Comments by "whyamimrpink78" (@whyamimrpink78) on "Trans Pastor Starts A Church In The South" video.

This shows how myopic he is and how much of an elitist he is. Religion has a place in society and helps people. It isn't for everyone, but it is for some.

@Xavio354 , and that isn't an argument. So if he wants to be that shallow than he can. I just won't respect it.
11
@libidinistlyn , I feel the same way about Christians calling other religions dumb. The fact is that it is a poor argument and shows he has no desire to understand those people's position.
11
@libidinistlyn , he may feel it is silly but he can't say it is dumb. He doesn't understand the position those people are in so he can't judge.

@reddymon , never said that. Kyle refuses to try to understand their position. That makes him myopic and elitist. You don't have to believe, but you should try to understand other people's position. Saying someone's belief is "dumb" makes him myopic and elitist.

@libidinistlyn , religion is about faith. You don't need proof.

@Dav , a lot of bigotry happened without religion. Look at communist nations for example. You blame the individual. With or without religion the individual will be filled with hate in some way. And yes, science and religion are two completely different things. As someone who studies science for a living it annoys me when someone tries to use science to squash religion. That isn't the goal of science. Science and religion can coexist. Those who use science to squash religion are very ignorant to me. Science is about doubt, religion is about faith. Religion doesn't require a method nor evidence as it is faith based. Science is driven on doubt. It won't have all the answers and never will.

Saying that something is dumb is not an argument.

@libidinistlyn , religion is based on faith. In some cases that is necessary for some people. Not everything has to be based on logic. In most political issues, especially economic ones, the political left bases their ideas on emotions as opposed to logic.

@elizabethsmusicandarts1590 , I agree religion isn't for everyone, but calling it dumb is being myopic.

@libidinistlyn , easy, healthcare for example. The left brings up the points of people going bankrupt or people dying which are all emotionally filled arguments. When you press the left on healthcare they point to that. Listen to people like AOC, Bernie, or even Kyle. Kyle brings up the 45,000 deaths a year number and then goes on an emotional rant. But a logical argument using that number is this. Those 45,000 are poor and bad health is associated with being poor. Those in poverty have higher rates of obesity, type II diabetes and smoking, all self inflicted. So as Prof. Katherine Baicker said do they die due to lack of healthcare or due to being in bad health to begin with? As outlined in one of her studies even when given access to care their physical health did not improve due to poor life style choices https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1212321 Also, if you read the book "Being Mortal" the author there talks about how people point to modern medicine to live another 5 or 10 years when in reality they may live another 5 or 10 months. So if those 45,000 receive care but live only 5 more months taking up resources, is that a success? The emotional filled argument is that those 45,000 are people and we should find a way to get them care. You disregard resources, their lifestyle, survival rates, you just want them to get care and live. A factual and logical argument is that resources are limited. Something has to give. They are in bad shape because of poor lifestyle choices. Also, even with care is it worth it? There is a need for both sides, and this is where we need to come together and meet in the middle. Facts and logic are needed, but we are human and thus have emotions. But going far left, like people like Bernie and Kyle screaming "living wage" and calling healthcare a right is not the solution. You can define healthcare as a right but it doesn't change how people behave. It doesn't change the fact that resources are limited. You have to accept reality and use logic. That is one of many examples I can give.

