Don't forget the giant meteor.
And the Aliens! That don't want to talk to us yet apparently because we just aren't ready yet...Or well they don't think we are "united" enough yet for them..

I think they're waiting for us to die out from our own misdeeds.

It's what I would do.

What you imagine the church to be is not God's point of view.
Are you claiming to understand the point of view of an all knowing all powerful deity?


Too much that calls itself Christian is fake. The real church is merged in with the fake for the moment and has been for way too long. That will change.

Right right. The church has great power and wisdom but has been stuck with the "fake" church for 2000 years.

I have been listening to Obama's book. During the 2008 campaign, he talks about a minister who gave a sermon about good crazy and bad crazy. John Lewis was good crazy. We have been living with bad crazy for four years.

And bad crazy willcontinue to try to thwart us at every turn over the next four years. Even if Trump dies, the crazy will continue--but it will be significantly weakened. He is old, Type A personality, anger management problems, obvious mental deterioration.

But all we can do is pray that sanity will prevail. While it would certainly be easier if Trump were sidelined by disability, we also need to try to replace the bad crazy in people's heads with good crazy.

People were predicting the "end of the world" probably even before Jesus came along. Christianity gave them an organization that allowed them to make their claims with supposed authority.

Humanity is not united. We're not even united in our own country.

I think they're waiting for us to die out from our own misdeeds.

It's what I would do.

Honestly, your assumption could be a possibility. No one knows for certain at this time. It could be true considering the fact that humanity is still relatively primitive in many ways. Human beings are still heavily divided by derisive politics, religion, sexism, racism, bigotry, and xenophobia. That being said, I think a disclosure is imminent and could happen before long. Of course, I'm only speculating and I base my presumption on the unprecedented release of 'unidentified aerial phenomena' by the Pentagon, which was verified by the Department of Defense. In addition to this release, there's also the former Israeli space security chief's public disclosure, countless released videos of unexplained aerial phenomenon, and the eyewitness accounts from astronauts, military pilots and airline pilots.

I see the coming of the aliens as bright days, not dark.

I agree. I'm actually looking forward to a possible disclosure because I want to know the truth.

Really there is no difference (small, personality differences) between the two ruling parties. They both are on the path to the ruin of America

You do understand the "the Pentagon" is just an informal way to say "the US Deperatment of Defense", so the DoD can't "confirm" a Pentagon release, right?

Oh, and Libertarians got the answer. How come almost nobody votes for them?

A lot of big money can by many votes, and the democrats and republicans have perfected that method.
Politics is a battle of ideas and ideals. The Libertarians don’t have enough of either.

Yeah. No. Secular reasons. I do not care to discuss what you believe about your religious writings. Let's discuss why I should agree with your positions.
The bible has alot to do with politics. I believe you will find truth in the bible, not on CNN or Fox

But if you dont believe the bible to be true, then we wont see eye to eye and there is no reason why it needs to be personal. I prefer to kindly agree to disagree

Which isn't here nor there when it comes to implementing religiously based law in a secular republic that does not allow for that.

Certainly there is a lot of "bible" in politics. (Way too much for my tastes, but it is definitely there.)

But, if I want information about current politics I'll go to CNN or Fox as both have actual current information. The bible has none of it. Please find me a bible passage that talks about democrats or republicans or elections or electoral votes or congress or covid or the federal reserve or the united states or any living politician.

You must be unfamiliar with Two Corinthians....

Which is certainly fine. I just note this is the discussion and debate section. For myself to be convinced of your point of view I need reasons I see as valid to consider it. While there is much to admire in the bible I do not see it as an instruction book but a learning tool with lessons that can be discussed via our reason. Simply claiming "God said" is a shortcut from reason and offers nothing more then a single persons opinion.
