The following article on wikipedia states that: "By 11.00 a.m. The Ellipse was filled with a rally of Trump supporters, near the White House and at some distance from the Capitol. Coming from the White House Trump addressed the rally at The Ellipse, from 12 p.m. to 1.10 p.m., encouraging this crowd to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol. At the end of his speech, Trump returned to the White House while the crowd began their walk to the Capitol. Meanwhile, by 12.30 p.m. another crowd of Trump supporters had gathered outside the Capitol, clashing with the police and pushing forward to the building. The crowd walking up Pennsylvanis Avenue from The Ellipse arrived at the Capitol after the disturbances had begun.".
The author assumes that the crowd that started rioting at 12:30 pm. Yet; the first person indicted for the riot was a leftist BLM supporter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_storming_of_the_United_States_Capitol#Capitol_breach
When an individual incites a riot; the people are not prepared to set up a gallows for hanging. The riot was planned and given that it started a half hour after Trump began his speech; one can infer that the rioters expected the Presidents speech to end at 12:30 which is typical of the average speaker.
To claim that Trump incited the riot half way into his speech, while he was still speaking, when none of the individuals that were at the rally; proceeded to the capital building until after 1:10PM, a whole 40 minutes after the violence began, when Trump's speech is said to have ended; makes the allegation blatantly false, and no jury of twelve reasonable individuals would convict an accused for inciting a riot on such flimsy and nonsensical evidence.
There's another problem with the timing of events that occurred at the Capital:
Given the fact that the President was still speaking when the violence began at 12:30 PM; Why was the President not informed immediately that a riot had begun at the capital building?
The President could have immediately called in the National Guard or Military to deal with the rioters. He would not need Congress' OK.
Why was the President not informed of that a riot had begun at the Capital building when he was still speaking to those that attended the Save the vote rally?
One cannot incite a riot that has already begun!

"Why are people dying of dispair?"
Because as children, they are not taught that they are created in the image of God.
Genesis 1:26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
They are not taught that God so loved them; that He gave His only begotten; the Son. That whosoever believes in Him shall not parish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Rather than being taught that they were created for a purpose, to give God glory and honor.
PSALM 8
To the Chief Musician upon Git'-tith, A Psalm of David.
Psalms 8:1: O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2: Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3: When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5: For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6: Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8: The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9: O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Instead, they are taught the lie that they descended from apes, are just an accident and have no divine purpose.
This is why people are dying of despair.
despair
dɪsˈpɛə n. & v. --n. the complete loss or absence of hope. --v.intr. 1 (often foll. by of) lose or be without hope (despaired of ever seeing her again). 2 (foll. by of) lose hope about (his life is despaired of). øbe the despair of be the cause of despair by badness or unapproachable excellence (he's the despair of his parents). øødespairingly adv. [ME f. OF desespeir, desperer f. L desperare (as DE-, sperare hope)]

"I personally think a lot of the problem for people is employers unwilling to train. They expect you to already know everything about the job. Especially for “Entry level” positions that require years of experience"
Employers unwilling to train employees was going on back in 2004-2007 as well.
The only way to insure that an employee is qualified for a given job is for the employer to train that employee.
No educational institution can actually train students to such a degree, that they know every aspect of every job that exists in the real world.
Back in 2004-2007, employers habitually whined and nagged the government for more visa immigrants because there were no qualified Americans to do the job. When they did hire an immigrant, they typically had an American employee train that immigrant, and then, terminated the American employee after the immigrant was able to do the job. Basically, it comes down to American employers unlawfully discriminating against Americans.
I'm 62, will be 63 this May.
I have seen the misuse of "Entry level" my whole adult life.
Requiring an applicant to have 5 years experience, is not an entry level position.
The term Entry level, should be reserved for jobs where the applicant does not need experience.
There are also abuses with the use of "experience" as well:
1) If you have skills in a given area that you gained by doing something for yourself, employers will claim that presenting that work as experience to be a conflict of interest.
2) If you were not paid by an employer to do that work, it is not counted as experience.
As a result of these biases against people's real world experience, it is insanely difficult to break into a field and get the experience needed to get a job using the skills one has.
I remember working at a plant on the cleaning staff years ago and overheard a gal say that the way she got hired there is that she claimed to have worked for a company that is now out of business.
It's sad when a person finds it necessary to lie to an employer in order to get a job and survive.

@isecretlyvotedemocratbut2426
"what? It’s because of Netanyahu and his policies that hurt Palestinians and exclude them in many ways."
Palestinian policies is what both hurts and excludes palestinians.
They have been claiming their actions are the result of not having a state. What most people do not realize is that when Jews declared independence and established the Jewish state of Israel in 1948, the Arabs in palestine could have at that same time, established an Arab state.
Instead, those Arabs and the neighboring Arab nations; chose to go to war and destroy the fledgling State of Israel.
Thus, there will never be a state as a direct result of the the fact that the palestinians, which never had a state in the land to begin with, the land that is the historical home of the Jews, and the land of Israel in perpetuity; because those people choose war, the destruction of Israel and no State in the land, rather than peace.
The reason they don't want a state in the land, and especially a Jewish state of Israel; is because the State of Israel proves the Bible as a whole, to be true, and their Koran false, and that is simply unacceptable to them.

@ComradeJetski
"You do know that Israeli settlements evict indigenous people, right? i.e., the retaliation. Just think of Native Americans, and you might get it. "
In 136 AD, Emperor Hadrian, after expelling the majority of Jews from the land of Israel; decreed the name of the land to be "Seria-Palestinia". That over time was shortened to Palestine.
God's removal of the Jews from the land was for a limited time and in no uncertain terms did God intend that the Jews would remain out of the land permanently.
When Mark Twain toured the land in the late 1890's, he stated that the land was so barren that one could barely meet out a living. It was not until after 1897, when the Jews began returning to the land that the land began to be fruitful again.
The Jews would move to the land; pay exorbitant prices for worthless sand, and through hard work and technological know how; restore the land to fruitfulness and begin growing food. At that point, the Arabs that sold the Jews the land would accuse them of stealing the land.
During the British mandate, every charge of land theft against Jews was investigated by the British authorities, and every charge was determined to be false.
This brings us to the two problems with your assertion;
1) The Arabs claiming to be Palestinian are not necessarily indigenous people, they are mostly Arabs that immigrated to the area from foreign lands and expected to steel ownership of the land from the Jews after Israel was defeated in the wars of those time. Defeats that did not happen. They took a gamble and they lost.
As far as the evictions are concerned, those individuals that were evicted were evicted because they refused to pay rent to those that hold the legal title to the land and have held the legal titled to the land since the days of the Ottoman Empire.
No one was simply removed from the buildings. The eviction came after years of litigation in the courts and the squatters lost.
Here's an easy solution to prevent eviction; if you don't want to be evicted from what you consider to be your home; then pay the deed or title holders, the real owners of the land; rent.
2) God dispossessed native Americans from the land that is the United States of America in the same way that He dispossessed all the nations that dwelt in the land of Canaan prior to His giving that land to the Children of Israel (the Jews). It doesn't matter how many generations that an Arab clan has lived in the land of Israel prior to Israel's rebirth in 1948. The land belongs to the Jews by Covenant decree of God almighty in heaven. There is absolutely no way anyone can keep the entire land of Israel from being restored to the Jewish nation. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
It is your prerogative as a human with free will to oppose every good work that God almighty is doing in His intentional actions to restore the land of promise to those whom He promised the land. Just don't be surprised when the day comes and you find that you have been sentenced to an eternity of agonizing torment in the lake of fire.

" if one puts their faith in God and not man then it becomes VERY easy to discern truth."
I disagree.
I know plenty of people that put their faith in God or at least claim to, yet they are very poor at discerning truth. Even though the truth they are not discerning is clearly written in the scriptures.
In fact; many of those people think themselves more spiritual than me; yet, they had absolutely no problem standing by while I struggled to find a way out of the mess I was in during the great recession.
It is quite interesting how so many of them would tell me; "You're not supposed to count on man, you're supposed to trust God", yet Jesus Himself told us to make friends that have this world's good so that we can count on them to help us when we fail.
Luke 16:9: And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Ultimately, I ended up having to rely on the one thing they all told me I was not supposed to rely on; government assistance.
They all demanded that I have such faith that would cause God to rain manna down from heaven; yet not a single one of them that preached "God can do all things", had enough faith to provide me food on a daily basis so that I would not end up disabled and permanently on government aid.
Sometimes, the greatest miracle we will ever see is not Jesus feeding the 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes, or Jesus raising the dead. Sometimes the greatest miracle performed is when those that claim to love the Lord with all their heart, with all their mind and with all their soul; walk in simple loving obedience to the Lord's commandment to; "Love one another even as I have loved you".
Unfortunately, people do not think that obeying God's commandments is engaging in spiritual warfare. They only look to the super natural despite the fact that both the Old and New Testaments teach us that obedience to God's commandments, is the greatest weapon we can yield in when we engage in spiritual warfare.
2Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
John 15:4: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
John 15:7: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:10: If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
John 15:12: This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Additional verses
John 15:17: These things I command you, that ye love one another.
1John 3:18: My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1John 3:21: Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
1John 3:22: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1John 3:23: And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

"Since I live in the US, I'm free to call a scam a scam. "
I agree that Europe's defamation and liable laws are contrary to truth.
It is not defamation to call a liar a liar. Doing so is merely speaking the truth and speaking the truth cannot subject one to a lawsuit.
On the other hand, if one calls a liar, an honest upstanding trustworthy citizen, the one doing so is subject to defamation by virtue of the fact that calling a liar an upstanding trustworthy citizen, is in fact, bearing false witness against the liar.
To allow oppressive defamation laws to exist as does in Europe, is to subject the people to endless frauds and scams. In the US, such a law would be deemed unconstitutional as no one has a right to defraud others, and to sue a person for speaking the truth, is forcing them to speak lies. This not only violates the free speech clause of the 1st Amendment, it violates the free exercise of religion clause in the 1st Amendment.

"Try this:
- prove God wants to be worshiped"
It's human nature to worship a higher power.
This is proven by following;
1) People worshiped idols.
2) Today, people worship government.
3) Totalitarian regimes in which people worship government, the leader or leaders often require the people to worship them.
4) People worship the famous. Look at some of the screaming fans during beetle mania, or Michael Jackson. They are worship their idols.
Certainly, if the God created in us the desire to worship; one can conclude it is because He desires us to worship Him.
"- prove there is a heaven and hell, or any afterlife"
The only way to truly prove that is to kill you and then raise you from the dead.
"- prove the magic stories in the bible are true"
Archaeological finds in Israel have proven that the stories in the old testament are historical events. The fact that you refuse to believe that science indicates a lack of sincerity on your part.
"- of the thousands of religion that exist, prove which one is correct"
How about the religion in which ancient prophesies come to pass in our day.
Daniel 7:4: The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Look at the UN's November 9, 2021 post.
A new statue was erected at the UN.
Read the description of the first beast that Daniel saw in his vision, then go to the UN November 9, 2021 post at the link below.
A bit on the creepy side don't you think?
I mean, do they really think that statue is going to defend international peace?
https://twitter.com/un_photo/status/1458178013082816513
"- prove that god still exists"
Proving that God exists is more so dependent upon the person wanting the proof. Jesus Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, yet was rejected by the people of His day.
If you are unwilling to accept any evidence or argument that God exists, then no one can prove to you that God does indeed exist.
Many atheists have set out to prove God does not exist, and to prove that the Bible is a myth, yet, during the course of their research to prove that God does not exist, repented and became Christians.
Many Muslims in Islam controlled countries in the middle east have converted to Christianity as the result of a dream or a vision of Jesus Christ. Such conversions are illegal and put their safety and their life in jeopardy.
How about proving that the lake of fire exists?
There are two contenders.
1) The molten center of the earth.
2) The Sun.
Both are lakes of fire.
However, if it was the sun, it is likely the author would have mentioned the sun.
A lake of fire on the earth however, would only appear to be a lake of fire.
Revelation 19:20: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20:10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
"If you cannot prove any of that, then the issue of the existence of a god, or gods, is academic."
Two more points; who said it is on us to prove that God exists?
The overwhelming majority of the people on earth believe that there is a God.
This belief is the historical norm.
You are the accuser and that being the case; the burden is on you to prove that God does not exist. The thing about that is; you have a greater difficulty proving that God does not exist, than one who has experienced God first hand.
Again, the person demanding proof is in fact the problem, not that there has never been proof.
Those that receive legitimate, instant healing do not need any further proof than their restored health. This legitimate, instant healing is disregarded by those that demand proof God exists.
What of those that have seen visions and dreamed dreams?
What of someone like myself that has dreamed a dream that came to pass several months in the future after having forgotten the dream, yet was reminded of the dream when an individual made a statement that was made in the dream?
What of someone like myself that, being threatened by a charging dog, was saved by an invisible hand that struck the dog in the side?
The fact that you are unwilling to accept the living witnesses that God has placed in the earth shows a lack of sincerity on your part.
A sincere person would hear of these things and search them out to determine if those bearing witness were sincere in their witness. A sincere person would also look to see if there were any religious commonalities between the many experiences which would indicate an influence by the same God.
And if these things only happen to Christians; that leads you to Jesus Christ.

"as I have no PhD. I was told everything I say and watch is rubbish."
Yeah, well, I'm not a mathematician either, but 2 + 2 still equals 4.
The paper doesn't mean squat if you don't have the humility to refrain from thinking yourself superior to those that don't have the degree.
A couple of people found out, copping that attitude with me, ends up in them being embarrassed, not me.
Believe it or not, when those two realize I'm not as dumb as they assumed, they both had a melt down and said; "You arrogant little......" you get the picture.
The egotistical narcissists always accuse those that know the truth, of being arrogant and uneducated.
Personally, I'd rather be uneducated, than end up becoming and educated idiot which most colleges and universities are producing these days.

I tried the Tor browser and it turns out the Tor browser is not a distinctly different browser than Firefox.
The Tor files in the Tor Browser folder, are shortcuts to the Firefox instance that is found in the Tor Browser/browser folder. The end result is that, when you are starting Tor, you are not starting the Tor Browser, you are starting the Firefox browser with specialized parameters within the browser folder inside the Tor Browser folder.
The problem with doing this is that if you have a Firefox profile that you use regularly, the really Firefox and not Tor browser, will overwrite the settings in that profile.
The end result is that the next time you open up Firefox, you are not starting out where you left off the last time you used Firefox, you are starting out where you left off the last time you used the Tor browser.
This tells us that the Tor browser was set up by a bunch of dishonest leftist marxist claiming to be intelligent, conservative privacy loving developers.
So, what other lies have they been telling us?
Perhaps the Tor browser does not really secure your privacy?
I really hate being lied too.

The left continuously speaks lies and sows discord among the people and among the brethren. Therefore; does the Lord hate the left.
Proverbs 6:16: These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18: An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19: A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
The left devices mischief continually and continuously the left sows discord among the people and the brethren. Therefore; the calamity of the Left will come suddenly, and suddenly, the left shall be broken without remedy.
Proverbs 6:12: A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13: He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14: Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15: Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

"I don't know how anyone can call themselves a Christian while teaching leftist principles utterly disgusting"
There's an easy explanation to that apparent dilemma.
The Marxist left are liars.
Teaching marxist leftism is lying.
Claiming to be a Christian while teaching marxist leftism, is lying.
Does that clarify it?
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

@69smilodrone85
"christianity is inherently against individualism.
Look at history.
Every time western civilization has moved towards freedom, human rights and democracy was done by pushing away from religion.
Reformation, renaissance, the enlightment.
History proves my point."
Your interpretation of history does not prove your point. It only demonstrates that your point of view is corrupt.
The Reformation was to bring the Church back to Biblical Christianity and away from the corrupt religion that had taken over the catholic church at that time.
Christianity is not against individualism.
Christianity acknowledges individualism.
You are not a Christian just because you were born in a given nation or family or are part of a specific group or congregation. You can only be a Christian by you yourself believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He died on the cross to redeem you, yourself from your sins and ask Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart to be Lord of your life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Jesus Christ addressed people on an individual basis as well as a corporate basis.
First as an individual as above, secondly, believers as a corporate as follows.
John 13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments.
The only thing history ever proves is that every succeeding generation must stand up to and reject the stupidity that caused mayhem and destruction in previous generations. Otherwise they will suffer the same fate as previous generations that chose to follow the stupidity that caused the mayhem and destruction.

Revelation 13:15: And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

"1% economic elite who possess 90% of the nation’s wealth,"
That is lie number 1. They do not possess the nations wealth. They possess their own wealth.
"school children without textbooks"
Is caused by poor management at the local level, not the national level. A few years back there was a report of Detroit students not having books. Those books were found sitting in a warehouse all wrapped up and tidy, not having been distributed.
"or necessary school personnel (like nurses!),"
"people without health care, an entire working population practically a pink slip away from no health insurance, etc. "
I'll agree that people without health care is a problem, but that is also a local level problem, not a national problem.
"The Pentagon gets 67¢ of every tax dollar of non-entitlement spending."
People would much prefer to rob the rich man and give his money away, than to put their hand in their pocket and give to the poor and needy.
National defense is the Federal Government's primary constitutional duty. Health care is not mentioned in the constitution. Nor is giving aid to the poor. Health care and giving aid to the poor is best done at the local level, not the national level. The problem is with people's attitudes. Granted, it's hard to determine whether or not that person on the street corner is legit or just a scam artist, and it's just as hard to determine whether or not the NGO that claims to be helping the poor, is in fact, using much of their revenue to help the poor. But government with corrupt bureaucrats is not any better at doing the job.
"People owning billions pay no taxes or very"
In some cases, billion dollar corporations use the tax laws to reduce their tax burden to nothing. Despite this fact, the top 10% of earners, pay 90% of all tax revenue that the government takes in. This is said so often I have no idea how or why you would disregard it and put forth this statement as though it were true.
It is best to let the rich do what the rich know how to do. Create jobs and create wealth by creating jobs.
Now, if you prefer to be unemployed, hungry, and homeless, then by all means; confiscate all the money that the rich have and spend it on the poor. It won't last very long, and you will find out as every socialist, communist, marxist, wealth confiscating society in history has found to be true; without personal wealth, the nation as a whole ends up in economic poverty and the only rich that exist, are the elitists liars running the government and confiscating the wealth.

"You said it yourself. They're not teachers, they're educators. There's a difference. Please educate yourself and what that means. "
You're in college, and you don't know that educator and teacher are synonyms.
Then tell me to educate myself.
I think you need to follow your own advice before you give out the advice.
From Webster's 1913 Dictionary
Educator
(n.) One who educates; a teacher.
You need to look up the definition of words more often.
You will be surprised how often a word is used in a way that is not consistent with it's actual definition.
"You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink.. So whatever constructs they may have been touting to you. If it didn't come with data to back it up then you should not have listened to it. Hence "the bring you to the water."
I don't except a person's argument on a subject if that person's response to a request for sources is; "You need to do you own research."
While it is good that people do their own research, it is a mistake to assume that you do not have to be prepared to point people to your source of information.
It is especially necessary to require a link to a source if the person is making an accusation against someone.
"That said..Just because someone offers you information in a way that you do not like, it does not make that information incorrect."
This is true, however, keep in mind that data can be manipulated, so if you are being given a snapshot of the data, then odds are the data has been manipulated to put forth a view that is not correct. This happens on both sides of the isle and the real facts tend to fall somewhere in the middle. That is unless the proponents of the view point are not intentionally trying to mislead people to the extreme.
"The difference between a high school teacher and a college professor at least when it comes to their students is. WE ARE GROWN or at least I am and I can tell the difference between misinformation and quality information."
Regardless of whether you are grown or not; educators that engage in cultural transition and do not educate; are defrauding their students. In other industries, that would be a criminal offense and subject to prosecution.

"As I read it, it's for defamation and misinformation (misinformation is criminalized in Thailand's Computer Act)
edit: just to clarify, it's because the Thai co-author thinks that the paper is correct, and so the criticism is wrong and so, misinformation."
That was rather stupid on their part.
By filing a defamation case, the paper itself comes under legal scrutiny.
Whether they win or lose will determine how the Thai laws on defamation are written.
If the plaintiff is required to prove his or her case, then all the defendant needs to do is call more witnesses to critically review the paper, than the plaintiff calls witness supporting the paper.
Then, if Thai has laws against filing a frivolous suite, and the paper is shown to be nonsense in court, the plaintiff may end up being fined or charged with wasting the court's time on a frivolous law suite.

The US's use of nuclear bombs to bring an end to the war did not change the course of the war, it brought the war to an end sooner and with fewer casualties, than there would have been had the allies invaded the island of Japan.
We were not there faced with those decisions.
We may disagree with that decision, but, we do not have a place to judge or condemn those that found it necessary, to destroy multiple cities during the course of WWII.
Those who have never been in a position in which their actions necessitated the taking of another's life, assume themselves to be morally superior to those who had not choice but to pull the trigger. In truth, those who have not been in such a situation, that judge and condemn those who choose to defend their own lives against an assailant, are in fact, morally inferior, as they actively adhere to themselves to the criminal element and demand those who defend themselves, be the next dead victim, of the criminals they refuse to prosecute.
You may think the two are unrelated when in fact, it is the same judgmental attitude that demands nations and people to give up their right to self defense.

"yo Lumpy, you know your religion is the biggest slave institution around?"
True Christianity does not enslave people.
Jesus Christ died to liberate people from the bondage, slavery and penalty of their sin.
"Your satanic god lied to you :("
My God is not satanic and has not lied to me.
I've had a lot of preachers lie and misinform me, but my God has never done so.
You should know that the person that told you God lied to you; is an agent of the same person that deceived the woman and brought the human race under the slavery of sin, disobedience and death.
The same one that deceived himself into thinking that if he killed Jesus Christ, he would win the war. Instead, Christ rose the third day victorious over sin and death, and penalty that those under the law of sin and death must suffer.
But that gift is not without a cost.
First, one must humble oneself and admit to needing that gift.
Second, One must humble oneself and ask for that gift.
Third, it is expected of those that believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and the remission of sin; obey the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ which requires the turning away from lies, immoral behavior and corruption.

@youtubesucks3393
"lol, Jesus died for your sins because he wants you to feel safe to sin some more!!"
Wrong!
Anyone that believes it's OK to sin is very ignorant of the Scriptures and it is doubtful that they are an actual believer in Christ.
Those that believe it is OK for them to sin do so by cutting a verse in the bible apart, then taking their preferred partial verse and claim it as truth.
Those words are; "ye are not under the law".
There however, is not a single sentence in and of itself, in the bible that states; "we are not under the law", nor is there any passage that implies it is OK to sin.
There are two verses that have; "ye are not under the law" within them. Romans 6:14 and Galatians 5:18. However, those sentences include prerequisites that one must abide by in order to not be under the law.
When you read the previous verse or verses and the following verse or verses, the message as a whole makes it quite clear that believers under the blood of Christ, do not have a license to sin and are expected to obey the laws of righteousness not follow after unrighteousness.
Romans 6:13: Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15: What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Galatians 5:14: For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15: But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16: This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17: For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Those who like to pick verses apart in the way the "we are not under the law" wicked do; are not under the blood of Christ. They are in fact rebellious to Christ.
In fact, a couple chapters later in Romans 8:2; Paul puts forth that despite the fact that we are in Christ; we are yet under law. Not the law of sin and death that brings condemnation and eternal punishment; but the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus that brings forgiveness and life.
Romans 8:2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
If the law has freed me from the law, then am I yet under law. Those that stand upon the statement; "we are not under the law" are rebellious to the law and not under the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. They confess it to being so with their words.
Believers in Christ receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
When the Holy Spirit enters a believer, the first thing He does is write God's law in their heart.
Jeremiah 31:33: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The second thing He does is begin to give the believer a new heart that walks in God's statutes, keeps His judgments and does them.
Ezekiel 36:26: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
The Holy Spirit works these things in believers because we are saved by grace through faith; not of the works we do ourselves, lest any of us boast in ourselves that we have saved ourselves from sin.
Ephesians 2:8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
The whole purpose of salvation by grace through faith is so that we become God's workmanship in Christ Jesus unto good works which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
"Exactly what Satan wants!! Your cult lied to you!! See you pretend you’re smart but really you’re just institutionalized by your cult :( Satan deceived the whole world! "
I don't have a cult. I have a resurrected savior.
You are free to continue following after the deceptions of your lies.
But you will do well to repent from those lies and believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; only begotten Son of God.
"America is Babylon!! Everything you know is a LIE!! But don’t take my word on it, because your god is coming for you!"
If you believe that America is Babylon; you are the one that is deceived.
China fits the description of mystery Babylon more so than the United States; even though we currently have politicians that are seeking to turn the United States into a marxist totalitarian regime like China. You will do well to stand against these efforts.

"Scott Tovey they found no wrongdoing in this report. However, Trump will go to jail. he has tons of crimes under investigation. Don’t forget he is individual one in Muller Report. He isn’t in jail because he is the president."
Keep deluding yourself with that lie.
It won't benefit you, it will harm you.
Biden on the other hand, is on video boasting about manipulating the Ukraine Government to get their attorney general fired for investigating his son's employer. That alone is corruption of authority and unlawful.
The biggest delusion you leftist have is that you believe your world view of everything offensive is the truth when it is in fact the lie you are deluding yourselves with.
Justice Barret is going to be confirmed.
President Trump is going to be reelected.
Those that violated their oath of office and broke the law are going to be arrested and tried.
The self evident truth is:
Tough love is hate.
Social justice is not just.
God is supreme and rules in the nations and kingdoms of men.
Daniel 4:17: This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
Delude yourself with all you want, except you repent and believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and the remission of sins, God's judgment and justice will come upon you as well.
Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

"America's CBDC will be used in the same way. Therefore, who are we to criticize China for doing the same thing that we are about to or is doing?"
We who criticize, we who condemn and oppose this march unto the worshiping of demons and evil spirits, we are the people of God and just as Isaiah of old was commanded to; cry aloud, spare not, lift up his voice like a trumpet, and shew God's people their transgressions, and his nation, the house of Jacob their sins; we who are God's people are commanded, in these times; to do the same.
We are the people of God; that is who we are!

"That's what we all want isn't it?"
No it's not.
"Then why aren't we doing it?"
Because it's not what we all want.
Whether tough love is tough love or not is solely dependent upon one's definition of tough love.
There is not a one size fits all approach to tough love.
The tough love one gives to an addict will be of no benefit to a non addict.
I was homeless from march 2004 until august 2008.
In May of 2007 I was hospitalized with a heart condition that required surgery.
Despite this fact, after leaving the hospital I was expected to go into any business that may or may not have been hiring, and take any job that I was or was not qualified to do.
The only way I was able to get off the street was to go through a training program that was a hundred miles away from my home town until I was offered a HUD section 8 apartment. And even that was a bit iffy because, despite having an obvious physical disability from heart disease, not a single doctor was willing to declare me disabled.
If you treat a healthy person that is having a difficult time finding work during a depression; like a drug addict; rather than getting that person back go work, you will end up disabling that person permanently.
There are plenty of programs for a homeless drug addict.
I could find absolutely none for an unemployed homeless man that needed time to analyze the situation without all the stress and figure out what the best course of action would be.
Oh, and it would have been nice if I was given such information that lead to a training program that would lead to employment, rather than just a bunch of raw data that didn't really tell me much.
If you want to help the homeless, help the individual.
Don't try to help people that don't want your help, and then refuse to help those that are genuinely trying to straighten out their lives with the disingenuous lying excuse that all homeless people choose to be homeless.
Some homeless are homeless as a result of long term unemployment or underemployment, not a drug addiction.

Sometimes, you gotta pull the trigger to have peace.

"The wallet was given to him by his girlfriend, almost certainly because it would be hard to strip carrying a giant wallet, to hold and protect. The wallet was not stolen, and it was not a deadly weapon."
Not exactly the facts of the matter.
As soon as she asked for her wallet and her money, and he withheld it, that property became stolen goods.
It doesn't matter that she initially gave it too him.
It is also obvious that she gave it too him for a specified period of time, not perpetually.
"Red shirt guy might not be a model citizen by any stretch, but unlikable people still have rights."
If red shirt guy had surrendered the girls wallet and money when the police arrived, the whole situation would not have not occurred.
"Every citizen has the right to defend themselves from an unlawful assault. Know your rights, don't be as ignorant as the bootlickers that run this channel."
You are missing the underlying intent of red shirt guy which becomes evident when you watch the rest of the video.
Red shirt guy had been out of jail for 5 days from a previous 30 day sentence due to assault and disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to 60 days for this incident and probation. The day before his 60 day sentence was set to expire, he assaulted an officer in the jail and his probation was revoked, he also received additional time for that assault.
Why did red shirt guy assault an officer one day before he was to be released from jail?
It's simple.
Red shirt guy wants to be in jail.
It may be that he finds the constraints of jail less stressful and therefore prefers to be in there as opposed to the stresses of normal life.

"He was incredibly radical in his time. So much so, that his words and acts are still revered thousands of years later.
It's unreasonable to expect the person on the street to live up to that kind of standard."
The seemingly unreasonableness of the expectation is most certainly reasonable. Without that expectation, you would refuse to acknowledge that you are incapable of living up to that expectation.
John 15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
God knows we cannot live up to the expectation, that is why Jesus died for our salvation and the remission of our sins.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
God want's you to strive to achieve that standard with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your might, but He does not expect you to do it alone, that is why He puts the Holy Spirit within you.
Ezekiel 36:27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
John 14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17: Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15:26: But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:13: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Hind sight is always 20/20 provided you obtain valid information.
The problem with anecdotal evidence is that when evidence is not permitted to be published, it remains anecdotal and not properly peer reviewed.
The vilification of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectine by big pharma and the mainstream news media in America was unjustified. Corrupt People In Government Service without valid medical experience, and in some cases without medical degrees, interfered in the patient doctor relationship and prevented experienced medical doctors from finding a proper treatment of COVID.
As it turns out, both drugs have anti-inflammatory properties which is essential when dealing with viruses like COVID. The reason for this is that when a person is sick and inflammation is building up, the immune system works on resolving the inflammation first.
Without the aid of an anti-inflammatory, the body can be overwhelmed with inflammation and the immune system does not have a chance to deal with the virus itself which in turn leads to the death of the patient.
By treating the patient with an anti-inflammatory, the drug deals with excessive inflammation in the body which in turn allows the immune system to deal directly with the virus.
In one research study I heard about, researchers found that patients with COVID that had been taking CBD, did not advance to severe stages of COVID. CBD is an anti-inflammatory without side affects.
An individual in Africa had developed long COVID and then subsequently became infected with scabies. Scabies is a parasitic bug that burrows into the skin. It is quite itchy. The treatment for scabies is 12mg of Ivermectine. The patient states that the morning after taking the first dose of 12mg of Ivermectine, the symptoms of long COVID that said patient was experiencing had reduced. The patient informed the doctor of this who thought to prescribe 40 mg of Ivermectine but the patient asked for 20mg of Ivermectine because the 12mg was already very affective.
Subsequent research found that Ivermectine clogs the receptacles of the COVID virus preventing it from entering the cell where it can reproduce. Thus, it was the best candidate for treating COVID, however, because of the vilification of Ivermectine by big pharma and the main stream news media, calling it a horse drug, doctors were prevented from trying Ivermectine as a treatment.
In some cases, pharmacies refused to fill prescriptions of Ivermectine, and in so doing, ended up practicing medicine without a license and put the patient's life in danger.
There are oncologists that are upset by the fact that the jab, interfered with their patient's cancer treatment and caused them to relapse.

"I am born snow white American with gun always on me and even I am afraid when going out because I didn't vote for Trump."
Well, gun owners that vote for politicians, which habitually levy war against the United States, and pass unconstitutional laws which abridge the right of the people to keep and bear arms; are voting against the very rights they are exercising.
The end result of this contrariness is a state of fear.
You vote against your own right to keep and bear arms believing that the people who you vote for, and are seeking to strip you of your rights, are your friends and allies.
Then, when a man that works to protect your rights is elected, you cower and hide in fear believing he is the enemy, when your true enemy is the face in the mirror you see every day.
You may want to ask God to take this madness out of you, because dude, when the people I believed were my allies turned out to not care if I died, I stopped believing them to be my allies as they proved by their actions, that they are my enemies.

"So absentee ballots are fine, but if tens of millions of people request them, then you're in the same spot, right? How is it that THEY re fine but voting by mail isn't?"
Not exactly.
When you request an absentee ballot you have to go into the clerks office and verify your identity.
Thus, the only ballots sent out are sent out to the verified address of the voter that requested the ballot.
When ballots that are not requested by the voter are sent out, there is no verification of the address. That voter may have moved to another State and as a result, the new resident at that address will receive the ballot.
If the new resident of the address is dishonest, they can use that ballot illegally to vote for the name on the ballot and forge the signature, even though that individual is no longer a resident of the state and therefore, not qualified to vote.
Anyone that claims this won't happen, is in my opinion, one of the dishonest people that would use the ballot illegally. Why else would they claim that what has happened in the past, won't happen in the future?

"words that are synonym are not the same. That's why they're called synonyms and not the same.."
Really?
Now, I did warn you about looking up word definitions to make sure you have the correct one.
But this word gets murky and contrary to itself.
From English explanatory dictionary (main)
synonym
ˈsɪnənɪm n.
1 a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another in the same language (e.g. shut and close).
2 a word denoting the same thing as another but suitable to a different context (e.g. serpent for snake, Hellene for Greek) or containing a different emphasis (e.g. blindworm for slow-worm).
3 a word equivalent to another in some but not all senses (e.g. ship and vessel). øøsynonymic adj. synonymity n. [ME f. L synonymum f. Gk sunonumon neut. of sunonumos (as SYN-, onoma name): cf. ANONYMOUS]
From WordNet® 3.0 (En-En)
synonym
noun
two words that can be interchanged in a context are said to be synonymous relative to that context
Perhaps you were thinking of the following definition of synonym.
Apparently, when you capitalize the s, the definition changes.
I wonder whose not so bright idea that was.
From Webster's 1913 Dictionary
Synonym
(n.) An incorrect or incorrectly applied scientific name, as a new name applied to a species or genus already properly named, or a specific name preoccupied by that of another species of the same genus; -- so used in the system of nomenclature (which see) in which the correct scientific names of certain natural groups (usually genera, species, and subspecies) are regarded as determined by priority.
"When it comes to the rest of what you said, it's all about how to interpret information when literally that's what I said. Whereas your argument was if you go to college, you're only learning what the professors tell you. And again, if you only learn what the professors tell you in college, you did college wrong. Period"
Unfortunately, the majority of college grads these days, are as you say; "doing college wrong".

"All things written in the Mosaic Law and the Prophets were fulfilled in the 1st century or you are still under every jot and tittle of the Mosaic Law."
It sounds as if you fell off the depend of the "not under the law", "all things fulfilled in Christ", "the church replaces Israel" heresies.
You are ignorant of what Christ did on the cross.
On the Cross, Christ with His blood, consummated the New Covenant. Those that are under the New Covenant are not under the Old Covenant.
Jeremiah 31:31: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:8: For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
"You also, as C. S. Lewis once noted, have to make Jesus/Yeshua and his disciples lying false prophets if he did not come on the same clouds of glory as the Father always did in 70 AD. That's war talk btw."
Again you speak with ignorance not knowing the ways of the Father in Heaven.
Christ coming on the clouds of heaven in 70 AD does not prevent Him from coming on the clouds of heaven after 70 AD. The notion that man's doctrines can stop God from fulfilling His word according to His intent and His purpose is so ridiculous that God Himself laughs at it. How stupid do you think God is that He would limit Himself to man's interpretations of His word?
Psalms 37:12: The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13: The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Psalms 59:5: Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6: They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7: Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8: But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
"I pray that you can free yourself of Nicodemus eyes and ears and that you begin to understand the hyperbolic terms, idioms etc. to be free of fear."
Go wash the egotism, arrogance out of your heart and proud look off of your face. The Lord sees your arrogance and he will cause you to be abased.
Luke 18:14: I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted
"The poor will always be with you?"
Your lack of Biblical study and knowledge is evident by that statement as you can't even quote the Bible properly.
Matthew 26:7: There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8: But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9: For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10: When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11: For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
"We are living in the eternal 8th day of shemini atzeret."
Your math is off by a thousand years. We are in the seventh day. The 8th day is the New Heaven and the New Earth. You are so improperly taught that you cannot see that the last two chapters of Revelation are sequential, and the New Heaven and the New Earth come after the Millennial Reign of Christ in Jerusalem, Israel.
"Btw. Hell was the 1st c. Garbage dump in Jerusalem called gehenna. Non believers just perish. Father is not cruel."
Now, you are calling Jesus Christ Himself a liar.
For Jesus Himself said that the cursed go into everlasting punishment. Just as the righteous go into eternal life, the cursed to into eternal death.
Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44: Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The Old Covenant will not be done away with until Christ physically returns and establishes His kingdom on earth and enters into the New Covenant with Israel. That is the only way that ALL the Jews will put away the Old Covenant and this has been God's game plan all along.
"All things written in the Mosaic Law and the Prophets were fulfilled in the 1st century or you are still under every jot and tittle of the Mosaic Law."
Tell me: If all things were fulfilled in the first century, and the church replaces Israel, why did God fulfill Isaiah 11:11 and restore the Children of Israel to the promise land?
Isaiah 11:11: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Tell me also, when was it that Damascus was taken away from being a city?
Damascus currently has a population of three million residents, and while some areas of Damascus are a ruinous heap, Damascus is remains a city.
Isaiah 17:1: The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Where does the cow and the bear feed together?
When have you heard of the lion eating straw like the ox?
Isa:11:7: And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
When does the wolf and the lamb feed together?
Does the lion eat straw like the bullock?
Does the serpent eat dust like the worm?
Do they refrain from hurting in all of God's holy mountain?
Isa:65:25: The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
When did the mount of Olives cleave in the midst toward the east and the west?
When did half of the mountain remove toward the north?
When did half of the mountain remove toward the south?
What is the name of the great valley in it's midst?
Zechariah 14:4: And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Where in Jerusalem do waters issue out from under the threshold of the house eastward and heal the dead sea so that a fishing industry exists upon it?
Ezekiel 47:1: Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
Ezekiel 47:7: Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8: Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9: And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10: And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
What trees grow next to a river, and because of the waters of that river, their leaves are used for medicine?
Ezekiel 47:7: Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Ezekiel 47:12: And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
All these prophesies I have asked you of have NOT been fulfilled. They are yet to come to pass and the Ezekiel 38 war and the removal of Damascus as a city are next on the horizon.
Every time I start thinking I don't know a whole lot, an idiot like you comes along and proves me wrong.

You certainly do use a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing of significance.
Your whole premise is from a position of offense.
You take offense to those that preach the Gospel of Christ, obeying the commandment of Christ to make a living of the Gospel.
However, you do have one thing going for you. That is; you have not claimed to be Christian like so many I have come across both in person and on social media that will not lift a finger to help a neighbor in need.
That by the way; includes some of those men in the pulpit.
Because of the experiences I have had in Christ and with God, some have rebuked me with the words: "experience does not make truth".
It's quite hypocritical of them when you think about it.
In my experience, I have heard the voice of God call me by name and declare to me what He wants me to do. I have seen visions and dreamed prophetic dreams of events that came to pass.
In there experience, they have experienced non of these things.
Yet, they judge and declare that what I have experienced does not equal truth, while what they have experienced does make truth.
Then there are people like you that think themselves so much more intelligent in matters of things they know nothing about.
Because you take offense at every preacher you see on TV asking for money, you cannot see the truth of the valid message that some of them give.
That Jesus Christ, the only begotten, The Son of God, came to earth, born of a virgin.
Lived a sinless life.
Died for the sins of mankind.
Rose the third day and is ascended up to heaven.
Seated at the right hand of God a high priest to those that believe on His name.
Is soon to return to earth the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to reign over all the earth 1000 years and there will be no wars, but there shall be peace.
The Lion and the Wolf will eat grass like the Ox.
Take care not to allow that which offends you; blind you, to that which is truth and that which can redeem your eternal soul from the lake of fire which is not quenched.

