Itll take me a few days but I will provide it. Kat Kerr has said it many times (quoting God the Father as comparing Trump's personality to David)

You mentioned 'quoting God'. As far as I am aware, the only quotes we might consider came from God are in the bible. If you meant that someone else believed that He said it then please correct your statement. Otherwise, I'm really not interested.

You kind of contradict yourself? The bible describes prophets as speaking for God, so it may be that you should consider them (with care obviously that they are not false)

Hey. Just to let you know. I've lost interest. Thanks for your input.

We can talk about kids if you like. As traumatizing and morally repugnant is the intentional shooting of a child, let's see how children fare in general. From here: The First Measured Century: Timeline: Data - Mortality.

By the early decades of the 1900s, a wide range of improvements begin the drive the infant mortality rate down. Central heating meant that infants were no longer were exposed to icy drafts for hours. Clean drinking water eliminated a common path of infection. More food meant healthier infants and mothers. Better hygiene eliminated another path of infection. Cheaper clothing meant better clothing on infants. More babies were born in hospitals, which were suddenly being cleaned up as the infectious nature of dirt became clear. Later in the century, antibiotics and vaccinations join the battle.

The infant mortality rate started a long slide from 165 per 1,000 in 1900 to 7 per 1,000 in 1997.

The health of older children also improved. Diseases that had carried off thousands of children in 1900 were practically eliminated by 2000: diphtheria, and pertussis, measles.


So when would you prefer to bring up a child? The begining of the 20th century or the end? I've got a very old family bible upstairs and names in it going back to my great great grandmother's time. A list of all the births and deaths from her time onwards. And right up to the early 20th century there were generally a minimum of six children in each generation. With their date of birth. And invariably 3 or 4 dates added too soon afterwards when they died before the age of 5.

And for people in general?

For white women, life expectancy at birth rose from 51 years in 1900 to 80 years in 1996. For white men, life expectancy at birth rose from 48 years in 1900 to 74 years in 1996.

I see you missed my very first sentence.. quote: Many things are better, especially for those in poverty."

However, if my choice is between a higher infant mortality rate versus a generation of sociopaths who can't figure out what biological sex they are and who also think mass murder is a fun past time - I'll take the higher infant mortality rate, thanks.

Just for fun:

Same answer, why dont you ask The Holy Spirit to reveal if what I said is true?

I do not agree with your logic either? Does God have anything like a 'broken spirit? Cos David was a man after Gods own heart too?
Does like mean identical experiences? Nah
The quote is from more than one of the modern day prophets btw.
Sadly, those using Trump for political power don't seem to care enough about him to help him learn the essence of the gospel in a way that leads to real humbleness (like David had), and repentance (like David had). This might be (possibly) because his religious contacts themselves do not know the Gospel or God, or that Trump just never heard or believed the gospel: that one has to admit they are a sinner and turn to Christ in faith for the remission of their sins.

Christ said that without being humble a person cannot enter heaven.

Lets focus on Kat Kerr, the argument will be about her validity or not, so firstly i say that The Holy Spirit/God the Father will give some a gift of prophecy Rom 12:6. Also we should respect them Mat 10:41. So prophets did and will exist.
So, name one for me.

A trinity of the nuttiest nutters out there. Laughably non-credible persons they are.

They made a load of money off him which they then lost in the court cases that followed. His notoriety and out outspokenness were entertaining to watch and Fox did not care about the truth. But now Fox is both broke, boring and with an established reputation for prioritizing entertainment over truth.
Don't worry, Fox isn't broke and will continue on without Carlson. It's still the most watched news source in America. The thing is Carlson was right about more things than he was wrong. Way more things. That's why the left hated him so much b cause he exposed them. Same thing for any more right leaning personality. The left just foams at the mouth when their ideology and actions are exposed and laid bare.

No one is right all the time. If they were they'd be Christ.

Fox will be fine IF they can figure out a way to keep lying to an audience that demands lies.

They had a real scare when they denied their viewers a nice fat lie about AZ returns in the 2020 election. That must have been a painful moment for their audience. Who wants to tune in for loss and pain?

I think you would have figured that out with all the lying left wing media. Fox is the balance for that.

You stated Fox News is the most watched news source in America

...in a thread about Tucker Carlson - a man who played on people's fears of "them" and demonizing fellow citizens. This isn't about "left" or "right". It's about common decency in our political discourse. Carlson and Fox could care less while they make billions...

That's barely credible. And it doesn't reflect well on you that you'd prefer an infant mortality rate to be 25 times larger rather than have a tiny proportion of people receive help for the problems they have with gender. And then to call them sociopaths? That would, in passing, include my niece. Forum rules prevent me from telling you exactly how I feel about that atrocious remark.

I would never even have thought to accuse someone of something so heinous. It could never entered to my head to say something as monstrous as that. That you willingly admit it yourself is...stunning.

It seems to me people prefer to play God instead of allowing nature to take it's course.

Your here talking about infant mortality rates, yet support the murder of the unborn.

What's better, random chance (since your an atheist yes?) whether you're child survives or just murder the 5 you don't think you want?

Any society is better off when murdering children is not the norm. Because then murder is not that big of a deal. When you can kill that which should be the most precious to you, anything goes.

What I said is simply not that heinous. Our values are as screwed up as it gets, when my saying I'd rather go back to a higher infant mortality rate if that's my ONLY choice is considered heinous to people who think it's their right to kill their own children.

You don't have a choice. But you have said you'd prefer it. And it's quite simply a horrendous thing to say.

I noticed you sniped out "to people who think it's their right to kill their own children". People saying "it's my right to kill my child" is a more horrendous thing to say. But goodless society is too lost in sin to admit that.

You need to read posts with more care. The bit snipped was from the original post which was criticised and read 'and who also think mass murder is a fun past time'. Which was in reference to shootings. That it was a truly horrendous thing to to say stands. The reference to abortion in a subsequent post was made in an effort to reduce the inhumanity of the first. And failed spectacularly.

But they've now shown that they're vulnerable to lawsuits from the people they're lying about. That makes life a lot harder for them.

If they can do it with nudges and winks rather than leaving a huge digital evidence trail theyll be good.

I think Trump is a Christian.As for humility, I take your point to a degree but Christians do not ALWAYS have to be shrinking violets. You could not be an effective leader and be tiptoeing through the tulips/
I think you are wrong about those Christians around him.
Anyway didnt trump say he was the most humble person on the world? :)

I think you would have said the same about John the Baptist