@beaverones41 , again, science and religion are two completely separate things. One can see evolution as a process and still be religious. Those who try to use science to squash religion are very ignorant on science and what science is all about. Science is there to explain natural occurrences and possibly predict something through a model. Basically, it sees and models trends. That's it. It doesn't give some grand answer in life.
3
@beaverones41 , does science explain morals or emotions? Maybe, maybe not. I am not saying that religion gives a grand answer in life, but neither does science. Science just develops models. There are many things that science will never explain nor answer. People point to religion for whatever reasons. Others don't need it. I can see why. But science is not the replacement for religion. And no, not every claim requires evidence. Religion is about faith and that is all people really need. Consider two people in love, what evidence is there? A lot of times it is just a feeling. Also, as for my belief in climate change, I don't believe in anything. Two words, in my opinion, are not associated with science. They are proof and believe. Science does not prove anything and a belief is associated with faith. On climate change I said many times that man plays a role, just how much is the question. And I don't consider it a major threat where we have to completely transform our economy and way of life. You calling me an idiot shows you don't have a counter argument.
3
@beaverones41 , you know how to argue? Really?
3
@beaverones41 , you know you can support the theory of evolution and still be religious.
3
@BH-fi1sb , who is the weak one? The religious person or you who berates them?
3
@PittsburghSonido , I don't respect many of Kyle's opinions because he does not considering the other side of the argument. He just dismisses the other side.
2
@libidinistlyn , finding it dumb, to me, is shallow. You don't understand their position.
2
@libidinistlyn , they are and I can give many examples. Not saying it is wrong, we are human and emotions play a role. But when you go to the core the political left bases their ideas on emotions and the right bases their ideas in facts and logic.
2
@culleng4534 , how am I triggered? I am not even religious.
2
@PittsburghSonido , i accept M4A could be a solution, the issue is that you need to see the whole picture. Kyle and his fans feel M4A is the solution and there is no argument against it. Right away I present arguments against it.
2
@jeremiahbarnes6313 , on wars how are they unconstitutional? Also, on foreign affairs I don't comment much I don't look into them much. I am wiling to not give opinions on items I know little about.
2
@jeremiahbarnes6313 , I told you, I don't read up on foreign affairs so I don't make a comment.
2
@anticorncob6 , because it is a radical solution for the time being. I can see it being establish at the state level and it growing from there. But completely dismantling our system now and replacing it will lead to a major recession.
2
@AdamRaia , you are cherry picking at that point. Many people are religious and don't judge.
2
@saskk2290 , I never said I was against emotional reasoning. I said we need emotions, we just can't go too far with it. Also, my lord and saviour? I am not even religious. And a lot of our population is not healthy due to poor lifestyles. Even when given access to healthcare people's physical health did not improve. And I am also not a right winger, i am a moderate.
2
@Dav , blaming religion for bigotry is shallow. You need to blame the individual, not religion. Also, science and religion are two different things, they can't be compared.
2
@295Phoenix , you laughing means you have no counter argument.
2
Daftrax 98 , that is different as the earth not being flat is known through science and the scientific method.
2
@gerholdegdseffecaddy7092 , Kyle and his fans are far leftists. This is how far leftists, and really any radical (including those on the far right) act. They refuse to accept other people's position so they just call it stupid. That is the level of intelligence they have.
2
@beaverones41 , making religious schools illegal is fascism. Also, private catholic schools typically have the best education available.
2
@johnbilljapaneselove , so you look down on people with mental illnesses? How "liberal" of you.
2
Kyle saying religion is dumb shows how myopic he is. Religion has a purpose in society. It isn't for everyone but for many people it does help them out.
1
@ericnick4498 , what?
1
Doubt it. People most likely don't care. The only people who care are the far left.
1
@Christopher , true. That will most likely happen creating a hoax hate.
1
@ZombieTumors , the issue isn't that it happens once, it happens often. Ever watch Matt Christiansen? He talks about a lot of hoax hate. We have progressed to the point that the left has to create these hate crimes to push an agenda.
1
Kylem , antifa is present and have been very vocal. They are dying off because people are starting to realize that Trump and republicans are not fascists.
1
@Christopher , the best was all the celebrities and politicians siding with him and calling anyone questioning Jussie racists. And when the facts came out they were all silent. Ellen Page was great, crying on TV.
1
@christopherjustice6411 , culture wars do exist. People just express them in safe spaces. I hear people constantly cry racism and play identity politics. Now I live near California so that plays a role. But it does exist.
1