"They can watch me on my webcam as much as they like i dont care i dont have nothing to hide,"
If you let them watch you; they will make the thing you do that is not unlawful, unlawful. This is what was done by those that hated Daniel the Prophet.
Daniel 6:4: Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5: Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6: Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7: All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8: Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9: Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10: Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
11: Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12: Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
13: Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
The wicked do wickedness and seek to make that which is right and true, unlawful. Just as it was done unto Daniel in his obedience to pray, so is it done in our day to those that adhere to the Constitution and the right to keep and bear arms, as well as those that obey the Holy Scriptures.
Luke 22:35: And he (Jesus) said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36: Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and >>>he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
The wicked always seek to accuse and find guilty the innocent with a false accusation. Just as it was done to Daniel. Just as it is done to those that exercise their right to keep and bear arms. Just as it was done to President Trump with every accusation that the left accused him of which, none were found to be true.

"we humans have to evolve at some point"
Human evolution outside the power of God is a fantasy. All who believe in it are deceived and follow after a delusion.
The Bible tells us that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, there is non righteous, no, not one.
Just as a dog cannot give birth to anything but dogs, so too; sin cannot give birth to anything but sin.
Rom:3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom:5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
It is not possible for man, in and of himself, to evolve beyond sin. Man can only evolve beyond sin by the blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, on the cross of Calvary. It is only by and through His power that we can be elevated beyond our moral frailty and weaknesses and He has given us this promise.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
We who believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God have this promise, that when we see Him, we will be like Him.
2Corinthians 3:17: Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
1Corinthians 13:10: But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1Corinthians 15:51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Thessalonians 4:16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1Corinthians 15:55: O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56: The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

"A philosophy teacher gets to the classroom, puts a chair over his table and asks the students to prove him the chair doesn't exist and that, who finishes can leave. So a student gets up, goes to him, gives him a paper and leaves. The paper contained the student's name and 2 words: what chair?"
The student failed.
Denying the existence of a chair by asking what chair, does not prove that the chair does not exist.
In fact, one can easily defeat this claim of proof that the chair does not exist by picking up the chair and hitting the one asking the question over the head with it and saying; this chair.
That would likely get you in trouble but you would easily win the debate as the individual could not deny that a chair just hit him in the head, and would likely be too shocked to come up with another smart aleck response.
I would prefer to use a coconut cream pie though. Would it be messier? Yes, but more fun and no harm done the smart aleck that thinks he's highly intellectual. In addition, with a pie, one or more of them could eat the evidence of the pie's existence and forgo getting hit in the face with it, then question; What pie?

""Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior."
Is this the freedom you want?
No thanks."
You are so blind to your biases.
The whole of the New Testament was written under Roman rule and the dominion of an Emperor dictator as well as during times of severe persecution. Under the laws of the Roman Empire, slavery was legal. Paul therefore; provided instruction on how slaves that became believers were to act towards their masters.
We live under a Constitutional Republic that outlawed slavery with the 13 Amendment at a time when maybe 50 blacks nationwide, were allowed to vote.
Yup, that's right! On December 12, 1865, a nation of people, that the left today accuse of being a nation of systemic white supremacist, ratified an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States that made slavery illegal.
Now you who detest any notion of bondage and servitude are enslaved to your passions and to your sins to do them whether you wish to do them or wish to refrain from doing them.
Yet, God having so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die that by faith through grace, we might be liberated from our nature of sin which makes us an enemy by nature to God.
What you begrudge as a requirement to serve God is in fact walking in the liberty to choose to serve God because He first loved us who deserved nothing but His wrath.
You are bound by your nature of sin which is an enemy of God, and you protest the requirement to serve God just as your nature, the enemy of God enslaves you to do. For it rather than desiring the things of God which is in your best interest, desires those things which make you the enemy of God. It lusts after those things which are to your destruction, not those things which are to your healing, salvation and advancement in eternity.
Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15: What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Galatians 5:18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Rom:8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

"just playing the race card) although black people collectively are still pressing the 'government' for reparations🤪. And for what reason(s)?"
Because they hate the Constitution which makes reparations, slavery, and indentured servitude, illegal.
Reparations works Corruption of Blood and passes the guilt and punishment of a legal offense down to future generations. Article III Section 3 of the US Constitutions declares that Corruption of Blood can only work during the life of the person attainted or found guilty.
This is where the principal of innocent until proven guilty has it's foundation.
"no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."
Reparations are unconstitutional and any reparations that Congress may pass, will be challenged in court and most probably declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
United States Constitution
Article III. - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 – Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

"He was the sacrificial lamb. He only came to restore the kingdom that had been divided and restore the covenant with us and the most high."
1) He did not come to restore a divided kingdom. Israel did not have a divided kingdom after the Babylonian captivity.
Acts 1:6: When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The restoration of the kingdom will be done at His second coming.
Jesus did not come to restore the covenant. He established a New Covenant. One that is based on His sacrifice as the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.
Jeremiah 31:31: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
While that covenant was initiated with Israel, it is not exclusively for Israel. It is for whosoever will.
Matthew 12:50: For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
John 3:15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Those that believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ are part of the commonwealth of Israel and this is not exclusively for the Jews, it is for all nations and families of mankind.
Ephesians 2:12: That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
God does not make a distinction between Jews and Greeks for those that are in Christ, for in Christ, all are one.
Galatians 3:24: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25: But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:9: Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10: And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
You focus on the Old Covenant which, at Christ's second appearing will come to an end. Yet, you have no true knowledge of the New Covenant which is in Christ.
Hebrews 8:8: For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12: For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

All those of you that complain about the military budget are living in a delusional fantasy world in your minds.
You have it in your flawed thinking that if the United States did not have a military, the money spent on the military would be, could be spent on some imaginary more important thing. That's not reality!
In the truth of reality it could not be spent on your pet projects, as you all would be too busy ducking bullets and avoiding bombs to be able to go to work on a daily basis and earn your current living.
If it wasn't a communist, socialist, or marxist attempting to overthrow the government, as we see in the cities of riots and the democratic party. It would be an army of Islamic extremists chopping off heads and demanding that you worship their false god instead of the one true God in heaven.
The only reason that the United States is where it is in the world, economically and militarily, is because past generations of Americans believed in the true God of heaven, believed that He gave His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ for our sins so that by His sacrifice, we may be saved and pardoned from our sins and lived their lives to the best of their ability to live up to the ideals that are part of the Judeo-Christian ethic.
There is always a big kid on the block that some little kid wants to defeat. Since WWII, that big kid has been predominantly the United States. The current moral crisis in America will ultimately end that dominance and it will ultimately, in the long run, shift to the Nation of Israel.
It's so sad that so many are so blind to the facts of life.

"freedom of speech and the right to protest is included in that!"
Not all speech is protected by the 1st Amendment.
If in a citizen's speech and protest, the citizen is adhering to the enemies of the United States and giving them aid and comfort; according to Article III Section 3 of the US Constitution, that citizen has committed treason.
Such speech and protests are not protected by the 1st Amendment and despite the fact that many defense attorneys would argue the defendant did not intend to commit treason and is therefore not guilty, Article III Section 3 of the US Constitution does not mention intentions. It only mentions actions. As a result, the "intent" defense is not applicable to the crime as treason is not about one's intentions, it's about one's actions.
The Constitution puts the obligation to insure that a citizen's actions does not constitute an act of treason, on the citizen. It is always stated that "Ignorance is not a defense", and a good majority of Americans today, do not know the legal definition of treason, that is written within the Constitution of the United States.
Article III. - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 – Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

"Just because that one person you spoke to had his solar setup dependent on the grid doesn’t make the whole energy plan flawed"
That one person did not have his solar setup dependent on the grid.
State code requires everyone in his state to have their solar dependent on the grid.
It's a stupid regulation as you can just as easily isolate the grid from the solar supply when the grid goes down.
But that comes down to being the people's fault for; 1) not standing up to stupid regulations like that and 2) reelecting politicians that vote for stupid regulations like that.
"Then every single tax break/subsidy would be canceled besides those apart of social welfare then"
I wonder how that would affect the economy.
"Getting conspiracy theorist levels with that “traitor levying war” despite the lobbying campaigns of the oil industry"
When the policy hurts the nation rather than benefits the nation; it's levying war against the nation.
Shutting down American petroleum production to make America dependent upon foreign energy producers, then blaming the foreign energy producers for not producing more petroleum; is levying war against the United States. An act of Treason.
Shutting down the economy in order to prevent the spreading of a virus all the while releasing illegal immigrants, that test positive for that virus to enter the United States; is levying biological, viral warfare against the United States. An act of treason.
Shutting down the Keystone pipeline and then allowing Russia to complete their pipeline which will give them an economic leverage over Europe; is adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort. Adhering to the enemies of the United States is an act of Treason.
Pulling American troupes out of Afghanistan and leaving billions of dollars in war equipment and allowing the enemy takes possession of; is adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort. An act of treason.
Article 3, section 3 of the United States Constitution does not require one to prove intent as treason has nothing to do with intent. Treason is the outcome of one's actions and one's actions alone prove the intent.
Anyone that makes a mistake and sees the mistake quickly makes corrections to undo the mistake. Some of the policies Biden put into place can be corrected and those problems solved. But handing billions of dollars of advanced US military equipment over to a group of terrorists; cannot be undone. The act of treason is solidified by their possession and the need to put boots on the ground in order to correct the act of treason.
Other democrats have committed treason as well.
Every governor and mayor that ordered the police to stand down during the riots of 2020, used those rioters to levy war against the people of that city. Used the rioters to levy war against the United States of America. They have all committed treason and ought to be prosecuted for doing so.
Despite the clear and obvious harm that Biden and the democrat policies have done; they do not make any corrections. For that matter, they do not even acknowledge that harm has been done unless they are forced to by their voters.
All those harmful policies are intentional. They are not mistakes. Everyone was implemented for the sole purpose of; "burning the whole thing down".
These are not conspiracy theories; they are the facts of history, the historical acts that the democrats have taken beginning in 2020. They have all thorugh their actions and support of the marxist left propaganda, have committed treason.

"it's not the case with the authoritarian Chinese government. They do not own the corporations, many of which are listed on stock exchanges and are owned by shareholders."
Which will be the last words of many a traitor that has adhered themselves to the enemies of the United States; giving them aid and comfort.
Ownership of a corporation is irrelevant. Every company in China is an agent of the Communist Chinese Party which has on multiple occasions declared themselves to be the enemies of the United States.
Invest in them at your peril.
Not only will you not be able to get your money back if the corporation has chosen to mislead you in regards to their actual profitability which by the way; the Chinese government has declared to be a national security secret.
You should also note that the Constitution does not require a proof of intent for the accused to be found guilty of treason. All that need be proven is that your actions either lead to your levying war against the United States; or your actions caused you to adhere yourself to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort.
"In China, if you step out of line, you are screwed, but yet, there are billionaires and many millionaires there. It's very capitalist (which is economic, not political)."
The billionaires and millionaires that exist in China exist at the pleasure of the Communist Chinese Party. They will disappear any billionaire or millionaire that they deem a threat to the Communist Chinese Party.
"So what is the gain of conflating big U.S../transnational tech companies with Chinese companies? It adds no value to the discussion, and in fact, just muddies the water."
To say that is to speak out of willful ignorance.
Both the US transnational tech companies and the Chinese companies are working to subvert our rights. There is no muddying of waters by fusing them together, there is only a clarification of who the enemies are.

" As someone who signed up for mail-in, I can confirm you are wrong. When I voted early in person (out of concern Trump would try to get the election called on November 3 before all mail-ins were counted), they immediately voided the ballot they had sent me in the mail. I didn't have to bring them that ballot; they voided it by its ID and informed me that felony charges would be filed if I or anyone else sent in that ballot. It has since been shredded."
You have not confirmed anything.
1) You signed up for mail in ballot, it was not sent to you regardless of whether you wanted it to be sent or not.
2) You went in to vote in person and they voided your mail in ballot. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. By the way; who has your mail in ballot?
3) What of all those people that do not go in because they are in a completely different state, did not sign up for a mail in ballot, and a mail in ballot was mailed to their former address?
Will those mail in ballots be voided?
Fact is, they should not have been sent in the first place.
The only thing you have confirmed is that you watch way too much main stream news media. You have confirmed that despite the integrity that Donald Trump has shown while in office (he kept many of his campaign promises), you choose to believe the lies that are being told about him.
1) He said he would cut taxes - he did.
2) He said he would build a wall - he did. Granted, the wall project didn't go as smooth as he had hoped, but then, you can blame the leftist globalist agenda for that.
3) He said he would appoint conservative judges - he did.
4) He said he would reduce economy stifling regulations - he did.
5) He said he would create jobs - he did.
5.a) The combination of economic growth and job growth brought about the lowest unemployment numbers in decades, and those low numbers included record low minority unemployment.
5.b) The strength of the economy coupled with low unemployment brought about an increase in wages not seen during the 8 years of Obama Biden administration.
Donald Trump has done nothing to threaten the legal vote, he has only made moves to protect the election from the unlawful mass mailing of ballots.
All of his moves have been to uphold state election laws and quash those actions that are in violation of state election laws.
The Michigan secretary of state sent out ballots in violation of Michigan election laws. Then, the democrats files a law suite and an activist judge ordered the State of Michigan to accept and count mail in ballots up to ten days after election day which is contrary to what is legislated in Michigan election law.
Look, if your state has had mail in ballots for years, then I suspect that your state and local municipalities have everything setup to deal with a large influx of ballots. The State of Michigan has absolutely nothing in place to deal with the massive mail in ballots that the secretary of State, mailed out against Michigan election laws.

I have heard for 40 years from confessing Christians: "The Israel in the middle east is not the Israel of the Bible."
I have always considered that statement false.
The recent history of Israel from 1948, and the many wars they won, which they should have lost, indicates God's favor on the nation of Israel.
I have heard most recently from people claiming to be Christians: "The Jews in Israel aren't the real Jews".
How is it that someone that claims to believe in Christ, and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, can believe that the creator God, who created the DNA code, is unable to determine which people are descendants from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Such a statement is blasphemy.
The prophets were very clear that only when the Children of Israel, real Jews, were about the return to the land, would the land spring forth and become fruitful again. Only under the current people whose enemies allege to not be real Jews, to have no claim of inheritance, has the land blossomed, thereby bearing witness to all the world; that the current people within the nation of Israel, are the true Jews, the true Children of Israel.
If the witness of the land is insufficient for you to believe that this Israel is the Israel prophesied by the prophets of old, consider then that all DNA testing has shown that the Jews which came from many nations, from many different parts of the world, are genetically closer to each other, than to the people of the nations which they returned to the land from. That is to say; Russian Jews are genetically closer to African Jews, than they are to Russians in the land of Russia, where they returned from.

Bible verses that support a strong defense and the destruction of the enemy..
2Samuel 22:40: For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41: Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42: They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43: Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
Psalms 18:39: For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40: Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41: They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42: Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
The reference Dennis could not remember;
Psalms 29:11: The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. KJV
At the last supper, just prior to going to the mount of Olives Jesus had the following discussion with His disciples.
Luke 22:35: And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36: Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37: For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

"no it's not a lie and there are no degrees that amount to a waste, you just don't understand what the point of obtaining a degree really is or what it tells about the person who earned it. As a manager, I would prefer somebody with a degree in underwater basket weaving and no experience in my field than someone with a high school diploma and some experience."
That tells me that as an employer, you do not deserve the quality workmanship, work ethic, and integrity that comes with a High School Graduate, and some experience.
All that degree tells you about an individual is that the individual with the degree, was willing to spend years of their life, in an educational institution. It tells you nothing of their work ethic, nothing of the quality of their work, and nothing of their integrity.

"Wait so Scott, your argument is that the hospitals don't care about helping people over bean counting,"
Not hospitals, individuals.
" and that there may be some secret force propelling them to count beans. yes, there is, it's called a brand new Rolls Royce Dawn, and a house in Miami."
Not everyone dreams of owning and expensive car.
"Maybe if we treated healthcare more as a human right and less as an capitalist industry, the people who are out to make profit will no longer find profit, and the people out to get a life saving surgery will get to have that life saving surgery."
Your rights end where another's rights begin. If doctors cannot earn a living; who will be a doctor? You cannot force people to be doctors, that makes it slavery and slavery is illegal in the US.
There are two ways two withhold medical treatment from people.
1) excessive prices that are not controlled by market forces.
2) socializing and thereby reducing the availability of the service.
Socializing anything including medicine only serves to make it less available and is never the solution.
"Hospitals are not being used to heal, they are being used to profit, now imagine that being a good practice in any other situation. Maybe there's a war, and to get on the hospital ship, a bill will be sent back to your family, the poor soldiers, are just going to need to die. There's even a meme about it on the Internet,"
Don't be delusionally stupid.
There's no way any government is going to use civilian hospitals to treat injured soldiers on the battle field. It makes no logistical sense.
"And I really hope you are pro abortion because with a name like @ Scott Tovey you must not know what it's like to carry another human being inside of you for 9 months because you were raped in the state of Mississippi."
Given the fact that, it is always the baby's body that is destroyed, and never the body of the woman carrying that baby; I find no justification in terminating the life of a baby that is not in deed and in fact, threatening the life of the mother. Destroying the baby's body therefore, is unwarranted and criminal.
The fact that the woman's life will be altered yet not destroyed if she chooses to keep the baby, rather than adopting the baby out; there is no justification for shedding the blood of the innocent and sacrificing them on satan's altar of murder.

The gas lighting of patients is not a new phenomenon that started with COVID-19, and vax injured.
Back in 2007 I entered the hospital very sick and learned that I had water on the heart that required surgery to correct.
While I was fairly sick pre surgery, my post surgery condition was actually worse due to the excess stress that surgery causes and the fact that I was fairly malnourished. Not that I'm aware that the doctors actually tested a homeless man for malnutrition mind you. Apparently, US doctors operate under the delusion that hunger and malnutrition does not occur in the US.
Post surgery, I could not walk 10 feet without stopping to rest.
I would be completely winded.
A year and several months later, I was able to obtain an apartment on the second floor with no elevator. Every time I walked up that flight of stairs, my heart would race as though I had run the 100 yard dash.
I think it was in 2010, with the same issue, that my cardiologist told me to; "get back to a normal life".
What about the lack of energy? I asked.
He did not say a word as he walked out the door.
If you don't have the energy to get back to a normal life, you can't get back to a normal life.
Eventually I was able to get on SSI hoping that this would enable me to start a real recovery. Unfortunately, doctors in the US don't give you the information you need to actually start a true recovery.
Your problem with chronic fatigue post surgery, in their mind is all in your head.
Around 2014, he retired in 2015, my primary care physician told me; "We're getting older, we have to get used to this".
Really doc?
Then why am I healthier today, have more energy today; than the day you told be that load of BS.
Am I 100%?
Nope, and I may never be.
I'm not sure that a 63 year old can get back the health he had at 43 when he became homeless.

"in the Bible!"
Based on your post, I'm under the impression that you expect me to believe a person is guilty of a crime without any evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty.
Don't be an ally of Satan.
It is not sufficient to say; "it's in the Bible".
You need to be able to state what chapter and verse it is located; otherwise your argument becomes pointless. People will just ignore you because you in truth; said absolutely nothing.
This is easier to do on a computer than on a cell phone, because you can copy and paste text from one website to another a lot easier.
I do not have a problem believing the Bible.
I do have a major problem just believing someone that something is in the simply because they say it is in the Bible but will not or can not. specify what Book, chapter and verse it is written in.
We must be ready to give an account for what we believe.
It's hard to do that when you can't specify the book, chapter and verse.
1Peter 3:15: But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Jesus used; "As it is written" because the people He was speaking of were well studied in the scriptures. They knew what was written and could tell you which book it was in.
Knowledge is the guard that protects us from destruction.
Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
You cannot inspire people to have vision, if you will not point them to the Book chapter and verse. This is especially true when you are dealing with an unbeliever.
Proverbs 29:18: Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
We have to be much smarter than the enemy.
Otherwise, the enemy wins.

"Fossil fuel companies could invest in wind, solar, batteries, hydrogen, nuclear, etc in order to maintain profitability whilst divesting from fossil fuels. "
Wrong.
1) There are too many products that are produced using petroleum, including medicines; to eliminate petroleum fuels.
2) Wind and solar are not profitable. They depend on huge government subsidies that maintain and inflate the prices of those products which further makes them unprofitable as well as not affordable to those with lower incomes.
3) Fossil fuels are also necessary to produce those technologies as solar and wind are too unreliable to utilize on a consistent basis for manufacturing.
4) Hydrogen takes a lot more energy to produce than simply using petroleum fuels.
5) Producing wind and solar energy will produce much more CO2 than simply sticking with what we already have thereby making the situation worse rather than better.
6) The only real answer that environmentalists have is to bankrupt western governments, especially the United States. That is not a solution to the problem.
7) By transitioning to natural gas, the United States has done more in reducing it's carbon footprint than other nations. The total benefit of that reduction was negated by both China and India bringing on what amounted to two additional coal burning plants for every one the United States took off line. The end result was not a reduction in CO2, the end result was an increase in the cost of energy for the United States and a reduction in energy reliability in the United States.
The end result is; I don't care what those scientists say, because they don't have a valid solution to the problem. Their whole modus operandi is to do harm to western nations while at the same time benefiting the enemies of the west. In the United States, this attitude of adhering to the enemies of the United States , giving them aid and comfort; is one of the definitions of treason written within the Constitution of the United States. It is unlawful for US Citizens to seek the benefit of the enemies of the United States which also does harm too the United States. It is unlawful to pursue profit where it is detrimental too the United States.
I don't listen to or honor traitors those that seek to do me or my country harm; I hold them with an extreme amount of contempt.

@Leo99929
I'm doing multiple posts so as not to freak out YouTube's AI bot.
"1)I have never stated I have a problem with petroleum products in general. I totally agree that there's little to no issue with using them in many instances. I have a problem with burning them, specifically. I don't think we need to, or should. "fossil *FUELS*". "
They are actually not fossil fuels. Nothing fossilized, can transition to petroleum due to the fact that the fossilization transitions an item from being organic, to mineralized and by novices, considered stone.
They are carbon fuels.
Petroleum is developed by a process that turns organic material into oil and natural gas. There is nothing fossil about that process.
"2) Fossil fuels are currently subsidised, too."
The only people that receive subsidies for Petroleum energy, are the poor that cannot afford it. The money goes directly to the poor, not the corporations. The poor then uses that money to pay their gas and electric bill. That is not subsidizing petroleum, it is giving assistance to the poor.
When it comes to green energy on the other hand, the money goes to rich people that are able to afford the cost of solar panels, turbines, and the batteries necessary to store the energy produced through tax write offs.
Tax write offs also go to green energy companies. This is not actually subsidizing green energy, just as the tax write offs for oil companies si not subsidizing petroleum.
These tax write offs subsidize business in general as all businesses have access to those tax wrote offs.
Where actual subsidies exist are the billions of dollars in grants that have been paid directly to green energy companies, some of which that have gone bankrupt after receiving grants.

"3) Solar panels have no moving parts. Their warranties are like 15 years and that's only to a reduced capacity where they'll still produce power. Do you mean variability of energy production rate? Yeah, we need maybe nuclear aswell, and/or pumped hydro/hydrogen/batteries."
The problem with that is; the activists are against those forms of cleaner energy as well. That's unreasonableness is a good indication that they are not concerned with the environment. They are more concerned with destroying the stable energy we now have.
Why is it so crucial to have an EV fleet by 2030 or 2035, when it is a well known fact that the electrical grid, can neither produce, nor deliver the amount of electricity that the transition will demand?
Michigan electric companies had to bring gas powered plants back on line because the projected reduction in energy demand that they were basing their decisions on, turned out to be false. Demand has increased as a result of EVs rather than go down.
In regards to the reduction in demand projection is concerned, I have no idea where they got that stupid idea. As population increases, demand does not decrease, it increases, and even though Michigan's population has reduced, that reduction does not necessarily equate to a demand so low that it allows for the turning off of multiple electric plants.
One cannot maintain a stable power grid by using projections based on wish full thinking data. You have to use real time data which will always imply an increasing demand.

"All we need to do is stop digging up carbon sequestered over millions of years and burning it in a tiny fraction of that time. That's it. Nothing more difficult or complex than that."
Really?
Tell a drug addict that all he has to do is stop taking the drug he is addicted too. That's it. Nothing more difficult nor complex than that.
It is in fact more complex and more difficult than that, as the global economy depends on petroleum fuel to run. To heat homes, to provide transportation,
What is being demanded in essence is; that we take an air craft carrier, and do a 180 degree turn in the same way that can be done on a jet ski.
It's not ever going to happen!
When you turn an air crafter carrier, you have to take your time doing so.
To transition the global economy from petroleum fuels to any other form of energy, a proper long term plan must be implemented and followed.
It's going to take 100 years to complete and it is never going to happen in a short 20 years.
"Fossil fuel subsidies accounted for 7.1% of global GDP in 2022. $2 Trillion increase from 2020. Global green energy subsidies were $166 billion. Fossil fuel subsidies are about 42 times green energy subsidies."
No other nation on earth is demanded to commit economic and national suicide in the cause to stop "global warming"?
That renders the subsidies that the US does not provide, and other countries do provide irrelevant.
"If you think the definition of the word "fossil" is at all relevant then we're not talking about the same topic"
You don't defeat lies with lies.
You defeat lies with truth.
That makes the definition of the word relevant.
If they are lying to you about what the fuel is, that is a good indication that they are lying to you about what they claim the fuel is causing.
If you don't correct the lies of the past, and the lies of the present, how are you going to devise a proper, realistic plan based on truth?
Why would people take you as credible given that you are using the wrong terminology?
I don't use every dictionary on the planet, and the one's I do use, do not list fuels within the definitions of fossil.

"Well said. All of it."
Thanks.
The sad thing about my point of view;
I told an environmental activist back in 2004 or 2005 that we needed to first transition the auto industry to hybrids so that the platform would already in place should a cleaner energy source come along.
If GM, rather than canceling the Chevy Volt hybrid, expanded that technology to all their makes and models, GM would be so far ahead of the pack that the rest of the industry would have been forced to catch up.
Instead, they cancel the Volt, and went with the dead on arrival plan to push EVs.
Incremental steps get you further faster because they reveal along the way, those little unknowns that must be fixed in order to get to the destination.
All the environmentalists do is constantly advocate for a plan that has already failed and will shortly be put in the grave. Then they claim to be more concerned about the environment than someone like me that devices a plan that has a better chance of success, than the never going to work plan they are pushing.
Also, an incremental plan, does not need government subsidies, because you're not trying to sell people a product they can't afford without the government subsidies.

Not classified vaccinated as vaccinated regardless of the 14 day "grace period" invalidates the findings.
Those that are vaccinated, have a greater risk of having an adverse affect to the vaccine as their body adjusts to the drug. As a result, those that were in an accident due to having a medical episode because of the drug, then those accidents are being applied to the wrong cohort.
The dead at the scene are most likely excluded because they are members of the vaccinated cohort, and by excluding those numbers, the desired propaganda result is achieved.
The findings are highly questionable and must be construed as false due to excluding those groups that were excluded, and by not classifying as vaccinated, those that had been vaccinated.
There is one other reason to consider the findings false.
Over the past 6 years, the marxist left have been lying to us for the sole purpose of controlling our actions and bringing us down to absolute despotism. Thus, the fact that the data is not readily available for peer review, one must conclude that the individual that came up with the findings has an ulterior motive for coming up with the findings.

"(I am a conservative politically, so don't call me libtard)."
I don't believe that I have ever called anyone libtard. I tend to resort to calling those on the left educated idiots as they are educated, yet reamain the idiots they were before they received their education.
"I am a Hindu, so you think I'll go to hell? Prager himself is a Jew, so will he go to hell as well?"
There is only one passport into heaven and that is through the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of those that believe on His name and ask Him to be the Lord and Savior of their life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Contrary to what some believe; Jesus Christ is not a man that ascended and became a god.
Jesus Christ the word of God; is God come in the flesh. He was God before the foundation of the world. He was God while He dwelt upon the earth as a man and after His resurrection and ascension into heaven; He remains God to this day and throughout eternity. All who reject this fact of who Jesus Christ is; do not believe on the name of the only begotten Son of God. They believe on a fake Jesus, and a fake god.
John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2: The same was in the beginning with God.
3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4: In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Many take offense at the claims and assertions of Jesus Christ. They take offense for one of two reasons:
1) They are arrogant and have deceived themselves into thinking that they are able to obtain righteousness. These take offense because they are not willing to give up their pride for an eternal life of peace, joy and happiness.
2) They have an evil heart and are not willing to give up their evil ways for an eternal life of peace, joy and happiness.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is none righteous; no not one.
Romans 3:10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:19: For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
With the exception of Christianity; all religions require one to do works in order to obtain heaven whereas Christianity requires one to obtain heaven by faith through grace in order for one's works to be counted worthy of a reward.
Ephesians 2:8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

I see two problems with the pronuclear transfer procedure.
1) The obvious questionable ethics of needlessly ending a potential life .
2) The obvious waste of energy that goes into needlessly fertilizing two ova.
Why go through the extra step.
The spindle transfer is both more efficient and not so unethical in it's nature.
In regards to future generations, the day is coming when none of man's scientific interventions will be needed, used or permitted.
After Christ returns, there will be a huge change in the health of people the world over to such a degree that Isaiah tells us that there will be no more an infant of days.
The waters of the dead sea will be healed and a fishing industry will develop on the dead sea. Israel will export healing waters that come from the temple, and food in abundance to the nations for healing.
Isaiah 65:20: There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
Ezekiel 47:7: Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8: Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9: And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10: And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
Ezekiel 47:12: And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

I purchased an ATOPNUC for around $100, It came with 8 gig of ram and Ubuntu desktop installed on a 128 gig ssd drive.
Very good price, but I'm not so sure it was worth all the frustration of setting the thing up as a local server.
It took me 2 or 3 days to do, what I could do with windows in about an hour if there are difficulties.
Linux aficionados will claim that this is my fault for the lack of experience and knowledge. In truth, this is the fault of the Linux community that insists on command prompt everything and GUI nothing.
I have been looking at Linux systems since 1998 and until recently, I did not have a computer that was powerful enough to deal with the resource demands of Linux.
Now that I do have such a system, I can safely say that; if I had been working on an operating system for 25 years, and claiming that my operating system is better than the most widely used system on the market; "windows", and despite all those years of hard work and boasting, a new user could not set up a workgroup network share as quickly and easily as he can do it on the "inferior windows" system, and had to spend not hours but days searching the web in order to actually find the information online, that enabled him to do so; I would be so embarrassed, I would have to resign from working on said operating system.
It's too bad that some of the official representatives of Linux and those in the community that have clout, are just as dishonest and deceptive as the official representatives of big tech.

As far as I'm concerned. Those individuals that are seeking to make a law respecting an establishment of religion, and prohibit the free exercise there of: are not Americans.
They are traitors, adhering themselves to the enemies of the United States and giving them aid and comfort.
No true and valid American, seeks to overturn, or violate the inalienable rights of the people, or to diminish in any way, the authority of the Constitution as the Supreme law of the land.
The left are not American. They may very well be citizens of the United States, but they are most certainly not: Americans.
Article III.
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
Article. VI.
All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

"The problem is just when the reveiwers are stupid as heck but think it is you."
The term "common sense" comes to mind.
2 + 2 = 4 is not common sense.
At least not the way most people use the term.
2 + 2 = 4 is educated sense.
You must be taught how to add, before you can add 2 + 2 and get 4.
This is the case with most things that are declared to be common sense.
An individual that grows up on a farm, will have knowledge that an individual crowing up in a city will not have. What is common sense on the farm, is not street sense in the city. The end result is that from both individual's perspective, the other one is stupid and they are both right as well as being both wrong.
Declaring a thing to be common sense is in fact deriding an individual for not being taught something that one believes should be commonly taught or should be commonly known.
All disagreements between people are the result of one of them assuming that the other one has their same exact point of view, perspective and knowledge and therefore; they should know what is meant by what is are said. And then, rather than refining one's communication, one refuses to refine one's communication, and becomes offended by the fact that the other person does not have the exact same point of view.
I was discussing a religious topic with an individual back in my early 20's. There appeared to be a disagreement. Then it occurred to me that we are simply using different terminology to say the same thing. I confirmed what he meant by what he said and he acknowledged his position. Then I said, that's what I am say only with different words. His response was; "No your not".
He absolutely refused to accept the fact that words have synonyms that mean the same thing. A ghost is a spirit, and a spirit is a ghost; yet some people will argue that they are not the same thing. The only way to communicate with idiots like that, is to figure out what their terminology is, and use it rather than the alternative.

The other day I was thinking about how the W.H.O. is attempting to gain control over all the member states that entered into the WHO treaty and I questioned;
Is it possible that the great whore in Revelation 17 is the WHO?
If we take the re off the end of the word and place it separate at the beginning of the word we get;
re who.
Could whore be a reference; "re", to the WHO?
If the modifications of the treaty go through, the WHO will be sitting upon many waters and be ruling over just about every nation, if not every nation on earth.
Just a tid bit more hear.
Fornication in the scriptures can refer to spiritual corruption and idolatry.
As we have seen since 2020, when they say follow the science, what they mean is disregard the science and do exactly what I say.
Is it possible that the WHO becomes mystery Babylon?
Revelation 17:1: And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3: So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4: And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Revelation 17:5: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:15: And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Revelation 17:16: And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Revelation 19:2: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

The democrats demanding that Senators be unbiased is unconstitutional.
In the American Judicial system, the accused is: INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN guilty.
This INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN fact; requires that every individual that sits on a jury in a case, whether criminal or civil, has a fiduciary responsibility to be biased in favor of the defense. Thus, the assumption that a person is guilty because he or she was arrested and charged is unlawful, unconstitutional and criminal.
This same burden of proof is required during an impeachment trial as well. Hence, the President is innocent until proven guilty.
In all justice, the case should and ought to be dismissed with prejudice as the allegations are set forth with no real evidence to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt. In fact, if such a case were set before a judge in a court of law, a just judge, would dismiss the case with prejudice by reason of the fact that assuming a persons intent, does not prove a persons intent. No judge worth his robes, would entertain an allegation in which, the totality of the allegations, and the evidence presented, necessitates the prosecutions ability to flawlessly read the mind of the accused.

Americans are skeptical of client change not because of bad science, but because of the lies and destructive policies of the environmentalist movement that serve no other benefit than the economic destruction of the United States.
Facts:
1) Despite the fact that President Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris climate accords, The United States has reduced it's carbon foot print beyond what the accords required by moving to natural gas.
2) Despite having voluntarily surpassed what the accords required, environmentalists continue to accuse the United States of being the sole guilty party of "climate change" and demanding that the United States adopt energy policies that serve no other benefit than to enrich and empower the enemies of the United States.
3) The United States reducing it's carbon footprint even further serves no useful benefit as both China and India are negating the reductions by bringing more and more coal burning plants on line. And guess who do the environmentalist blame for the lack of reduction in carbon in the atmosphere? The United States.
Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf?
Today, that's the environmentalist movement.
They are demanding that United States adopt energy production policies that have proven to fail not only in the State of Texas, but in other countries like Germany that had transitioned to wind and solar far more than the US has.
When the Texas grid nearly collapsed due to the "once in a 100 years" deep freeze they experienced, people died. A 10 year old boy froze to death while sleeping in his bed.
What it comes down to is this. Every lie told to the American people that is subsequently and proven a lie by real life events; discredits the environmentalist movement and climate change advocates. You can claim science all you want, but if your science does not work in real life and ends up killing people, your science is bad and not to be trusted. That's where the environmentalist movement is right now. Bad science.
Twenty years ago environmentalists could have lobbied Congress to move the US auto fleet over to hybrid autos. If they had done that, all it would take to move autos over to a carbonless fuel source is the development of a drop in replacement technology.
Did they do that?
No, they wasted all their time money and energy pushing policies that do not work when the temperatures drop down to freezing.
Climate change advocates are nothing but disingenuous liars pushing failed tech even after the tech has been prove a failure.
Climate change advocates cannot be take seriously, they have a hate America, destroy America, enslave the world mentality.
So yeah, Americans are skeptical of climate change theories, but then, those theories are coming from people that have proven themselves to be enemies of the United States. That's not being irrational, that's recognizing the end results of all the policies being demanded.

"You were taught to hate yourself because "you're trash" according to the ultra loving creator that made you."
The only begotten Son of the loving creator God did not die for trash.
He died to redeem men whom He says is more valuable than sparrows.
Matthew 10:29: Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30: But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31: Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
" Interesting. Religion does that. Science does the opposite. I believe in peace, the scientific method, asking questions, listening to answers, going to the experts for things I don't understand."
You are lying.
You won't go to God for things you don't understand and not only is He expert in all things, He invite you to come and reason with Him.
Isaiah 1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
"I believe in caring about others and sometimes sacrifice my well-being for the well being of others (I can tell you how I became homeless)."
Again, you have lied.
You said you are not religious yet, you sacrifice for those in need as one that practices pure religion.
James 1:27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
"And yet, with all these socially conscious and moral views I have, I am an atheist."
"Yet religion teaches us that we are trash."
Which religion teaches you that you are trash, it is certainly not Christianity.
And you cannot find anything that teaches that in the Bible.
There are statements referring to specific people as being worthless, but then, that was the character of those people.
"That we must follow arbitrary rules such as unfiltered nonstop eternal worship and adoration."
Everything has arbitrary rules of unfiltered nonstop eternal worship and adoration. Socialism, communism, marxism, in some cases monarchism. Only God in heaven is worthy of such and He seeks those that will worship Him in spirit and in truth.
"It often teaches immoral things such as deferred or even redirected accountability (such as the crucifixion of jesus)."
The crucifixion of Jesus is not redirected accountability.
The crucifixion of Jesus is the pure blood sacrifice that the law requires in order for men to approach and be reconciled to their creator God in heaven.
All the animal sacrifices in the Jewish Temple were pointing to this one man, the only begotten Son of God that would come and give His life for us so that our clear and obvious tendency to sin, would not damn us to an eternity away from Him.
This is not teaching a redirection of accountability.
This is teaching forgiveness and remission of sins.
Matthew 26:28: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Luke 24:47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
1John 4:9: In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10: Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11: Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Do you really want to argue about sin?
Do you really really want to play this game?
You're not as clever as you think you are.
In fact, because you think you are so clever, you do not realize that you are deceived and have fallen for one of Satan's evil tricks.
You are so blinded by the wrongs that evil people do, that you cannot see, and refuse to see; the good that righteous people do.
God has already declared what is and is not sin.
Go by that.

"same promise for thousands of years."
"If you know anything about the art of war, wilderness survival, hunting, politics, parenting, or relationships, you'd realize that people lash out when they start losing."
People don't lash out just when they are losing.
Ask any counselor, and they will tell you that the people they are trying to help; tend to lash out at them.
It's sort of like terminating medical staff because they won't take a drug that has kill many thousands of people.
"And those damn left wing bastards respecting election results, playing with makeup, having colorful fabrics on a pole, getting vaccinated and not attacking government buildings. I swear the left will be the downfall of a society that holds onto values of the past. Like racist slavery. Like human sacrifice. Like being allowed to beat and oppress women."
You are allowing the left to deceive you.
The Judeo-Christian values are the reason that America has made so much progress in getting rid of slavery, racism and oppression of women.
It was Christians Pastors that stood up and preached against slavery.
That preaching is what brought about the birth of the Republican party.
The democrats preferred slavery over liberation and because they were fearful that one day enough non slave states would exist to pass a constitutional amendment to end slavery, they receded from the Union. However, they to this day will claim that the civil war was over state's rights.
"Like going to a building every Sunday and listening to some stranger tell you how you're trash."
I used to attend church on a regular basis; I never heard any preacher tell me that I am trash. Unless you are talking about a song called Amazing Grace.
"Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saves a wretch like me."
That song is about how amazing God's grace is in that He sacrificed and paid the price for our redemption.
"Man those values are going away and the CONSERVative side is fighting against the LIBERal side."
That's because the LIBERAL side voted for the marxist that are working so hard to destroy the United States.
"Will we be able to liberate the liberals and conserve the values that brought us countless wars?"
If I walked up to you on the street and without warning slapped you in the face, did your values bring you that assault?
Or was I just being and evil bastard?
Not standing up for Conservative values will bring war sooner than later.
Why, because the left will start that war just as they have waged war and murdered innocent people in countless cities across the United States during 2021 without just cause or provocation. All in the name of equality and justice.
Whether you stand up for conservative values or seek to relinquish them in an act of appeasement, you will find yourself at war. The acts of appeasement was the standard political operating procedure prior to WWII. Everyone wanted to appease Hitler and Nazi Germany. All that did was give them the notion that the allies were weak and unwilling to fight.
Right now, the policies of Joe Biden have brought the world closer to war because he has shown himself to be a weak leader. Because he has done this; Russia, China, North Korea and Iran have all become threatening. Why shouldn't they? The big kid on the block is too afraid to stand up and protect their allies.
Rather than remain focused on all that is wrong in the world,
how about you ask Jesus to forgive you of your sin, reveal Himself to you and help you see His truth and His light?
As annoyed as you may be at the state of the world; this state is temporary and won't last very long, even though it may seem long for those that choose to go through the worst by not asking Jesus Christ for salvation and the remission of sins.

