The richest states voted Democrat. The poorest states voted Republican.

I could ask you much the same.

Who said I wasn't interested? And why deflect the question?

 

[Under One King]

Interesting. Why?

Why what?

You can have evidence for anything. There are people who have "evidence" that Hitler was a good man. People have "evidence" that God is not real. People have "evidence" that marriage was not instituted by God, even though His Word says differently.

no, not really. you can't have actual evidence that purple unicorns live on Pluto for instance

 

[Quartermaine]

Lol... you a prophet now? If one is born gay, how can there be switching back and forth?

because people can lie and even lie to themselves. they can feel compelled to put on an act. Usually this is after they have been on the receiving end of years of horrific abuse. Their mental process is that maybe if they pretend to he heterosexual mom and will stop hurting them.

How can someone say they are bi? Apparently it's not so set in stone.

I'm not sure what you think bisexuality is but the reality is that bisexuality is the emotional and romantic attraction to both men and women.

No; you can't. People can fabricate evidence or misinterpret evidence. Or simply hope that one data point is enough to sway an argument. That's why evidence needs to be brought under scrutiny. That's why a scientific paper of two pages has sometimes thirty or fifty references to other papers. To give the opportunity to evaluate the quality of the evidence presented.

Of course it wouldn't be "real evidence", but someone can put forth "evidence" for anything.

Yes you can. Not necessarily real evidence, but someone can have "evidence" for anything.

Do you really want me to answer all that? Are you really seeking to know the truth?

Nope, don't really care if you answer any of it since I pretty much know what your answer is going to be anyways. It's the same one I've been getting from internet Chrisitians for the past 20 years on various forums:

There is only one "god".

The "god" I believe in is the only true "god".

Everyone else who DOESN'T believe in the "god" I believe in are wrong and doomed to eternal damnation.

Only the printed words of the Bible are "god's words".

The only evidence I need for the existence of my "god" is in the printed "words of god" in the Bible.

The men who wrote the Bible were inspired/possessed/moved by "god" to write what they wrote.

All those other men who SAID they were inspired/possessed/moved by "god" to write their gospels, but whose gospels didn't make it into the REAL Bible were either crazy or lying.

"God" speaks to me so I know what is true.

Other "gods" speaking to their devout followers is actually Satan talking to them.

Or, alternatively, other "gods" speaking to their devout followers is merely voices in their head and a sign of insanity.

But the voice I hear in my head is the true "god".

Etc.. etc., etc..

Did I miss anything?

As for wanting to know the truth? From you? I'd rather have a smoking slab of BBQ ribs, some seasoned french fries, a good side of cole slaw and maybe some Mexican corn on the cob.

Thank you for answering the question.

I'm going to pray for you.

Thank you.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I'm not. You're welcome.

 

[Arcangl86]

Why what?

Why do you consider regulations different then laws.

 

[Sparagmos]

How do you know those are His?

How does one know which gospels are the word of god, and which aren’t?

I thought the Democrats were the party of the poor, and the Republicans were the party of the rich.

No, it's the party of the uneducated. Poor people typically have less education and more fear so they are easily fooled into thinking their way of life is being threatened. Educated people make informed decisions based on facts. Poor people make rash decisions based on fear.

Sad but true. I know, I grew up poor and you wouldn't believe the kinds of conspiracy theories I've heard all my life coming from other poor people. I've even supported a few of my own that were based on nothing but speculation and guesswork.
