Why do you think it will last 10 days?
You realize that atheism isn't just about not believing in the Christian god, right?
The reasons why atheists don't believe in gods would make it extremely unlikely they would believe in Satan.
"Satanic atheists" doesn't make much sense when you think about it.
Atheists don't typically believe in Satan. I'm sure there's the odd weirdo out there who believes Satan exists, but doesn't believe in God or other gods.
But, yeah, atheists really don't believe in Satan.
"Not supposed to" =/= "not done"
It's hysterically funny how people suddenly have so much faith in government employees following rules/not being generally retarded.
😂😂😂
Because sitting around just nodding my head and agreeing with people is boring as hell.
I like to challenge ideas. I like to try to get people see my point of view. And you've conveniently ignored my posts where I'm just having plain old nice conversations.
I also don't want this place to devolve into another idiot board full of the stereotypes that libs and normies already believe us to be.
There's no reason to just hand them ammunition against us.
But look at you, deflecting from the actual topic. Ignoring the big issues in favor of scouring through my posts in order to do...something. cast doubt on my character or whatever it is you're trying to do.
How bout you address some of the things I said in that last post. Maybe the being a hypocrite part? Yeah, let's talk about that.
Or would you rather talk about how what you're really upset about is that the Jewish community just look after one another in a way that the Christian community doesn't? And that hurts your feelies. 🥺
Then obviously you don't go to the churches that might give their parishioners loans. 🤷♀️ Just because you don't see them making it public knowledge doesn't mean it doesn't happen. After all, you're insisting that some shadowy Jewish group does the same thing yet you can't produce any sort of evidence that it's public knowledge that they're doing it.
Amazing how when it's Christians doing it, you're doubting it because it's not public knowledge. Yet when it's Jewish people supposedly doing it, the lack of it being public knowledge just makes you think it's some nefarious plot to take over the world. Isn't that interesting?
You know what the word is for people who have such huge double standards? It's "hypocrite".
Unless it's illegal somehow for wealthy people or institutions to give interest free loans to others, (and as far as I can tell, it's not. There are usury laws for maximum interest rates, but none for minimum interest rates), what is the real problem you have with it?
Are you just angry that Jewish people are dedicated to helping their community because you don't see Christians doing the same for the Christian community?
Nothing is stopping Christian billionaires and huge Mega Churches raking in billions of dollars from handing out interest free loans to people of their choosing.
Looks like you might be angry and bitter towards the wrong people.
Honestly, if you heard that President Trump was using his billions of dollars to give interest free loans to others, would you be insisting it's some evil plot to take over the world, or would you be praising him for being a generous, good hearted Christian?
Be honest with yourself. If you substitute Jews with Christians in your complaints, would you still have a problem with it?
I don't think you understand what I'm asking.
I'm not asking for examples of Christianity throughout the country.
I'm asking, practically speaking, what does it matter if we are or if we aren't.
What is the result of being a Christian country? What does it change?
Again, I'm not asking for evidence of Christianity in the country. I want to know what the benefits of being a Christian in the US is.
I've got a question that I would honestly appreciate someone helping me with in understanding something.
When someone says that the US is a Christian country, what exactly does that mean to them?
Do they believe that only Christians should be allowed to live here?
Or that only Christians should be able to be citizens?
Does it mean that Christians should/do get preferential treatment by the courts and government?
Does it mean that the default social setting and culture should be Christian?
I would really like to hear what people think it means when the US is called a Christian country.
I understand that our early settlers and Founding Fathers were predominantly of Christian backgrounds and people believe that the US was founded on "Christian principles", but when I ask them which of those principles are unique to Christianity, I never get an answer to that.
What people call the "Christian principles" the US was founded on is found across time and all over the globe. Much of it comes from the Code of Hammurabi, which predates the Holy Bible.
So if anyone would be kind enough to try to answer some of these questions, I would truly be grateful.
Oh. The way people were acting, I thought he must be someone important.
People are way too impressed with people being a judge.
Seems needlessly complicated...
Also, I'm pretty sure string theory isn't involved here like you seem to think it is.
It's like you heard that the fundamental particles of the Universe are vibrating patterns and then just shoehorned in these other ideas.