Pretty stupid.
"Independence from Britain: 1776
Independence from Israel: 2024"
It's both ignorant and stupid to say "Independence from Israel" given the fact that Israel will be the world Hegemon in the future.
Not only will Israel be the world hegemon, the LORD Jesus Christ will be King over all the earth and His throne and capital will be in Jerusalem Israel.
The awesome thing about Jesus Christ being king over all the earth is that there will be no more wars, no more hunger, and no more stupid politicians that conspire to make war and embezzle billions of dollars to pad their own pockets.
I think it is stupid for anyone to claim that the Jews are trying to take over the earth when in fact, the majority of them would like to be left a lone to live in their State of Israel.
The Jews are not conspiring to take over the world; God is and we are living in that time when Jesus Christ will return to the earth and reign as king over all the earth.
These things are prophesied by Zechariah and other Old Testament prophets. Here are four verses in Zechariah 14 that speak of these things.
Zechariah 14:9: And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Zechariah 14:14: And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Zechariah 14:16: And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:17: And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

Robert Ramsey
"and people in major cities keep buying what they are selling. I wonder how long it takes someone to realize they are getting the shaft? Apparently more than 50 years."
It is quite possible that they cannot realize they are getting the shaft.
God says through the prophet Isaiah:
Isaiah 66:1: Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2: For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Speaking of the Temple sacrifices God says:
Isaiah 66:3: He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
The penalty for not loving and refusing the truth:
Isaiah 66:4: I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Speaking of this the Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians regarding our the wicked:
Thessalonians 2:7: For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth(restrains) will let(restrain), until he be taken out of the way.
8: And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
The penalty for not loving and refusing the truth:
Thessalonians 2:10: And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
What is very disturbing is the fact that, in his book the Harbinger, Jonathan Cahn shows that; beginning with Bill Clinton's election to the Presidency, the United States began walking down the same path to destruction as the ancient northern kingdom of Israel did, when king Ahab and his wife Jezebel ruled the throne of ancient Israel.
America is currently under judgment, yet God set Donald Trump in the presidency to remove much of the cancer that globalist administrations have infected the United States with for the past 50 years. The main reason that the mainstream media is so openly against President Trump, is because he has been succeeding in undoing the globalist policies, despite their opposition.
Time will tell whether or not they will wise up and realize they have been following a lie. Given their propensity to violence, it is more likely that they will start an insurrection after Trump wins re-elected and the military will have to put them down like the traitorous, rabid dogs they choose to be.

"Arabs. They were promised it"
Who promised them?
It sure was not God.
The land of Canaan was promised to Abram whom God named Abraham by a Covenant which God made with Abraham.
God called Abram out of the land of Ur of the Chaldees when Abram was 75 years old.
Genesis 11:31: And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Genesis 12:1: Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
Genesis 12:4: So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5: And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
God made Abram a promise of a son named Isaac by his wife Sarai. At that time, God named Abram; Abraham and Sarai God named Sarah.
Genesis 17:1: And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
17:2: And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Not only did God promise Abraham a son named Isaac, God promised to establish His covenant with Isaac, the promised son.
Genesis 17:19: And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
Genesis 17:20: And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Genesis 17:21: But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Genesis 21:3: And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4: And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
There is no promise given to the Arabs of any part of the land of Israel which God gave unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who is Israel.
No promise made to the Arabs by man is valid because the Land belongs to God and not man, and God has promised that land to the nation of Israel.
Those that oppose Israel possessing all the land that God promised to Israel, are in opposing God and shall fall by the wayside. None of their efforts against Israel shall prosper endlessly because it is the Lord God almighty that stands with Israel; to reprove Israel, and to try Israel, and to bring Israel completely into the kingdom of God on earth. And that day is quickly approaching and shall come to pass.

"group #2 - the idiots who started the violence - you don’t consider them to be Trump supporters. Do they consider themselves to be trump supporters?"
Did the actions that day in any way resolve the question of election fraud? No it did not. The evidence was not examined. There is a court that is examining their States election machines to determine if there was fraud or a malfunction. That is how you dispel any questions of election fraud. You do not dispel questions of election fraud by declaring that those bringing the law suit do not have standing in the court of law which is an unconstitutional ruling.
In fact, those actions did exactly the opposite of what Trump supporters wanted done. The machines examined and audited properly to determine whether they were used fraudulently or not.
Those not willing to have the machines examined; are in fact admitting that the machines were used to violate election laws and conduct a fraudulent election.
Even when a person considers oneself to be a supporter of someone; their consideration is factually irrelevant. The outcome of their actions however, is more telling of what and who they support.
There are a lot of people that consider themselves to be Christians yet are as unsaved as the atheist that declares that there is no God. They are Christian in name only. When they stand before Christ, He will declare to them; "Depart from me ye workers of iniquity. I never new you".
Matthew 7:18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

"YouTube keeps removing my comment with the URL... "
I've had the same problem.
They call it removing fake news.
You shouldn't be trying to post fake news about Trump on YouTube. LOL
Actually, I'm not for sue about this but I think they may have enacted a no links policy; but you will have to post a link to a video on a kids channel to verify that.
"The point you should take is this: denying everything you hear about Trump is just as delusional as believing everything you hear about him"
Oh really?
Last year someone posted a comment claiming that a certain preacher denied the power of the blood of Christ. Not just a heresy in Christianity but blasphemy. I asked for a link to the video. The poster proceeded to rebuke me for being lazy and demanded that I search the web for this alleged violation of a Christian Pastor.
My response to that and any allegation an accuser is not willing to provide evidence to support is to flatly reject it and dismiss it. It is the accuser's responsibility to prove their case and never the responsibility of hearer to go about wasting time proving an allegation is true when the alleged violation may not exist.
A week went past and another post from a different user claimed to be a second witness to this event. It was probably the same person using a different user name.
A week after that, two weeks from the initial accusation; that very pastor posted a video on his channel doing exactly the opposite of what he was accused of doing.
This is why I always ask for a link to the evidence of an accusation. The democratic house spent four years lying about an alleged Russian collusion between Trump and Russia.
After all the evidence was finally released, it turned out that the FBI knew at the beginning of those four years that the whole thing was a hoax and had the falsified evidence to prove it.
In my view, after that and so many more lies spread against people for the sole purpose of destroying their incomes and lives; any accusation including those against Trump, must be taken with a great deal of skepticism.
There is one exception to this rule however; anyone that spends four years accusing and lying to the public about the President of the United States has proven themselves to be habitual liars. Thus, any accusation of wrong doing against them is likely valid and true.
Their longstanding practice requires one to be very wary and assume the traitors, as they are now proving themselves to be, are guilty as accused. That's not to say we don't allow them the opportunity to prove their innocence. Given the fact that they want to impose that kind of justice system on America; we must give them the opportunity to experience their unjust system first hand and attempt to prove their innocence.
"Just search YouTube for “Trump proud boys” and it’s the 1st hit... it was a presidential debate, it’s not exactly hard to find."
OK, I watched it.
Trump told proud boys to stand down at the behest and prompting of the moderator. That does not make him the leader of the white supremacist. It does make you a false witness.
You have proven yourself to be an evil lying leftist, an enemy of the United States.

"As opposed to 100% from carbon producing heat? 70% from a source that's pretty clean, or 100% from a source that's definitely not. What's the choice?"
Electric power is no cleaner than carbon based fuels as 90% of electricity is produced by using carbon based fuels.
Coal and oil are used to produce the electricity to mine the material needed to build solar panels and turbines.
It's not even close to be relatively clean.
The relatively cleanness of it, is a lie.
The technology is not mature enough to provide the amount of electricity that is in current demand, it will be less so in the future when the demand for electricity doubles because the idiots in charge got rid of oil, gas, coal and all other forms of CO2 producing energy.
It's not possible to transfer from carbon energy to carbon-less energy in a short period of time, and that without a plan.
Give it another 100 to 200 years with an implemented plan that transitions the energy sector to clean energy, and you may have a chance of getting it done. It's only a chance because there is bound to be a group of corrupt, greedy politicians, that will throw a monkey wrench into the well implemented plan to cause it to break. Unless you make such actions a criminal act subject to a charge of treason and punished by death with no alternative punishments.
It's a war, and your life is on the line. The side you are on, is the side of those that want you and your children, if you have any, dead.
Unfortunately, you choose to be blind rather than think on things with real world facts in hand and plan accordingly.

"That way you phrase that, it's as if activists have the power to augment the electric grid. Wtf are they supposed to do?"
Experts say that we have to double the capacity of the electric grid for it to be able to handle the demands of a full electric fleet of automobiles.
I disagree with their knowledgeable position. I say we have to triple it. Keep something in mind. It is not possible to trible or double the capacity of the electric grid in the short time that activists demand that we be transitioned to full what is not truly green energy.completely
"No one is doing anything because no one will lift a finger unless they make money on it. More demand for electricity will cause private concerns to generate more electricity via supply and demand. There's a logic to it."
This is actually false. Just because there is a higher demand, does not mean there will be a higher supply. In fact, by shutting down coal and natural gas powered electricity plants prematurely, it is impossible for private concerns to generate more electricity.
Under capitalist system, the rich test and implement new technologies over time. They have the discretionary cash flow to do so.
If a person has the money to pay for a $500,000, you have the liberty to choose to do so. The only people that have a problem with that individual, spending their money like that are the envious and greedy cohorts that refuse to find a legal way to earn that kind of money.
When it comes to the so called green energy, the only people that are able to afford the cost of the equipment are those that can pay $500,000 for an automobile. However, rather than spending their own money to purchase that equipment, they get tax write offs and rebates for doing so. That means that the people who cannot afford to purchase that equipment, even with those tax write offs and rebates, are being forced to give their tax dollars to those that do not need those subsidies and can afford that equipment even without those subsidies.
A proper plan does not allow such things to happen. A proper plan takes into consideration the fact that the majority of money spent on solar and wind, goes into China's bank accounts and benefits the CPC, but does not benefit the United States.
The Constitution does not allow these policies to exist constitutionally, because policies that benefit the enemies of the United States above the United States, falls under the second definition of treason in the Constitution which is; Adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort.
The whole environmental activist movement, is levying war against the United States. This is evident by the fact that even though the United States has reduced it's carbon foot print below the levels that would have been expected under the Paris accords, the activists are demanding that the United States reduce its' carbon footprint even more all the while ignoring the fact that both India and China, are reportedly adding a coal burning plant on line every single day to provide for their electrical power needs.
The United States does not have any more capacity in the form of carbon reduction, that it is able to reduce. What is being demanded, is that the American people commit economic and national suicide and destroy themselves to save a world that does not give a damn about the environment.
America is not the greatest polluters on earth, India and China are.

"If the lines are not made of copper, why would you need any more copper for the grid?"
Why would the lines not be made of copper?
Copper is currently the best conductor in use.
You're forgetting the copper needed for both wind turbines and solar panels which are said, cannot be made with recycled copper, and must be made with new copper.
"I think you heard wrong. The only extra copper would be for electric car motors and it is recycled. With a car with a 48V system for lights etc., the copper usage actually goes down."
Copper usage would not go down with a 48 volt system. For the same wattage output, thicker cables have to be used in order to deal with the heat that comes from the higher amperage draw that results from a lower voltage to obtain the same performance.
The EV1 had a "312-volt (18.7 kWh, 67.3 MJ) Panasonic lead–acid battery pack" and a "NiMH battery, rated at 77 Ah with 343 volts (26.4 kWh, 95.0 MJ)".
I did a search and found this blurb:
"Many electric vehicle makers are transitioning from 400-volt to 800-volt systems for faster charging and higher efficiency"
https://www.engineering.com/story/high-voltage-vehicles-why-800-volt-evs-are-on-the-rise
The real problem is not going to EVs. The real problem is that the transition to EVs is being pushed by a dictatorial marxist regime rather than allowing the market to bring about the transition naturally.
When a technology is being forced upon the people and then people see that it cannot handle the demands that they put on it, the people stop accepting that technology as valid and acceptable. So rather than benefiting the transition to the technology in the long run, the government's regulation ends up delaying the transition for 20-40 years because people getting stranded on the highway has a greater influence on them than elected officials they can vote out of office.

Sounds like the WHO is the great whore of Revelation.
Revelation 17:1: And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Revelation 17:15: And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Revelation 17:16: And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Revelation 19:2: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

The destruction of people's trust in government comes down to it being the people's fault.
Government did not fail with regards to the pandemic.
The people occupying government offices and positions, including those that were elected by the people, failed the people.
Throughout the world including the United States, people have been brainwashed into believing that having a moral upstanding character is not relevant to being qualified to hold an elected position or to have a job in government.
What the pandemic has shown us is that it is absolute imperative for those holding positions in government, to have a strong moral character as it is only those types of people that will ultimately resist lies and false narratives put forth by marxist seeking to take over nations and the world.
It is only when government is populated with patriots and individuals with a strong moral character, that government stands a chance of doing it's job and protecting the rights of the people against totalitarian despots that will sell access to their position, to the highest bidder.
Government didn't fail the people, the people failed the government in that they were only concerned to elect into office, those individuals that promised them free handouts and services at the cost of the wealth of others. Individuals that are there to represent themselves, rather than represent the constituents and their God given, unalienable rights, as well as the democratic ideas that the West represents.

The first continental army casualty in the American Revolutionary war was a Jew. When a Representative or Senator in Congress, makes antisemitic statements of hatred against Jews, they are in fact dishonoring the memory of all the Jews that have fought and died not just in the American Revolutionary war, but throughout the history of the United States of America.
Supporting the enemies of the United States is not protected by the First Amendment.
Supporting terrorists and the enemies of the United States is adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort and IS NOT protected by the freedom of speech clause in the First Amendment.
Refusing to enforce immigration laws and allowing terrorists to enter the United States, is levying war against the United States. It is adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort.
It is not the prerogative of an elected Representative, Senator, or President to levy war against the United States. It is not the prerogative of an elected Representative, Senator, or President to adhere to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort.
Doing these things in word and in deed, is treason.
United States Constitution
Article III. - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 – Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

"Jesus didn't really comment of the economy per se, but he very clearly believed in living life free of material wealth and doing things for others
"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." - Matthew 19:21"
Many self proclaimed righteous get that wrong.
You do greatly err not knowing the scriptures. Because you do not know the scriptures; you pick and choose whatever verses you need to support what you desire to be true.
It is not proper to make a doctrine based solely on a single verse in the Bible.
The reason Jesus said that to that particular individual is because that particular individual had an idol in his heart that stood in the way of his right standing with God. That idol was his wealth. He therefore needed to get rid of the wealth in order to turn away from the false god and idol worship in his heart.
Capitalism
Job 42:10: And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
The generosity of others.
Socialism confiscates all wealth and does not permit individuals to have an abundance over and above their need so that they can give to others, let alone have enough to meet their need.
Job 42:11: Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
Again mentioning the wealth and abundance that Job had.
Job 42:12: So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13: He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14: And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
15: And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16: After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17: So Job died, being old and full of days.
Peter asks Jesus what they shall have for forsaking all to follow Jesus.
Matthew 19:27: Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28: And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29: And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30: But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Mark 10:28: Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29: And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
30: But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
31: But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
Your claim that Jesus did not support capitalism is a false claim based on a single verse that is taken out of the context within which it took place.

"you're wrong.
It has everything to do with it.
During the enlightment the freedom fighters were all thoose who wanted the separation of the church and the state, the founding fathers wanted a separated church from the state.
Also all the churches (especially in europe) sided with the feudal landlords and with the absolute monarchs, they justified their tyranny with their judeo-christian values."
Anyone that justifies tyranny with Judeo-Christian values does not have Judeo-Christian values. They have nothing more than a form of godliness all the while denying the power of godliness.
This is not surprising given the fact that Paul prophesied that such as these type would come. Not only have they come in these last days as we approach the return of Christ, but they have come throughout history as wicked people will use anything at hand in order to gain a profit or to manipulate others to take advantage of them to satisfy their own lusts and covetousness.
2Timothy 3:1: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2: For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3: Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4: Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Jude 1:4: For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

"The typical no true scotsman fallacy.
Weird that when christians were in power that was during the dark ages."
You confuse Christianity with religion.
There is a big difference between the two.
Religion puts upon people so many oppressive rules that one is removed from serving God.
Christianity liberates people from religious oppression so that they can serve God by 1st believing in Christ as Lord and savior; thereby receiving the indwelling of the Holy Spirit; and then being led by the Spirit to obey the true commandments of God.
While there are rules to live by in Christianity; those rules are not so oppressive that one must believe, contrary to the evidence that exists in the sun, the moon and the stars; that the earth is flat.
True Christianity does not oppress nor prevent prosperity. True Christianity enables prosperity.
Paul himself testifies of the wealth of the Corinthian church.
1Corinthians 4:8: Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9: For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10: We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
Then contrasts that with his own suffering.
1Corinthians 4:11: Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12: And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
Paul admonished the Thessalonians to work not on in his first epistle to them but his second as well.
This is far from socialism.
It is working for a living.
1Thesslonians 4:11: And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12: That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
2Thessalonians 3:7: For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8: Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
Socialism and corporatism does not permit allowing one to go hungry for lack of work.
Capitalism and individualism does allow one to go hungry for lack of work; however, it is poor form to demand that people have such power over their circumstances as to never be unemployed. That is in fact; an unrealistic and delusional fantasy that is a policy governed by hatred which is often born by false witnesses to be; "tough love".
2Thessalonians 3:10: For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11: For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12: Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13: But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14: And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

"You're literally contradicting yourself: Your passage from Matthew is him explaining how everyone who gave up all their lives for him will go to heaven...as does his common in Mark about "the first shall be the last and the last the first"...he preached "riches" of the afterlife, not material wealth...he is rewarding people after the fact"
The reason you say that is because you do not understand that God rules His kingdom by principles.
Where one sows and reaps in this world, one sows in this world and reaps in the kingdom of God provided one is believer in Christ, born again, and thereby a citizen of the kingdom of God.
Luke 6:38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Will everyone that believes and obeys God in this world become rich?
Absolutely not!
There is in fact a purpose for the poor.
Some are poor for the sole purpose of testing those that are rich to see if they love the Lord their God to obey His commandments.
Deuteronomy 15:10: Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
11: For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
Job spoke of individualism. He spoke of mutual respect for his fellow man whether they be rich or poor yet; Job himself was rich.
Job 34:19: How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
Jesus rebuked those that criticized a woman that poured an alabaster box of very precious ointment upon His head. They became indignant declared it a waste. Yet, Jesus upheld the woman's right to do with her wealth what she chose to do and rebuked them for their criticism. This act, which others claimed to be a waste; is capitalism.
Matthew 26:6: Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7: There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8: But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9: For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10: When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
Matthew 26:11: For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
13: Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

" "christianity liberates people from religious opression so that they can SERVE god"
If you're free you serve no one.
That's my problem with religion (christianity is a religion) you're just a servant you have to serve God or you're going to hell."
That is true; but I have news for you. I don't have children so this should be very eye opening to you.
If I had only one Son, and my one and only Son sacrificed his life for a group of people to save them; and members of that group of people despised and criticized my son; I would be looking to put those individuals in the grave and as far away from me as can be achieved. But those that revered and respected my son for his sacrifice in saving them; those I would count as friends and not enemies. I would certainly not allow them entry into my home or my kingdom if I had one.
If any man has a differing point of view; that man needs to turn in his man card. He is a pathetic looser, a disgrace to his gender.
You have to answer 4 for the equation 2 + 2 = or your teacher will mark it wrong. Whether a freeman or a man in bondage, you are serving someone.
If you are employed, you are serving your employer in exchange for gain.
If a man is married, he is serving his wife.
If a woman is married, she is serving her husband.
Children serve their parents and parents serve their children.
The reality of life is that as much as it offends our ideals of liberty and freedom; we are all servants to someone. If you are not serving God you are serving God's enemy the devil. You may claim to be neutral, but in this war between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of hell; there is no neutral position.
But God has given us provision through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, and empowered us to choose to be for Him rather than be against Him in opposition to our best interests.
Matthew 12:30: He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Matthew 23:13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Luke 11:23: He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

"Again, none of this has anything to do with capitalism. He's telling people not to judge or steal from others, he's not preaching an economic system. You said it yourself, "mutual respect for the fellow man"...this has nothing to do with capitalism, read your Luke quote again, he's telling people if they're good to others, they'll be rewarded in return. He's not talking about people's wealth."
Let us look at Luke 6:38.
"Give,"
Lets use a kernel of corn planted in the ground to illustrate giving.
"and it shall be given unto you;"
The kernel of corn becomes a plant and grows. It begins to give back to you.
"good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,"
When the plant matures, you do not have your kernel of corn back; you have a multiplication and an increase back. This is capitalism demonstrated in nature which was created by Jesus Christ.
"shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
Only in this regard; Jesus is telling us if we give or sow into men, we will reap a multiplication and increase from men.
This is the capitalist system.
Your refusal to recognize capitalism in the words; "pressed down, shaken together and running over" reveals that you have a biased against capitalism.

Dowsing is a real thing.
I've seen two videos now in which a land owner used a dowser to find water on the newly acquired property.
These days, not everyone that dowses for water use a forked stick.
Some use rods that are inserted into a sleeve they hold so as to isolate the rod from their hands and prevent subconscious manipulation.
The reason science can't test dowsing is because it does not fit within the five senses that science is able to test. Those five senses being; see, hear, smell, touch, and taste.
So why is it that sometimes a person is wrong when dowsing?
If those that are doing the testing are interfering with the dowser's norm, then the dowser may not be able to find water.
In addition, just as an athlete can have an off day, a dowser can have an off day.
The fact that science is not able to test or reproduce something, does not make it fake. Modern day technology is not able to reproduce the Shroud of Turin yet, people will dismiss it as being fake or a forgery.
Science is the observation of the natural world and is not able to observe the spiritual world.

"Agreed and let's not forget how getting lied to and bullied by psychopaths in control programs us to be fearful and unstable."
You may wish to reconsider using fearful and unstable.
After all, those psychopaths in control, call parents peacefully standing up against leftist transgenderism in public education, violent extremists.
If you are fearful of liars lying too you, and telling you to do things that have a good chance of ending your life, are you truly unstable?
Or are you having a very natural, defensive response to people demanding that you follow reckless policies that have a better chance of ending your life; than not following them?
It doesn't matter if it's someone telling you to: "take a step of faith", "don't eat the toxic food in the stores" or, "The jab is safe and effective". If following the policy leads to death faster than not following the policy, the one's demanding that you follow said policy, regardless their station in life, are out to get you and they have proven they are out to get you through their actions and their policies.

Senator Burris misquoted the Declaration of Independents of the Thirteen Colonies. The document actually reads:
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"
Why did Senator Burris leave out the reference to our creator.?
Why did Senator Burris leave out the reference that it is our creator that has given us our unalienable rights, and it is not government?
Why did Senator Burris leave out the fact that government derives it's just powers from the consent of the Governed, and that it is the governed that forms government, not government that forms the governed.
"—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World. "
As long as people refuse to accept, and promote all the principles that the founding fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independents, America will be at risk of falling back under totalitarian despotism and slavery.
The way to rise above any offense that brings anger into your heart and soul, is to forgive those that have offended you. As long as you refuse to forgive, you will be controlled by the anger that you hold onto. You will continue to be enslaved by the anger of slavery. But it is not the white man that enslaves you; it is you, it is your unwillingness to go before God and forgive the offenses of the past; that enslaves you.

"You're talking that 'forefathers' constitutional bullsh!t. During the signing of the US Constitution, any and all persons that were not free(enslaved) were considered to be 3/5ths of a human being. Nevertheless, you introduce this crap as if to say that the signers were 'reasonable' human beings capable of discerning the differences between right and wrong...possessing an innate sense of fairness. Several of the 'signers' were slave owners. We want/deserve reparations. GTFOH with your nonsense"
Reparations were paid to your people by those that laid down their lives in the civil war end slavery and win your freedom, and make slavery illegal with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865.
Yes, in 1865, a nation of white people that are accused of being systemically racist, ratified the 13th Amendment to make slavery and indentured servitude illegal in the United States.
You who are calling for reparations, are not a victim of slavery.
You are a victim of deception and delusion. The people that deceived and deluded you are the true racists. They are the leftist white and blacks you vote for every election day. Those individuals that on a daily basis, pass leftist, marxist laws and policies for the sole purpose of stripping you of your rights and turning your people back into slaves.
When you call for reparations, you are declaring to God in heaven that the Jubilee He gave to your people and paid for through the civil war, and the blood shed by white men killing white men, to win your freedom, is of no value.
That is a very bad attitude to present before the Almighty, for His righteous and just judgment of your attitude, may be to allow your enslavement.

"I bet that felt good, didn't it? Being that guy that no one wants to bring to parties"
I can best him at that.
I have a foolproof plan.
I'll just wait until Jesus Christ comes and transforms me into an incorruptible immortal that can never die.
Mark 12:24: And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25: For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
1Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54: So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
2Corinthians 3:17: Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
1Thessalonians 4:16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

"Lol sucks to be broke 😂 getting 8k is easy just save up don’t have kids and don’t eat food to get fat"
Anyone on SSI or living in HUD subsidized housing are not allowed to save more than $2000. If they do save more than $2000, it is counted against their income.
That amount was set in 1975 and was not tied to inflation, so it has remained that amount despite the inflation that has gone on these 50 years.
To put that in perspective; in 1975 and in the 1980's one could purchase a pretty good used automobile for $500 and drive it several years before needing to purchase another one.
Today, the same used automobile will cost at least $1500.
Add to that $1500 the down payment for insurance and any necessary repairs the vehicle may need and you are well past that $2000.
So if a person on SSI needs an automobile to do something like, oh I don't know, maybe get a job and back to work; that person cannot afford the auto and not only cannot get back to work, cannot afford to get back to work.
That by the way, is how the marxist left has been solving problems for over 50 years in the United States. They claim to be helping people, and then, they put obstacles in the way, that harms the people they claim to be helping.

"that’s your fault get out of that it’s obviously holding you down"
Because you blame the victim for the treachery perpetrated against them by liars and hypocrites. You will most certainly hear the Lord say unto you;
Matthew 5:20: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44: Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these(my brethren), ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

"When I expressed my opinion to a narrative believer, she said, "Yes, what about all those deaths?"
"Did you see those deaths?" I asked her, then she started to scold me."
This is the attitude of those that go through the tribulation in Revelation.
People refuse to repent from doing what is clearly, evil.
Revelation 9:20: And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Revelation 16:9: And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Revelation 16:11: And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

You're making much to do about nothing as is this prosecutor.
Why is it unlawful for the President of the United States, to require that the States, prior to certifying an election, investigate and insure that all allegations of impropriety in the election, are not as they appear.
A lot of improper actions were taken during the 2020 election.
In Detroit, republican observers were forced to stand outside the poling room while their democrat rivals were permitted to be inside the room. That placed them to far from the ballots to actually do their job.
Then, according to the observers, paper was placed over the windows so that they could not see the ballots. When they complained about this, the were forced to leave the polls by police.
Allegations like these should always be properly investigated by the State legislature prior to certifying an election. Without such investigations, to insure that the election was conducted lawfully and fairly, democracy does not work.
Then there's the claim that election data was sent over seas to Germany and processed prior to being accepted as valid. Why? Are Americans, who have been conducting fair and legal elections for well over 200 years, suddenly too stupid to count and validate votes?
Democrats alleged that the 2016 vote was stolen, no one deemed that an attempt to change the election.
It is not the obligation of the defense to prove innocence.
It is the obligation of the prosecution to prove guilt.
What that means is; no matter what kind of a motion the prosecution files with a judge, the defense attorney is going to file a counter motion.
Filing said counter motion does not constitute as some people wish to allege, wasting the judges time. The judges job and time is allocated for hearing both prosecution and defense. You are not guilty of something, simply because someone accused your actions of being guilty of a crime.
In regards to the prosecution's allegation that trump was threatening someone; the prosecution must prove that the words Trump spoke were in fact threatening.
People take offense too, and call threatening, anything that they disagree with. At least one women I'm aware of, of her own initiative and prompting, convinced a man to have sex with her and when he did not respond to a text message she sent him the next day, accused him of rape. What she was not aware of is that prior to agreeing to have sex with her, he recorded her on video asking him for sex.
The innocent until proven guilty clause in the Constitution is found in Article III Section 3 of the US Constitution under the heading of Treason. Not only does the government have to prove guilt, the government is not allowed to pass the guilt of a convict, onto their children or associates.
United States Constitution
Article III. - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 – Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Contrary to the belief of the socialist in the LA cap; talking about something doesn't mean you give a crap. All it means is that you are yapping your hole and exhaling words.
Giving a crap requires that one get grasp hold of truth and disavow all lies.
Socialism has never worked, nor will it ever work.
The future of the world will be a true capitalist society under the reign the king of kings and Jewish Messiah Jesus Christ.
In that day, there will be no other choices and all marxists, communists and socialists will be removed from the earth because they refuse to repent from stealing, robbing, murders, and all their totalitarian despotisms.
Anyone that truly cares will not be attempting to rob those that are down trodden, from the hope that one day, they too may be able to climb out of their abased state, work and grow into a state of abundance.
Socialism can never work because socialism robs God of His divine prerogative to have mercy on whom He will have mercy and to bless whom He will bless.
Exodus 33:19: And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
If God were a socialist, Job would not have been blessed twice as much as he had before his trial during which all that he had was stripped from him.
Job 42:10: And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11: Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12: So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
Marxist execute false judgment and do not show mercy or compassion to his brother. For no man is showing mercy or compassion to another man when he is robbing that man of his hope.
Marxist and marxism will not survive the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Zechariah 7:9: Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
Psalm 109:1: Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2: For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3: They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4: For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
Psalm 109:12: Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13: Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14: Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15: Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Psalm 109:16: Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17: As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

"If facts made a difference you wouldn’t still be defending your cult leader."
You are a hypocrite.
All the while you are accusing that @tinadarst5928 of defending his or her cult leader, you are defending your cult leader.
Are you so dull in mind that you do not understand that if you strip Trump of his right to a fair and speedy trial, you are stripping yourself of your right to a fair and speedy trial?
You are literally arguing for the overthrow of the Constitution of the United States because you don't like Trump.
If your defense attorney is not permitted to argue your case in a court of law, facts do not matter in that trial and that trial is unconstitutional and any verdict rendered in that trial by the judge, will be overturned by a superior court or the supreme court.
Now here's something you should consider; a judge that disregards a defendants rights under the Constitution is violating the law and can go to federal prison for doing so. The charge will be; Corruption of office, abuse of power, and most likely something I am not aware of.
Amendment 6 - Right to Speedy Trial, Confrontation of Witnesses. Ratified
12/15/1791.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

"AI can and will solve many of the problems that are associated with its development.
Climate change is happening either way, yet development of AI is our best opportunity for solving the issue among many others.
That being said, this is a terrible truth in the grand scheme of things because the risks of AI/ASI development are boundless and entirely inconceivable."
We don't need AI to solve the problems we have.
We need to keep people like the marxist left, who create more problems than they solve, out of government, out of influence, and out of power.
What is coming in the future with AI is not inconceivable.
It has been known since the Apostle John wrote the prophesy of the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Whoever owns and controls AI, will most likely turn out to be the beast of Revelation 13, which forces a global market, and digital currency on everyone so that no one can buy or sell accept they take his mark and agree to worship him as god.
Revelation 13:16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
For a period of 42 weeks, the beast will have absolute power, and those that believe in Jesus Christ, and refuse to take his mark, will be sought out and martyred for their faith in the name of Christ.
After that period of 42 weeks, Christ will return and cast the beast into the lake of fire. He will set up His kingdom and reign 1000 years during which there will be no wars.
These things were prophesied around 1935 years ago and are now coming to pass.

"Get a life, instead of celebrating holidays for fictional characters ."
The fact that you refuse to acknowledge the historical fact of Christ's birth, ministry, death and resurrection; and prefer to adhere to the brainwashing of your religious zealots, does not produce the need for anyone "get a life".
The fact of the matter is; I not only have a life, I have THE LIFE.
THE LIFE that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
I have the life that comes from believing on Him and in Him.
I have the life because I have accepted the absolute truth that God sent His one and only Son into the world as the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world, to die for man's sins.
That through His death, we who believe on His name and accept Him as our Lord and Savior, as our King and Sovereign, receive the remission of sins and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth.
That by His resurrection, we have a promise of resurrection and of a life that will not end.
John 11:25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
1) I have heard His small still voice call me by name.
2) I have seen Him defend me with my eye, as His invisible hand struck a charging dog that sought to do me harm.
3) I have dreamed dreams of future events that have come to pass.
None of these three things could happen if, as you so erroneously claim; the Holiday of Christmas was for a fictitious character.

"Grow up son, fairy tales are for children. Religion is a joke and the biggest con job ever."
You're the one that needs to grow up.
Atheism is for little children that are proud and arrogant and can't handle the truth.
"Fairy tales".
Jesus Christ is not a fairy tale.
"Religion is a joke"
"Religion; pure religion is never a joke.
James 1:27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
"and the biggest con job ever."
You cannot have the biggest imitation con job ever without there being the real thing to imitate.
The fakes and the con jobs do not disprove the existence of God as you erroneously believe. They in fact prove His existence.
Your problem is not that you disbelieve in religion, your problem is that you believe in the wrong religion.
Atheism is a religion.
The socialist leftist cancel culture is a religion.
It takes more faith to believe that the intricate design of the universe came about without intelligence than to believe that a creator God designed the Universe that way.
It takes more faith to believe in and seek to implement an economic system(socialism) that has failed to deliver it's promises 100% of the time it has been implemented in the past; than to follow a working system that has lifted millions out of poverty.
There is no question that there are religious leaders that abuse their positions and take advantage of the poor. I have been abused by them. However, I have also been abused by those that assume they are ultra spiritual when they demand that a preacher not make a living from preaching the gospel. People such as these are just as evil as those religious leaders that abuse their flock.
In fact, you are just as abusive of those religious leaders that take advantage of people as you yourself no doubt, does nothing to show forth good in the world.
So, rather than complaining about religious leaders that are hypocrites and going out and doing what they should do so that you can put them to shame, you complain that religion is a con job. That makes you a bigger hypocrite than those you accuse of being fake!
The abuse however, does not disprove God's existence.
The abuse not only proves God's existence, it proves what God has said about the mankind; "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God", "There is non righteous, no not one" , "There is none that does good".
Romans 3:10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:12: They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
There are four verses that speak of atheism specifically.
This is how God views those that say, there is no God.
Psalms 14:1: The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 14:3: They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psalms 53:1: The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 53:3: Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

"You are an adult. Act like one."
Why are you lashing out?
Stop being childish.
Like the marxist left, you accuse people of doing what you are in fact the one doing.
"There is no evidence for any supernatural being."
I have seen the cloud of God and stood in His very presence.
In a vision, I have beheld the coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven and the catching away of His bride the Church.
I have dreamed dreams that were foretelling the future and those dreams came to pass.
I have seen the invisible hand of God strike a charging dog in the side.
My experiences with God, in both dreams and visions is evidence enough for me to know that there is a God.
The very DNA structure in biology contains a digital programming code that enables life to exist and live. Digital languages do not exist unless an intelligence has created them. That intelligence not only designed our bodies but the entire universe for the sole purpose of creating the earth to contain life. That intelligence is God.
Your lack of experience, your refusal to accept scientific facts and truth and your refusal to accept God's existence, does not remove God from existence.
Your refusal to accept that the re-birth of the current State of Israel was prophesied around 2400 years ago, does not invalidate the prophesy having been fulfilled in 1948.
Isaiah 11:11: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
"You must have real low self esteem to care what others believe."
I actually care very little of what people think about me.
I do care whether or not they end up in an eternity of pain and suffering in the lake of fire.
You have chosen what you have chosen.
If by chance you decide one day to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you will know that if it were not for the grace of God dealing with your hardness of heart, you would be destined for everlasting punishment.
"Probably because you know deep inside you have no justification and you get reinforcement in plurality of suckers who believe what you do."
There aren't a whole lot of people that believe exactly what I believe.
In fact, those that claimed to believe what I believe have opposed me preaching the gospel. They had the same judgmental, condemning attitude that you do all the while claiming to be "christian".
I have since decided that actions are more telling than words, and since their actions were in opposition to the kingdom of God, and in opposition to the commandments of Christ, and in line with those whom Christ calls the cursed that go into everlasting punishment, they can not be Christian.
You referenced the fire at the end of Revelation and that it was unjust for God to punish people in that way.
The reason that those people get torched like they do is because after 1000 years of peace on earth, 1000 years of little to no disease, after 1000 years of lives that extend beyond 120 years, those idiots decide to believe a lie, rebel and take up arms to wage war against the King of Kings, the Prince of peace that maintained that 1000 years of peace.
Those people violated the commandment that man shall learn war no more.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:3: And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
You wicked think that you should be able to do wickedness without consequences. There are always consequences to doing wrong. Whether the consequences are immediate, or come about after many years.

"So to tell the truth is to risk ones life now - why are the masses putting up with this!!"
I came across this cancel culture attitude back in 2005 when while being homeless I tried to start a non profit that would help the homeless. Being in that situation I could see what the primary obstruction was and having found a working program in Washington State, I thought I could bring the program to the State of Michigan.
Nope. All the people that I helped in ministry had no interest in helping the poor and homeless. They somehow thought that their lack of personal experience made them an expert on the subject.
My next step during a time of high unemployment was thinking to start a praise and worship group. One day during practice I was confronted on what in hindsight appeared to be a addiction intervention. What I was told was;
"You're not supposed to be trying to make money, you're supposed to just do it for Jesus".
"You're just trying to keep from going out and getting work",
"You're just trying to get something for nothing".
After finding a part time job months later, it turned out that having gone with too little food for too long, my health and strength had deteriorated to the point that the employer terminated me after 3 months saying; "You can't do all the work".
A month after being terminated I was told; "If a man does not work, neither shall he eat".
Nine months later I was hospitalized with a heart condition and ended up disabled.
Why are the masses putting up with this?
Because; no matter how much they may claim to love God or love others, the truth is; they don't love God to keep His commandments to "Love your neighbor as yourself.", to "Love one another as I have loved you."
They put up with this because they think they are better than all others by virtue of having more money in the bank, a nicer car, a bigger home etc.
What we are seeing is the result people having a lack of love for their fellow man and their creator God in heaven.

"I’m nearly certain that dowsing is a trick of the mind as it really does appear to rely solely on instincts. Which ultimately means that the purpose of the rods is nothing more than to improve the confidence of the dowser."
When there is no direct contact with the rods, and the rods rotate, seemingly of their own volition, instinct is no longer part of it.
In some cases, all one needs is knowledge of forestry, which trees grow near water. But in a desert, there are no trees growing near water, yet, the local dowser that local townspeople refer the new land owner too, is able to find the water.
The truth is; the how doesn't matter.
When modern tech doesn't find water, and the local dowser does, the only thing that matters is that the water was found.
For all the demands that science prove everything, science cannot prove, nor will it ever be able to prove everything. There are some things that the physical world cannot test.
If you choose to be so skeptical that you ignore the references of the local townspeople, you will be without water. Of course, it is possible to purchase a bit of property that has no water under it. No one's finding water there.