@christopherjustice6411 , sure, but when someone opposes your ideas on "affordable healthcare" you cry that you want people to die. Look at Bernie and how he acts. The far left shuts down the conversation even before it starts. That is a problem.
1
Kylem , I agree they are dying off, but they were a problem after Trump was elected. Also, the economy is growing under Trump and the republicans. And how are they destroying the planet?
1
@christopherjustice6411 , and there you go. That is a shallow argument. You are ignoring so many variables in those nations. Saying other nations do it is not a solid argument. There is the main issue of culture. You also have to consider quality, progress, etc. I am all for talking things out but you can't just point to other nations and immediately say "mimic them" as you have to consider a plethora of factors. What works there might not work here.
1
@christopherjustice6411 , there is a desire to look at other nations, but, to me, the farther you dig in the issue the less you look at other nations and the more you just consider the situation in the US.
1
Kylem , antifa was a problem. What bubble? I keep hearing this but don't see it. You can only cry it for so long. The economy is improving for most. Who it isn't improving for are those who simply refuse to work. Ignoring climate change how? There is a lot of doubt in climate change. I suggest you read the book entitled "Why We Disagree About Climate Change" by prof. Mike Hulme.
1
@christopherjustice6411 , sure, Trump is a politician. What's your point? Every politician talks like that.
1
Kylem , your anecdotal situation does not represent the norm. Wages are going up. The economy is doing much better. Yes, climate change is happening. The issues are one, how much does man play a role? Two, is it even a threat? And three, what is the solution? Again, read that book I recommended. That guy worked for the IPCC.
1
Kylem , what studies? Yes, we shouldn't be alarmist. I agree with that.
1
Georgy Zhukov , many times. When pushed he resorts to his appeal to emotion talking points. He has no specifics or details in his plans.
1
Kylem , ok, find them. China is leading in renewable because of less regulations. The same environmental regulations in place hinder production of green energy. For example, in mining of f-elements they are used to produce solar cells. In China there little mining regulations thus they can open it up and mine them. They have cornered the market. In the US it takes years to open a mind and it is expensive thus we are lagging. Our regulations are hurting us. The Climate Accord was a mess. It wasn't binding. No one had to follow it. It would have ended up like Nato where we spend money and no one else did. What worse effects? There are you being an alarmist.
1
Kylem , wage stagnation is arguably a myth. If you use CPI inflation than you have it. But if you use other inflation methods you don't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6FmhXQ32Wo&t=162s https://www.nber.org/feldstein/WAGESandPRODUCTIVITY.meetings2008.pdf https://www.dartmouth.edu/~bsacerdo/Sacerdote%2050%20Years%20of%20Growth%20in%20American%20Wages%20Income%20and%20Consumption%20May%202017.pdf On climate change, again, we don't know if it is a threat. You feel it is. So with that what is your solution? As for droughts, the rate of droughts has hardly changed in over 60 years https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11575 When every major storm is blamed on climate change it is hard to buy into the fact that climate change is a problem. You are looking at crazy weather when weather is not climate. We had a lot of snow in my part of the country this past year. Is that due to climate change?
1
Who cares?
1
@jeremiahbarnes6313 , science and religion are two completely different things. Compare science and religion is like comparing a Mack truck to an ice cream cone.
1
@PittsburghSonido , I don't dismiss the opinion, I give counter arguments.
1
@Dav , you have a choice to be religious. In communism you are forced at gun point to do something. There is a difference there. Also, you can be a bigot without religion. There may be other motives such as power, money, etc. But to say religion does things by force is simply not true, at least in Christianity. Other religions maybe, but they are the minority.
1
@Dav , science does not squash religion as they are two completely separate things. What you are pointing at are stories in the bible. When it was written the concept of time was not well known. Creating the earth in 6 days is more or less a metaphor. Science is driven on doubt, religion is driven on faith. They are completely different. Those who say science is there to squash or counter religion are ignorant on both topics. Science, in the end, develops models. That's it. It develop models. It doesn't involve belief and it doesn't involve proof.
1
@Dav , Trump is a moderate. The problem is that many people in this nation have gone so far left they don't realize that. Trump is a moderate and his actions show that.
1
@Dav , Trump being a moderate is what really angers people. He is actually forcing people to work such as Congress and states. The only people who are really angered are far left states and the people there which is why the media is so opposed to Trump. I had my doubts about Trump at the beginning but he is showing more and more that he is a moderate. It has gone to the point that the LGBTWWFXXX+ group are mad at him for not flying the rainbow flag at embassies this month. The moderate approach is not to fly it and just fly the American flag as it represents everyone. It doesn't discriminate. That, and many other examples can be given shows how far left people have become in this nation.
