Sounds very preachy to me.
Like it's your way or the highway.
Not very "freedom of choice."

Why do you care if someone else believes in god at all or some other religion?

I don't hear a lot of "proof" from your side. Just spouting that your viewpoint is true.

You say, "What's the foundation of knowledge that allows you to get that opinion?" I would say because there's never been proof that god exists.

your last sentence, that's not a foundation. that's an opinion you have. how do you determine anything. what is your objective, necessary foundation for truth, for knowledge except just what you decide in your own head? what is your opinion grounded in that's not arbitrary?

I'm also typically the kind of person who doesn't believe something until I see it for myself.

plus, joe biden is a catholic, a heretic, a tool of darkness. that's in direct opposition to god.

really, because god if the foundation of all knowledge, you can't come to any conclusions unless you start with god and work from there. if you do that, it will lead you to trump. the answers will be provided for you.

A CHEAP monthly condo rental in Toronto is north of $1,500.00. You want a decent place? $2,000.00 minimum.

Prices are crazy in the West (and possible in the East, too) right now...



Yeah, if the guy is a troll, whatever, but if not, I find it hilarious that there are actually morons out there that read the exact same text and teachings, yet, "we''re the bad ones!"

I also find it hilarious that he believes that someone elected by secular means, by many NON-Christians (how many is up for debate, of course), was, "chosen by God!" ala an Emperor in Medieval Times.

As I said in the Jan. 6th thread, the delusion (if legitimate) is literally unbelievable...

By means of interpretation, God generously affirms the proclamations of every believer -- even when in direct contradiction. 

Religion has always provided an extremely interesting, and often disturbing, window into the human mind.

Hence why the old requirements for this forum need to be enforced.  I think it was like 1000 rep and 1 year membership...which is a pain in the ass if you're gonna try to create a troll account....

There is a decent amount of fully brainwashed people out there who believe exactly what tiger blood was saying.

Why do you think trump started going after the religious crowd? Because he himself is religious? Or because they were an easy mark?

(06-21-2022, 04:57 PM)Lucidus Wrote: It's becoming more difficult to decipher which Republican takes are legitimately their own thoughts or just for the sake of trolling the opposition. The reason it has become more difficult is because of the likes of Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Lauren Bobert, Louie Gomert, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and many other of their ilk that are not just speaking for the very vocal and growing MAGA segment of the Replublican party, but are actually part of Congress.

The previous POTUS - the embodiment of lunacy, conspiracy theorist, pathological dishonesty and egomaniacal tendencies - is perhaps the epitome of trolling while also believing in the very idiocy that fuels said trolling. The perception of the Right is being perpetuated and re-enforced by the Right themselves. It's hard to say it's just a caricature when they are the ones painting the picture and insisting the picture is literally who they are and what they represent.

How hard would it be for me to make a second account and pretend Eli Apple is good for a couple months so I can come on this forum and just start acting like all the negative liberal stereotypes out there?

Nonetheless, now that Biden has been outed as a heretic, I'm definitely still not voting for him in the next election.  :)

I think the more sad/disgusting part is how many people have those socially-conservative viewpoints.
I can more understand (and even accept in some cases) financially-conservative viewpoints, but the socially-conservative viewpoints just blow my mind.
It's 2022, not 1952 (and it shouldn't have even been acceptable then).

A lack of shared reality is quite the hurdle.