"I can't imagine why the Holy Spirit would be offended by us trying to learn more about how the world works."
If the gift of dowsing is a gift of the Holy Spirit, the very fact that the gift is habitually questioned as being valid, is offensive to God.
The Pharisees of Jesus day accused Jesus of casting out demons by Beelzebub, the chief of demons. That according to Jesus, is blaspheme of the Holy Spirit and an unforgivable sin.
All spiritual gifts are given at the discretion of the Holy Spirit. Calling someone with a track record of dowsing fake, because you are unable, by using your rules and regulations of scientific discover, prove whether or not he can do it, is calling the gift giver a liar, and declaring the gift to be a lie. It's blaspheme.
1Corinthians 12:4: Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5: And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6: And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9: To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
Jesus Himself could not do many might works within His home town because of their unbelief. If Jesus could not work for their unbelief, why would a dowser be able to work in the midst of the unbelief of scientist that call things a lie, despite having evidence to the contrary?
Matthew 13:54: And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55: Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56: And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57: And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58: And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

I think that the idea of motion distorting one's view to the degree that Hakeem Oluseyi illustrated, is as errant as Neo's expression indicates.
While the angular path of light may provide a different perspective of the same object, if two people are at the same point of time and location, their observation of the same object at that instance in time, is going to be the same.
If the observations of the two individuals differ, then it is more likely, that you are not observing the same instance in time, and are observing a different instance in time of the individual that is moving and you will have to pan ahead and back in order to find the exact instance in time that the two individuals were in deed, at the same time and location.
The only way to actually test the theory, is to put three high powered telescopes in close proximity, and have them synchronized to observe the Andromeda galaxy at the exact time. Then compare the images they produce.
The experiment may disprove the paradox altogether.

"Religion is the longest running joke in the history of mankind."
So if one of those terrorists tells you that 2 + 2 = 4; are you going to declare that math is the second longest running joke in the history of mankind?
People claimed to believe the Bible, yet were not the absolute perfect examples of what the Bible teaches, does not make the Bible false.
If people could be perfect, which the Bible declares to be impossible, God would not have sent His Son Jesus to pay the penalty for our sins and to grant us the remission of sins by believing on the name of the only begotten Son of God, which is: Jesus Christ.
James 3:17: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 1:26: If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Pure religion is not a joke.
The real joke is on the people claiming religion to be a joke.
By refusing to acknowledge the difference between those that sincerely practice their religion, and those that are nothing but wolves in sheep's clothing; hypocrites that demand adherence to all the rules yet do not themselves follow the rules.
For they cry for justice yet they themselves condemn the innocent for what the guilty have done.
Just remember that when law enforcement comes knocking on your door to arrest you for something you didn't even know you were thinking of doing.

You don't read the Bible do you?
You take a single statement that Jesus said to a woman of Tyre, ignore the fact that Jesus granted the woman's wish, and ignore everything else that Jesus said, and then twist that single statement into a doctrine of blasphemy.
Matthew 15:24: But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25: Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26: But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27: And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28: Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Jesus made it very clear why He came into the world it was to die for the sins of the world, not just the sins of Israel.
John 3:14: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
It is doubtful that God would have the gospel of the kingdom preached in all the world as a witness to all nations if Jesus only came for the lost sheep of Israel.
Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Jesus also said that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48: And ye are witnesses of these things.
49: And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
You need to stop listening to the bigots and blasphemers. The heretics, the pharisees and unbelievers that change the meaning of words to support their own personal biases and bigotries and start reading the bible as a little child without preconceptions.
Learn to read the Bible using the basic comprehension skills you were taught when being taught to read. You will not find truth or know the truth until you understand and accept that:
"The plain things are the main things and the main things are the plain things."

"what are you talking about I can pull a million scriptures as well you don’t know what they mean"
The meaning of scripture is quite obvious, all one need do is read them and understand the "as it is written" understanding. It is not all in how you interpret it. It is: As it is written.
"the kingdom was divided the northern and southern kingdom"
The division of the kingdom was diminished when Assyria carried the ten northern tribes of Israel away. That division was eliminated when Babylon carried Judah away.
"that’s why he told his disciples to go feed my sheep"
He told them to "feed my sheep" as part of the great commission. Specifically to Peter because Peter had denied Him three times. Feeding the sheep is what those of us that are called to preach do when we rightly divide the word of truth.
2Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
"the Holy Ghost that fell upon then gave them the ability to speak and other languages so the gentiles that are Jews could understand them."
The Holy Ghost did not just fall upon them. He entered them:
Ezekiel 36:27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Which is a promise of the New Covenant.
"When I said restore Covenant I was obviously talking about a new one the old was dead that’s why he said I’ve only come to the lost sheep because it was divided and they were lost"
When you said restore, it was clearly obvious that you were talking about the Old Covenant. A man of integrity that knows the meaning of the word restore, would not think you are talking about something new, rather something old.
No one ever restores a new Car, there is no need for a new car to be restored. An old car that has deteriorated with age does get restored when a man deems it worthy to be restored.
You don't restore a New Covenant, you make and establish a New Covenant.
You restore an Old Covenant.
You can pull a million verses, but you interpret them according to your bias, not according to "As it is written". Your improper use of restore alone proves that you are interpreting scripture contrary to the purpose and intent for which God sent them.
Isaiah spoke many things regarding the salvation of the Gentiles and regarding Christ's ultimate purpose.
Isaiah 11:10: And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
The root of Jesse is Jesus Christ as is the servant spoken of in the next verse..
Isaiah 42:1: Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Jesus is the Light.
Isaiah 6: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Jesus Christ is not just a light to the tribes of Jacob, but to the Gentiles as well.
Isaiah 49:6: And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isaiah 60:3: And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Isaiah 65:15: And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
Malachi 1:11: For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
You boast yourself of great understanding, yet you do not even understand or know how to use the word "restore" properly.
Why can anyone take you as a serious student of the Holy Scriptures which you twist for your own evil devises?
No honest person will.
Seeing that you change the definitions of words for your own corrupt purposes, how can anyone take you serious as one of understanding and knowledge in the ways of the Lord?
Again, no honest person will.
You criticize me for posting verses. Those verses prove to the average man of understanding that I do not twist the Bible to mean what ever I want it to mean. I speak of what is written, not what is interpreted. What is written can be plainly seen and understood by anyone that is literate.
You, are not a servant of the Lord. You are an adversary of God and of God's truth. You are anti-Christ, twisting the words of Christ for your own evil schemes.
Jesus's earthly ministry was certainly with Israel. Yet, when He gave the great commission, He commanded the disciples to preach the Gospel to all nations and all the world beginning at Jerusalem, not just to the Jews.
Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15 and Luke 24:47
Matthew 28:18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48: And ye are witnesses of these things.
49: And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Why did Jesus instruct them to preach the gospel to all nations and to all the world making disciples?
Because the New Covenant is not with a specific nation. It is with "whosoever believes". "Whosoever believes" is not exclusive to a specific nationality; it is not exclusive to Israel, as it is written: "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved".
John 3:15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 12:46: I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Romans 10:11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1John 5:1: Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2: By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5: Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

I think you need a time out.
You claim to have done something yet you give not provided any evidence whatsoever of having done it.
I however, post the scriptures I am referring to so that people can see why I believe as I do.
You claim to have knowledge that is not applicable to the Holy Scriptures as the Lord speaks through Isaiah saying:
Isaiah 1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If we are to go to God and reason with Him. Then, we can reasonably expect His word and His words to be reasonably understandable. You on the other hand claim that the words do not mean what they plainly state.
The Jews are descendants from Judah which was carried away captive by Babylon and returned to the land 70 years later. Those Jews that were carried away captive to Babylon are the Children of Jacob whose name God changed to Israel, hence, the Children of Israel as they are often referred to in the Holy Scriptures.
It is clear by your claim of superior intelligence and superior understanding, that you are lifted up in pride. Like Elymas the sorcerer whom Paul did rebuke by the Holy Spirit, you do not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord. You are clearly headed for a fall. Humble yourself therefore, and repent unto the Lord Jesus Christ that His mercy and His grace may preserve you from destruction.

"Lets goto John 3:16 that’s a favorite of the people to goto ..... but who was Christ speaking to ? That’s right the sadducees.... but try scrolling up to john 3:14/15 ..... as Moses lifted up the serpent so too shall the son of man be lifted up........ who did Moses raise the serpent up to ?"
You don't know anything about the study of law or the study of contracts do you?
If it's not specifically written, then it's not in there.
There is more to John 3:16 than just who Jesus was speaking too. You also have to look at what He specifically said.
Jesus did not say God sent Him because He so loved the children of Israel. He said that God sent Him because He so loved the world. Being that God so loved the world, then Christ is sent not just for Israel, but for the world.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Yes, Jesus was speaking to the Sadducees and pharisees, but He was not speaking exclusively to them. He was speaking to the world as well. "For God so loved the world".
Because God so loved the world: "He gave His only begotten Son".
Why did God give His only begotten Son?
"That (whosoever) believes in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life".
Salvation was indeed to the Jews first, but those Jews that were the first Christians were commissioned and commanded to take the Gospel to the whole world. Why? Because salvation is to "whosoever believes". It does not say whosoever in Israel believes in Him, but: whosoever in the world believes in Him.
Your interpretation of the verse makes Jesus a liar as you discard the very words He spoke, and change them to mean "only Jews" can be saved.
I prefer to take Jesus at His word that He spoke rather than the interpretation you deceivers and anti-Christ's promote.
You preach a gospel other than the Gospel that Christ and the Apostles preached. Woe is unto you for Paul, a Pharisee of Pharisees, a member of the Sanhedrin said:
Galatians 1:8: But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9: As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Thus, you are accursed because you preach a gospel other than that Gospel that Christ and His Apostles delivered and handed down to us.

"when it says world or all nations you have to look at it in context."
Context and language does not work that way bud.
When the text is obviously directed to a single individual or group of individuals then it applies as such.
"When he said world he said that because the Israelites were scattered to the 4 corners of the world"
Last night I realized something, when Jesus said: "For God so loved the world" he was not speaking to the Jews. He was speaking to a single Jew, Nicodemus.
Now, while Jews were obviously in many different Nations, they were not scattered all over the world. The scattering all over the world took well over 1448 years and began to be accomplished with the arrival of the first born Jew to the Americas in 1584, the scattering having started in 136 AD when the majority of Jews were forced to leave the land of Israel by Emperor Hadrien.
That fact blows your "Jews around the world" out of the water which is flawed. When Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus, He was speaking to Him of that which God would do for all of mankind. Not just Jews.
Now, if salvation was only for the Jews, then Jesus spoke falsely when speaking to the Samaritan woman. And she testifies to the fact that "the Jews had no dealings with Samaritans"
John 4:9: Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
What did Jesus speak to her of?
What did Jesus offer the Samaritan woman, an individual that the Jews have no dealings with?
Answer: Salvation.
John 4:21: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22: Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Thus, we have two individuals whom Jesus spoke with. Nicodemus, a Rabbi and member of the Sanhedrin. The other, a Samaritan whom the Jews have no dealings with, and He spoke to them both of their need for Salvation and redemption.
Within this dialogue with the Samaritan woman, He prophesies of the days when worship on a specific mountain would cease. John 4:21.
Why will it cease: because the Father seeks worshipers that worship Him in spirit and in truth. - John 4:23 - 24
Again, Jesus does not specify Jews. He specifically uses the word "they" to indicate that this is not just for the Jews or descendant gentiles of the Jews but rather, any person of any nationality that believes in His name and accepts His sacrifice on the cross for the remission of sins and Salvation.

"Sorry, but that stuff about the Holy Spirit, plus most of the biblical quotes you referred to, look like a pile of nonsense to me.
It isn't even slightly persuasive.
It isn't necessary to believe in God, nor give oneself over to supernatural judgement or ideals to recognize the examples set by Jesus.
In fact, I'd argue that those would be very poor reasons to aspire to live like Jesus."
That's because you do not see the real Jesus.
It is necessary to believe in God if you do not want to spend an eternity in prison.
Life without parole is a field trip in comparison to eternity without forgiveness.
Jesus Christ is not your everyday neighbor doing a good deed.
Jesus Christ is God almighty, the creator of the Universe who loved you so much that He chose to take on the lowness of a human being.
Take upon Himself the guilt of all your lies, misdeeds, failings and shortcomings.
Endure the punishment for all that guilt.
Die for all that guilt.
Then rise from the dead three days later to insure that those who choose to believe on Him, and will not spend eternity away from Him, but with Him in paradise.
Without all that: "pile of nonsense" as you call it; our being forgiven of our sins, and spending eternity with Christ; would be no different than: a snowball's chance in Hell Michigan's summer heat, outside with no insulation; of staying a snowball.

"He kept His view on the greater picture."
Actually, He kept His view on His Father in Heaven.
John 5:30: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31: If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32: There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33: Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34: But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35: He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36: But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
John 8:23: And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24: I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
John 8:28: Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29: And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
John 10:25: Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

"Perhaps it is you that doesn't see the real Jesus. I'm not sure that your judgement is superior to mine in this matter."
You see Jesus as just another man in history.
I see Jesus for who He is; God, our creator come in the flesh seeking to save us from our sins.
John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2: The same was in the beginning with God.
3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4: In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
"I also don't think that you are right that it is necessary to believe in God at all, in order to live a life that he would approve of."
Hebrews 11:6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
I didn't say you need to believe in God to live a life that He would approve of. I said you have to believe in the name of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son in order to have eternal life.
You claim to have an equal judgment on who Jesus is as I do yet, you are calling Him, who cannot lie; a liar.
As Jesus Himself said:
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
"I completely fail to see how Jesus could be responsible for my misdeeds. It is my belief that God wants me to take responsibility for those things myself, which is why he granted me (the illusion) of free will."
You on the left have the same mental block.
You think that Christ, taking your place in penalty box; makes Him responsible for your misdeeds; it does not. You remain responsible for your misdeeds.
We each are responsible for our misdeeds, no one else. As a result of those misdeeds, we are all under the sentence and condemnation of eternal separation from our creator.
However, in the kingdom of God there is a law of substitution. Under that law; Christ being innocent of all sin, taking upon Himself the punishment for all sin; empowers and enables God to forgive the sins of all those that believe on His name. The innocent being willing of His own free will, to accept the punishment of the guilty, satisfies the demands of Justice under the laws of the kingdom of God.
"And, of course, it is utter nonsense that Jesus rose from the dead in a corporeal literal way. We know that this is impossible."
This is impossible for men.
It is absolutely possible for God.
The evidence of Christ's resurrection is found; not in the records of the gospels, but in the willingness of those that were witnesses of these events, to go from hiding, being fearful of their lives, to boldly proclaiming the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, despite the threat and the risk to their lives.
What those Jews were declaring after the resurrection of Jesus Christ; was according to the religious leaders of the day; unlawful and worthy of death.
"The story is an allusion to the fact that he lives on through the extraordinary life that he lived, while those who opposed him are forgotten, with their lives are consigned to the garbage can of history."
He lives on because He lives. Not because His memory lives on.
All these things we bare witness of having; in visions and dreams, beheld Him face to face and eye to eye. In vision, beholding Him come in the clouds of heaven and the catching away of His saints. In dreams, peering through the hole in His hands and seeing Him face to face and eye to eye.
I have seen things happen that would not, could not have happened if He were not alive.
You do not see, you cannot see who He truly is because you refuse to believe His truth.

"The theology you suggest, therefore, leaves absolutely no room for my redemption, or for anyone, who, like me, was born credulous."
Credulous?
You're not credulous.
You actually believe; despite the evidence of the building you live in; that the universe just happened to pop into existence without the aid of an intelligent being.
"In other words, it is a failed, exclusive theology."
The exclusivity of the theology is not evidence that it is a failed theology. It is by you, a rejected theology, but it is not a failed theology.
"Live your best life. Prepare to be accountable."
For what purpose if God does not exist?
To whom are you preparing to be accountable?
"Your conscience is the best insight you have: listen to it when it nags you, and do whatever it takes to right your wrongs."
As the marxist left are proving time and time again; one's conscience does not necessarily, guide one to do what is right.
Existence does not end at the grave.
You say you are a credulous man; then follow the same path as atheists that converted to Christianity have done in the past; do the research; analyze the data and come to a conclusion without being influenced by peer pressure of atheism.

"my friend, but it will be a circle , not a straight line .straight lunes exist only on plane.
You can warp a plane on a sphere, but then it never remains a plane ."
A straight line is straight as a matter of perspective. While the theory of a straight line being nothing more than a segment of a very large circle, is valid; this is arguing practical sense against theory. Continue to long and people will begin to see the theory arguing guy a fool of fools and an educated idiot.
The straight line I described shows how, regardless of where you start on the ball, you will eventually meet the starting point if you do not change your direction on the ball. Thus, the parallel lateral lines are intentionally fabricated.
The purposes of the longitude and lateral lines is to assist in navigation. Knowing where they are in regards to the lines, coupled with star charts, various astronomical instruments such as the sextant, a and a compass and a time clock, enables the navigator to direct a ship to a given port or position on the seas.
The lines, despite circumventing the glob and therefore being a great circle, are, for practical purposes, lines that lead you on a straight course and therefore are straight.

""Prophesies surrounding Israel." Similarly Allah is "real" and Nostradamus "saw" in the future. It's all just faith."
Nostradamus spoke in riddles to intentionally hide what he was saying from authorities who may have killed him at the time.
While some prophesies in the Bible are hard to understand, there are those that are very clear, concise and only mistaken by disingenuous that claim them to be metaphors.
Zechariah tells us that the Mount of Olives will split in two, half moving towards the north and half moving towards the south.
Ezekiel tells us that fishers will stand on the sea between Engedi and and Eneglaim. Archaeologists have found Engedi near the south of the dead sea and while they have yet to find it, expect Eneglaim to be found on the north end of the dead sea.
Ezekiel 38 tells us of a war in which a confederation of armies will invade Israel and that God Himself will fight for Israel and destroy those armies.
Revelation tells us of a global dictator that will declare himself god and setup a global economy where no one can buy or sell except they take his mark in their right hand and in their forehead.
Globalists are currently pushing to setup that type of economy through a Central Digital Banking Currency.
Despite these things happening before our eyes, those that demand proof that the Bible is the word of God, dismiss them as "conspiracy theories" or just gaslight the evidence as not being there.
Ezekiel 47:10: And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
Zechariah 14:4: And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Revelation 13:16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

No one is self made.
You did no conceive yourself.
Your parents did that.
You are the product of your family, your friends, your community, your church if you attended one, and your education.
If those that you were raised by, did not give you the critical thinking skills you needed, that will have a negative impact on your life.
You never know what you don't know lying proverbs lie; "what you don't know won't hurt you", "Just believe and everything will work out", "you have to believe in yourself", and so on and so on make things worse.
You are never self made.
Even after you have overcome major obstacles to gain wealth, you are not self made.
It's impossible to be self made.

"You went that far back little man.
How many shot you take"
Of course I did, that comes from years of experience and seeing the difference between those that had success, and those that had failures.
Those that experience success, always have the guidance and council of their elders, people in their corner helping them along the way, giving them the benefit of their experience through instruction and insight, believing in their dream and their vision.
Those that had failures, had no guidance from their elders. They are expected to sink or swim regardless of how little knowledge and understanding they have.
"Most are sel made little man."
That's a lie, you do not give birth to yourself.
Nor do you succeed without others helping you along the way.
Anyone that claims to be self made is an egotistical narcissist that is unwilling to acknowledge those people that helped them to get where they are.
"You really are special.
Know wounder friends and family hate you.
They must be trying hard to get away from you.
I really don't blaim them.
The shotsare for your kind"
All this does is prove that you do not know what you are talking about, That you are a very hateful individual, insecure individual and are offended that someone called you out on your lie.

"what is political correctness? seems like it's always invoked when someone's views are challenged because they do not consider someone else's perspective "
Political correctness is not; disagreeing with someone else's perspective, even if you disregard as moronic the individual that goes around declaring: 2 + 2 = 5.
Political correctness is when the person that is going around declaring: 2 + 2 = 5; becomes offended when another declares: 2 + 2 = 4. Accuses the 2 + 2 = 4 advocate of hate speech, and demands an apology.
As much as people adore the "truth is relative" mantra of the left, the fact of the matter is; truth is not relative: truth is absolute. 2 + 2 will never equal 5. 2 + 2 equals 4 and that is absolute. It applies to all persons alike and non can deny it.
We hold these truths to be self evident, the continental Congress declared. That all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; among these being: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Government did not give us our rights. Our rights pre-existed government. Therefore, government does not have the authority to rid us of our rights. These are the tenants of the foundations of America, anyone that disagrees with these tenants, disagree with over 240 years of history that supports and affirms those tenants by each subsequent generation of Americans.
The liberal left want people to believe that government grants rights. That is not the principle that America was founded on. Nor is it the principle that genuine republics, that are governed by the vote of the people are founded on.
Political correctness demands that those who hold to the self evident truths of natural law, moral character and historical facts; apologize for maintaining their stance on those long standing and proven laws.
Political correctness declares, so what if you were born with an X and a Y chromosome, that does not make you a male, you are a female? Political correctness declares that the statement: "men cannot have babies", is hate speech and an offense.
No one is obliged to consider that 2 + 2 = 5, it is just plain obviously false and a lie.
My being a man and a Christian, refusing to see from yours or anyone else's perspective does not automatically make me wrong, especially in such cases that yours or someone else's perspective is striving turn children into sex machines for their own pleasures, as well as striving to limit and abolish my rights as an American.
There is nothing in the realm of justice and fairness, that obliges me to see or attempt to understand the perspectives of such wicked and evil behavior.

"makes one wonder were on this planet are His Chosen??"
Trump is God's chosen president for this nation at this time.
People reject that because he's not picture perfect.
For whatever reason, people expect those that God calls, to be another Jesus Christ when that is impossible.
The only person that ever lived a perfect sinless life is Jesus Christ, and all but one of the men He chose to be His Apostles, deserted Him.
Despite their failure which was prophesied, God still used them.
Today, people have an unrealistic expectation of perfection that not even a compulsive perfectionist can live up too. The reason being, their idea of perfection, is not a perfect person.
Jesus commanded us to "Love one another even as I have loved you. By this shall all men know ye are my disciples, because of your love one towards another." Today, leaders demand that members of the flock follow that mandate, while at the same time they refuse too. It's a bit hard for those that are alleged to be inferior, to live up to an idea, if those that see themselves as superior, fail to live up to the ideals, that they call others to live up to.
But don't worry, in as much as God has shaken the democratic party, He will now shake the republican party, and in the process, He will shake the church and restore it to Himself.

@pepeoccult4269
My definition of treason comes from the Constitution of the United States which does not require the government to prove intent. All that is required is for the government to prove that the actions of the charged, falls under one of the two descriptions given.
US Constitution
Article III. - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 – Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
"I was trying to ask if pulling out because someone else did treason was in fact treason itself due to it causing ISIS."
Obama pulled out of Iraq and left billions in military equipment for the enemy that became ISIS.
That act was treason.
Pulling out is not treason.
Pulling out and leaving billions of dollars in military equipment for the enemy is treason.
"Secondly, I have to ask you something about the police. Do you think that giving them military grade stuff without military grade training on how to approach a person based on the rules of aggression,"
If the police are facing military grade stuff, they need military grade equipment to combat it.
While all police officers must go through police academy; not all police officers are without military grade training. Some of them have served in the military and have the training.
"and if not, then what would be simpler, making sure they don't get military grade stuff, like vehicles and military-grade assault rifles, or reteaching all the police to be as rigorous in aggression as the military? Obviously the first, right?"
The idea that the police always have to take a suspect alive is a false one.
When a suspect points a gun at an officer, that officer has every right to draw and shoot to kill.
Keep in mind that if there was a military invasion; the police would be the first one's on the lines resisting that invasion. There is no need for them to follow marxist left wing demanded protocols to take the enemy alive.
"Now, you have a point to saying defunding the police is wrong, but their feelings as to why are in the right place. What I personally think is that we should either retrain the police to work with the equipment, or we should limit what they can get. So you have a point on the police defunding, but it's still lame."
The equipment that the police have used for the most part is standard equipment and not military grade. Swat teams on th either hand, do use military grade equipment. They also receive additional and intense training as well.
By the way, you use military grade equipment on a daily basis.
Take the humble butter knife for instance; do you need special training to use the butter knife? How about the more dangerous butcher knife.
Don't let semantics confuse you. For a person that is trained to take out the enemy in war; everything and anything is a military grade weapon. Including that butter knife.
"Three: people do stuff that pass as laws, but are technically unconstitutional all the time. For example, the right to bear arms. As written in the constitution, only the militia could technically be classified as an option. Do you think the hillbilly who is loaded on guns is illegal? No, because the supreme court said no? Then that is a passing of unconstitutional law, making it treason through that part of the constitution. If that is not treason, then that argument is null there, right?"
When was the last time you read the second amendment.
Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Every citizen of the United States is a member of the militia of the United States.
This is not about having a standing army.
It is not about an organization that calls itself a militia.
The well regulated Militia, are those citizens that, through the use of their arms in practicing and hunting are well regulated.
To violate the right of the people to keep and bear Arms is to reduce the military readiness of the United States. It is in effect, disarming the military and the reason for doing so is not because each and everyone of those individuals has violated the law in some way.
The dangers of gun ownership is so far over stated it is beyond understandable.
A school gets shot up, children die.
Is that tragic? yes.
That incident however, does not justify taking the guns away from 30 million hunters that went hunting this past deer season and didn't shoot and kill a human being.
When you take the guns away from those 30 million law abiding hunters that did not kill anyone, the only people that will own guns are criminals and crime will go up. In addition to not reducing crime; it will not stop school shootings.
The only way to reduce the violence in schools, is to bring back Christian prayer, the King James Bible and the Ten Commandments.
I did a search a few years back; and before columbine the only school tragedy that I found was when an adult man bombed a school house. I don't recall the year but it was in the State of Michigan.
Note; kids were not involved in blowing up their school house.
There is never a justification for punishing the innocent for the crime that another committed.
There is never a justification in putting you in jail for the crime your neighbor committed.
In addition to punishing you for the crimes of another being obviously unjust; it is in fact unconstitutional.
Taking guns out of the hands of Americans, and America will turn out like Cuba, Venezuela and now the way Australia is going.
Article III Section 3 of the US Constitution does not only safeguard against punishing you for the crime that another person committed; it safeguards against giving descendants of slaves, reparations for slavery from the descendant of slave owners. It also guards against passing the punishment of the crime down to the children of the guilty to insure that the crime has been paid for.
The reason the definition of treason is worded in the way it is; is because quite often, when a person was found guilty of committing treason against a king; the children were punished along with the parent that committed treason even if the children were faithful to support their king.

"Ppl with faith in a loving Creator endure and overcome adversity."
That does not mean that they won't have to endure hopelessness. Two of the commandments that Christ gave us require us to have each other's back. And the story of Elijah the prophet reveals that at some point in our life, we may face and have to endure despair.
The commandment to love one another as He loved us.
John 13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
The commandment to make to ourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when we fail they will take us in.
With this commandment, there is the unwritten commandment to be the kind of friends that friends can count on.
Luke 16:9: And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
The commandment to give and it shall be given unto you. Modern translations leave out the words: "shall men give into your bosom". This is used by churches to justify refusing help to the poor of the congregation because they gave so little.
Luke 6:38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. KJV
Regardless of your faith in God, when you strive to obey these three commandments and your church leadership desert you when you come into a period of tribulation, you will experience deep despair.
After witnessing many miracles performed by the Lord, Elijah the prophet despaired and requested to die.
1Kings 19:2: Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
3: And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
4: But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
Thus; the question is not whether you will become hopeless or not, anyone that says they won't is deceiving themselves.
The question is: Are you going to be foolish enough to kill yourself and let the enemy win or; are you going to endure even hopelessness, and obey the Lord to endure all things?

The description you gave on the building of those rocket engines matches precisely the same technique that watchmakers used to use before Eli Terry, an American clock maker applied ingenuity and developed techniques for mass producing clocks at an affordable rate. He pretty much laid the foundations of modern day clock making. Here's a wiki page on the subject.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Terry
The old adage: if you forget history, you're bound to repeat the same mistakes applies to this engine. While it is understandable that the builders had to use specialized skills to get the engines running, the fact that no one followed through and made jigs and aids to build repeatable interchangeable parts shows the idiocy of the egalitarian mindset of the rocket scientists of the day.
While NASA engineers may not be able to build the Rocketdyne F1 Engine, a man with both the skill set of the 190's engineers and the skill set that Eli Terry had, could not only remake the engine, he would also figure out how to make repeatable mass produced parts that are interchangeable bring the cost of the production down further than it's original forbear.
It's not that they cannot remake it; it's that they don't want to put the time, money and expense into building a single engine that would be learned from, and from which successive engines could then be mass produced.
Fortunately for the clock industry, they were blessed with a forward thinking clock maker that could envision lower cost, mass produced clocks that had interchangeable parts that did not need the skills of a master clock maker to repair.

After the civil war, the vast overwhelming majority of free blacks and freed blacks voted Republican. The first black man elected to a seat in the Senate, was a Republican.
Many blacks moved over to the democratic party to support FDR's new deal.
Apparently, the master providing for the slave, is a very difficult thing to get out of a person's mental faculty once it has been programmed into him or her. It's one of the reasons that the Children of Israel had to travel about the wilderness for 40 years so that a new generation could inherit the promised land.
Everyone should know and understand that no one, not even the white man, is immune to having that point of view forcefully programmed into them.
What's very insidious is that people will put a person through some of the hardest and insurmountable situations under the conservative guise, notion and lie of "you have to be self sufficient"; only to cause that person to become disabled and dependent upon the state.
If society really wants to end the age of welfare and socialism, then society needs to help those that are struggling to help themselves before the struggle becomes so great that they have no choice but to stop trying in order to survive.
Contrary to the brainwashed notion of the conservatives, not everyone is able to overcome a given situation.
As long as a person has to depend on a job that is provided by another; that person is not self sufficient.
As long as a person must depend on customers to purchase their products and or services; that person is not self sufficient.
This true and proper definition of self sufficiency applies to 100% of the people. No matter how much money an individual has sitting in the bank, no matter how much society claims that person is worth. Without people spending money on products and services, no one gains wealth and independence.
Therefore, no one other than God is self sufficient.

"Literally every first world nation does this, as well as some states in the US."
That is completely besides the point.
You cannot go from not having a mail in ballot system to suddenly having a mail in ballot system without having first, set up the infrastructure to deal with those ballots in a secure way that cannot be hacked or corrupted. The way the democrats are suddenly pushing it on everyone, it is ripe for corruption and deception.
This takes proper planning and well designed logistics so that the people can be confident that the vote are being counted properly and honestly. Without that confidence, you move the nation to civil war.
As a result of her unconstitutional executive orders that she used to shut down the State's economy, as well as other moves the democrats have made to abridge the rights of the people, some ultra right wing anarchist, anti-government nitwits were planning to charge into the State of Michigan Capital and take hostages as well as; kidnap the Governor, take her to Wisconsin, try her for treason, and leave her adrift in the middle of one of the great lakes.
Rather than taking responsibility for both her actions and the actions of other democrat leaders; the governor chose instead to blame this on the Republicans in the State House and Senate who, along with their employees; were also at risk of being injured or killed by those same anti-government terrorists.
This is why all things must be done in accordance with both the US Constitution and the State Constitution. When elected officials start arbitrarily breaking the law, and applying it to their political adversaries while exempting themselves, the individuals that are on the fringes of society, become emboldened to take actions they might not otherwise take.
When the civilians elected to government positions break the law, they must be held to account under the law, so that those they injure, as a result of their unlawful actions, can see justice served and know that such unlawful actions are discouraged from happening in the future. If they are not punished, then the fringes start to unravel and do what the rest of society is reluctant to do.
Democrats are not willing to follow this long standing rule that has governed the United States well these past 244 years.

"I’m not watching that either"
That video sites real cases in which people were arrested and tried for ballot fraud.
Your unwillingness to watch that video, shows that you are choosing to be willfully ignorant of the truth. That makes you part of the problem and an enemy of the United States, an enemy of your children, and your children's children.
The leftist democrats have a history of breaking the law and then, claiming that it was the republicans that broke the law.
The investigation into the accusation that Donald Trump colluded with the Russia brought out evidence that it was in fact; Hillary Clinton and her campaign that Colluded with Russians.
"and talk about an election with integrity when the GOP were caught putting fake ballot boxes all throughout California."
Those are not fake ballot boxes.
According to California law, anyone can set up ballot boxes. The democrats have been doing it for years and corrupting the vote. The democrats do not see it as being wrong for them to put up ballot boxes, BUT:
When the Republicans decided to do the same, then the democrats declared it to be unlawful. Why?
Look at the state of California.
Do you seriously think, that the people of California, intentionally continued to vote for the very policies that have disrupted their lives, brought danger to their homes and children, and made it near impossible to have a stable electrical gird?
Would you vote for those policies after you have been burned out of house and home?
Would you vote for those policies after your children's very lives were put in danger as a result of poor forestry policies?
In reality; Democrats cannot win an honest election in the State of California. They can only win a corrupted and dishonest election.

"it's just a theory. "
It's a theory based on more evidence, scientific research, and historical facts than the theory of evolution.
"many scientists dispute his claims."
In what way?
Do they just say it didn't happen that way and expect you to just take their statement as scientific fact without them having presented solid, logical counter arguments and evidence to dispute his claims?
If so, then take his claims as being a reasonable explanation until someone comes along with more evidence that contradicts this interpretation of the events.
The person with the best supporting evidence and reasonable argument wins the debate, not the person with the most education. His claims are a reasonable interpretation of the events in question therefore it is up to those that dispute his claims to present a more reasonable argument supported by evidence.
If someone should come along later with additional evidence that suggests his interpretation of the evidence is wrong; then you have a valid argument that disputes his claims. Without that additional evidence however, simply disputing the claims suggests that the individual disputing the claims is not a scientist, but a religious zealot.
Since 2020, we've seen plenty of evidence that the science community is filled and controlled by a lot of religious, power hungry, zealots; and not actual scientists. Like prostitutes, they sell themselves to the highest bidder.

"More egregious is what Netanyahu has done to gaza and now Israel. Anti-semitism is on the rise not because people hate jews, but because of the way Netanyahu has married his deluded political stance and occupation of recognised Palestinian territory to religion. If he had made it a state for all, it might not be this way."
There are muslims and Arab citizens in Israel.
You have absolutely no knowledge of Israeli politics.
The only occupiers in the land of Israel are those muslims that claim to be palestian and are not, nor do they have the claim of inheritance of the land that all the children of Israel have.
The name palestinian is a 20th century construct, brought about for no other purpose than to gather support for the destruction of the Nation of Israel. The PLO was always a terrorist organization, and if the Arab nations had left the little state of Israel alone beginning in 1948, Israel would not have conquered all the land as a result of all the wars, that the Arab muslims keep starting with Israel.
To the victor go the spoils, and in the end, all the land of Israel which Roman Emperor Hadrian changed from Israel to Syria-Palestinia in Ad 136, along with his forced removal of millions of Jews from the holy land, in fulfillment of Daniel 9:26, will be returned to Israel as a whole.
Not a single acre of territory that the people claiming to be palestinian occupy, will be kept from the nation of Israel, for this is there pepetual inheritance that God in heaven Himself promised to them.
What you see before your eyes, is God keeping His promises to the Jews. Ultimately, all this adversity and animosity against Israel will bring about the return of Christ and God's kingdom on earth.
In simple terms, though all the military forces of the earth be set against the nation of Israel, all the nations of the earth will lose in one swell swoop when Christ returns to earth with the armies of heaven to reinforce Israel's rightful claim to the land.
Dan:9:26: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

"if they say 2+2=5... those that give the answer as 4, WILL be cancelled. Long live big Brother?"
Years ago I used to use that equation as an attention getter and then followed it with the statement;
"and there are no absolute truths".
Now, years later, I sort of regret that joke, after hearing lefties use that equation and be serious about it being true to the point that they will punish people for saying it is wrong.
It appears that someone seen one of my posts and decided that it can be true, but failed to actually think through and determine how exactly how 2+2 can = 5 and then explain their position so that people can both understand and agree with the validity of the argument.
What makes them wrong is not that 2+2 can't = 5, it can. What makes them wrong is their unwillingness and refusal to explain just how 2+2 can = 5 and their totalitarian madness of punishing people through censorship and cancellation because it is natural for a person to disagree with the statement 2+2=5, as anyone can tell just by looking at the equation; that it is wrong.
I would explain here how 2+2 can = 5, but I don't want to give the tyrannical minions more ammunition to beat people over the head with, demanding that people submit to their totalitarian despotism.
No, I want to wait. Wait until I have the jackals all lined up confessing that they actually do not know how 2+2 can =5.
Then, I can make complete fools of them as I explain to the audience why it is they should not listen to educated idiots that think they are smarter than the uneducated as I, a man with no scientific training, to the chagrin of the educated elite, explain in simple terms that the masses can understand; how 2+2 can equal 5.
And trust me, when I begin explaining to the audience how 2+2 can = 5, every person in the audience with an average education, will likely understand the argument, and start laughing as the man without a PhD explains to scientists, how their theory can be true.
That is unless of course; the educated idiots figure out and tell the general public how 2+2 can = 5.

