    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    Translation of this comment appears to be: "Yes. The ends do justify the means." I can't jump on board with that sentiment. Additionally, Trump has lost Republicans the presidency for this generation through his abysmal performance, so I guess we'll be waiting for another generation for a better...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    So you're saying you reject the premise of my argument. Here's why I believe these things: Trump said he downplayed it: Timeline: How Trump Has Downplayed The Coronavirus Pandemic If you're saying Wednesday's insurrection is a myth, I wholeheartedly disagree. Here's one of many examples of...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    Would you say insurrection and the downplaying of the impact of COVID-19 resulting in numerous lives needlessly lost were worth those things? Would you say tying yourself to a candidate who is blatantly racist is worth those things? Is the only way to obtain those things through support of...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    Is Trump really an improvement over Clinton? It seems like a case of choosing the worst of two options. Clinton definitely has issues, but I don't think we'd be talking about insurrection right now if she was president. It would be one thing if we were seeing large numbers of Christians not...

    Is trump representing the Christian vote pushing Americans away from the church?

    Article: 2020 Faith Vote Reflects 2016 Patterns I read this article, thought it had some interesting bits, so I thought I'd share. Here's some highlights: "A notable fact in 2016 was that exit polls showed about 80% of white evangelical Christians supported Trump..." "I think the Democrats...

    Will there be any Covid 19 economic relief?

    The other day, Trump vowed he'd make permanent cuts to payroll taxes if reelected. The concern of this action is that it will end Social Security and Medicare since 90% of the funding for those programs is through payroll tax. Did Trump Vow to 'Terminate' Social Security? I've waited a few...

    Spouse Considering Abortion

    It doesn't sound like her decision is entirely based on fear. From what you describe, it sounds like there are valid concerns about this pregnancy. Is there anything you can do to address those concerns? Has she talked with a doctor about her medications? Maybe there's something else she can...

    Confused :/

    By listening to the other side of the conversation, you're forced to analyze not only what you believe, but why you believe it. It also give you an idea how other people view the world, giving you more understanding on how to relate to them. All of these things are important in developing...

    Confused :/

    Wondering "what if" about evolution is perfectly healthy. Try not to think about it as being forced to learn about it, think of it as an opportunity. You can learn a lot from the other side of the conversation, even if you disagree. God isn't going to punish you for asking questions and seeking...

    Confused :/

    Can you give an example of a specific doubt you have? I ask, because sometimes people mistake questioning something as a damnable offense. It's not. In fact, if you're not questioning your faith and seeking answers, you're probably not growing as a person. That voice of doubt might not be the...

    Covid Utility Shut-offs

    I'm sure there's many examples of people protesting without masks. There's also many examples of protesters with masks, like this for example: (Watch the video in this article, looks like mostly everyone is wearing masks) A ‘Wall of Vets’ Joins the Front Lines of Portland Protests I still...

    Covid Utility Shut-offs

    I feel like shutting off utilities is being lenient, given they're creating a public health risk. Not only that, the danger these influencers are creating is completely frivolous. These are full blown, crowded, insane house parties in a state where the virus is a big problem. If LA relapses...

    I don't know if you realize this, but you can file a lawsuit against anyone for anything given you have the money and the lawyers to do so. That doesn't mean you'll win in court, the lawsuit may even be thrown out as frivolous, but sometimes winning isn't the point. I'd like to point out a few...

    That is not a medical organization. It's a political advocacy group. They peddle all kinds of debunked conspiracy theories, like vaccines causing autism for example. Association of American Physicians and Surgeons - Wikipedia

    Dunno. I asked to see them, and you haven't shared them yet. So you don't contest that she indeed said those things? You just agreed she said those things in church services, but here's some quotes: The conspiracist doctor Trump calls 'impressive' "Five years ago, she alleged that alien...

    First, you said I was misrepresenting Immanuel by describing some of her other beliefs. I'd like to know how I'm misrepresenting her. Now, if I find her beliefs in alien DNA and succubuses farfetched, why would I trust her statistics? Should I pick up a Harry Potter book and start combing...

    Are you saying you believe "Alien DNA is used in medical treatments, and gynecological problems such as cysts are the result of people having intercourse in their dreams with demons and witches"? You believe that?

    lol I meant "take for granted". However, lasagna does sound good right about now. That is indeed how this works. Very simple.
