
Also Trump pointing out that he never asks God for forgiveness spits in the face of Christianity. What’s weird is that Obama acted about a billion times more Christian than Trump yet a lot of evangelicals were convinced he was a born somewhere else Muslim.
And they think Trump is the second coming or something. Which Trump would probably be offended if Jesus came back and took any of the spotlight off him. “Yeah I don’t like this new Jesus guy much. I prefer my religious figures stay dead. I’m drawing much bigger crowds than Jesus believe me.”
AND judged President Obama much more harshly than Trump.That is one of the truly hypocritical parts. (Sorry for using the “h” word do much…but Trump sure has brought it out in a lot of people).
The same is true of his Republican/Conservative “conversion”.
THIS!
And HOW TRUE it would be! (…sadly…)
If things continue to go as they are; with the choices that we seem to be facing; I have made it clear that I will most likely be sitting out the 2020 Presidential Election.
I’m probably voting third party again. I’m in Kansas which is a foregone red conclusion and I’d rather support the idea that we need a third party.
I can tell you in one word… Abortion. The left supports abortions to the point of partial birth. Ths left supports abortions to the point of partial birth, even to the point of leaving botched abortions where the child survives to die on the table. This is one example.
We can support a rude persons who puts forth good policy, or insane leftists who want to socialize the U.S.
The democrats are pigs with lipstick. Trump is who he is, but his policies are good. It’s a no brainer.
Trump is not polite, big deal… Get over it. I am not going to move the country super alt-left in the name of superficial politeness. And the democrats lie just as bad… See Russia.
Ted Bundy was polite, he murdered over 40 women that we know of…
Why should they get to jump the fence and get freebies when we did it right?
We escaped from state sponsored murder for treason simply for leaving. Not because crime rate was high or some shit like that.
I will make a deal, you don’t pass judgements on Christians and I won’t make sweeping generalizations on atheists. It’s not like your tribe has no blood on its hands.
And don’t pretend you don’t know what a Christian is supposed to be. Since you are not one, you plain don’t know. Christianity isn’t and never was ribbons, roses and unicorn farts.
I was simply pointing out what I saw as hypocrisy. You ran from an awful situation and now it seems you want to make it impossible for anyone else to do the same.
You can make sweeping generalizations against atheists all you want. I was raised Methodist and pretty much didn’t miss a service until I was 20 years old. If Trumps a Christian I don’t see how anyone could ever want to be one. And your Christian brethren like Sloth feel the same way I do. Maybe your faith needs evaluating on what you’re willing to accept from your leaders?