"I love that citation from Sanderson: “Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.” "
The citation you love does not come close to fitting the definition of a hypocrite.
A hypocrite is never in the process of changing.
A hypocrite always lays rules and regulations on you, that they exempt themselves from following.
Mt:23:13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Mt:23:14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Mt:23:15: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Mt:23:23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Lk:11:42: But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Mt:23:25: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

People that are hating on Israel need to keep something in mind.
Israel is the apple of God's eye and will become the sole super power in the future.
Not only will Israel be the world hegemon, the LORD Jesus Christ Himself will be King over all the earth and His throne and capital will be in Jerusalem, Israel.
The awesome thing about Jesus Christ being king over all the earth is that there will be no more wars, no more hunger, and no more stupid politicians that conspire to make war and embezzle billions of dollars to pad their own pockets.
I think it is stupid for anyone to claim that the Jews are trying to take over the world when in fact, the majority of them would like to just be left alone to live in their Jewish State of Israel.
The Jews are not conspiring to take over the world.
God is in the process of taking over the world.
We are living at the end of the age, and that time when Jesus Christ will return to the earth and reign as king over all the earth.
These things are prophesied by Zechariah and other Old Testament prophets. Here are four verses in Zechariah 14 that speak of these things.
So before you decide to make war with Israel, I suggest you decide whether or not you want to become servants of Israel.
Zechariah 14:9: And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Zechariah 14:14: And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Zechariah 14:16: And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:17: And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

"Ya, there’s a lot of stuff in the Bible promoting the murder of babies, genocide, pedophilia, rape, and a lot of incest"
You have a very warped view of the Bible blasphemer.
Repent lest the anger of the Lord be kindled against you and there be no place for you to repent. Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and the remission of sins.
Luke 24:47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 10:43: To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son(Jesus Christ), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son(Jesus Christ) into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18: He that believeth on him(Jesus Christ) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The ban on baby sacrifices.
Leviticus 18:21: And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Rape
Deuteronomy 22:29: Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
Deuteronomy 22:25: But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
incest
Leviticus 18:6: None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7: The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8: The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9: The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10: The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11: The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18: Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19: Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Leviticus 20:11: And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
17: And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18: And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19: And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20: And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21: And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

"Quick question: If your Christian, why are you so upset about Abortion? You think Heaven is this grand wonderful place yet you spend your whole lives DESPERATLY trying to avoid getting there"
You are destroying God's property.
Ezekiel 18:4: Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
If the Lord has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, how much less pleasure does He have in the death of the innocent?
Ezekiel 33:11: Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
One of the problems with American libertarianism is the fool notion that one's personal sin does not affect the nation.
When the children of Israel went up to war against Ai, they lost their initial battle because of disobedience to God's commandment. Primarily, the commandment to not take any spoil from the defeat of Jericho. The result of one man's sin of greed, cost the lives of 36 men in the battle.
Joshua 7:1: But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
2: And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3: And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4: So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5: And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6: And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7: And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8: O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9: For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10: And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11: Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
God demands that we not slay the innocent and the righteous. Who is more innocent than the unborn child that cannot do any harm to any person.
Exodus 23:7: Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Deuteronomy 19:10: That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
11: But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
12: Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13: Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
Deuteronomy 21:8: Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Deuteronomy 21:9: So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
There is a curse on those that slay an innocent person, and I dare say that when a nation has allowed men to slay innocent persons as is the case with abortion; the curse comes upon all the nation because the laws of the nation are corrupt and evil.
Deuteronomy 27:25: Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

"Why, though? "
Why though is an irrelevant benign question that means absolutely nothing.
"So the they can sin and risk going to Hell rather than going straight to heaven to be happy for eternity? "
Again, your line of questioning is not disseminating your actual thoughts.
If you're not going to quote me when responding to my statements, be more specific and exact in your questioning.
"That's the logical conclusion of the Heaven and Hell system? Best to die early and sinless."
Nonsense. That goes against the very nature of one's will to live.
I've been so sick and depressed that I wanted to die, but I could not just lay down and die.
"Besides, God's never had a problem destroying his "property". "
So, what your saying is that it's OK if some yokel comes over to your home and burns the thing down?
I suggest that if you want people to respect your property, you best start respecting God's property.
Or is it that you think you're an all powerful god, more powerful than the creator Himself, and that you may go about damaging the creators property, and do so with impunity?
Claiming that God never had a problem destroying his own property and therefore it is OK for you to murder an unborn child is illogical.
Arguments such as this come from people who do not truly use their brain and think through what they are putting forth.
It's as stupid as telling a person that is struggling to survive; "you have to do whatever it takes", and then denying that you just told him to go about robbing, pillaging, and murdering. All of which are included in "whatever".
"If were going by the Bible, God is Pro-Abortion"
If I were king; I would have every one that believed that lie, and uttered that lie; executed for being that blood sucking stupid.
If you're not going to take the time to actually read the bible all the way through, don't try and use the Bible to justify your wickedness.
You can find NOTHING in the bible that is pro-abortion.
Two people have put forth the exact same passage in Numbers, claiming that it speaks of pro-abortion. The passage has nothing to do with abortion. It has to do with a man that has become jealous because he thinks his wife is secretly committing adultery, and there is no pregnancy involved because their is absolutely no evidence of the adultery.
It's the typical leftist corruptions. If you can't find real, valid evidence to support your belief, you just claim that it exists.
There is only one time in the Bible where God actually asked someone to sacrifice his son. That one time was God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and God stopped Abraham before he actually did it.
Everyone and anyone claiming that the bible is pro abortion when God provides clear punishment for those that cause an injury to a child in a woman's womb, is lying.
Exodus 21:22-25 starts out regarding the hurting of a woman with child and causing her to miscarry. However, the penalty imposed is not due to hurting the woman. The penalty imposed is due to the injury that the child suffers.
This is God clearly stating that if you intentionally injure an unborn child so that that child dies, you are guilty of murder. The penalty being death.
Exodus 21:22: If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23: And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24: Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25: Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

37: And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
1 Samuel 15:3 - God's judgment against Amalek.

2 Kings 15:16 - God's judgment on Samaria which departed from Him and sinned against Him after that Jeraboam became king. This is revealed in verse 9.
2Kings 15:9: And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. "he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat"

Hosea 9:11-16 - God's just judgment on Ephraim.
Hosea 9:11: As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

13: Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14: Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15: All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16: Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Hosea 13:16 -
Hosea 13:16: Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
War sucks doesn't it?
Hosea 9:11-16 is the closest you can come to an actual statement regarding the unborn; but even that is not a judgment against the unborn, it is a judgment against the people for their sins and their wickedness.
In truth, you don't have a leg to stand on.
In every instance that you sited; God is exercising His divine, just, right and authority as the supreme judge of all the earth; to both judge, condemn and order the execution of wicked and evil people that will not repent from their wicked ways.
Much like He will do with every person that continues to practice and support the unjust killing of the unborn baby that is innocent and unable to do any of those sins that God judges nations for.
There is nothing in the Bible that gives mankind the right or justification to kill an unborn child that is innocent of all wrong. The only valid justification for terminating a pregnancy is when the mothers life is truly in danger. In that case, one is taking a life in self defense.
All those nations wherein God judged, were given ample time to repent and turn from their wicked ways. They refused to repent and as a result; God had no choice but to judge those people and destroy them.
God's judgment and destruction of the guilty wicked, does not give anyone the justification or the right to murder the innocent and unborn.
You, and those like you will no doubt continue using God's righteous and just judgments to justify your unrighteous and wicked judgments. As such; because you refuse to turn from your wicked ways; God's judgment will come upon you. It is not a matter of if; it is a matter of when.
Life begins at conception and both the Bible and life science supports this truth.
When Marry the Mother of Jesus had just conceived Christ; she immediately arose and went to visit her cousin Elisabeth whom the angel told her was six months pregnant. Mary would not have been more than 7 days pregnant when she arrived at her cousin's home.
When Mary arrived at Elisabeth's home and greeted Elisabeth, the babe within her womb; leaped with joy and Elisabeth being filled with the Holy Ghost prophesied over her cousin Mary and the child she was carrying.
Luke 1:30: And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31: And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34: Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35: And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36: And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37: For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38: And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Luke 1:39: And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40: And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Luke 1:41: And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43: And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke 1:44: For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45: And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

"So your okay with killing as long as a book tells you it’s okay by giving some half @$$ justification?"
You are not as righteous as you make yourself out to be.
Years ago, I read an article where the murder about to be put to death for murder, declared that the state had no right to execute him.
On the contrary.
He violated a persons right to life and thereby, forfeited his right to life.
God was there when He cast judgment on those people, you were not.
You are in absolutely no position to cast judgment on God who is righteous and holy.
If God were not as merciful as evil people like yourself make Him out to be; you would not be able to make your corrupt judgment.
Isaiah 55:9: For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
"Wow, I am definitely not gonna become a Christian"
The fact of the matter is; as long as you think you know better than the most high God, you cannot become a Christian. You cannot have forgiveness of your sins.
You like every other human being are a sinner that needs salvation and the remission of sins. That is the reason Jesus Christ died on the cross.
It was for your deliverance, for your redemption.
You were not living in those days and have no idea of just how corrupt and evil those people were.
However, you know just how corrupt and evil you yourself are despite all your claims of superior righteousness. You know very well that you are just as worthy of death as all those people that died in those judgments.
That's the real reason you disagree with those judgments.
You disagree not because those people did not deserve to die for their wickedness.
You disagree because you know that like them you do deserve to die for your wickedness.
Despite this, God revealed His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, enemies of God; Christ died for us to redeem us and to purchase us and to restore us into a good standing relationship with God.
Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9: Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10: For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
This is what it means to be a real Christian.
It means to acknowledge that there is absolutely nothing I can do to deserve mercy from God and to rely solely on the work of Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
Christ is not just some random man that happened to live a good life, was wrongfully executed and then rose from the dead.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus Christ is God, becoming man; for the purpose of being the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world.
John 1:29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 1:36: And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
But you have to choose to believe, and choose to turn from your wicked ways unto God's righteous ways. You cannot do that as long as you think yourself more righteous than God which in truth; you are not. None of us are.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?
Do you believe that God raised Him from the dead the third day?
Romans 10:8: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Romans 9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

"Are there any studies on the “efficacy” of religion for mental illness? When Dennis talks about how to market religion and the happy religious person, makes me wonder if religion has been studied as “therapy” or treatment for mental illness."
Religion in and of itself will not do a whole lot for those mentally ill due to a chemical imbalance.
People that are mentally ill due to a lack of forgiveness in their heart towards those that have offended them; is another story.
Jesus teaches us that if we do not forgive others, then neither can we receive forgiveness.
Matthew 18:33: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34: And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35: So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Mark 11:25: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26: But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Luke17:3: Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4: And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
But true religion begins with faith in Jesus Christ the only begotten, the Son of God.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
We must confess our sins before Him and take Him as our Lord and Savior; as our sacrificial lamb before God.
1John 1:6: If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10: If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
James 1:27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

"and when you forgive, and when you turn to light, and when you believe in Jesus… does it heal stress? Heal anxiety? Heal depression? Heal addiction? Improve ones life compared to before practicing?"
Some people receive an instant healing even from addiction; most do not.
Everything is dependent upon what you personally need.
If you need to struggle through those things in order to grow in character, strength and patience; God is not going to give you an instant healing.
Romans 5:3: And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4: And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 8:25: But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Hebrews 10:36: For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
James 1:2: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3: Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4: But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
2Peter 1:6: And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7: And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
Everything in God is line upon line, precept upon precept.
Isaiah 28:9: Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10: For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12: To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13: But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
I cannot say as some would; that you will be instantly healed if you choose to believe in Jesus Christ. I do not have a word from the Lord that entitles me to make such claims.
What I can say however, that in choosing to believe in Jesus Christ, you receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and He remains with you for ever. Not only does He remain with you and in you; He works in you all manner of faith and good works and empowers you to overcome all things you have need to overcome.
Ezekiel 36:27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Ephesians 2:10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
But it all starts by believing in Christ and being saved by grace through faith.
Ephesians 2:8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
There is much that men can do through their own grit and determination.
But no matter how much good man does in this world; it will not merit him a place in heaven because heaven is not obtained through the doing of good works or obedience to the law.
Heaven is obtained by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit can only be obtained by grace through faith and asking Christ to forgive you of your sin and be Lord and Savior over your life.
Someone put a clever meme up on Facebook. He changed the color of the k and w in the word know so as to distinguish to different statements with one; it was similar to the following.
(k)no(w)
Jesus
(k)no(w)
peace
If you know Jesus you will know peace.
If there is no Jesus, there is no peace.
The vast majority feel peace when they accept Christ as Lord and Savior and the remission of sin.
I have never heard of anyone that sincerely accepted Christ; say that they did not feel a difference. That I believe is due to the Holy Spirit indwelling each and every true believer and is what distinguishes Christianity from every other religion including Judaism.
We have not only the promise of God dwelling with us; we have the promise of God dwelling within us.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 7:37: In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38: He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39: (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 14:26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 20:22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Luke 11:13: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Luke 24:47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

"This video might make people dumber as people in the comments are turning off their 5g connection and leaving them vulnerable to all sorts of data security issues"
If your phone has the wrong chips inside, the CCP has a security back door to your phone, and your phone is sending the CCP tracking data on you.
Turning off the 5G may reduce their ability to receive data, but then, that data can be sent to them over wifi, 5G is not needed.
Currently, all new iPhones and Android devices are coming with client side scanning backed in, as well as an AI spy bot that claims to be your friend, but is the friend of big tech and totalitarian tyrants instead.
This client side scanning spy bot is coming your your Windows 11 device as well if it's not already installed on it.
Basically, big tech is claiming ownership of your person and your data, you are their property and their slave.

"Degrees are in most cases just a litmus test. It proves you have enough discipline and intelligence to do the work your employer requires."
That pile of manure is so deep, you can't blame it on a bull.
The discipline a person has in the academic arena, does not always translate into the job area.
Just because a person is not willing to waste time, money, and go into a life time of debt, to prove he or she can do a job, he or she has the skill set to do, does not disqualify him or her from the job. Nor does it make them unreliable.
In fact, it's more indicative of individuals that are more qualified for a job, than the less qualified educated ones, as they are able to use their brain and determine which is the best path towards a career, and which is the worst path for them.
There are jobs that require years of education such as a medical doctor, Dentist, Chiropractor and Lawyer, though the lawyer thing seems questionable, and people are pushing policies that will make the skill set of medical doctors questionable. But then, that's what happens when society worships education as the answer to all things.

"why would god create humans just to eternally damn most of them?"
Why do humans have children, some of which grow up and become so offensive and evil that they must bar their children from coming into their home, put them in prison for years and in some cases; execute them.
God did not create humans to eternally damn them.
Humans chose to be disobedient to God's commandments and bring upon themselves eternal judgment damnation.
"I don’t know if there is some sort of God but i know for damn sure he does not have a rational brain in any way that we do and he would not care about the little problems that we humans have on our daily lives."
Despite the humans choosing to reject their creator and be disobedient to His commandments; God choose to work a work of redemption for the purpose of redeeming those that would choose to be save.
You are quite the arrogant one aren't you?
As it turns out, you are not smarter than God and your claim for logic and rational has failed you.
Can you form the mountains on a hill?
Can you speak and cause the sun to shine?
Can you create in an instant, a universe that will take humans billions of years to travel across?
Can you form a man of the dust of the earth and breath into him the breath of life?
You can do none of these things yet, you claim to be more rational than God.
The truth is; your anger against God, your hate of God and your unforgiveness of God, interferes with your ability to be rational.
For God's ways and thoughts are beyond our comprehension.
Isaiah 55:9: For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Despite our inability to comprehend God's ways and God's thoughts, God offers to show us great and might things if we will call unto Him.
Jeremiah 33:3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
God takes our lives so personally, that He sent His only begotten Son to die upon a cross for the penalty of our sins. God the Son chose to die in order that we may, through faith in Him choose to live.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
"If there was a God, it wouldn’t be some scripture version of it but rather a passive higher existence that serves a function of some sort with birthing universes per say."
Ardit Dafku does not exist.
If there was an Ardit Dafku, he or she wouldn't be some athiest, he or she would be some God loving, scripture believing zealot that fanatically preaches the Gospel to get people saved.
You want a fake god created in your image, that allows you to go about doing as much evil and wickedness as you desire without consequences. That is the real reason you reject the existence of God.
"It is so unbelievably stupid when you consider the fact that most of humanity existed without any religion."
What idiot concocted that lie?
The Billions of communist Chinese worship government as god. Their religion is a religion of being against God.
Of the people of India which has a population of one billion, many are Christian, many Hindu, and many are Buddhists.
Some 2 billion people are muslims.
Another 2 billion are Christians.
Look at the marxist left, the cancel culture and the LGBTQ community in America. They are all religious zealots evangelizing their religion and demanding that all worship at the alter of their gods, government, drugs and sexual debauchery.
That makes the majority of people on earth, religious.
"So fishy that when humans began to master writing, suddenly many religions are formed out of thin air."
Think about that statement. Do you not see the flaw in it?
Someone is claiming that because humans did not have a mastery of writing; they were not religious. That's complete nonsense and is not proof one way or the other.
I've even heard people argue that history passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth are just a bunch of myths. Again, complete nonsense.
"Religion will die off quite quickly in the coming decades, it is a natural evolution of mankind."
Now here you are, a person that claims there is no God, prophesying the future.
Religion and the religious spirit will not be eliminated for another 1007+ years.
It is at that time when the last and final rebellion against God on earth will take place. In that day, God will destroy all those that rebel against His commandments eternally punish those that chose to be His enemies.
"If God exists, he would stop us from not worshipping, but i would be willing to bet all my silver coins that he won’t."
As I said in the previous statement, God will not accomplish that for another 1007+ years.
"The only people attempting to stop the evolution are mortal humans who believe that God should stay with us."
Over the next several years, all that is prophesied regarding the end times will take place and Christ will return to earth to rule and reign.
You are powerless to stop it.
You are powerless to prevent it.
In it's time, it will come to pass, and do so quickly.
"There are no special humans, Jesus did not have any powers, because no one has powers today when it is needed."
Even Jesus said that He could not do anything unless He first saw His Father in Heaven doing it.
John 5:19: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
What I infer from your statement is that because God won't submit to your dictates and become your slave, and you become His god, you choose to reject the existence of God.
That is as irrational and narcissistic as it gets.
"So what will become of religion? Probably remain for a small sector of civilization like any human interest. Studied by historians, and maybe a small percentage of the devout."
Religion remaining for a small percentage of the devout?
Do you not realize that there is no such thing as a devout person that does not believe in and practice their religion?
There are many that claim to be Christian, yet do not hold to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Amongst those many are those that claim it is OK to sin because in their corrupted view of scripture and false doctrine; "we are not under the law".
James 1:27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Your problem is not so much that you don't believe there is a God, your problem is that you want to be a god and force the creator God to submit to your will and your passions. To be your genie in a bottle.
If you continue down that road, you will join all the fake gods throughout history in the eternal lake of fire.

""It's human nature to worship a higher power."
That would not prove god wants to be worshiped. If anything, it would prove that people have some need to worship."
You think your logic is superior to the facts of God's word.
It is a self evident truth, that the need to worship was put their by the creator God.
Now, if God does not want to be worshiped, why then did He instruct Moses and others to worship Him?
Why did He say; "worship ye afar off", and again; "thou shalt worship no other god"?
Exodus 24:1: And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.
Exodus 34:14: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Exodus 20:1: And God spake all these words, saying,
2: I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6: And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7: Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Exodus 32:8: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 33:10: And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
Exodus 34:8: And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

""Proving that God exists is more so dependent upon the person wanting the proof. Jesus Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, yet was rejected by the people of His day."
Did Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead? Prove it."
He who refuses to accept the historical record of eye witnesses, stands in falsehood and hazards his eternal soul. For the arrogance of declaring those that recorded and bore witness of the events they lived a lie, or are myths, is evidence that such a one is given over to a delusion. And it is doubtful that such a one would believe and receive Christ as Lord and Savior; even after bearing witness of the multitude of miracles that Christ Himself performed.
I have heard some that claim to be Christian, doubt that miracles exist and are performed in our day. They are so cynical of miracles and bound by their false doctrines; that they will claim that that which was performed by the Holy Spirit, may have been a natural occurrence. It is a sad state of mind when a person refuses to believe the true report of living eye witnesses.
In any case, the Lord God may choose to perform miracles in abundance prior to the Church being caught up into the clouds by Christ. Will you believe then, or remain in your unbelief? Given that you refuse to believe Moses, the prophets and the Apostles; I am very doubtful that you will believe.
Isaiah 66:4: I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
2Thessalonians 2:10: And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
And what of Paul's perfect picture of this modern society and those that are so quick to reject the truth of God which is given in His word the Bible.
Romans 1:18: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23: And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31: Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Claiming a particle doesn't have a spin until after you measure it is no different than claiming that a tree falling in the woods didn't make any noise because no one was there to hear it.
Every tree that falls, whether someone hears it or not, makes a noise.
The vibration of the air that occurs as the tree begins to fall and when it hits the ground insures that a noise has been made, whether someone hears it or not.
In addition, every time someone is near when a tree falls, the tree is heard making a noise. We can therefore conclude, based on historical evidence and fact, that it is self evident truth, that when a tree falls to the ground, it makes a noise. It may not be the exact same noise, but a noise is nevertheless, made.

"The largest water consumption by far is agriculter"
Ultimately, you are the consumer of water in agriculture.
Everything that needs water for the purpose of food production, you consume. You are actually consuming the water that is used in agriculture.
The left are calling this water consumption; virtual water usage and get this.
They are now demanding that people reduce their virtual water usage.
Now, if both plants and animals that are used for food, need water in order to grow and thrive, then the only way for you to reduce your virtual water usage, is for you to reduce how much you eat.
By telling you to reduce your virtual water usage, the left and environmentalist psychos, are telling you to starve yourself to death.
It would be better in the long run if the idiots took all the money being spent on advocating for water use reduction, and spent it on developing solutions to convert the ocean's salt water into fresh water that people need to survive.
This in and of itself declares that they are not sincere in their claimed concern for the alleged water shortage that does not truly exist. The only thing there is a true shortage of; is a group of sincere engineers supported by big money, that will seek out and find an affordable way to convert the sea water.

"it is an underestimated threat?"
When a disruption like the Carrington event occurs, the wise thing to do is design all technology in such a way as to not be vulnerable to a future possible event.
Unfortunately, people rely on religious zealotry, rather than cautious wisdom.
With so much of Bible prophesy coming to pass at this time, wisdom would instruct us to not only expect more of those fulfillment of those prophesies, but to prepare as much as it is possible, for the disruptions that will occur when those prophesies come to pass.
The Carrington event occurred when electrical technology was limited.
We can expect that in the not to distant future, a similar event will occur that will make the Carrington event appear to be a minor inconvenience.
Currently, technologists are pursuing a path that will implant electronics into the human brain.
What would happen if, after millions of people had such implants, a Carrington event took place?
Would it look similar to what is described in Revelation 16:10?
Revelation 16:10: And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

"interesting. why, though? A lot of government do price fixes, right? especially in daily necessities (sugar, flour, etc).
wait, sorry, not price fixes, price cap/ceiling. my bad."
The leftist marxist democrats that disregard the Constitution of the United States will never understand this but; the fourth amendment makes it unconstitutional in the United States for the government to put price caps or fixes on products; even though there are rent controls in some cities.
Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The people cannot be: "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects," if the government is preventing them from charging a sufficient price to make a profit. And when government imposes a price cap or fix; the government has in effect; seized your property without due process.
The fourth amendment also makes it unlawful for the US Government to impose a digital currency on the people as the people cannot be the people cannot be: "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects," if the people do not have access to cash for which to pay for food and other living expenses.
With digital currency; all it takes is a major power outage to put people in a position in which they cannot purchase food and other life necessities.

"finding patterns when none is there."
If a pattern does not exist, it cannot be found.
Humans have an egocentric bias which states;
>If I didn't find it, and someone did that I believe to be inferior to me, the pattern does not exist.<
This egocentric bias is found in every aspect of life including religion.
Science has a history of work made popular by a scientist in power, work which he is accused of stealing.
There is also a bias view point. If someone presents a literal understanding of a passage in the Bible that does not contradict or require a rewrite of the passage, that individual will be accused of declaring an interpretation, that he did not state. People will literally put words in his mouth.
There is a bias of knowledge. If you give an answer to a question, displaying knowledge that the inquisitor believes that you do not, or should not have, the inquisitor will reject the answer and tell you, you are wrong.
AI is a computer program and nothing more. If a parameter within a model does not exist, the AI cannot reveal it. The true power in the AI lies within the skill of the programmer, to craft the algorithm in such a way, that the algorithm is able to show parameters that would otherwise, not be seen. If the AI does not have the algorithm, the AI is just as blind to the parameters that the algorithm finds, as humans that are incapable of seeing the parameter.
In short, the AI is only as capable of seeing parameters in a model, as the programmer that developed the algorithm is able to see them and conceive of, or expect, their existence.

"If he knew the basic rules and techniques, to actually hit the ball straight, then he should have won, because as an extremely fit 25 year old male he would be like ten times stronger and faster and had ten times the stamina she would have. So maybe he really let her win. Men do that all the time."
Not necessarily.
You're neglecting several things.
Her training.
If she was utilizing the walls much like one banks pool balls of the table's pumpers, and he was unable to compensate for that strategy, she wins.
Endurance wins out.
If he neglected to build his endurance, and she made a point to build her endurance; she's in better shape and she wins.
There is also the potential of a difference in diet.
If she is eating the healthiest diet possible while he is eating whatever he wants because he is a man; she is healthier and she wins.
It's not always about man handling the opponent, sometimes, a great deal of finesse is a better weapon than brute strength.
It sounds like she was able to use his strengths, against him, and she won.

Treating RVs and tents as domiciles when they are being used as such and therefore requiring a search warrant is not handcuffing the police.
The inability, or unwillingness to get a search warrant will handcuff the police.
By the way, the 4th Amendment does not require a tent or RV to be used as a domicile in order to require a search warrant. The 4th Amendment requires that the RV or tent be owned by a civilian, corporation or business.
Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

"as today really does feel like the end of times."
There are two definitions of "the last days" used in the New Testament. The general definition which began with the advent of Christ; and because people like to start and engage in stupid arguments; I will call the second definition of the last days; The last days of the last days which precedes the return of Christ.
There are two passages that speak of the general definition of the last days;
Referring to the day of Pentacost in Acts 2:17; Peter specifically says last days.
Acts 2:14: But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17: And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
In Hebrews 1:2 Paul says: "in these last days" referring to God speaking to us by His Son Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 1:2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
There are three passages that speak of the last days of the last days which precede the return of Christ.
Paul speaks of perilous times in the last days of the last days. We are certainly in perilous times.
2Timothy 3:1: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2: For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3: Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4: Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6: For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7: Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
James speaks of the judgment of the rich in the last days of the last days.
James 5:3: Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4: Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5: Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6: Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Peter tells us that scoffers asking where it the promise of his coming; will come walking after their own lusts in the last days of the last days.
2Peter 3:3: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4: And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
"They will learn that tradition is good and trying to do something new is bad. We must follow the bible. God bless you."

A lot of those facts were hidden by big tech.
So, unless you have advance search skills which the majority of people do not; you would not find that information.
When I told people claiming the vax was bad to post links to their sources, they would get angry with me and demand; "do your own research".
What strikes me as most evil about these people that claimed to have the truth is; they all acted in the same way that liars and false witnesses act when required to support their accusations with links and sources.
Under those circumstances, it's not unusual for people to make the wrong decision.
The left go about hyperventilating claiming that benign free speech is hate speech.
I've heard valid hate speech back in 05 and 06. I know it was hate speech because it was coupled with an attitude of every man for himself, an attitude that nearly ended my life. The majority of people crying about hate speech have never experienced true hate speech.
In my view, "do your own research"; is one of the most hateful things a person can say to another. As it comes down to the fact that if a person does not have that skill set, those demanding "do your own research", do not care that that person will make the wrong decision and have a greater risk of dieing than if that same person makes the right decision.
I personally took a wait and see approach on the vax and; once studies from Israel showed that the drug caused inflammation of the heart, it became a no go for me.
Perhaps some of you that have these advanced search and research skills, might be bothered to post videos and teach everyone else how to do that research, and search.

"Expansion Accelerates -> Requires Negative Pressure"
Not necessarily.
The lack of negative pressure, coupled with insufficient oppositional force, will do the same.
Expansion and acceleration can be caused by positive energy as well.
If the positive energy is sufficient to overcome gravitational forces and that positive energy is maintained, as the object moves further away from the gravitational force, the object will necessarily, increase in speed.
If we have a starting gravitational force of 100, and we apply a constant positive energy force of 105 which overcomes the gravitational force, the further away from the gravitational force the object gets, the gravitational force has less affect on the object. The end result will be a steady increasing of speed of the object.
As long as the constant energy force, is able to overcome all opposing resistance, the object will steadily increase as the opposing resistance decreases.
This fact is easily proven by traveling in an automobile up and down hills.
As one drives up a hill, one must increase the amount of energy output from the engine by depressing the accelerator pedal.
At the top of the hill, one must decrease the amount of energy output from the engine by release the accelerator pedal.
If one fails to reduce the amount of energy output by the engine, the speed of the automobile will accelerate faster as a result of the additional energy being applied to the forward motion.
While traveling up the hill, the automobile has more gravitational force working against it. Once the automobile nears the top of the hill, and the hill begins to level off, the automobile begins to increase in speed. As the automobile reaches the summit of the hill and begins it's decline down the other side of the hill, the gravitational force that worked against the automobile on it's incline, is negated and now working with the automobile on it's decent.
In the case of the Universe, the vacuum of space does not apply opposing pressure against the expansion of the Universe. The only opposing energy to the expansion appears to be the gravitational pull of the center of the universe. As the galaxies move further away from the center, the gravitational pull of the center on them, decreases in intensity while at the same time, the speed of the galaxies increase.
Given that the galaxies are moving away from the center of a spinning universe, it is likely that the constant force being applied to the galaxies is centrifugal force which is caused by the universe spinning in the vacuum of space.
Everything in the universe has an ebb and flow.
The stock market, the weather and other seemingly chaotic things, will tend to have a similar path when their data points are placed on a graph. The placement of the stars and galaxies are no different.
As far as those huge objects that should not exist, existing is concerned, there is no problem with those huge objects existing when one considers that they point to an intelligent designer and suggest that a creator God exists. Just as the Shroud of Turin, could not exist except and unless, there is indeed; a miracle working God that can change water, into wine.

"It won't be ironic but sad when the American Empire fall just the way the Roman empire did, due to people like these in authority. History has a tendency to repeat itself. "
True.
History repeats itself for two reasons.
1) Mankind has not changed, and habitually rebel against God's laws.
2) God does not change and continuously judges and punishes the rebellion.
As much as "Christians" like to repeat the mantra; "We are not under the law", the truth is; Christians are under the law.
When "Christians" refuse to obey Christ's commandment to "Love one another even as I have loved you", and walk steadfast in His words, they loose credibility with the culture they are a part of which then, runs headlong recklessly into moral depravity after which; judgment comes and the nation falls.
Such is history and such is prophesy.
In the end, after that Christ has returned, His kingdom will have no end for the simple fact that; God does not change.
The end result is, that which is unlawful in the beginning of Christ's kingdom, will remain illegal through the history of His kingdom.
Moral depravity will not be tolerated as it is in these United States, it will be punished always. This is why the kingdom of Christ, will have no end.

This American is not at all surprised that the current administration of cowards would put out a document that both substantiated the evidence of a lab leak and then refuted the evidence of a lab leak.
All the while they have been pushing policies that has and will lead to war, they are fearful of being directly involved in a war.
They are cowards, do not expect to hear the actual truth from them.
To understand American governance, remember the American Revolutionary War for Independence.
The revolt did not come about as a result of the people being rebellious and against the king per Se. The revolt occurred as a result of the British government abusing their sovereignty over the colonies and habitually violated the rights of the people. These violations occurred over a period of about 100 years with no end in sight.
Take the 2nd Amendment which many foreigners disagree with.
The first act that British troupes took just prior to the start of the Revolutionary War, was to enter the city Armory and confiscate all weapons that were there and necessary for the cities defense.
The founding Fathers' solution to that potentially happening again to the people of the United States was and is; the Second Amendment. It is, contrary to the claims of the enemies and traitors of the United States; not out dated; and just as necessary today in preventing the government from violating the peoples rights to keep and bear arms as it was in 1791 when it was ratified.
The right to keep and bear arms for ones self defense existed prior to the forming of the government of the United States. The right to keep and bear arms for ones self defense and the deposing of tyrants and despots in government was decreed by Jesus Christ Himself when He commanded His disciples saying; "He who does not have a sword, let him sell his garment and buy one" prior to His death and resurrection.
Luke 22:36: Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
No government authority is superior to the authority of God and Jesus Christ. All government authority is inferior to that of Christs authority. God rules in the kingdoms and nations of the earth. For the earth and the fullness thereof belong to God and to the full extent of that truth, all nations belong to God and are operating within the kingdom of God.
The decrees passed by the President are only binding if those decrees are in compliance with legislated laws passed by Congress.
Legislated laws passed by Congress are binding only when those laws are compliant and submissive to; and do not violate the Constitution of the United States.
The government of the United States was and is established by the will of the people through their elected representatives in government. Those elected representatives do not have, nor are they given the authority; to violate the Constitution and strip the people of their rights.
"There is no gibberish in it"
Awe, and we were so looking forward to reading another document filled with marxist unintelligible gibberish.
"The Chinese lost face"
The Chinese have not lost face.
One must have; actual genuine honor, in order for one to lose face.
And quite frankly, when one has actual genuine honor, one does not act in such a way, that it causes one to lose face.
The Communist Chinese Party, has been lying and deceiving their
people and the world for decades. They have no honor.

"Such a kind and loving God you have there."
So kind, loving and merciful that He sent His only begotten Son to die in your place for your sins because He does not want you to be cast into the fiery furnace which justice demands.
We have all violated His laws and in accordance to His laws, the penalty is eternal damnation. However, by accepting the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son and believing on His name and repenting from your sin, you will receive forgiveness and the remission of sins, you will be pardoned.
My God is loving and kind as well as just and holy. His judgment is just and His actions justified. He is far more righteous than any man can be.
He is everlasting and the wicked in the earth are as finite as the grass of the field.
God is most kind and most loving and merciful. You're refusal to believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son for the remission of sins, your refusal to receive His pardon however, is evidence of how unkind, unloving and unmerciful you are to both yourself and those around you.

"he Palestinians whose lands were occupied and divided... or the Jews who immigrated to them from all over the world... after Britain gave them permission... and the whole world is content to watch.."
There were no palestinians until after Arabs moved into palestine when they realized that the Jews were returning to their ancient homeland.
The land NEVER belonged to the Arabs.
The land has always belonged to the Children of Israel.
It is their perpetual heritage and promise from God.
It is those that are claiming to be palestinians, that are occupiers. To date, the true title holders of the land, Israel, has tolerated their continuous terrorism.
But eventually, all prophesies will be fulfilled, and Christ will return to the earth with the armies of heaven to sit on the throne of David. At that time; and all terrorists, anarchists, all hamas members, everyone that makes a claim of right over the land of Israel that is not of the Children of Israel, will be gathered up and executed. All the armies of the nations that wage war against Israel in that day will be defeated.
In that day, all the wicked of the earth will vanish from the earth and only those that are moral will be permitted to enter into the kingdom of Christ on earth, and the righteous shall shine like the stars of heaven.
Matthew 13:38: The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39: The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matthew 13:40: As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43: Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

"3) Solar panels have no moving parts. Their warranties are like 15 years and that's only to a reduced capacity where they'll still produce power. Do you mean variability of energy production rate? Yeah, we need maybe nuclear aswell, and/or pumped hydro/hydrogen/batteries."
The problem with that is; the activists are against those forms of cleaner energy as well. That's unreasonableness is a good indication that they are not concerned with the environment. They are more concerned with destroying the stable energy we now have.
Why is it so crucial to have an EV fleet by 2030 or 2035, when it is a well known fact that the electrical grid, can neither produce, nor deliver the amount of electricity that the transition will demand?
Michigan electric companies had to bring gas powered plants back on line because the projected reduction in energy demand that they were basing their decisions on, turned out to be false. Demand has increased as a result of EVs rather than go down.
In regards to the reduction in demand projection is concerned, I have no idea where they got that stupid idea. As population increases, demand does not decrease, it increases, and even though Michigan's population has reduced, that reduction does not necessarily equate to a demand so low that it allows for the turning off of multiple electric plants.
One cannot maintain a stable power grid by using projections based on wish full thinking data. You have to use real time data which will always imply an increasing demand.

"4) It's not about the energy, it's about the CO2 that was sequestered by plants over hundreds of millions of years that we're re-emitting in about 100. The planet is showing that it cannot smooth out that drastic a dump... But also Internal combustion engines are about 25% efficient before idling and air con loads."
Not all ICE's idle when you come to a stand still. Some actually shut down until you depress the accelerator, then it starts back up and you go. I can't say how many cars are out there with that technology, but they began showing up sometime in the early 2000s.
"Power stations more like 37%. Solar panels are ~20% efficient and wind turbines are about 40% efficient. The only difference is that they get their power more directly from the sun, rather than a plant absorbing a photon, using that to sequester some carbon, which is then fossilised over millions of years, we find that, dig it up, transport it, refine it, then burn it at the same efficiency as solar and wind."
Again, fossilization does not produce petroleum.
Fossilization produces a mineralized representation of the item that was mineralized. No matter how much you process a fossil, you are not going to get oil from it.
"You know, rather than spilling excess oil into the sea, or flaring excess methane off."
The first time I seen a flaring stack, I thought it was a stupid thing to do. That methane can be collected and sold in the market just like all other natural gases.
Dumping excess oil into the sea also makes no sense.
Why not just close the tap on the outlet a bit and slow down the production?

"7) the US imports about 76% of it's total gross petroleum products. If they used solar panels, wind, pumped hydro, hydrogen, batteries, and nuclear, then they could be 100% energy independent. China has invested 275 BILLION USD in renewables. The US has invested 50 Billion. Europe 56 billion."
That is so stupid. rather than using our own source of petroleum and supplying America, our petroleum is shipped elsewhere for refining, and petroleum is then imported for refining.
I was going to ask who thought up such a stupid policy, but then I realized that it is probably part of the petro dollar policy.
Regardless, it's still a stupid policy.

"Is there, or is there not, a finite amount of petroleum fuels stored under ground?
If it's not finite, then how is it replenished? At what rate?
If it is finite, then any extraction rate will mean that it eventually runs out.
If it's extraction rate is faster than it's replenishment rate, then it will run out."
Oil and gas exploration has been artificially hampered in the US by the Federal government. That means there is no definitive way to determine the extent of the US's petroleum reserves.
"Look up a graph of historic gasoline prices. They've been increasing for the last 100 years. At least with inflation, which should be obvious. "
The cost of everything increases with inflation.
Look at gold prices. An ounce of gold remained at $20 an ounce until Roosevelt offered foreigners $35 an ounce while at the same time making it illegal for Americans to own gold, and confiscating the gold Americans did own.
The price of gold has increased steadily since Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard.
This is not truly an increase in the cost of gold, rather, it is a decrease in the buying power of the dollar. Likewise with oil.
Inflation is a hidden tax, especially when it is caused by the federal government borrowing and spending money like it's a spring of water flowing out of the ground.
"It's a general trend over macro time. I'm talking about tens of years. Not just the last 4. Oil prices shot up when President George W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2002/2003. There was a dip in 2008 due to the financial crisis (contributed in no small part by the US subprime mortgage crisis) and in 2014-2015 there was an overproduction of oil which lead to oil prices tanking through to 2018. 2020 there was reduced demand due to the pandemic, then a spike in 2022 as Russia invades Ukraine."
The drop in oil production since Biden took office, is artificial.
The reason there was an over production in 2014-2015, is because Trump recognized the fact that if the US pumped out more oil and became energy independent, it would reduce the ability of terrorist supporting nations like Iran to fund terrorists organization like Hamas.
When wicked people have money, they use it for evil means.
When wicked people don't have so much money, they use it for their personal well being.
"The only thing any of that has to do with the president is Bush invading Iraq in 2002/2003... Also I guess the subprime mortgage thing a little bit?"
Do you notice how many mistakes the so called experts make when it comes to the economy? It takes a colleges degree to be that stupid or so greedy that you intentionally tank the global economy.
"The reason these petroleum fuel reserves weren't previously tapped was because there were cheaper extraction options at the time. Now they've ran dry and we're starting to scrape the barrel with fracking and tar sands. Those processes are more expensive than the ways we've been extracting primarily to date."
Fracking helped in bringing prices down.
Biden canceling oil leases before Oil companies have time to do a proper assessment of the area is part of the reduction of US oil. Biden closing down the pipeline and destroying Union Jobs, is part of the reason gas prices have gone up.
"All that is without mentioning the health costs: between 1 in 4 and every single person exposed to aviation fuel is expected to get cancer in their life time. It's every single person for boat fuel. Leaded fuel is responsible for a general 6 IQ point drop in human population. Globally, air pollution it is estimated to cause about 29% of lung cancer deaths, 43% of COPD deaths, about 25% of ischaemic heart disease deaths and 24% of stroke deaths."
I'm inclined to believe that these ailments have more to do with the proliferation of seed oils in the US food chain, than to do with petroleum fuels.

The quality of academia in the US has gotten to the point that the only correct path is to end government subsidies. Colleges and Universities have millions of dollars in trusts that they don't touch. They would rather their students end up over their heads in student loan debts.
The fact that student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, lends to the problem. Thus, the student is the only one taking the risk. If a college or university misleads the student to go into a field that is not suited too the student, the student takes on debt with the expectation of obtaining a job that will allow the debt to be paid off, yet the unsuitability of the student in the field, pretty much guarantees that a job with the needed income, will not come to fruition.
Guaranteed student loans pretty much insures that college age adults will amass huge debts, before they have the life experience and maturity to properly handle the debt. Society as a whole needs to be rid of them.
Additionally, the fact that students can be heavily ladened with the debt, insures that colleges, universities, and their tenured staff, will be more inclined to demand more money, even in the midst of an economic down turn. This is one of the things that happened during the economic down turn that became known as the great recession.