I suppose we could all just come up with some kooky ideas on how to answer those uncomfortable questions concerning God and religion, especially if they don't have to obey any sort of standards of logic or facts.
Handy!
Me either. Not even a little.
Who is Judge Juan Cano? Is that a name we're supposed to know?
How does free will and an omniscient, and omnipotent God coexist?
If God is all knowing, it means He knows everything that will ever happen to us. If He already knows it, it's already been decided. If it's already been decided, then the only being that could have made those decisions is God.
I just don't see how free will and an all knowing, all powerful God can coexist.
I'm surviving pretty damn well, actually, thanks. All due to using my brain.
Ah, yes. ‘Just listening to his gut.’ Because, as we all know, gut feelings are never, ever wrong. Why bother with evidence or logic when your ‘instincts’ can just fill in the blanks for you? Who needs facts when vibes will do?
It’s funny, though — when people’s gut feelings consistently align with ancient conspiracy theories about Jewish people secretly controlling financial systems… at some point, it’s not really instinct anymore. It’s just recycling old prejudice and giving it a fresh coat of ‘I’m just asking questions’ paint.
And sure, we all have biases — absolutely true. But not all biases are created equal. Some biases make you prefer Coke over Pepsi. Other biases get people rounded up and murdered. So yeah, I’m going to keep calling out the ones that fall into the second category.
I get it, though — it’s way easier to wave it all away as ‘well, everyone’s biased!’ That way, nobody has to actually reflect on what they’re saying, or why certain patterns of suspicion always seem to land on the same groups of people over and over again throughout history. Convenient, right?
But hey, I’m sure if "What Me Worry" were suspicious of his neighbors because they were, I don’t know, Methodists, we’d all be having this same conversation about how important it is to ‘trust your gut.’ Oh, wait… no, we wouldn’t. Funny how that works.
So no, I’m not going to pretend this is just innocent curiosity or harmless instinct. Sometimes your gut is just full of bad takes.
That's a lot of words to use to basically say very little.
I'm not offended. I'm confused. When people do things that make absolutely no sense, it makes me want to know why.
I flat out ask people why they think/believe/say the things they do. Much of the time, they can't even give an answer. It's like they don't even know why they think/believe/say the things they do. They're just stumbling through life, reacting to things with zero thought or contemplation as to why they think the way they do.
I think that should be concerning to everyone. People should know why they believe the things they do. They should think about what they believe and why they believe it. Because people that don't understand why they believe as they do are simply just brainless puppets waiting for anyone to come by and control their strings.
There's a huge difference between instincts and prejudices. What I'm seeing here is prejudice.
Uh huh. You're also ignoring how so many churches will sometimes give their parishioners interest free loans.
If you have any sort of evidence to show that this grand scheme is at all real, then I would love to know.
If you think your neighbor is part of this evil scheme to slowly take over the world using their methods of infiltration...why are you friends with them?
You think they're part of this dark conspiracy to "take over the world", but you don't want to upset them by calling them on it? Wouldn't that make you an accomplice? Or a coward? You're faced with part of the dark, evil cabal, but you don't want to hurt their feelings by calling them on being part of such an evil plot?
Where are you getting that definition? Because it should be telling you that "high treason" isn't a legal term in the US.
It's just a term people use to signify how badly they think the treason is.
It's not an actual legal thing in the US.
So, it's been a few weeks now.
Who was arrested?
Yeah, people like saying "high treason". But they typically have zero idea as to what that term means.
But it sure does sound impressive, doesn't it?
So you're giving them the benefit of the doubt now, when a couple of hours ago you were saying how suspicious it was that they were able to do all the things they're doing? What's changed in the past two hours?
Maybe if things are as tough as you're claiming, you might look into getting a better job, or maybe taking some of that time devoted to Q research, and finding a part time job that pays you something.
I mean, after, what, 8 years is it? How much more is there to be researched? What are you discovering that hasn't already been known, for years?
Obviously it bothers you that you can't take your family on trips and vacations or spend money on things like a newer car or eating out. People don't compare their lives to others as much as you have if they're content with what they have.
What is your opinion on all those unfair loan practices I shared with you? Are we just ignoring that?
🙄
Dude is 94 years old, ffs, but it's got to be some huge conspiracy that he's retiring.