You cannot take an evil tree and grow good fruit from it.
Trashing common core and going back to the three R's curriculum of 1960's and 1970's would instantly begin raising test scores.
The only thing that the three Rs curriculum needs added to it are tech skills which falls under science.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

"@Scott Tovey in some ways I agree with you but you really think they have the proper equipments and safe protocols in China? Maybe some hospitals do but when I saw videos of dead bodies and sick patients laying all over in the Wuhan hospitals, I don't think they really have a grip on things."
It does not matter if they do or do not have the proper equipment. The very fact that they have been lying about the virus from the get go makes all the knowledge, experience, equipment and know how of none effect.
Regardless of the experience, education level and knowledge, no one can fix a problem by ignoring and disregarding the facts of the problem.
My experience tells me that you should be very careful when removing spark plugs from an aluminum engine block. If you disregard my experience and knowledge on the subject and just treat that aluminum engine head as though it is a cast iron engine head, all the knowledge and experience becomes ineffective. In all likelihood, damage will be done to the threats and you will need a master mechanic to correct your decision to carry on without caution.
They not only did they ignore the warnings of their medical doctors, they told them to shut up about and required them to sign a confession of fear mongering. One of those doctors has since died from the very virus he was warning them about.
When government refuses to acknowledge the truth of a situation like this, it is impossible for them to have a handle on it.
You cannot just have knowledge, education, experience and know how. You have to follow the instructions and procedures that come with that knowledge, education, experience and know how.

I find that scientists, that have observed the rotation of the earth technologically and therefore with strict accuracy for less than 100 years, are always claiming that man is affecting the earth's climate one way or the other, and non of them considers the plausibility that what they are observing is nothing more than a smidgen of a thousand year cycle and therefore cannot be used to make such dogmatic and inflexible hypothesis's.
Around 100 years before Israel's destruction and subsequent 70 year Babylonian captivity, the prophet Isaiah prophesied that the earth will reel to and fro like a drunkard.
Isaiah 24:20: The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Some speculate that this is the result of a nuclear exchange and other's speculate that it is the result of the 200,000,000 million man army from the east marching on Israel.
Revelation 9:13: And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16: And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Regardless of which you choose to believe, it is all a part of the Lord shaking the heavens and the earth, and man can do nothing to stop it.
Isaiah 13:13: Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Isaiah 2:6: For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Haggai 2:21: Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

"Lol. Who knows. Isn't that was what the Oracle told Neo? R u an Oracle? Anyway Christ’s way looks just too painful/wasteful compare to Buddha's way."
Which way are you talking about?
The way in which He came to earth and died for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended up to heaven and is soon to return.
Or
The way in which He returns from heaven with His armies, gathers all that offend and them that do iniquity and casts them into the lack of fire and then establishes a 1000 year reign of peace with no wars and close to no sickness.
Whether something is too wasteful or not is entirely dependent upon the desired outcome. Christ's desired outcome are:
To save as many as will believe on His name, both body and soul.
Transform every one that believes on His name into His likeness making them as powerful as the Angels in heaven.
Returning to earth to save Israel, and establish His kingdom on earth.
To put an end to all wars.
To put an end to all hunger and disease.
After the thousand years is ended, put an end to death.
To hand over all of this to His Father in heaven who will transform heaven and earth into a new heavens and a new earth.
It may seem wasteful to you because you look at this from the finite resources of a man, rather than the infinite resources of an almighty Creator God.
Face it; if you had a million gallons of fuel that no one could use but you, and that remained a million gallons of fuel no matter how much you used; you would not be all that concerned that your 8 mile per hour super car was being wasteful. You would simply use it at your pleasure.
That is the perspective of our all powerful Creator.
No matter how much power He uses, His power remains at the level it was prior to His using. His power never diminishes, nor does it deplete.

Regarding Sadam's weapons of mass destruction;
There is an Israeli source that states that prior to the war commencing, several large planes flew from Iraq to Damascus and that is where Sadam's WMD's are.
If this is true, it will no doubt lead to the fulfillment of the following prophesy concerning Damascus.
Isaiah 17:1: The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Damascus is said to be the oldest city on earth and while often attacked and invaded, has never been completely destroyed, so the prophesy is a future event.
While hidden WMDs is a possible cause of the prophesy coming to pass,
I think it is also possible that Iran could succeed in building a nuclear missile. Fire it at Israel only to have it go off course and destroy Damascus instead.
Such an incident would likely bring about an alliance between Israel, Egypt and Syria and the fulfillment of the following prophesy.
Isaiah 19:23: In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24: In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25: Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

You left one possibility out.
The people that responded with such hate has nothing to do with scientists and has everything to do with them as a person.
Whenever I disagree with people, regardless how I put it, some hater will often say moronic things like; "calm down", "get back on your meds", "Your over the top", "your funny, you need to go into stand up" none of which has anything to do with the discussion. Rather than have a logical discussion, they will throw out straw man arguments, use personal attacks, or even claim that you said something that is very obvious you did not say.
These dull minded individuals are members of the cancel culture club that do not want to hear anything that is contrary to their world view. If what they believe turns out to not be true, rather than accepting that someone has information they did not, and need to further investigate what they believe to be true, they attack, ridicule and threaten with violence, those that hold the opposing view.
By the way. Given the fact that the "COVID-19 vaccine" is not a vaccine, but in true, a gene splicing therapy that genetically modifies those that take it. Anyone opposed to it cannot be an anti-vaxer. The accusation is false and misleading.

"Yup... It's like the 'Merica car is driving down the road when all of a sudden the engine stops. A mechanic gets out and takes a look at the engine, but can't figure out what's wrong right away. Then Trump gets out of the car and slashes the tires with a knife. The mechanic says "WTF" but the rest of the occupants praise Trump because “Something needed to happen”"
I don't know Trump's knowledge of cars, but it I do figure he knows enough to not slash the tires when the engine stops running.
You need to know a bit more about cars if you want to use an automobile as a metaphor with tariffs.
For the first 100 years of US existence, the primary source of Federal revenue was tariffs, not income taxes.
Since 1913, Federal income taxes have been increasing year by year, while at the same time, the national debt has been increasing year by year. Up until 2000, spending and the debt remained fairly stagnate, but after 9/11, spending on wars increased, and as that spending increased, so too did all the corruption and unlawful spending.
It is quite obvious that both democrats and republicans have received ample kickbacks for all that corruption they put into US law through the 1000 page omnibus spending bills, and the 1000 page omnibus bills passed into laws.
Neither party is innocent, but people like you are so biased in your view, that you blame the republicans for everything when it was in fact a minority of republicans, and a majority of democrats that corrupted the Federal government and gained power through that corruption.

"I just hope your friends didn't choose to have tha jabs after seeing old Dr. Campbell videos, in which he was suggesting to do so!"
I have begun to wonder about people like you that always bring this bito of history up.
How many people did you pressure into taking the jab, that you refuse to forgive those that were giving advise based on the disinformation they received?
How many people did you pressure into taking the jab, after you found out that the jab was not what it was claimed to be, that you refuse to forgive those that were giving advise based on the disinformation they received?
Assuredly I tell you the truth, in as much as you refuse to forgive those that, through the deception of others, advised people to take the jab, neither are your sins and trespasses forgiven. This is the teaching of Christ.
Now therefore, repent from this bitterness and hate. You are no more able to discern when those you trust are deceiving you, than any other.
Matthew 6:15: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 18:35: So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Matthew 6:9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11: Give us this day our daily bread.
12: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Matthew 6:15: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 18:23: Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24: And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25: But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26: The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27: Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28: But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29: And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30: And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31: So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32: Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34: And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Matthew 18:35: So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

"Murder is murder, theft is theft, piracy is unauthorized duplication of someone elses work."
The unauthorized duplication of someone else's work is theft.
In the most usual sense of people doing so, they do not simply duplicate the work, they sell the work and steal money from the copyright owner.
But don't worry. Most people believe it's totally OK to steal from poor people that can't defend themselves, take you to court, and sue you into oblivion. But it's not OK to steal from the rich like Microsoft because Microsoft can take you to court and sue you into oblivion.
The claim by the CCP that DeepSeek was done at a reduced price however, is a lie.
It is a lie because while what they may have done was less costly, they failed to add to that cost, the cost of developing the original open source code.
DeepSeek is a modification of the original code, it is not a, from the ground up new development.
I would give an exception to this is they used the open source code to learn how it was done, and then wrote code from scratch to run it on a different chip.
MSM and others however do not ask these questions because in their puny little minds, CCP big super hero, America big super flop, and that is far from the case.

"If you put information into the public you cannot restrict the public from accessing that information as long as you leave it in public view the public has the right to view it. All copyright does it stop people from copying your information...... "
That's kind of funny as YouTube and other streaming apps do it all the time.
It's called a copyright claim by the copyright holder and a copyright strike against the creator that the claim is against.
"Which brings us to what people do not seem to understand about how these models work is they do not download information from the net and keep like you do when you right click save as on a picture of an apple. Rather the model looks at the picture of the apple and it learns what an apple is, what it looks like. The picture itself is not retained."
The picture is not retained, but the data bits that describe the apple do.
AI is capable of recreating the image of the apple with those data bits.
AI can retain the data bits, but AI may not recreate the image.
When you purchase a book, you take that book home and keep it in your home until you decide to dispose of it. You may give that book away or sell it in a yard sale or garage sale. You may not make copies of that book and sell them.
You may site portions of that book in order to quote the author as long as you provide proper recognition and citation to the author.
AI is capable of infringing on your rights as an author and you may not have the legal wherewithal to do anything about it.
"In that sense these models are surfing the net the same as you or I do and what they retain is their impressions of what they seen. Again more or less like you or I do when we surf the net....
So there is no theft going on."
That's not entirely accurate.
A song writer opened a fake YouTube account. He had AI generate a song in to be similar in style and genre to what his real name does in real life. He then posted that song on his fake channel.
He then was able to generate a copyright strike against a non AI generated song he had posted in a video on his real channel, making the claim with his fake channel. YouTube, not being sophisticated enough to know how to determine proper copyright ownership, found in favor of the fake channel despite the fact that the song they put a strike against, was older than the one they sided with and used to determine infringement.
That's a problem.
A problem that can be easily solved by requiring AI platforms to add artifacts to AI generated content so that should someone attempt to steal the work of a legitimate artist by using an AI bot, the artifacts will be in the AI generated content. And even that is not fool proof as someone may use an audio editing program to edit out the artifacts.
AI is not artificial intelligence and never will be.
AI is closer to a language interpreter, coupled with a database, that receives instructions in every day language rather than a programming language like C++, PHP, Python, JavaScript, etc.
As much as the developers working on AI deserve credit for their excellence in developing AI, they are pretty reckless in not including in their development model, safeguards against AI being used and abused by nefarious actors like the CCP, and people that do not have a problem with stealing intellectual property from others.
AI is a problem that will eventually come to an end, because the one thing the masses won't stand for, is not being able to work and get ahead, and being subjugated to low class peasants, which is what the elites want to do.

It is difficult to edit one's own work.
It is necessary to wait several days before going back and reading what you wrote. This is difficult when you have a deadline which is why publishers often employ editors.
Me, I'm a perfectionist, I tend to spot my mistakes before any one else and even after that, I may find one's I missed. It takes good eyesight to not miss anything and when you're reading your own material, your brain tends to disregard mistakes in which similar words sound the same, but are spelled differently for different meanings.
I make it a practice to type what I post in a text editor and then copy and paste it onto the platform. This enables me to read over what I wrote and make sure it says what I want it to say.
I find that I am a perfect speller, as long as spell check is enabled in the text editor. Even with this practice, there are times when I will find after I have posted something, that a word is missing in my statement or misspelled, at which point I edit the post to correct the errors.
Errors can come from what we have been taught in our youth.
It's very annoying to finish an analytical work only to find later on that because you didn't question what has been commonly held as true for centuries, the outcome is wrong.

"but we have no god given right to be able to understand it."
We may not have a right, but we are offered understanding that we may not otherwise have. However, we will not be able to obtain the understanding unless we do 3 things.
1) Search out the matter. Proverbs 25:2
2) Come and reason with the Lord. Isaiah 1:18
3) Call unto the Lord for the answer. Jeremiah 33:3
4) Be humble about your approach as God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. James 4:6 and 1Peter 5:5
God created the universe. He certainly has a complete understanding of how it works.
Proverbs 25:2: It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Isaiah 1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Jeremiah 33:3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
James 4:6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
1Peter 5:5: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

"What guilt? You’re clearly not from a country with the rule of law."
From my point of view, he is acting like he is guilty of something.
He is unwilling to allow her to complete a sentence.
Why is he so hostile to the Pam Bondi's answers?
Why is he demanding that she answer the question the way he wants it answered?
Is he afraid that she will do an investigation to determine what laws the democrats have broken?
Is that why he wants her to commit to not doing an investigation?
Is he in fact, guilty of something?
Yes, just as everyone in the United States is guilty of violating some law that he or she has no knowledge of.
How?
Through the use of administrative rule.
Congress passed a law specifying a regulation, and politicians like Schiff, have worked over the years to game the system by having appointees put in place that, through the administration process, things that the normal person would do and not think anything wrong with, have become illegal.
What rules you may ask?
Now, that is the problem isn't it?
If non of us know what those rules are, and not a single one of us can find out those rules, then we are not able to determine whether those rules are sensible, or just the tyrannical overreach of unconstitutional, and therefore unlawful, government.

The problem you're seeing in science Sabine, is that religious belief, trumps 2 + 2 = 4.
As long as someone chooses to believe that 2 + 2 = 500, and that reality is not a legitimate argument against it, as long as people put financial gain above the facts of reality, corruption will exist in science.
But fear not. The promise of Christ's return and His millennial, kingdom reign on earth; is also a promise of restored integrity in science.
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7: Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

"What makes me laugh is people still think the days of voting would still work."
Voting can still work, but people like you won't vote for those that campaign with Christian and conservative policies and then vote them out if they turn out to be frauds.
"I truly believe that nothing can stop this now,"
This is neither permanent nor is it the new normal.
This is the punishment of all that think their vote does not matter and therefore vote for wickedness by not voting for righteousness.
This is the punishment of all that choose to believe the lie that they're not supposed to get involved with politics.
This is the punishment of all that allow the wicked to live and let live all the while the wicked seek to destroy those that will not stand up and fight for their rights.
As in all hardships and disciplines, this too shall pass unless you decide to double down on being stupid and refuse to learn the long standing historical lesson.
When you compromise with evil, evil will destroy you.
"I’m totally a different person these days,I’m not alone.
It’s as if a permanent state of dystopian fear has been laid over the country like a fog."
Of course it has. That's what the wicked want.
They want you to be too scared to stand up and fight.
Too scared to make the sacrifices that all past generations have had to make in order to preserve their rights, liberties and freedoms.
Your fear and the fear on America is the result of Americans allowing God to be thrown out of His country.
America has belonged to God from her very foundation and the people, rather than believing the true foundation of America, choose to believe the lie that America has always been marxist and socialist.
It was no different with ancient Israel when they turned from God.
God sent a fear into their hearts.
People like to say that America is not in covenant with God as Israel is.
This is actually false. July 4, 1776. The day of America's birth, is 3112 days to the day that God gave Moses the ten Commandments and sent him down from Mt. Sinai to confront the people who had already broken the covenant by making a golden calf and worshiping it.
The solution is to reverse the expulsion of God from America and be diligent in doing so.
Levites 26:13: I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14: But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15: And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17: And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

"You do understand these narcotics are proven effective"
That is not accurate.
Narcotics are only proven effective if they are used in a very strict prescribed manner.
Most narcotics that are illegal in the United States are illegal because of the great amount of harm they will cause when abused.
The recent legalization of marijuana in many states have allowed researches to test those that use marijuana heavily.
Researchers have found that contrary to the claims of harmlessness, marijuana is in fact far more harmful than alcohol.
While alcohol has an immediate affect when consumed heavily, that affect is not long term and dissipates. When an individual is intoxicated with alcohol, the become dangerous drivers, then safer drivers when sober.
Whereas Marijuana is the exact opposite. When an individual heavily uses marijuana, they slow down and tend to be safer drivers when intoxicated, yet, over time, the heavy use of marijuana changes the chemistry in a person's brain so that they become more dangerous while driving when sober.
Marijuana is not a harmless drug.
"and have been used from eternity."
That is a lie from Satan.
In the beginning man used herbs, not refined, modified or chemically altered.
The refined, excessively potent narcotics of today are a fairly recent concoction enabled by modern technologies.
However, addictions have most likely been around for generations.
"The only reason they are listed as criminal is the corporations cannot patent them so they restrict the movement by requiring a license affordable only to the rich then they go about changing molecules to patent this new drug from the basic set of drugs mostly poppy."
Again, you speak falsehood refusing to acknowledge the real and present danger of modern day narcotics.
They are listed as criminal because they are to potent to allow individuals to casually use and when you do allow individuals to casually use them as if they are no more potent than baby aspirin, then society suffers as a whole due to the increased crime that the addictions cause, as well as the increased murder rate, suicides and medical treatment of those individuals.
"I have not been to either containment camps so it you want to tell me why one is worse than the other fine."
You have a problem with the just punishment of evil doers and call it evil to punish those that violate the law and the unalienable rights of the people.
In China, if you are arrested and charged with a crime, you are deemed guilty until you yourself prove you are innocent.
In America, when you are arrested and charged with a crime, you are deemed innocent until you are proven guilty.
Unfortunately, there are corrupt officials in America that will use guilt until proven innocent as the basis of their actions all the while hiding all the evidence from you that proves you are innocent. These occurrences however, are rare and not the norm.
The guilty cannot be permitted to go free in society and must be incarcerated.
As has been shown time and time again, when you allow the criminal element to go free in society and do not punish them, they will continue to violate the law and the rights of the people. They will not voluntarily conform to the societal standard of the golden rule.
Only evil people call it evil to justly punish those that violate the rights of others.
"I hear in reeducation centers they take organs and in prison they play with organs."
That is what goes on in Communist China reeducation/prison camps.
The taking of organs does not go on in American prisons and if you should come across evidence that taking organs is going on in an American prison or prisons, publish that evidence to the web and the people of America will bring that practice to an end; as it is unconstitutional and unlawful.

"Digital currency is the system of the Beast."
No it's not.
Digital currency is the currency that the beast will use to install a global system of control in which no man can buy or sell except he take the mark of the beast.
Digital currency is not evil in and of itself.
Digital currency is just more prone to abuse than any other form of currency.
Digital currency is also unconstitutional as it is an unreasonable seizure of the people's wealth per the Fourth Amendment.
You are fairly secure in your money as long as you have physical possession of your money or can take physical possession of your money. A digital currency deprives you of that security.
Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The irony of this story is that it is highly possible that one of the things that brings the beast system down, is a ransomware attack.

I agree that Amazon has some issues with their employees.
I attempted to purchase a doweling jig with case product number 1395 I think it was, for $39.00 and they sent me a different product number 1355 which had a lower listed price of $23.00 and a different case. I contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement that turned out the be the same wrong part numbered 1355, at that point I just returned and got a refund.
Regarding your bad connectors, I don't think you noticed the real problem with those bad connectors.
As I looked at the two side by side, the name brand connector looked smaller than the off brand connector. There appears to be a size difference.
You could probably use a micrometer on them and find that the off brand is 1-2 millimeters larger than the name brand, and that is all the difference necessary for the connection to fail as easily as it does.
I'd say that they took the next larger crimp, and put a yellow jacket on it not being concerned with industry standards and specifications.
Just to note, off brand companies aren't the only one's short changing people like that. Look at the sizes of socks for example.
I used to purchase Haines for a long time and one day after purchasing a new pack from the store, those socks fit a lot tighter than the old ones I was replacing, so much so that I had a very difficult time getting my foot in them. But the size on the package suggested that they should fit me with no problem.
My solution was to switch to the Dickies brand which has a 12-15 size. those fit my foot like the old one's I remember.
Then there's the sizing of coats.
I have an old large coat and a newer extra large coat, the old large coat has more room than the new extra large coat. I recently tried on a new one in the store and in order to get a coat to fit like my current extra large coat, I would have to go to an extra extra large coat.
Part of the problem is leftists in government that do not enforce the US sizing chart for clothes.

"It funny, people were scared to buy hybrids for years. Prior to 2015 or so, Used Prius prices were pretty low because people didn’t trust them. Now that people can see they do in fact last a long time, demand is high for them."
You're missing a point in your prognostication; hybrids have been around for about 20 years or so. They've had the time to prove themselves to the public, EV's not so much. Rather than allow the tech to go through the growing pains it needs to go through, government is attempting to force people to buy them. In the United States, that's unconstitutional and an overreach of government.
"I predict the exact same theming will happen with EV’s. I own a Prius and a Tesla and prefer the Tesla, hands down."
Not in the near future it won't.
If they prove themselves over a period of 20 years the way that hybrids have, people may decide to buy them provided the government is not subsidizing them, and the price is affordable.
Manufacturers are cutting back on their EV programs due to heavy losses.
You can't manufacture what does not sell. If a manufacturer does so and does not change course when it turns out there is no market demand, the manufacturer goes out of business.
"Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported a $1.3 billion loss, amounting to a $132,000 loss per electric vehicle sold during the first three months of the year, CNN reported."

"@maddhatter3564 thank you for the EV propaganda. "
Propaganda is stating things that are a lie in order to deceive and mislead the people.
The truth is not propaganda.
If I am so wrong, why does the main stream media report that the Automakers are loosing billions of dollars in their attempt to push EVs on the public?
"@FLPhotoCatcher The fact is, EVs are now less expensive than most comparable ICE vehicles, and have less required maintenance, and less maintenance costs compared to similar ICE engine vehicles. Of course, they also save a bunch on gasoline and oils over their lifespan, so that even if maintenance costs are not lower, you still come out ahead."
If EVs are now less expensive, why are the US automakers loosing billions by building EVs?
If they were less expensive, Ford would not have to price their EVs $132,000 below cost.
Ford just reported a massive loss on every electric vehicle it sold
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/business/ford-earnings-ev-losses/index.html

Recently, I was in communication with a couple of atheists which expressed their belief that the Bible is a book of myths.
What I noticed about their viewpoint is this; Every piece of evidence that proves the Bible true, is rejected outright.
Every piece of evidence that proves the Bible false, is accepted without question.
They habitually repeat false and misleading statements to support their belief. One individual repeatedly misstated the the age of Mary when she conceived Jesus. First it was 9-11, then it was 11-13. He repeated this lie to support his belief that God does not exist, or is not a loving God.
Take for instance the clear and obvious progress of the globalist system to bring about the fulfillment of the beast system that is prophesied by John in Revelation. They reject that prophesy as being a prophesy, and therefore, the obvious coming fulfillment of the prophesy, is not the fulfilling of a prophesy.
This is the same mental posturing that we were inundated with during the COVID pandemic and are still being inundated with by big pharma regarding the mRNA technology which is now being revealed more and more to do and cause more harm than good. Yet, big pharma has chosen to double down on the failed technology.
Then again, has the technology failed?
Perhaps the technology is doing exactly what big pharma intends it to do. Which is to inflict as much medical harm on people short of death as possible to make them, and keep them dependent on big pharma for their health, for the rest of their lives.

My take on upcoming future events:
Jesus Christ returns to earth with the armies of heaven, restores the kingdom of Israel, and makes Israel the single super power on earth and global hegemon.
No one will occasion to say; "There is no God".
Gold and Silver will become the global legal tender.
Some US States have already made gold and silver coin legal tender and not subject to being taxed.
Technology to tap into the hydrogen supplies that are within the earths crust will come into existence and begin the transition to a hydrogen economy from the petroleum economy. For a time, the two will be equally used.
Over the next 100 years, all government debt is paid off.
Swords are beaten into plow shears and man does not learn war anymore.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:3: And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
I can agree with polygamy returning as that is a biblical prophesy.
Isaiah 4:1: And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

I suspect that what we are seeing, is the implementation of those policies that brings about the judgments and punishments mentioned in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 9:17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18: By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19: For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Revelation 9:20: And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

It is indeed hard to stand, but stand we must.
Find people in your location that are like minded as you so you have a group to stand with.
Ephesians 6:13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14: Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17: And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19: And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20: For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Solar and wind are not carbon neutral.
It takes a lot of carbon to mine the elements in order to produce the equipment necessary to produce electricity from the sun and wind.
In addition to it taking tons of carbon to produce that equipment, the equipment is not recyclable.
You can't for instance, take the copper out of an old wind generator to produce a new wind generator. This may change for the wind generator in the future, but it won't change for solar panels. They are not designed with recycling in mind.
The other problem is that the production of that equipment does not add to the economic viability of the US.
When we first went to the moon, the majority of products were developed and produced in the US. Since the 60's, a great deal of manufacturing was moved off shore to China and other countries.
This means that the US citizen is being asked to pay for an enemy nation's economic security while at the same time, forfeiting their own economic security.
In the end, it will fail. By 2050 is too short of a time to build out the grid and transition, and America, does not fully benefit economically from doing so.
One more thing.
The only way to make the grid safer, is to burry it.

"In the US, there is a large overlap between the people who oppose a single payer health systems and those who are on Medicare. It’s basically, socialism for me, capitalism for thee."
There is good reason to oppose a single payer health system.
There is good reason to demand the repealing of the affordable care act.
The leftist, marxist democrats always title their bills in such a way that people at face value, without having the ability to read the legislation, will support it. The democrats claim good things will come with their legislation all the while knowing that within the legislation, they have put restrictions and other things that will ultimately, create more problems than they solve. Much like Biden's "Inflation Reduction Act" which caused higher inflation by virtue of the fact that the government refuses to end deficit spending.
As long as the worst of the politicians can influence what goes into the legislation, it is best to repeal what they passed, in favor of the lower cost of services that existed prior to their inflationary spending.

"A trade war is not going to be beneficial for anyone I don't know what this Administration incoming is thinking. Once again the American people are going to suffer"
As long as you are a whining cry baby, everyone on the playground is going to bully you. This is why both Obama, and Biden had no real influence in foreign affairs.
The reason that foreign government's take Trump seriously, is because he kept many of his promises during his first term as President.
No matter how many times the US main stream media declares that Trump will destroy America, which is what the democrats have actually been, and keep striving for throughout Biden's administration, the real truth lies not in how the main stream news media interprets the words and actions of foreign dignitaries, but how they are respecting Trump's coming 2nd term.
The Trump MAGA plan begins to roll out on January 20th, not before.
If you think everything is going to suddenly fall apart, you are mistaken.
Like every nation, the United States is being shaken. That which can be shaken, will be shaken, and only that which cannot be shaken, will remain, meaning, only that which has a sure foundation, will survive.
God shook the democratic party over these past four years.
Over the next four, God will shake the republican party.
Why?
Because both parties are corrupt and infiltrated by the enemies of the United States. Corrupt politicians that have corrupted their offices, and abuse their power. War mongers whose sole purpose in life is to start wars and build heir wealth off those that fight and die in war.
If you think your democratic party is pure, you are neglecting the fact that the every growing and increasing national debt which is being built up to destroy the USD, has been the policy of a majority of both democrats and republicans in office.

"As you should be. If you cannot do a job, then an employer should not be forced to pay you for work you don't do. You should have planned for such an event with insurance and savings."
You are delusional aren't you?
Even with an above minimum wage job working 40 hours a week; all it takes for poor planning is to listen to bad advice that sounds good like:
> Use all your spare cash to get out of debt.
> When paying down credit cards; focus on the highest interest first.
Both of those may sound like sound advice; but they both turn out to be poor advice.
If you are spending all your free cash to get out of debt you end up with no savings.
If you focus on the highest interest rate debt rather than the lowest principle debt; you end up paying more in interest over the long run.
But hindsight is always 20/20
"If you find a single individual that can prove otherwise; it's no longer absolute truth. And I'm not talking about the idiots that make a claim like 2 + 2 = 5 but they won't tell you what 2 is being added to what 2 that enables it to equal 5.
I have no clue what you are talking about."
There's a guy with a PhD that thinks he's of a superior intellect and claims that 2 + 2 = 5. He doesn't go into detail how his equation works, but he asserts that he is right and everyone that disagrees with him is wrong. The bad part is that there are people that actually buy the nonsense.
The only valid use of that equation is to prove that the statement: "there are no absolute truths" is false.
"No it doesn't. The Universe doesn't revolve around you. All it proves is that you are an exception to the rule and society should not be forced to conform to the exceptions."
Exceptions to the rule prove that the rule is not absolute. Change the rule to address the exceptions and you have an absolute.
"I don't need to personally verify data. That's not how statistics works. When someone presents a study with data in it, then other studies are created that agree with it, the studies become factual. After enough studies are collected and a meta analysis is done, we can safely say the studies are an accurate reflection of reality. Until you can tear down the studies with studies and MAs of your own, the studies remain valid."
That is only true if the studies were not tainted to begin with. If a data is specifically targeted to insure that it conforms to the desired outcome of the study; the study is corrupt and invalid. No amount of confirming studies make it factual.
"Some years ago I heard it reported on the radio that a researcher came to the conclusion that growing a beard stunts a man's growth because; more short men have beards than tall men.
You are committing a Red Herring argument and a Strawman argument here. Just because you can point to a ridiculous study in one area does not mean that all studies are ridiculous."
That is not a red herring argument. A red herring argument is an argument that is used to suggest a given outcome. I am simply providing a factual, real life event that occurred.
"Every man knows the fallacy of that data and the conclusion of that report.
LOL yeah, sorry but denying a study by simply denying it, isn't a valid rebuttal or argument. You have to take bits and pieces from the study, break them down, show why they are wrong, then present your own rational arguments that show the data says something else than what the authors stated."
As a man, I don't have to break down data to prove that conclusion to be wrong. It is simple biology. Every man that has gone through puberty grows a beard on a daily basis. Some have thicker beards and some have thinner beards. The beard does not have anything to do with a man's height.
What is really sad about that particular study is that no one bothered to inform the participants of the study; most likely all women that grew up without a father in the house; that the only difference between a man with a beard and a man without a beard is the use of a razor on a daily basis. There are the occasional men that can't grow much of a beard, but they still have to shave and women identifying as a men don't count as they are not biological males.
"Any individual's experience that contradicts the data, is evidence that there is something wrong with the data.
Incorrect. All that demonstrates is you have found a few outliers and exceptions, and exceptions do not disprove the rule.
It is commonly known that men on average are physically stronger than the average woman. Just because you can find 10 women on planet earth that can beat up most guys, it does not change the rule that on average men are physically stronger than the average woman. You will not find a single system on planet earth where you have a 100% representation in statistical data."
As long as you are using "on average" then you have a properly stated rule. When the on average is omitted, the author is implying that there are no exceptions.
"If what you are saying is true, then it is your duty to provide a counter argument with actual data. If you can't be bothered then it's your own fault."
Actually; claiming to have special knowledge is not evidence that what you claim to be so; is in fact so.
Quite simply; anyone that is unemployed will be more than willing to apply for jobs they qualify for provided they are given the information as to the whereabouts of those jobs that are alleged to exist. And applying for a job does not equal getting hired for the job.
"I will most certainly judge you and you are now changing your story. First you said you would kiII someone because they lied to you. Now you are moving the goalpost and putting on more qualifiers about trying to get you thrown in prison and destroying your life with the law."
Don't be naive.
A person that is lying to you is threatening your life whether you think they are or not. If you follow false information they gave you and it puts your life in danger; their lie has threatened your life.
If people are willing to falsify information and frame you for a crime you did not commit; those people are threatening your life with their lies. Because hey; why stop with a felony that puts you in prison for 10 years; why not go with a capital crime that allows them to execute you?
Don't think for a second that lies do not threaten your life. They do!
"No, I don't give a lot of weight to data; the last time I gave too much weight to what people were saying; I ended up hospitalized, underwent surgery for a fatal heart condition and after I came out of the hospital not able to walk ten feet without stopping for a rest; people said there was nothing wrong with me.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure that it is impossible for data to give anyone heart problems."
Data is information that people claim to be truth. If that data is false and you follow it; it can be very bad for your health.
"No; I don't give a lot of weight to what people say. I suggest you not give that report as much weight either.
I will, unless someone can provide data and evidence that disproves it. Anecdotal evidence doesn't cut it."
Then you will most likely end up making very costly mistakes that affect your health in a negative way.
I know of a gal; a successful business woman that followed the information given to her by a supposed "guru". Rather than basing decisions on her tried and true methodology that has made her successful; she doubted herself and listened to this "guru".
The cost? A loss of 500 grand and unable to continue her business. When she stopped following his advice and went back to the foundation of how she got started; she was able to turn things around.
He had his data. Data that you will be so willing to accept, follow and be swindled by because you have no refuting data.
If you put corrupted, manipulated, bad data into your brain; you will make bad decisions based on that bad data; not good decisions.
Is it me, or is the length of this discussion getting out of hand?

"Is the present determined by the future? The idea that our universe, and everything in it, has a secret plan, a goal that we inevitably have to reach, is called Teleology. This sounds strange, if not outright crazy and a little bit depressing."
It's odd to me that highly educated people, will go out of their way, to turn "the Universe" into a conscious being while at the same time, deny the existence of a Creator God who is actively bringing about His plan to bring the earth and mankind to His ultimate goal of bringing His kingdom on earth, and imposing a period of time where man learns war no more; bringing about a thousand years of peace under the rule of His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Is there an ultimate plan?
Yes.
Isaiah 46:8: Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9: Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10: Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Revelation 19:11: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14: And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15: And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16: And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 20:1: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2: And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Revelation 20:3: And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

"Sure, but wasn't this the same argument against solar? Now solar is arguably the cheapest energy source in many places."
If a technology needs government subsidies, other than the standard business tax write offs that business receive, it's market is not sustainable.
California is the best example of the lies put forth by those advocating for "green energy".
1) Neither wind or solar produces actual energy. It only produces electricity.
As a result, it neither wind nor solar can produce many of the products that are on the market today.
The problem here is not that the technology will never be able to do the job, the problem is that people are demanding that a boy, can do a man's job.
The boy is too young. Let the boy grow up a bit and see what the boy is capable of doing himself.
2) The more solar and wind are used to produce electricity, the higher the price of electricity climbs. This alone is not sustainable.
3) When the government subsidies cease, the real price of wind and solar will be seen. You may still be able to purchase solar panels in the $200 to $300 range, but it is doubtful that the prices will remain there.
4) Most solar panels are made in China. China has been at war with the United States for several decades. This means that those pushing solar in the US, have adhered themselves to the enemies of the United States and are giving them aid and comfort and is an act of treason. What this means to the average American as that globalists and their global market, have put every American in a position in which we have no choice but to commit treason by purchasing products made in China.

"we can't fix poverty because God wants us to feed the poor? Homie umm what?? Did you fall and hit your head?"
No. I got a good taste of stupid when I lost a job during the great recession and could not find a replacement. I nearly died as a result.
It was a rude awakening when the preachers that preached "give and it shall be given unto you", and whose ministries I gave money too when I was gainfully employed, changed their message too; "there's no free money", and disavow any offering I put in their plates when I could not find a job and needed their help.
Over 30 years of my life I heard people recite the saying; "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
That saying is a valid proverb and truism. There's just one problem with it.
The people that don't want to give a man a fish and feed him for a day; also refuse to teach the man how to fish so that he can eat for a lifetime.
It's far from a valid biblical precept.
Deuteronomy 15:11: For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
Mark 14:7: For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
Galatians 2:10: Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
Matthew 25:31: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34: Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37: Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38: When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39: Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Christ said that those that claim to believe in Christ yet will not give assistance to the poor in the church; are cursed and go into everlasting punishment.
Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44: Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

"- Nope. Once I cut off my stomach in 2017, I barely feel any hunger at all, maybe a couple of times since 2017. Quality of the food makes no difference whatsoever."
That's true when you allow a doctor to resize your stomach, but we are talking about the normal person here.
I've been dealing with having a bit too much fat since I became disabled back in 2007. Recently I learned about Lactobacillus Reuteri Probiotic and decided to take it. I noticed a physical difference the day after taking the first pill.
When I eat my normal meal that includes carbs, I notice that there is no real difference in how I feel after eating. But, when I eat meat, I get full up much sooner, to such a degree that I may try the carnivore diet. I've already noticed that I will lose a pound a day when I stick to it.
But, the problem with Probiotics, is that they are highly susceptible to antibiotics, and I have had to take antibiotics three times since the beginning of the year, once prior to taking the L Reuteri.
When I took the antibiotics prior to taking the L Reuteri, I noticed a definite weakness and relapse in my condition. And when I attempted to do an all protein diet prior to taking the L Reuteri, my arms had a definite feeling of weakness in them much like the Chronic fatigue I felt after my illness set in.
More and more of the truth is coming out, it's slow because there is a concerted effort by "the powers that be", to censor the truth and keep it hid. That effort is part of the war on health in the western world.

Part of the reason that heat pumps are so expensive, is the fact that government is; 1) subsidizing them. 2) mandating them.
Anytime government gets involved with industry, prices go up, whereas if the market is allowed to do it's job, better technology will be developed and prices will go down.
We will not, for the foreseeable future, be able to eliminate fossil fuels from daily use. Anything that requires electricity to heat a home ceases to work. However, sticking a log in the fireplace or a wood burning stove, or sticking coal in a stove and lighting a fire, heats up the room. No electricity needed.
The only reason to legitimately push electric energy to the degree that the environmentalist are pushing it, is to initiate a mass extinction event of the human race through the process of freezing people to death.

Zechariah 14:12 is often assumed to be a nuclear strike.
But one need not use nuclear weapons to cause the skin to melt away.
An advanced stage of the [Necrotizing fasciitis (NF), also known as flesh-eating disease,] has been described in the same way.
The fact that the plague is isolated to only those that "have fought against Israel", makes it less likely to be a nuclear strike, a more likely to be a condition caused by [Necrotizing fasciitis (NF), also known as flesh-eating disease,] which is a bacterial infection.
"Zechariah 14:2: For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
"Zechariah 14:12: And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."

"Though He does hate the sin, He loves the sinner. They only need to repnt and change their 'walk'."
Don't interpreting scripture to suite your personal doctrine.
You will learn more when you focus on comprehending rather than interpreting what you read.
Read the passage again;
Proverbs 6:16: These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18: An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19: A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Verse 17; "a lying tongue" and "hands that shed innocent blood" refer to the person, not the sin.
Verse 18: "an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief" again, these are referring to the person, not the acts themselves.
Verse 19: "A false witness that speaketh lies".
A false witness is a person that speaketh lies. While the speaking of lies is the sin, the false witness is the person.
Verse 19: "he that soweth discord among brethren".
Again, he that soweth discord is the person. Sowing discord is the sin.
It clearly states that God hates people that sow discord.
It clearly states that God hates people that speak lies.
Are there any other places where Scripture speaks of God hating a person?
Yes.
Malachi 1:2: I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
3: And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Romans 9:13: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Romans 1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31: Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
So, why then did Jesus say; "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not parish but have everlasting life"? Aren't these two contradictory?
They are not contradictory.
The hating of those that do those things mentioned is the result of Justice.
The sending His Son to die for our sins is the result of grace and mercy.
What scripture is teaching us is that God's love for those that do evil things; is greater than His hate for those that do these things.
Psalms 86:15: But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
2Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Even though God's love for us compels Him to be long suffering towards us as He is not willing that any should perish; there is a point that God will no longer be moved by His compassion and graciousness to suffer long, and must move in judgment, the first step of which is to give them over to a debase mind. - Romans 1:28

"That's a clear misuse of religion to fit your ideology"
Typical false accusation and the bearing of false witness from those that don't believe the word of God and habitually interpret it to mean something it does not.
When Jesus was tempted by Satan, He always responded; "as it is written" and used the literal comprehension of Scripture as I have done here.
If you don't like being told God hates you as a result of your running around and habitually lying and bearing false witness; stop being the kind of a person that God hates. Stop running around lying, bearing false witness and sowing discord among the people.
Read it again, it means exactly what it says.
Proverbs 6:12: A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13: He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14: Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15: Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Proverbs 6:16: These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18: An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19: A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
When Christ returns, He will send His angels to gather all that offends and those which do iniquity and cast them in a furnace of fire.
Matthew 13:41: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Another thousand years hence, and all the wicked that hate the Lord will be cast into the lake of fire and removed from off the earth forever and ever.
Revelation 19:20: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20:10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:5: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6: And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7: He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Repent and believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and the remission of sins. Then your name will be written in the Lamb's book of life and your place will be with God on the New Earth forever and ever.

"You're saying that everyone who disagrees with you is lying and evil. Why? And how do you know that your side isn't the one that's making shit up?"
My side is God's side. God doesn't make things up.
God speaks truth and truth alone.
If you disagree with me, you are disagreeing with God due to the fact that I do not ascribe to "My truth" I strive to insure that the truth I speak is God's truth.
"I'm not religious because all religions claim to be true and that all their competitors are lying. If God exists, it would almost certainly be in a very different form to anything we can imagine."
Just as I do not get to dictate who and what you are supposed to be, you do not get to dictate who are what God is supposed to be.
"Christian God is a also a bit of an asshole for creating eternal punishment with no means to escape out of spite, because his creations do the things he created them to do."
What idiot told you that God created eternal punishment with no means to escape?
Whoever told you that lied to you.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes on Him shall not parish but have everlasting life.
God provided for us a means in which we may receive a pardon.
atheists and others that reject the Bible as God's word, often reject the idea that someone had to die for their sins, and therefore claim that their is no means to escape punishment.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
I think that the primary reason they reject the Bible and reject Christ is because there is no way for them to "earn" their way into heaven.
"I get how you can explain evil existing by God giving us free will, but why would he even bother punishing people, and why would he put in a drive to sin? if I bred a pit bull to specifically attack children, and when the pit bull mauls a child I torture it to death as punishment that whole situation is my fault."
God did not create sin in man.
Sin came into man because man chose to disobey God's commandment.
You yourself cannot produce offspring that has a better nature than yourself.
You cannot produce sinless children because you are a sinner, therefore, you can only produce children that are sinners.
Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
"The bible passages you are linking are just condemning people for lying and being evil and unpleasant in general. This is incredibly easy to interpret in different ways to try and make it fit whoever you don't like."
It doesn't fit whoever I don't like. It fits whoever disobeys God's commandments especially the chiefest of all His commandments which is to believe on His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, and be forgiven their sins.
If you interpret those passages other than as they are written, you have corrupted and falsely interpreted them.
You hold to the false assertion that there are no absolute truths.
There are in deed absolute truths. No biological woman can get another biological woman pregnant without the assistance of a biological man. Despite the lies that the LGBTQ claim; this is an absolute truth. Biological men do not menstruate. Those that go about claiming that men can get pregnant and women can get women pregnant, are violating the laws of nature. They think it OK to change the definition of "man" and "woman" and then decry anyone that stands up to protect the traditional definition of the words. These people are evil, as their deeds are evil, and they are not concerned about the harm they are doing to others. The harm they are doing to children and the harm they are doing the America.
Because there are absolute truths.
Because there are traditional definitions of words.
One cannot with integrity, interpret those verses in anyway other than as they are written. Anyone that does so is condemned for calling God a liar.

"God is all-powerful. Why would he create hell in the first place?
Same thing as breeding a dog to be incredibly aggressive and attack people, and torturing the dog to death when it inevitably ends up attacking someone.
You are overly punitive. Punishment for its own sake is evil, barbaric and medieval. Punishment must serve as a means to an end, that end being deterrence. If the harm caused by the punishment (in this case infinite hell) outweighs the gain from discouraging bad behavior, it is bad. No amount of sin justifies eternal punishment as hell is infinite, and therefore outweighs any possible gain in a finite world."
Why do you constantly confuse me with God?
I am not God.
Be thankful for that as i would prefer to just do away with those that go after wickedness and follow it rather than attempt to redeem the ingrates.
The words in the Bible are not mine, they are God's.
I am an ambassador of Christ, I am not Christ.
The purpose of punishment is to put evil away from the midst of society.
The punishment for breaking what we would consider the major laws of Moses was death.
Deuteronomy 13:5: And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
The purpose of sending the devil, his angels and all humans that reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to an eternal punishment, is to put evil away from the new heaven and the new earth, the kingdom of God, and the rest of the universe.
When those that are evil such as satan who goes about deceiving the nations and all his followers are put in an eternal inescapable prison, they cannot go about the universe stirring up strife, sewing discord among the brethren and causing general mayhem, chaos and death.
This punishment is not about putting a band on the problem to provide for a temporary deterrence. This punishment provides a permanent solution to the continual wars that satan and his followers start.
There are only two ways God can put the evil away from us.
1) Transform us into the image of Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, which He will do to all who are believers in Christ Jesus beginning with the rapture of the Church when Christ comes to take the church with Him into heave.
2) By taking all those that refuse to believe in Jesus Christ and lock them away in an inescapable prison and punish them forever for their refusal to repent from all their evil deeds and accept the forgiveness and remission of sin through the blood of His only begotten Son.
God has not only given us fair warning of this impending judgment on all that He has declared to be evil and offensive to Him, but He has given us a way to escape that punishment through the blood of His righteous and Holy Son the Lord Jesus Christ.
All we need to do to achieve that escape and receive that Pardon is both believe God regarding the report He gave concerning His son and ask Him for forgiveness and the redemption from sins.
Romans 10:8: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The thief on the cross asked for this salvation when he asked the Lord to remember him when He came into His kingdom.
Luke 23:40: But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41: And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luke 23:42: And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Luke 23:43: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

"The vast majority of people who would go to hell are just those who believed in a different religion, but otherwise aren't evil."
They are not evil in your eyes, but they are sinners in God's eyes.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12: They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
"If I was god I'd just make everyone infinitely happy for eternity, why bother with punishment?"
Not a single one of us deserves an eternity of happiness, but those that believe receive mercy and forgiveness; not condemnation.
God told Moses that He will be gracious to whom He will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom He will shew mercy .
Exodus 33:19: And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
It is neither just nor merciful to not have punishment.
Without punishment for sin, there is no justice.
Without justice, there can be no mercy.
Without mercy, there is no love.
You can refuse to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
You can disagree with who and what God is.
The only thing you succeed in doing however; is disagree yourself into the lake of fire.
God's judgment will always be just and true, and there are non that can say Him nay.
Wherefore, Let God be true and every man a liar.
Romans 3:3: For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4: God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Romans 3:5: But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6: God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7: For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8: And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9: What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

"Justice serves to keep society together and discourage bad behaviour. For what purpose? - to minimise suffering and maximise happiness. Punishing people when that brings nothing but suffering is pointless, no matter how much you think they deserve it"
Without justice, oppressors are allowed to oppress with impunity.
The end result is anarchy.
If you don't want yourself, your father, your mother, your brothers, your sisters, your wife and daughters raped, abused and murdered, you make sure that there are as few people around that do those things as is possible.
You insure that there are as few people around that do those things by demanding and fighting to insure that the law is enforced and that justice is served by them being punished.
People have an unalienable right to a society of law and order.
People do not have an unalienable right to anarchy and mayhem.
"The idea of "deserving" exists so we funnel resources to those who need them or can make use of them."
Funneling resources to those who need them in order to survive is one thing.
Funneling resources to those that do not need them, yet make use of them is foolhardy.
A valid millionaire does not have many needs, and those needs he may have he can no doubt attain.
No good purpose is served by funneling resources to people for the soul purpose of their using those funneled resources rather than their own resources other than the impoverishment of the nation.
"To deny someone something that could benefit them at no cost to yourself because you see them as undeserving is cruel and immoral"
It is not cruel and immoral to deny a person that which they are undeserving. It is justice.
There is no such thing as no cost to yourself.
Government social programs cost every tax payer personally through taxation.
Always remember, when the politicians say it won't cost anything, what they are really saying is that it won't cost them anything; because they are going to take your money through taxation, and spend your money on those programs.
The democrats passed campaign finance reform that will require the federal government to provide a multiple of 6 in matching funds for all funds donated at 200 dollars or less to a politician's campaigns for.
When AOC ran for the senate, she raised she raised 18 to 19 million dollars from donations that were all at $200 or less. With that law in place, the government would have to have given her $114,000,000 million dollars for her campaign.
Not only is this bad for the nation and federal budget, it can only be done by increasing taxes and forcing Americans to pay for the campaigns of politicians that they do not agree with. Regardless of their political views.
It can only be done by raising taxes that is unless the whole objective is to cause America to go bankrupt. In which case, you don't raise taxes. You keep printing paper money until the US dollar is completely worthless.
How do you like the increase in inflation?
That inflation is caused by both the excessive government spending and the excessive fiat currency that the federal reserve has printed in order to pay for that spending.
That spending and inflation is costing you personally and you didn't have to take money out of your pocket for it to cost you.
Your savings account. Is worth less today that it was worth six months ago.
There is no such thing as diverting resources not costing you personally.
You are going to pay for it either in higher taxes, or the higher cost of goods and services you need. The only way to stop your wealth being confiscated without just cause, and without due process, is by forcing government to hold to the same budgetary principles that every citizen must hold to.

"What if God said that raping children was moral, and that kindness was a sin? And what about different interpretations of the bible, which one is correct?"
The god that says raping children is moral or says kindness is a sin, is not the God in heaven that commands us to "Love your neighbor as yourself".
God will not say anything that is contrary to the law He has given us in the Bible. The different interpretations of the bible are irrelevant. God's interpretation of the bible is the only correct interpretation and that interpretation is found in the "as it is written" proper comprehension of God's word the Bible.
"Christianity is the product of a collection of social norms that were needed to maintain society in ancient times, solidified into religion over generations - both intentionally and unintentionally."
Christianity is the product of the Son of God coming down to earth, dying for our sins and rising from the dead the third day.
Everything the good that Christianity has produced over the nearly 2000 years since then were all intentional. Not only were they intentional by God Himself, God used sincere men and women that believed on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to effect the changes that occurred during their times.
The Christian that was the most instrumental of ending slavery in Great Britain, was a slave trader before converting to Christianity.
Likewise, it was American Christians that stood up against slavery in the 1800's that ultimately brought a forced end to slavery in America and the passage of the 13 Amendment.
"The idea of an omnipresent God that punishes and rewards you for certain behaviours is certainly a useful one, and religion provides a unifying force that encourages co-operation between believers."
It encourages?
It does more than encourage co-operation between believers, it mandates the co-operation between believers. Unfortunately, some believers are not so sincere and will fight you tooth and nail to insure that anything good you attempt to do, will fail. Even if the Bible specifically states that it is to be done.
"That kind of organised religion is a specific product of feudal society that helps reinforce it, just like religions of god-kings emerge from centralised empires, and religions of nature spirits emerge from hunter-gatherer society."
The only real problem with your view is that it is a lie.
While yes, there have been times throughout history when religionists turned their religion into an oppressive monstrosity of deplorable wickedness. Those individuals were not truly members of that religion and after their deaths found themselves in hell rather than heaven.
True Christianity however, has always reformed and returned to the way that Christ expected and will always do so. Christianity and biblical truth is the only reason that the United States is the most exceptional nation on earth. Though not perfectly, generations of Americans have followed the principles and commandments of Christ and by virtue of that have elevated and liberated people rather than enslave them.
As you have shown in your statement, is is very easy to deceive and fool men.
You actually believe that just because a man claims to be a Christian, he is a Christian and you are foolish enough to believe his words despite the fact that all his actions are an annoying amplified mega phone that declares, he is not.
The outcome of one's actions are as important as the claim of good that one's actions are supposed to deliver. A true Christian will stop any action that he is taking when he discovers that they do not bring about the expected outcome. A wicked person will continue with the actions because the wicked person is not genuinely concerned with obtaining a good outcome. The wicked person is only concerned with taking advantage and defrauding others for his own personal gain.

YouTube gave you a flat earth notice.
Apparently, just saying flat earth, constitutes a belief and teaching that the earth is flat.
One of the teachings of the flat earther claim is that the Bible teaches that God laid the foundation of the earth. Then they couple that with the false assumption that globes, do not have a foundation.
Psalms 102:25: Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
Isaiah 48:13: Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
Zechariah 12:1: The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Hebrews 1:10: And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
The Bible also teaches that the God sits on "the circle of the earth".
Apparently, the Hebrew language at the time, did not have a word for globe or ball.
Isaiah 40:22: It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
What they can't deny is that the earth is in space, as Job tells us that the Lord hanged the earth on nothing.
Job 26:7: He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Flat earthers are not as problematic as some other religious beliefs in society. Religious beliefs that adversely affect people's health such as;
Global warming.
Green energy tech is less harmful to the environment than the current energy tech.
It's OK to follow policies based on a lie because the out come looks true.
Ivermectine is not a valid treatment for COVD-19.
The gene splicing drug used to produce immunity from COVID-19 is a vaccine.
There are no adverse reactions to the COVID drug.
The COVID-19 drug is safe and effective.
Agenda 21 which calls for reducing the population of the earth by two thirds to three quarters.
Atheists that reject the existence of God despite the fact that many prophesies in the Bible are coming to pass before our eyes,
Agenda 21 fits the pattern of a third of population dieing as a result of a catastrophe.
Revelation 8:8: And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9: And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation 9:15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16: And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18: By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

"Ying and Yang, Heaven and Hell, but there's nothing to balance out Neurolink and AI"
There is a problem with that concept.
It is assumed that because there is good and evil, the one cannot exist without the other. This is in fact not true.
Darkness is the absence of light.
Light does not require the existence of darkness in order to exist.
Darkness requires the absence of light in order to exist.
Good is obedience to God's laws.
Evil is disobedience to God's laws.
Obedience does not need the existence of disobedience in order for obedience to exist.
Disobedience however, does need the existence of obedience in order for disobedience to exist.
Heaven does not need the existence of hell, to exist.
Heaven existed long before hell existed.
Hell, was created as a result of the disobedience of the devil and his angels and was therefore made for the devil and his angels.
The angels of the devil do not encompass only those angels that followed Lucifer in his rebellion against God, but every human that ever lived which refused to be obedient to God's law, and God's law of redemption.
The existence of hell permits the eventual separation of the disobedient, from the obedient, the unrighteous from the righteous, that the obedient righteous may live in perpetual peace and and loving obedient service to God.

"well truth be told I might have some explaining to do if I expect to get past St Peter at the gates of heaven."
Peter doesn't actually guard the gates of heaven. That job is God's.
"But with that being said the bible states all men fall short of the glory of god and can only be saved by grace so I have my fingers crossed."
That is why not a single one of us can earn our way into heaven. We can only rest on the merits of the work of Christ on the cross.
"I just hope Jesus truly died on the cross for my sins as is inked in the good book"
I assure you that He did die on the cross and rise the third day. I've seen the holes in His hands.
The God expects from us for salvation, is to "repent and believe on the name of His only begotten Son for salvation and the remission of sins.
John 3:14: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Matthew 26:28: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 2:36: Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37: Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Do not trust in whether or not you are good enough to enter into heaven, rather, trust in the work of Christ on the cross and believe in Him and on His name.
Luke 10:20: Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
When we believe on the name of the only begotten Son of God, our name is written in heaven.
When our name is written in heaven we are citizens of heaven and more so than this, we are Children of the King.
When we are citizens of heaven and children of the King, no one dare bar our entry into heaven, for who would dare say to the King: why bring this your son here?
When we believe on the name of Jesus Christ and accept His sacrifice for our sin, we do not rest on whether or not we can live up to being worthy of entry into heave. Nay, but we rest on the fact that He, by His shed blood on the cross, has made us worthy to enter heaven and because He has made us worthy to enter heaven, we struggle to keep His commandments as a witness to His grace and mercy and there is none that dare to prevent our entry into heaven.
Romans 8:15: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4:5: To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Ephesians 1:5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Do you believe this, that the work of Christ on the cross grants us entry into heaven if we believe on His name?
For this is the pleasure of the Father in heaven, that all come to repentance in faith by the death and resurrection of Christ on the cross.
2Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Those that advocate for the destruction of these United States, and the removal of the Constitution of the United States; will one day find themselves in chains being ordered about by their slave master.
Why so?
Because in advocating for the destruction of these United States, and the removal of the Constitution of these United States with such un-relentless judgment and condemnation of the founders of these United States; they advocate for a return to slavery which they themselves also decry.
And what punishment is more just to those that seek to enslave people; than that they themselves be sold into slavery and made slaves.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2: For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3: And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4: Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5: Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Luke 6:37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
39: And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
40: The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
41: And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
John 7:24: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

"Reality is the thing you run into."
James Lindsay
>>This is the theory the marxist will attempt to force reality into theory.
Revelation 13:14: And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15: And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Revelation 13:16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
>>This is the reality they will run into.
Revelation 14:9: And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10: The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13: And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

"Why do you believe an ancient religious text is relevant to the issue presented here?"
It's not as you say, an ancient religious text. It's a 1920+ year old prophesy that must come to pass and is going to come to pass in our lifetime.
"Additionally, why that specific text?"
That specific text foretells the globalists agenda.
When the one man they choose to lead their globalist government, economy and totalitarian regime, he will use modern technology to prevent people from making a living if they refuse to worship him as god.
It is literally the cancel culture on steroids and backed by satan himself.
"Have you searched the Torah, Quran, or Bhagavad Gita as well?"
The Torah is part of the 66 books of the Christian Bible.
The Bible is in fact the word of God. The other two, are human imaginings and deceptions that do not compare.
The Quran contains many writings that are plagiarized from the Old Testament and does not acknowledge Jesus Christ as the resurrected Son of God, the Messiah and soon to return King of kings.
As much as secularists like to make their false claims of equivalence among the various religious books, the Bible is the only religious book that contains prophesies of future events that have come to pass, and are coming to pass before our very eyes.
Revelation speaks of every eye on earth watching the two witnesses lay dead in the street for three and a half days, then rise from the dead and ascend up to heaven. That prophesy could not come to pass at any time over the past 1924 years. Today however, people use their cell phones to watch events that happen live on the opposite side of the planet. The cell phone and satellite technology that enables the cell phone technology to work, is within this prophesy, both prophesied and become a sign of that complete fulfillment of that prophesy in the not too distant future. Revelation 11:3 -12.
The Bible is not a superstitious book of religious text. The Bible is God's word and contains prophesies of events that God will cause to come to pass in these last days. And current events are moving down the path of their fulfillment.
Revelation 11:3: And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4: These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5: And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6: These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7: And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8: And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9: And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10: And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11: And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12: And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

The Bible is quite clear how this universe will end.
About 1000 years or so from now, the following will take place.
2Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11: Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12: Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13: Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Isaiah 65:17: For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isaiah 66:22: For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Revelation :21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

"Black holes can't exist because God wouldn't separate Himself from part of His creation."
That's not a Biblically based religious view.
Jesus tells us that people will be "cast out into outer darkness"
Given that light cannot escape a black hole, the term "outer darkness" fits the description of a black hole.
Matthew 8:12: But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Not only does Jesus mention outer darkness, He tells us that in judgment, many will be separated from Him.
Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 25:46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
People hold these views of God being so loving and kind that He would not punish anyone, because they prefer to continue in their immorality rather than turn from it and turn unto God for help defeating their own despicableness.
That's not love and therefore does not fit a God who is loving, just and merciful.
Love that is unjust, is not love.
Love that is not merciful, is not love.
Love that has mercy on the perpetrator, while inflicting more injury on the victim, is not love.
Mercy without justice is not mercy.
Justice without love and mercy, is not justice.
While people like to twist the definitions of words and claim an interpretation of words permits allowing the guilty to go free without punishment, such ideas do not exist in the Bible unless it is intentionally mistranslated or misinterpreted to be there.

"He didn't save people from this nightmare. So I don't think he does."
More people chose this nightmare than chose His righteous laws. In addition, there are prophesies that must come to pass. Those prophesies are on a countdown of fulfillment and that fact prevents Him from intervening whenever people want Him too.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:3: And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
The only way to get to a place where nations shall learn war no more is for all the earth to go through the brier patch as it were. We are in the time when the Lord shakes the heavens and the earth.
Isaiah 13:13: Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Haggai 2:6: For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
If you're expecting the LORD to refrain from accomplishing His word and become a liar in order to save you from the evil that is at hand, you will always be disappointed. God does not change, neither is He liar.
By my reckoning, we are less than 10 years from the return of Christ and the beginning of His 1000 year reign of peace on earth.
Malachi 3:6: For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Habakkuk 2:2: And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3: For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4: Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Lie 1) Jesus was basically a socialist.
The wicked take the parable in which the good man of the house gave to the last who worked not as long as those that had worked all day as being socialism.
Socialism does not give the good man the right to choose to do what he will with what is his.
What socialist claim to be socialism, is in fact a man having a compassionate heart and not willing that those who had worked for him, should go away without sufficient means to feed their family.
There is a big difference between socialism and capitalism.
Socialism enslaves and robs the individual of the opportunity to show love for his neighbor by robbing him of that which is lawfully his.
Capitalism liberates and provides the ability and opportunity, but does not require; an individual to show love for his neighbor.
Genuine love is voluntary and not mandated.
Love that is mandated, is not love, it is bondage and slavery.
Matthew 20:1: For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2: And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3: And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4: And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5: Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6: And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7: They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
8: So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9: And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10: But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11: And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12: Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13: But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14: Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15: Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Jesus taught us that the Kingdom of heaven is a capitalist society. Not socialism which based on thievery and steals and robs
The servants were rewarded for profits earned, not for profits stolen or for talents wasted.
Matthew 25:14: For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15: And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16: Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17: And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18: But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19: After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20: And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21: His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22: He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23: His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24: Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26: His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28: Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

Lie 2) Jesus didn't preach country first.
Jesus didn't just preach country first, He practiced country first.
Matthew 10:5: These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7: And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 23:37: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48: And ye are witnesses of these things.
49: And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Acts 1:6: When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
In fact, Jesus even called the Canaanites dogs.
Something you marxist left would use as a propaganda tool to claim He was not loving.
So, why did Jesus refuse her request and then subsequently heal the woman's daughter?
Because of her faith. Not only did Jesus want to show that His ministry was not just to Israel, He wanted to demonstrate to the Jews, the faith of one who was not a Jew, but a foreigner.
Matthew 15:22: And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23: But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24: But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25: Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26: But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27: And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28: Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Lie 3) Jesus preached love thy neighbor no matter what:
Jesus did not preach love thy neighbor no matter what.
Matthew 18:15: Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16: But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17: And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Jews in Christ's day shunned and did not associate with heathens and publicans.
Luke 22:35: And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36: Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
The purpose of the sword is for self defense so that if an enemy makes it necessary, you kill varmint. That's not loving no matter what.

"the levelized unsubsidized cost of renewables is still the lowest (if you remove subsidies from fossil fuels too, not just the power plants). they only become less competitive when you try to power 100% of the grid with them (because of the costs related to storage and intermitence), but if they only represent a part of the grid, even if as high as 80%, their cost drops a lot."
There's a big difference between fossils and renewables.
If we tap into the sources that are not yet tapped into, the cost of fossils go down and reduce overall inflation.
That won't happen with not really renewables.
The cost and action of mining the elements in order to build those; not really renewables, produces more pollution than advocates are willing to acknowledge.
Over all, after the extreme expense of switching to solar and wind, we will be no further ahead in the fight against carbon, than we are right now. That fact makes the expense of solar and wind, immoral.

"The urbane activity with which a man receives money is really marvellous, considering that we so earnestly believe money to be the root of all earthly ills,"
You're lack of knowledge of the scriptures is so clearly obvious too those with knowledge it is shameful.
Money is not the root of all evil. "The love of money is the root of all evil".
1Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
"and that on no account can a monied man enter heaven."
Being wealthy does not prevent a man from entering heaven.
Loving one's wealth above God and rejecting Jesus Christ, is what prevents a man from entering heaven.
The issue with the rich ruler was not his money. The issue was that he put more value in his money, than he did God's truth.
The man thought that he could attain heaven by doing a good thing.
Matthew 19:16: And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Jesus recites the commandments which the young man confirms adherence too doing.
Matthew 19:20: The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Then Jesus declares the ultimate truth, that only by following Him and believing on His name, can one enter into heaven.
Matthew 21: Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22: But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
People prefer their interpretation of scripture rather than the truth of God's word. There is nothing inherently evil in being rich.
In fact, a rich man can do more for the cause of God's kingdom by virtue of his wealth, than a poor man can. I have personally seen this play out; I have seen people accept a rich man entering into full time ministry and declare his great sacrifice and faith, whereas they despised and rejected a poor man seeking to do ministry by virtue of his poverty and while he was destitute and homeless.
Those people claim to worship the Great God in heaven when in fact, they are honor and worship wealth.

Anyone considering Universal Basic Income should realize that UBI will not allow you to afford anything, that those in charge, do not want you to afford.
You won't be able to purchase land.
You won't be able to afford a car.
You won't be able to afford insurance on a car.
You won't be allowed to save up enough money to take care of those unexpected emergencies.
If you save more money than allowed, you UBI will be reduced until your savings is depleted below the allowable amount.
If you decide to engage in business or religious activities that those in charge do not like, your UBI will either be reduced or canceled completely.
UBI will end up fulfilling of the mark of the beast prophesy in Revelation 13.
Revelation 13:15: And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

"Nurse Campbell pushed the shots when they came out"
When a medical professional advises others to take medicine as a result of false and misleading information he or she was given, and then, after finding out that the information was false and misleading, he or she expresses regret for having advised the taking of the medication and informs people that said medication is not good, that individual is not as culpable as those who intentionally lied and deceived the masses in order to make billions of dollars, at the expense of people's lives and health.
Claiming that John Campbell and others like him that now show regret for not only having taken the jab, but advised people to take the jab, is not only bearing false witness, it is scapegoating. You are attempting to divert attention away from the powers that be, which intentionally levied war against their perspective nations and people, and place the blame on those who were intentionally lied too, deceived and misinformed, as well as ordered to follow an evil protocol.
You're not seeking to fix the problem you are seeking to exacerbate the problem and that makes you part of the problem.

He's not much better than the left with is misleading accusations.
The bombing in Japan to bring an end to a war that would have cost more lives than the bombings took, needs to be atoned for?
No, actually it doesn't.
It was estimated that 1 million people would die if US troupes invaded Japan which was the natural outcome of Japan bombing Perl Harbor and the Japanese Emperor's unwillingness to surrender. In truth, it would likely have caused more deaths than that estimated million. The chaos of war cannot be controlled, and it's outcome cannot be estimated with absolute certainty.
Because of this, the lesser of the two evils was chosen and while dropping those two atomic bombs was in fact, horrendous, war in general is horrendous. Despite this fact, several hundred thousand lives were saved.
Has Japan atoned for the unprovoked bombing of Perl Harbor?
Regardless of the historical facts of a group of people defending themselves or their allies from atrocities committed by their enemies, this generation has the immoral tendency to vilify the victims of an attack, for turning out to be stronger than the attacker, and succeeding in putting down the attacker.
The United States did not bomb Japan's two cities without JUST cause. Japan however, did bomb the US naval fleet at Perl Harbor without JUST cause.
Don't allow the enemies of America; rewrite history.

"How dare you question me" is a religious attitude of pride.
That attitude is typical of religious leaders that presume that they are not to be questioned because they are God's prophet. They in essence; lord it over their flock.
But; what does God say about questioning leaders?
In Isaiah God says come and let us reason together.
You can not reason together if one is not permitted to ask questions.
Isaiah 1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Jesus tells us that we are not to exercise dominion or lordship over others. And while it is necessary to exercise both dominion and lordship in order to maintain law and order, that is not the same as exercising absolute dominion and lordship which people are not permitted to question.
Matthew 20:25: But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26: But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27: And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:42: But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43: But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45: For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

"That's odd. I thought Jesus knew EVERYTHING."
You are speaking in a literal, technical sense of the term. Jesus however, speaking figuratively said::
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

@PunchBuggyDreams
It appears that your responding post to me disappeared.
"Scott Tovey God GAVE us the DOI? It was on June 7, 1776, that Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion in Congress to declare independence. Other members of Congress were..."
You think that because a man or men have authored a document, that God is not owed credit, nor takes credit for the work done. You think that because unbelievers are involved, that God cannot influence them and guide them to do His desire. You are most certainly wrong.
Speaking of the desolate land of Israel, Isaiah prophesied that the wilderness would blossom. The prophesies of Isaiah 35:1-2 and 41:19-20 have come to pass in the land of Israel.
Lands that were once desert, over the years since the nation of Israel became a state in 1948, have become abundant crop lands.
God did this by using the Children of Israel to till the ground, to amend the soil and to find water for the fields so that the land could blossom and bring forth an abundant crop for His people.
No kingdom on earth has ever risen or fallen that God did not have a personal hand in. This is especially the case with the United States and Israel. Their are so many similarities between the United States and ancient Israel that the founding of the United States becomes an instance of history repeating itself.
The Declaration of Independence that was submitted to the continental Congress on July 2, 1776 is not the final draft that was subsequently passed into law on July 4, 1776.
One of the three men that was on the three man panel tasked to create the declaration of independence expected July 2, to be held as the day of liberty. But the people chose July 4, 1776 due to the Declaration of Independence being passed by the continental Congress and signed by President John Hancock.
What most people do not know about July 4, 1776, is that it is also the 17, Tammuz. The 17 Tammuz is the day in history that God gave the ten commandments to Moses, and told him to go down the mountain because the people had rebelled and sinned.
Even though there are many that will reject this statement, the fact will always remain that the United States is as much God's nation as the nation of Israel is, and God is taking back His America.
Isaiah 35:1: The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2: It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
Isaiah 41:19: I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
20: That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
Daniel 4:17: This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

"If you disagree with neitezche entirely, fair enough, that's the beauty of an individual's philosophy, nobody is right."
"You claim neitezche, a dead man, has found out that God is alive and well."
Given this is the statement you are responding too, the answer to your question;
"how do u know did God send his divine message to you?"
So to speak, yes.
Atheists have a problem with this, but then, believers have a problem with this as well.
I seen a video in which Dawkins is quoted as saying that "we are lumbering robots with a genetically programed brain". Despite his statement, Dawkins is said to have been an atheist which is contrary to his own philosophy of us being lumbering robots..
For genetics to program our brains, the genetic code must be a language.
The only way language can exist is through intelligence.
What this tells me is that Dawkins refused to believe his own philosophy of an intelligent creator.
Everyone, whether they believe God exists or not are judged after death.
Those that have chosen to believe in Christ and accept Him as Lord and Savior, are absent from the body and present with the Lord.
Those that have rejected faith in Christ, are absent from the body and in an inhospitable place.
In the end, the only one that will be right, is God as God is always right.
Keep this in mind the next time you run across a discussion over how a specific prophetic passage is supposed to be interpreted.
The only interpretation that is correct is God's purpose and intent of that prophesy and we may or may not understand it until we see it fulfilled and then realize that the fulfillment is the correct understanding of the prophesy.
The mark of the beast in revelation for instance.
No one can buy and sell except they take the mark of the beast. ~Revelation 13:17
Revelation 13:17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
At no time in history could that Revelation 13:17 come to pass, but now with the advent of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which will be turned into a global control structure, that prophesy is on the verge of coming to pass.

The Presidential pardon does not extend to violations of State laws.
Nor does it extend to violation of laws in foreign lands.
From:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_pardons_in_the_United_States
Federal pardons in the United States are granted only by the U.S. president, pursuant to their authority under the U.S. Constitution to grant "reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States".[1] Pardons extend to all federal criminal offenses, except in cases of impeachment,[1][2] and entail various forms of clemency, including commuting or postponing a sentence, remitting a fine or restitution, delaying the imposition of a punishment, and providing amnesty to an entire group or class of individuals.[3][4] The pardon power extends to cases involving courts-martial against members of the United States Armed Forces, including the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, and the Space Force.
The president may grant pardons on their own accord or in response to requests made through the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of the Pardon Attorney.[5] The Pardon Attorney investigates and reviews applications for clemency but serves only an advisory role; the president may disregard the findings or bypass the office altogether.[6]
The president's pardon power extends to offenses committed in the District of Columbia. [United States v. Perkins (1885).] However, it does not extend to violations of state laws.
Since the Constitution specifically states: "A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime," Fauci can still be held to account for his crimes of fraud and medical malpractice.
They can be charged according to State laws.
Article. IV. - The States
Section 2 - State citizens, Extradition
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.
(No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, But shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.) (This clause in parentheses is superseded by the 13th Amendment.)

"Sabine, our only hope is to continue supporting organizations such as the one you promote on your channel, Planet Wild. If you care about the environment, i.e. the Planet, I recommend you look into Regenerative Farming/Ranching. Especially with people such as Will Harris and Gabe Brown. We can't fight this battle without restoring natural systems."
I don't have a problem with you giving your hard earned money to an organization like Planet Wild. That is your prerogative.
I am completely against you demanding that tax dollars fund those organizations.
Once tax dollars get involved, greed and corruption becomes endemic.
I've seen this in city governments, State governments and, as DOGE has been revealing now; the Federal government.
If you love a cause, go ahead and fund it. Just don't expect that everyone is going to agree with your position and keep on keeping on. When they are convinced that what you are supporting is a good idea, they may choose to reach into their pockets, but don't expect or count on it.

I stopped participating in surveys like this years ago as I realized that they do not accurately reflect my opinion. Nor can they.
I began an exit survey back in 2013 when I finished the certificate programs at the local community college I was taking. As I progressed through the questions, I realized that the questions were designed in such a way as to force the graduate, to give nothing but positive feedback in the survey. Not a single question was provided that would allow the graduate to criticize the college. Thus, the improprieties I encountered during the time I took the classes, would never be addressed, or corrected. Improprieties such as having a class on the PHP programming language that was required, and after the third week, was switched over to the Java programming language.
Surveys like this are often used in tech with the claim that they want to improve service and reliability, yet, the survey very often, does not include a question regarding an actual real use problem users may encounter.
Surveys like this, "that have no right or wrong answers", are used in a company hiring process to discriminate against people that have a specific, point of view. The use of these employment surveys is how company rank and file became filled with a majority of leftists that hyperventilate when one insists that only individuals that match the traditional definition of woman can bear children.
All this is, is an attempt by this group of self designated superiors, to gain power and control over what scientists think and support.
Surveys like these have no place in science or the hiring employment process.

@Afghan31
"The majority of young people can exercise, so whats your point?"
My point is; your so broke you can't pay attention:
If you had read what I posted before, you would have seen my point and why in my view, you are an idiot. Focus on number 2.
1) You don't need government mandated healthcare for all of that to happen.
2) Just because a person can improve their health with exercise; does not mean a given person can actually exercise.
You have tunnel vision; your mind is so focused on the young and healthy, that you disregard the issues that the unhealthy have.
It's no different than the fool that sucker punched a man in the store for not wearing a mask. The man not wearing a mask in question has health issues that prevent him from wearing a mask and is therefore exempt from any order.
The sucker puncher completely disregarded the possibility that this individual, not wearing a mask may have valid reasons for not doing so such as diminished lung capacity.
The end result of the sucker punching incident is that the sucker puncher moving in to attack the non masker again; ended up sprawled out on the floor unconscious.
You completely disregard the fact that not everyone can exercise and go to the young and healthy mantra.
That's what makes you the idiot. You are focusing on the young and healthy that for the most part do not need to exercise, while disregarding the sick ones that cannot exercise.
That's as intelligent as the self proclaimed genius Linux geek that declared a medical doctor an idiot for not being able to administer his computer.
He was not aware of it but the delusional Linux geek was the actual idiot, as he is following a world view that can never, and will never happen. That world view being: every human being on the planet must become an advanced computer systems administrator. It really is a bimbo minded position to take.
"You're a useful idiot for the fast food corporations."
Coming from a person that has a history of heart disease; fast food does have some benefits that is not generally regarded or accepted.
There were times when I would be having chest pains due to the surgery to drain fluid off my heart and when I went to McDonalds for the rare, once a month or so burger and fries; the pain would go away for a week or two.
There was something in that burger that my body needed which it was not getting from my; non fast food "healthier diet".
Things are not always what they seem; this is especially true when your stuck in an infinite loop, unable to see beyond trying to solve a problem with the same solution that failed the last several times you tried it in the past two hours.
The only way to break out of that infinite loop is stop what you're doing, get up and walk away from the problem. Then, once you are away from trying to fix what is not working with what will not work; you may see clearly to a genuine solution.

@selfloveisthekey
"I don't believe it's as simple as that. I will vote for what I believe in, but what if votes are not counted properly? What if the system will place whoever they choose in the positions, regardless of.who has the most votes? What if the person I want to vote for is not allowed to run? Will voting for the lesser of two evils be the same as voting for someone who'd actually make a difference? To me, if feels like an illusion..."
The lesser of two evils is not always the lesser of two evils.
Sometimes, it's the greater evil posing as the lesser of two evils.
Take Trump for instance.
Trump was vilified not because he was flawed, but because he was effective in doing the right thing.
The people that vilified him because has flaws, rather than appreciating the good job he did, refused to vote for him because it turned out that he was not a perfect god that obeyed everything they commanded.
They will claim that they did not vote for Biden, but by not voting for Trump, they voted to let Biden be elected which is the same as voting for Biden.
While voting one's conscience sounds good on the face of it, many people that will tell you to do so, don't really want you to vote "your" conscience, they want you to vote their way and their way is not necessarily the right way.
The more people that vote for Trump in November, the harder it will be for the democrats to cheat the way they did in 2020. While people on the left will claim that's a conspiracy theory, the fact of the matter is; you cannot have the high number of legitimate complaints that were not investigated, without real nefarious activity going on. Where there is smoke, there is fire.
It is not possible to have, in at least one district, more cast votes in the district than people that actually reside in that district, without cheating going on. But the left will claim it didn't happen. The videos that showed pollsters cheating, in their mind doesn't exist if you can't remember the hard to remember cryptic url address of the video.
People that allow their hate for a man to override their love for country, are evil traitors that need to be exiled and stripped of their citizenship.

"What happened to the concepts of political freedom in your nomenclature?"
The habitual lies and levying war against the United States of America by the anti-American left; destroyed it.
By the way, there are limits to freedom. Just as freedom of speech does not permit one to cry fire in a crowded theater, political freedom does not permit one to levy war against the United States, nor does it permit one to adhere to the enemies of the United States and give them aide and comfort.
All elected Senators and Representatives have a legal obligation to take an oath of office that they will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. "shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution (Article VI)". Democrats habitually pass legislation to abridge the rights of the people that are enshrined and protected by the Constitution of the United States.
United States Constitution
Article III. - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 – Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Article. VI. - Debts, Supremacy, Oaths
All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

"Well I don't see many people accepting to die in povety instead of competing with others for profit.
Everything is subject to material conditions."
I have found, that which ever side of this argument people are on, those that have money, are the least likely to help those in need.
Those on your side of the isle, claim to be helping the poor, but all they do is exacerbate poverty with policies and programs that cannot and never will work.
I've heard the arguments on both sides in many different forms.
Some sound even more spiritual and truthful than your statement.
In the end, it's nothing more than pure, unadulterated hate.
There is no moral or spiritual law that requires the righteous to live in or die from poverty. God gives us strength to get wealth.
There is nothing righteous about being poor, nor is there anything righteous about being rich. A person's financial status does not declare them holy, nor does it declare them unholy, unless they obtained their wealth through nefarious means.
God gives people the power to get wealth.
God is pro capitalism.
Deuteronomy 8:18: But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
There is however, a moral and spiritual obligation for those that have this world's good, to help the poor.
Deuteronomy 15:11: For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
1John 3:17: But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

"Much of what is in the published literature is nonsense, and much of what isn't nonsense is not in the scientific literature."
Correct, and what isn't in the scientific literature, is dismissed as "anecdotal evidents", which according to one medical professional, "means that scientifically, it does not exist".
In addition, those that dismiss the unpublished literature as non existing, are the same people that prevent the unpublished data that makes sense, from being published. By doing so, they control what medical knowledge and scientific knowledge, is available to the public so that they can claim they are the experts with the pHd.
What you can expect for the future of AI is a gradual takeover of AI databases by the marxist left which will use AI to control the world.
This global domination and the alleged peace it will have brought however, will be short lived because ultimately, people will not like starving to death on the massive scale that will be implemented in an effort to reduce the global population down to the 500 million that globalist envision.
The beast system will last no more than 42 months and will be destroyed at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to save Israel from complete annihilation.

"these improvements in new generation of models are only incremental, sometimes marginal, for instance some corporations claim that Claude 3.7 does not perform noticeably better than Claude 3.5"
It's a marketing scam.
The same thing was done with the Java Runtime Environment back in the 90s.
Each new version was declared to be much faster than the last version.
Yet, upon updating to the newer version, I would still be waiting several seconds for the program to come on the screen after clicking on the icon.
It was faster, but it was microseconds faster, not noticeably faster.
In addition, it may have been much faster on the newer Pentium class machines of the day, which companies could easily afford, but if you didn't have the money to drop $1200 on a new computer every year, and were still running a 486, it was no more faster than the previous version.
The reasons I ultimately decided to stop messing with Java apps were: 1) They were too clunky on my low end computer.
2) I don't trust people that habitually lie to me, and claim it's not really a lie, it's marketing.
The claim of a system being faster is all relative and dependent upon the power of the hardware. If they had said that: in tests, the new JVM ran 5 seconds faster on a Pentium class machine, then it would not have been a lie. By leaving the details of that pertinent information out, they made their claim of faster, a lie.

"The Founders, hard working men, produced those documents."
The founders, did not come to a conclusion until after they had prayed.
The founders did not pass the Declaration of Independence of the 13 Colonies until they had both prayed and discussed what ought to be in the document.
The founders, did not come to agreement regarding what should be in the Constitution, until after they had prayed for wisdom and guidance, the prayer being prompted by Benjamin Franklin.
After they prayed, they began to agree on specifics and those agreed upon specifics came to exist within those documents.
"Enough with the delusional God did it."
Those that deny the existence of a Creator God, despite the fact that the technical specifications that enable the universe to exist are set before their eyes, are they that are delusional.
Those that acknowledge that it is impossible for the technical specifications, that enable the universe and life to exist, to come into existence without a Creator God; are not delusional.
The technical specifications of the human brain that enables man to think, and develop advanced computer devices, is far more advanced than the technology that man has created, with the use of said brain.
Enough with the delusional atheism that denies the existence of God.

"I'd be worried the former could just spread the "science can't be trusted" hype riding the exponential "institutions can't be trusted" trend. You got my upvote regardless of course! :D"
By being to afraid to speak the truth, you exacerbate the problem and allow it to continue.
The problem is not that science can't be trusted; the problem is that liars can't be trusted. And there are plenty of liars and greedy, power hungry individuals in science as well as institutions, that seek to control people and will fabricate or delete data, in order to achieve their nefarious goals.
When there is disagreement on a subject and path to follow, the best course of action is to do nothing. If one side of the debate actively seeks to cancel and sensor the other side of the debate as we have seen over the past four years, it is more likely due to the cancelers having lied and fabricated their evidence, than those they seek to cancel, being wrong.
The best course of action at this point is to do nothing, and allow further debate and research to be conducted. Only a coward and a traitor implements toxic policies that harm the nation entire, than patiently waiting to see the truth of the matter.

"Very, very unlikely. My fate was sealed when I was born. Genetic heart condition."
That's this lifetime and this age; what about the next age and the rest of eternity.
While we are not promised longevity in this life and this age, we are given a promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and His sacrificial work on the cross.
A wise man would be sure to ask Jesus Christ to be his Lord and Savior.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

"its so sad that everyone wants to be the bigger victim"
There are no bigger victims.
There are only worse circumstances that are disavowed by those that go about harming people.
The very thief that steals from you then tells you that you need to take responsibility for your actions which permitted him to steal from you.
Apathetic people like to throw around arbitrary statements as if they are absolute truths that fit every circumstance. Statements that provide no real or valid instruction on how to deal with a given situation such as; "Go out and sew seed and bring back the fruit", "You need to take responsibility for your actions", "You're not supposed to be counting on man, you're supposed to trust God", "just believe and God will provide", and "just take a step of faith".
So before you take the attitude that everyone is trying to be a victim, find out whether or not the individual has been victimized. As is typical of the left, they do exactly the opposite of what they claim to be about.
The left claim to be for the downtrodden, the poor and the needy but they are not. They are only for using those of us that have been through some very real life threatening ordeals and making it look lie we who have been victimized, do not have a valid claim when in fact, it is their claims that are not valid.

"I’m not sure where you’re coming from pertaining to not getting help from religious organization.
What you give to the the church is God’s money. You should never ask for a helping hand back. I don’t think it works that way."
That's a false doctrine.
Jesus gave two commandments and one prophetic warning regarding how Christians are to treat one another.
1) Make friends that have your back and be the kind of friends that have each other's back.
>>>Luke 16:9: And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
2) Love one another even as He loved us.
>>>John 13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
The warning in the sheep and goat judgment in Matthew 25:33-46.
>>>Matthew 12:47: Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48: But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49: And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
>>>Matthew 25:33: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34: Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
>>>Matthew 25:40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
>>>Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
>>>Matthew 25:45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The only time Jesus said to give without expecting anything in return is to give to the poor without expecting anything in return.
>>>Luke 14:12: Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
>>>13: But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
>>>14: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Jesus also said that when we give, we will be given unto.
>>>Luke 6:38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Now if you give unto men, then men shall give unto you, but the hypocrites demand of men to be given unto themselves, then when such men come into need, demand that they receive not of men, but of God.
Now, even if I give without expecting nothing in return, most assuredly, God expects that those to whom I have given and are richer than myself, should most certainly give unto me.
If I have given unto those wealthy so that they may go about preaching the gospel, and those same wealthy refuse to give unto me, the poor, so that I may go about preaching the gospel; what does that say about their religion and their doctrine?
The doctrine that you should not ask your church for help is a false doctrine and for a Church that has received from their members tithe and offering to refuse to aid the member that gave tithe and offering, is an act of war against the kingdom of God. They have brought upon them a curse as Jesus has judged and declared.
Besides, this if they are not willing to aid the poor in the congregation with food and water.
If they are not willing to have faith to aid the poor of the congregation to do God's will and preach; of whom it is most often demanded that they give in order to be blessed.
How then have they obeyed Christ's commandment to love one another as He loved us seeing that they have allowed an able bodied man to become disabled for lack of food?
"Do you ever see Japanese Americans blaming whites for what they were out though?"
I can't say that I have. Though I do believe Congress passed a resolution a few years back apologizing to the Japanese Americans that were sent to internment camps.
"Some Koreans and other Asians of today still blame Japanese saying stuff like do you know what YOUR people did to MY people?
Some people just harbor victim mentality. They tend to be liberals and miserable people. This hate just consumes them."
People that do not exercise forgiveness, get stuck in that mentality.
>>>Matthew 12:47: Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48: But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49: And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
>>>Matthew 25:31: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34: Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37: Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38: When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39: Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44: Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

"the church is the body of Christ. It’s not a building. Whatever you tithe is to the Lord."
I asked people that claimed to be Christian for help.
I didn't ask a building for help.
"If you are need the you pray and you shall receive if God sees fit. "
Why are you so rebellious against the Lord's commandments to love one another?
"When you give to no matter who it’s a gift not a loan."
So, I am obligated to give to the church and others, but they can murder me with hunger and destitution.
That is one of the most vile, evil, and hateful things ever devised by religionists.
On the one hand; they promise a blessing from God and say God will provide when you give to them.
On the other hand; they blaspheme the Holy name of God, and declare God to be unable to provide by refusing to obey the commandments of God to love your neighbor as yourself, and to love one another as Christ loved them.
God did not promise to bless the poor if they give to the work of the church.
God promised to bless those that have, if they give to the poor that are in need.
As I have shown in scripture, refusing to give aid to a brother or sister in Christ that come into need when you have this world's good, is a curse unto those that refuse to give.
America is cursed with a curse because your false doctrine has cursed America and many church leaders operate from a hate based doctrine that does not give aid to the needy. Jesus calls those that do so cursed and sentences them to eternal punishment.
I will no longer consider people who hold this selfish, greedy, and wicked doctrine Christian. Because Jesus said they are not Christian.

The suggestion that studying the edge of something, will tell you what's going on inside, is easily disproven.
You can study the surface of the ocean all you want, and it will never inform you of all the activities being conducted by all the oceans' creatures at lower depths.
It is true of course, that if a hurricane is moving across the ocean, the ocean beneath that hurricane is going to be to some degree, just as turbulent as the ocean surface. One can also assume that the creatures beneath avoided the storm by swimming in a direction that enabled them to avoid said storm.
On any given day where there is no turbulent storm, the ocean beneath will seem to be just as calm, yet it will be filled with the hustle and bustle of oceanic life where it does reside, and studying the surface of the areas of the ocean where there is life beneath, will not necessarily inform you of the life beneath, unless there is life above.

"People make mistakes.
if they were lying they would have changed the out patients levels. But that does not fit your narrative."
As if it has to fit my narrative to not be suspicious.
That makes you less intelligent than you think you are.
Certainly, not suspicious enough to avoid being deceived and stuck in the arm with an untested drug that is more likely to kill you than the virus it is supposed to protect you from.
The micro point is, if you want people to believe you when you are speaking the truth, you have to be so accurate and forthcoming with data, that people accuse you of having OCD. You have to be so accurate and detailed that any honest error you make and don't catch, will be obvious and clear to someone that catches it, and they will point out the error.
There is no longer time for people to argue their position without also revealing the facts and data that has lead them to that position.
Do you think this is over kill?
Of course it is. But that is how you defeat and overthrow an overkill of people habitually lying to the populous and claiming that any questioning of them, is questioning science.
Or, you can just keep going on the way you are and people will presume that you are a government spy looking to silence the truth with nonsensical generalizations.
Personally, I don't thin you are smart enough to implement my solution to the epidemic of lies and restore trust. I've seen your type before. I've confronted your type before. You think the piece of paper you got from university makes you instantaneously smart like the scarecrow in the wizard of Oz. But the fact of the matter is; a piece of paper doesn't give you a brain. And it doesn't matter how much education you have.
If you are an idiot when you start college or university, you will be nothing more than an educated idiot when you finish college or university because you will believe the biggest lie they defraud students with. That having a degree makes a person smart like the scarecrow with the degree, and not having a degree makes a person dumb like the scarecrow without the degree. But the truth of the matter is; the scarecrow did not have a brain before getting the degree, and the scarecrow didn't have a brain after getting the degree.
It doesn't take a whole lot to memorize and throw out facts.
It takes a logical thought process of critical thinking, to analyze that data properly.

Some one, that you take seriously.
Fair enough.
"You are far too entrenched to have a reasonable debate about this specific swindon case."
The only reason y0u hold that opinion is because you are too lazy to read my entire original post.
Real solutions to problems can never be made concise.
If you do so, an idiot will assume everything is up to interpretation and use that as an excuse to double down on the stupidity that caused the mistake, and then make everything ten times worse if they had just left it alone.
Case in point, the lock downs that did more harm than good.
"Some one made a mistake and not checked. Not everything is a conspiracy."
Everything is a conspiracy if you don't want to take the steps necessary to insure that in correcting a mistake, the cause of the mistake is made transparently known as well as how the mistake was corrected.
It is also a conspiracy when the alleged correction of the mistake, has an undeniable mistake in it.
"It happens. Does anyone ever make mistakes at your work? Of course they do!!!!"
Let's see. The last jobs I had someone did make a mistake.
In the last full time job I had I was terminated because I was taking a legally obligated 15 minute coffee break after being on the road for 6 straight hours.
The last part time job I had, I was terminated from a job because, someone decided that rather than transferring me to a lighter duty job, until I could figure out why I was so weak I couldn't throw 40 and 50 pound bags around for 2 straight hours without taking a breather.
Yeah, sure. People make mistakes and mistakes can be forgiven.
The question is; are you going to make damn sure that should you make a mistake, it won't negatively affect the life of another person?
If you have a problem with taking precautions against such mistakes, and insuring that when such mistakes do happen, they are addressed transparently in such a way as to insure they do not happen again. Then you are part of the problem.
What I see in you is a callous individual that shrugs off mistakes as though they are unimportant, as though they don't matter, as though improvements are not necessary, and as though they won't one day cause the death of another human being, perhaps you.
You're naiveté will one day come back to roost, and you will suffer from as a result of choosing to remain naive.
Mistakes happen yes, but mistakes must always be addressed from the stand point that you learn from the mistake. You grow from the mistake. You improve from the mistake. And you take steps so that the mistake never happens again. Otherwise, you risk never seeing the forest for the trees, and you will continue to fail to water your crops and wonder why you can never grow any food.

"they said they will improve by checking before sending.
Hence it’s been addressed."
Just because they said it's been addressed, does not mean it's been addressed. And their idea of addressing it appears to be making things up.
And ten months later you are still waiting for that refund they were supposed to receive within 45 days.
"I am acting callous about the mistake as I am realistic."
Actually, you are being naive.
Until they show you how they addressed the mistake, the mistake has not been addressed. Until they show you how they are providing accurate data so that you know for a fact the data is accurate, you should be holding them suspect.
"The real data does not show any significant issue regarding covid and covid vaccines."
That's the problem, because there is a significan issue regarding both covid and covid mRNA drugs.
With the original strain of COVID, there is a 1 in 2000 chance of an individual having an adverse condition that leads to hospitalization, and death.
With the mRNA COVID drugs, there is a 1 in 800 chance of an individual having a severe reaction that leads to a severe medical condition, disability or death.
That makes non elevated numbers are a lie.
"This is not the same as making a mistake when the NHS are operating on some one etc.
Or when you not allowed breaks and get to tired.
They harm someone one.
This was a mistake and been corrected,
John got some egg on his face.
Lots of readers now want to think it’s a conspiracy, but they we’re conspiracy theorists before anyway."
This was a cover up plain and simple, and the claim that the new data which does not have elevated numbers is correct; is false and a misrepresentation to the known facts and issues of both COVID and the mRNA COVID drugs that result in elevated sever health issues.
Undoer normal circumstances, the mRNA drug would never have been released onto the market and if the population had been left untreated by that drug, fewer people would have died.
The data therefore is false and does not resemble the reality of the history of COVID and the mRNA drug.

"Oh, do you believe the original figures were correct? If so, how would you explain Swindon having THREE HUNDRED TIMES the average number of pericarditis incidences per year before the pandemic even started? Use your brain, if you have one."
It's about trust.
After all the intentional misrepresentation of the truth that certain individuals engaged in, in order to line their pockets, it's no longer just about accepting one set of numbers over the other.
It's about trust.
Trust is built, not demanded.
If you lie to me, I will cease to trust you.
You can demand that I trust you all you want; but all that will succeed in doing is convince me that I need to lock and load and be ready to open fire when you are around.
If People In Government Service want to be trusted, THEY must REBUILD that trust through complete transparency.
The fact that the corrected numbers indicate that more people were released from hospital than were admitted to hospital with the one of the two conditions, not only requires explanation but also requires that one be very skeptical of the new numbers now presented as the correct numbers.
They broke trust. The only way they can REBUILD trust is to present the raw data to the public and allow the data to be peer reviewed by multiple parties that would like to do so.
After 6+ years of political bureaucracies lying to the public and in their face about what "they must believe"; an unwillingness to simply trust what the political bureaucracies say is a very healthy position to take for a people that love freedom and liberty. To not have that unwillingness is not just unhealthy, it is suicidal.
It is reasonable to expect an elevation of the conditions because you are dealing with both a virus that is known to cause Myocarditis as well as a drug to treat the virus that has previously been linked to causing Myocarditis. Thus, an apparent lack of increase, is unreasonable.
Claiming that the corrected data must be trusted without question despite not showing an elevation; is a good indication that it is you who are the one without a brain.

"Targeting gluttons"
Wrong; they are targeting the poor.
When I got to the point that I could no longer tolerate 80+ summer temperatures I began to use my apartment's central air more often.
Prior to this, I would plug in a fan and keep it going and use the AC when the temps got into the upper 80s.
I received several notices from the utility company warning me that I was using more energy than before and it was suggested that I need to take necessary actions to reduce my power consumption.
This is not about conserving energy. This is about putting undue and unnecessary demands upon the American consumer despite the fact that under President Trump's policies, the United States surpassed the Paris environmental deal that President Trump pulled America out of. This is about pushing energy production technology that cannot cope with the growing power demands that we as a growing nation have.
All these environmental delusional extremist lies are about destroying the United States of America. With these policies; politicians are levying war against the United States for the sole purpose of destroying the United States.
"You can't fault the CEC and public utility for wanting to reduce this waste."
Yes you can!
For decades, California environmental policies have been about conservation rather than production. As a result; California does not produce as much energy as the citizens of the state of California need. This is a violation of the rights of the people of California.
What leftism did to California residents, they want to do the the whole of the United States. These extremist policies are levying war against the United States. Rather than growing the economy and developing more efficient forms of energy production and developing them so that they are affordable; the marxist environmentalist left want to reduce energy consumption and force totalitarian dictatorial despotism upon the nations as a whole.
They are levying war against the United States.
They are adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort.
When Biden shut down the pipeline from Canada to the US and started up the Russian pipeline. He levied war against the United States. He adhered to the enemy (Russia), of the United States and gave them aid and comfort.
The Democrats as a whole are traitors. The Biden administration, including Harris, Pelosi, Shumar and the RINOs that side with them are traitors.
There are many traitors standing in congress and the White House.
The MSM accused Trump of treason and had no evidence to back up their accusation.
Once in office, Biden has been committing treason before our very eyes and the MSM disregard every act of treason that the democrats and the RINOs commit. The reason being is they themselves are traitors as well.

Sabine, The United States is a Republic because, according to Article IV Section 4 of the US Constitution;
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government"
Thus, the United States is a Republic, whose representative are elected through the democratic process.
Democrats that call the United States a democracy, are in fact, violating the Constitutions mandate to guarantee to every State in this Union, a Republican Form of Government.
The Electoral college is part of the checks and balances set in place, to hinder the from regressing into mob rule and end up in Civil War, or worse, become the next tyrannical, totalitarian, marxist regime.
The Constitution is not a list of suggested policies that the government is to follow, it is the Supreme law of the land established by the people of the United States, to protect the rights and liberties of the people of the United States. Marxist however, prefer to disregard the Constitution as a law that need not be upheld or obeyed by the government.
Article. IV. - The States
Section 4 - Republican government
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Investing in companies that build China's military infrastructure is adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort.
It is treason.
Should we end up in a shooting war with china, that adhering to the enemies elevates to levying war against the United States.
It is treason.
So, if you want to stop that investment, all you need to do is start arresting the top greed mongers and charging them with treason and don't plea bargain the charge down to a lesser crime.
Once people realize that there are real consequences of investing in the wrong companies, they will stop doing it.
Note how intent is not mentioned in Article III Section 3.
This means that you do not have to intend to commit treason in order to be guilty of committing treason. Thus, any claim of not guilty by virtue of not intending to commit treason, is not a valid defense. And when you point this fact out to a jury of 12, they will find the accused guilty as charged.
United States Constitution
Article III. - The Judicial Branch
Section 3 – Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Those are not woke concepts the are biblical principles.
Learning,
Deuteronomy 6:1: Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
Deuteronomy 6:7: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
admitting you are wrong,
Leviticus 5:5: And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
correcting course
2Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Proverbs 28:13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
considering obvious consequences
1Kings 8:33: When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:

"World leaders? This belongs on the American people."
Yes, World leaders.
It was the the WHO that first said there was not a problem with COVID-19.
Then it was the WHO that said we need a lock down.
Fauci and company had similar flip flopping on policies that rather than reducing the problem, exacerbated it.
President Trump ordered a border lock down and the marxist leftist democrats screamed that it was "racism".
So first it lies on the shoulders of world leaders that played this game of cat and mouse in order to gain control of every nation on earth.
Do American civilians hold some responsibility for the lock down?
Yes, rather than standing up and upholding the Constitution of the United States, they coward in fear, gave up their rights, and verbally attacked those that stood against the mandates.
The current situation is not an "American people" problem.
It is the same problem as it was under COVID.
Totalitarian tyrants in government, that do not respect the Constitution and the rights of the people, seek to abridge the rights of the people.
All the birds and cattle slaughtered in order to stop the bird flu will not stop the bird flu. As has been learned under COVID, the best response to a pandemic is to get society as a whole supplementing with vitamin D3, make sure that therapeutics such as Ivermectine and Hydroxy Chloroquine are readily available to administer to patients so that their bodies are not overwhelmed with inflammation as they are recovering from the virus.
Now here's a question that I've not heard asked in regards to the food factories Sabine mentioned; if those factories are shut down, given the activism not only in the USA, but European nations as well, to reduce food production by reducing gas and diesel consumption, and turning farm lands into nature preserves, how exactly do you propose to produce as much food as is necessary to feed the world's population?

"right, so we should start going backwards then yeah? Because you need cheap gas? Yes they ramped up (hard to avoid given the entire world has outsourced manufacturing there), but they are implementing massively aggressive policy and are on track to significantly reduce emissions over the next 30 years or so."
When policy is based on a lie, and much of the energy policy is based on lies, you stop following them, especially when it is clear and obvious that the goals set are impossible to reach and they are therefore failures out the door. To do otherwise, is to adhere to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort. A thing the US Constitution calls treason.
" The US barely did anything, our curve is pretty much flat, and yet people like yourself seem to want to call it “game over, it was worth a try, back to 1950” and are voting in people who will make sure that happens."
That statement is composed of lies.
Lie 1) Under Trump, despite the fact that Trump pulled the US out of Obama's climate agreement, the US reduced it's carbon output below that of what was required under the agreement.
Lie 2) No one has ever said that we should go back to the 1950s regarding climate cleanliness policies. Even if all the US did was maintain it's 2020 policies in effect under Trump, the US would still be the cleanest petroleum producing nation on earth.
"A sure sign of a denier is the whataboutism. The fact that you don’t care about what we’re doing and immediately deflect to “the other guy” says it all. What happens when there is no one left to point at? Blame some other bullshit?"
Again, your the denier. You are denying the fact that Biden's whole energy program is predicated on lies. Nothing designed around lies can succeed as the lies always are the result of two things; 1) denying reality, and 2) using the situation to make as much money as possible.
Every agenda that left puts forth is a failure out the door because they are always lying and cannot be trusted, and they instigate problems which they then make as much money off of as they can.
If you want me to fix the problem several things have to happen.
1) to give me the problem.
2) keep your hands off
3) keep your mouth shut, your opinion that is based on false and misleading information is irrelevant.
4) do as your told,
5) don't interfere.
I only have one agenda when it comes to any problem, that agenda is to solve the problem permanently.

"but I must say, taxpayers are not paying for anyone's insurance."
That seems to be the case on the face of it, but when you go deeper it is not the case.
The flood fund is in the hole. If that deficit is paid for by tax payer dollars, then tax payers are paying for the insurance, not the home owner.
I live in subsidized. I do so because for over 10 years I have been disabled and my monthly income is still below $1000. While part of my income is used to pay rent, heat and electricity; what my income will not cover is being subsidized by tax payers.
The flood insurance is no different. The insurance premiums are insufficient to cover all the homes that have been damages over the years. But this is not the only problem with the Federal flood insurance program. There are those living near water ways, that would like to purchase flood insurance but cannot because they are, according to regulations, not close enough to the waterway to justify them purchasing flood insurance. I heard about this years ago reading a story about a couple who could not get flood insurance insurance despite the fact that their home had been flooded by the waterway they were not close enough too.
I would include the 3 following parts in the solution;
1) Simply expand the area in which people can get flood insurance.
No one in the Rocky Mountains knew they needed flood insurance until Helene hit a few weeks ago.
2) Have water damage caused by a pipe bursting, be reclassified and covered by flood insurance.
This would give people the justification to buy flood insurance, where the likelihood of a flood happening, is next to nil.
3) Have lands that are flooded 5 or more times over a period of say 20 years, be transferred into a national park, thereby reducing the number of homes in flood zones over a period of time.

"except they covered their nonsense up with math, distributed it over 30 pages, ran a computer simulation to deal with it, and got paid for doing all that by the US Department of Energy."
Meanwhile, funding for the 3rd stage study of a low cost, effective, cancer treatment that has proven to have no adverse side affects, continues to be denied.
"I'm not saying that everything in the foundations of physics is nonsense. I'm trying hard I'm trying hard to find something interesting things to highlight in my science news. But damn it is hard."
This is most likely caused by the DEI hiring of individuals not qualified for the position. Certainly, the lack of integrity by those devising the theories is a factor.
Fortunately, in 12 days, Donald Trump returns to the White House and the people he appointed to his administration this time around, have wasteful spending like the funding of this bogus science, in their cross hairs.
In a few months, you may find it easier to find real science things to report on.

Question;
Which numbers are you going by?
Hamas' exaggerated numbers, or the UN's latest reduced numbers.
When it comes to Israel's war with Hamas, it would not be happening if Hamas and idiot civilians had not invaded Israel and killed 2000+ Israelis.
The only way for Israel to end the war with Hamas is for Israel to completely annihilate Hamas.
Those "10,000" children that are alleged to have been killed, are the result of Hamas' refusal to allow civilians to leave the war area. The blood of those children rests solely on the hands of Hamas.
Am I going to call you anti-Semitic because you don't like the children being killed?
No, I'm going to call you naive, and walking around with blinders on.
Americans today want war to be clean.
We are not gods. War is a messy thing to get into.
When wars happen, civilians as well as soldiers are killed or injured.
This is the cold hard fact of the history of warfare.
When it comes down to it; having a problem with Israel completely destroying Hamas is not being anti-Semitic.
It's being anti-God and anti-Christ.
Hamas attacked Israel, and as a recompense, God ordered a sword against Hamas, a terrorist organization that refuses to have peace.
To truly understand the history of war, you have to understand God's point of view and plan. Ultimately, God's plan is the return of Christ and His 1000 year reign of peace on earth.
The plan can be followed when you view the steps that have been taken in the past.
WWI - Liberate the land of Israel from the Ottoman Empire.
WWII - Gather the Children of Israel back to the land of Israel.
Isaiah 11:11: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isaiah 43:3: For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4: Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5: Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6: I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7: Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Ezekiel 20:41: I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
42: And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
43: And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
44: And ye shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
WWIII - Bring all prophesies to pass and the return of Christ on earth.
Ezekiel 36:20: And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
21: But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22: Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23: And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Zechariah 13:9: And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Zechariah 14:1: Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2: For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3: Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4: And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Until Christ returns, Israel's wars will not end, and there are at least another 10 years before Christ returns and puts an end to all wars, and man shall learn war no more.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:3: And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

There are coincidences throughout history like this, but their not actually coincidences, they are intentional actions.
The Gregorian year is off by 5 years.
Yet, this error enables the father of the Jews, Abraham, and the modern State of Israel, to be born in the same year number of 1948.
Abraham was born in the 1948th year from creation and the current State of Israel was born in AD 1948.
There are coincidences between the Exodus account of Israel and the birth of the United States.
Israel - 13 tribes.
US - 13 States
Israel received the Covenant of Moses on the Jewish date: 17 Tammuz.
The declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States on July 4, 1776; is also the Jewish date: 17 Tammuz.
USA - The war of 1812
Israel - The war of independence in 1948 is 1812 years from the beginning of the expulsion of the Jews from the promise land by Emperor Hadrian, beginning the diaspora in AD 136.
Both the Exodus and the birth of the United States are celebrated as a day of deliverance from bondage and a the winning of liberty.
At the age of 85, Caleb spoke to Joshua regarding the promise God gave to him, that the land his feet walked on during the spying out of the land, would be his land of inheritance.
At the age of 85, the United States entered into the American civil war which lead to the eventual ratification of the 13th Amendment making making both slavery and indentured servitude illegal in the United States.
Despite the accusation of American systemic racism, in 1861, only about 20 black men were permitted to vote in that election which means, that a society of white men, voted to make the slavery of black people, illegal.

"Calm down, I couldn't miss the point because I didn't address it. John Campbell does not have a medical degree, his background is in Nursing; I agree with a lot of his posts but he invites attacks on his credibility by falsely naming his Channel DOCTOR John Campbell."
That's such a deep pile of manure, you can't blame it on a bull.
John Campbell has a PhD, I believe he said in academia.
That fact gives him the legal right to use the Dr. Title and be called Dr.
The only idiots I ever hear using the accusation of "He's not a Doctor", are the educated idiot medical Doctors attempting to discredit DOCOTORS of Chiropractic Medicine as they teach people about nutrition.
They don't ever say; he got this wrong, or he got that wrong, they just shout; "He's not a medical doctor". That's as credible as shouting; "She's not a mathematician", as an 8 year old girl is teaching; 2 + 2 = 4.
The person making that statement, is the person that loses credibility.
Given that the medical community has proven over the past 4 years that credentials do not a professional make, I suggest you address the information, and stop making yourself look like a fool by attempting to discredit the individual's credentials.

"The problem is there was a dozen people who caused their own hardships through bad judgement and the people who are willing to take advantage of other's generousity to enrich themselves before the one person who really needs the help came along."
What are you talking about.
None of that was not shown in this video.
Stay on topic, or provide a link that informs people of what you are talking about.
"This makes it difficult to trust people. This is why we need more serious reactions to those who are willing to lie to enrich themselves through charity. All those panhandlers with fake stories to feed their greed or drug addictions looking for their next fix need serious consequences. It is more than just $10 being stolen, it is the ability for a community to trust that is being stolen."
You could use the methodology that people like marxist Biden and Harris want to implement.
Centralized Digital Banking Currency.
With that, people won't be able to hand the homeless and hungry a $10 dollar bill so that they can get food later on.
The wicked always figure out a way to corrupt the good deeds of the righteous.
In response to such corruption, the wicked set in place rules, that make it unlawful to do those good deeds.
Which side of the fence are you on.
The doing if good deeds, or the barring of doing good deeds?
The hardest part of those that defraud, is insuring that you do not become so bitter, that you refuse to help those that are sincere and in need.
I'm 63. I've been a believer in Christ since the age of 10.
After many years of retrospect, I compiled a list of things that disingenuous religious leaders say, as they work to manipulate people into giving.
What's telling here is; these things are the same things that sincere religious leaders say, to encourage good people to do good deeds.
The point is, you can't simply judge people by their words, you have to watch and see if they practice what they preach.
1) "You need to take a step of faith."
2) "You need to give until it hurts."
3) "If you're going through financial struggles, don't use food stamps, it's not faith."
4) "If God is for it, He'll provide."
5) "There's no free money."
6) "You're just trying to get something for nothing."
7) "You're not supposed to be trying to make money, you're supposed to just do it for Jesus."
8) "You're not supposed to be counting on man, you're supposed to trust God."
9) "You're just trying to keep from going out and getting work."
"You can't be called because you are not blessed."
10) "If a man does not work, neither shall he eat"
11) "You're supposed to give without expecting anything in return"
12) "You won't take responsibility for your actions."
Not one of these statements that I heard over the years, especially those I that were told to me when I was unable to find work, became homeless and went without food until it debilitated me, can be genuinely supported from a Biblical perspective.

"so there is a very simple solution - Transolympic Games. We already have Paralympic Games, Special Olympics, so why not have another one?"
Is it not odd that, despite the fact that Women's sports, Paralympic Games, and Special Olympics, are the historical working solution to issues of this nature, the trans people, prefer to destroy Women's sports, and refuse to simply apply the historical, working solution that worked for those other areas, to their alleged problem?
I don't think their agenda is to obtain inclusion, I'm of the opinion that first they will destroy women's sports, and then move on to destroy the Paraympic Games and then the Special Olympics. And that is unacceptable.

"1. It's more efficient to use electricity generated in a central plant than with many smaller, less efficient combustion units (and maintaining that distribution network in parallel)"
Not only is it much more efficient, it is much easier for the central distribution network to cut off your energy with the flip of a switch.
It has already happened and when it is fully implemented, people will die as a result.
"2. Most developed countries produce far less than 90% of their electricity from fossil fuels and this is declining further each year"
Why has Germany reversed course and is bringing coal burning plants back online?
Simple, the tech does not work.
"It's fully technologically possible, and it's being done privately anyways, without subsidy where I live because it's now cheaper per kWh despite being a massive fossil fuel reserve region."
What works is individual investment that enables the individual to be off grid. But, they still are not completely free from carbon fuels. They still need to have a back up generator in case the sun doesn't shine for more days than their batteries can supply electricity.
"Yes, it takes time to construct this infrastructure, but that is massively different from "technologically infeasible". Your comment would be correct in 2009, but we've had the tech for a decade now."
You're ignoring the fact that those in charge and pushing the destructive policy, want it implemented by 2030-2035.
That is technologically impossible.
"My local independent, private operator has a fully fleshed plan to eliminate fossil fuels from the grid with a set deadline and they've overshot targets so far despite zero government help"
That's nice. How much more are you paying for energy as a result?
From what I've heard, it's slated to spike this summer.
I'll be comparing my bills from last year to see if that pans out.
Who knows, maybe the energy companies have a secret side step that they don't allow the politicians to know about that will keep energy costs lower.
Some locations may be able to eliminate carbon fuels.
What I want to know is; how are they preparing in the event that the sun lets loose a solar flair that hits the earth with and EMP the way it happened back in the 1800's?
What if Russia and China decide to set off an EMP bomb over the middle of the US?
Have they protected their systems in the event of these things happening?

@meganegan5992
"swapping over to this new system just saves money."
If it saves money, why then, did the government spend billions of taxpayer dollars on the transition? Why did they borrow billions of dollars to fund it?
If it truly saved money, not only would industry begin a natural transition, consumers would ask for it. If it saved money, there would be no need for government intervention, nor would the attempt to force the implementation exist.
"The economics are making it happen, no matter what plans are making it happen."
Yet, consumers have already started rejecting EVs.
"For once, the Invisible Hand of the Market is actually making the world a better place."
That's a provable lie.
The market began making the world a better place when oil became the primary energy source.
The market made the world a better place when Henry Ford decide to pay his employees $5.00 an hour so they could afford to buy one of the cars they were building.
Government should not force the people to purchase specific energy products. That's a totalitarian despotic government and unconstitutional. It is not possible for the government to anticipate ever situation a person can find themselves in. Thus, any centralized mandate will always be wrong for someone.
As far as batteries are concerned, that's an extremely broad and sometimes, explosive subject. It is often quite acidic as well.

"And why is that? Because people like you kept protesting that the U.S. should slow down its switch to renewable power sources. This worked and the result was no surprise: the U.S., which invented the solar cell, gave over its lead on solar power equipment to China."
That had nothing to do with people protesting solar.
Sending manufacturing over the China has been going on for decades under the false notion that if we trade with the China, they will become less totalitarian.
China did not become less totalitarian, and less wanting to take over the world. Sadly, the uniparty political system, rejects reality and nurses on the bottle of wishful thinking fantasies.
The government had actually given companies producing solar money to produce solar. At least two companies I have heard of, went bankrupt after getting the money.
But then, how could they truly compete when tax write offs were provided equally for lower cost imported goods and higher cost American goods?
"You can't protest against American companies being encouraged to take up new technology and at the same time complain that other countries beat you to it and took over the market."
I'm not actually protesting against American companies taking up new technology. Them doing so is the natural state of business.
I'm protesting against government mandating it.
I'm protesting a plan "the new green deal" that not only is not green, it is a failure on arrival. You cannot double the demand of electricity on the electrical grid, before doubling the capacity of the electrical grid.
I also have a problem with the Federal government entering into free trade agreements with foreign governments, whether those governments be allies or adversarial.
Trade agreements should be equal, not free.
If American corporations have limited access to the foreign market, the corporations in those markets should have the same limitations in accessing the American market.
All free trade agreements do is force Americans to compete with lower wage employees in foreign countries. On the other hand, if the Federal government would stop devaluing the US Dollar, American's would not need to be earning $25.00+ an hour to provide for their needs.

"Trotsky couldn't have said it better."
Your statement does not follow, Trotsky is a marxist.
Marxists hate God an hate religion.
For that reason, Trotsky would be an enemy of Israel.
All that shall transpire over the next few years, shall transpire because God is bringing His prophetic word to pass. God is fulfilling His promises to the Children of Israel.
Atheists will neither acknowledge that Bible prophesy is coming to pass, nor will they be delighted to see, irrefutable evidence that God does in deed, exist.
"Trotskyism is the political ideology and branch of Marxism developed by Russian revolutionary and intellectual Leon Trotsky"
Since WWII, the United States has been the global hegemon.
Over the next few years as nations rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, that position of preeminence will ultimately transfer too and rest on, not the State of Israel but the Kingdom of Israel.
We are in the last days, and Zechariah 14:1-9 will come to pass by the year 2048.
Zechariah 14:1: Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2: For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3: Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4: And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5: And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8: And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

"Why is God Almighty sending Christ Jesus back?"
It is time for God's kingdom to come, God's will to be done, in earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
He comes to destroy those which destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:18: And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
"Does he want a refund?"
No. When He comes, all that offends, and those that do lawlessness will be rounded up, judged and removed from the earth.
Matthew 13:41: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43: Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Back in the infancy of computers, it was very often said; "we will never need more than that".
The 8 bit computer chip gave way to the 16 bit computer chip, which in turn gave way to the 32 bit computer chip, which in turn gave way to the 64 bit computer chip.
The 256k of ram gave way to the 500k of ram, which in turn gave way to the 1 megabyte of ram, which gave way to 2 megabytes of ram which gave way to 4 meg and so on and so forth. Today, my computer has a full 32 gig of ram.
The 144 k floppy gave way to the 1 megabyte disk which gave way to the 1 megabyte hard drive which gave way to the 10 megabyte hard drive which gave way to the 120 megabyte hard drive and so on and so forth. Today my computer has a 1 Tera-byte SSD drive.
The progress of years has proven every "we will never need more" statement false. We can and should deduce from the historical facts of computer technology and progress, that the claim; "we never need multi day batteries", to be just as false as the computer "never need more than" statements have been proven false. We should also deduce that as time progresses and technology improves, the claim that we "never need multi day batteries", will be proven just as false as the "never need more than" statements.
One of the primary reasons that technology continues to progress and advance is because if it didn't; all those engineers and researchers, would become unemployed. So they, by advancing technology, safegaurd their future employment.

@sandram.d.6164
"I just don't see how voting in a rigged system is logical."
To not vote because of a perceived "rigged system" is illogical.
By not showing up to vote, you are participating in the cheating by allowing them to cast your vote for you.
That's how some districts had more votes cast than registered voters.
"We keep playing the same game, and we're losing."
Of course, because the leadership is a part of the problem.
Do you know how to properly vet a candidate?
Yet, those that claim to be leaders, tell you that certain candidates are good, and you believe them because they are supposed to be good leaders. Then, when that candidate they endorsed gets elected, he votes against you.
Is it because the candidate lied to you, or the leadership lied to you?
"I look around and see how much we've been deceived. I assume most of us didn't vote for it. The election system is an illusion to make us believe our vote really matters. I'd prefer to use my voice (while I still can) then vote in a rigged system. That's my opinion. I understand yours. I used to think that way too."
Your position is illogical and lacks vision and foresight.
Our duty as citizens is to show up and cast our vote.
Personally, I'm not giving those lying, thieving, murders, the opportunity to cast a vote with my name on it because I didn't show up to vote.
That's what they want.
They want you to not show up and vote so that they can win by default.
As Americans, we do not have the right to back down because the system has been corrupted. We have the duty to fight and fix it.
We do not have the right to be "war weary".
You cannot expect the system to be corrected if you are not willing to show up and vote for the people that will correct the system.
You claim that voting doesn't work.
Then explain the knee jerk reaction that the leftist deep state had after their chosen candidate Clinton lost and the people's choice Trump, was elected in 2016.
Trump, was not supposed to win.
Their knee jerk reaction tells me that it is possible to vote them out and true patriots in.
For some delusional reason, Christians and conservatives have this brain dead expectation that they shouldn't have to fight. They shouldn't have to go through hardships and fight to retain their rights. In that regard, they are no different than the entitled, spoiled, woke brats demanding that everything be handed to them, that they shouldn't have to work hard to get ahead.
They also have the delusional psychopathy that Trump should be completely perfect, know all things, be able to do all things, and do make no mistakes, despite the fact that he is not God, he is a man.
