CdnFox Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 In any case It's sure not going to help Kamala's cause to alienate the Christians right now. And not only does it honk them off, but moderates who respect christians rights to their religion and to the history of Christianity in North America look at that and feel she's being intolerant and disrespectful. At this moment in time she is absolutely desperate for a group of people that would not normally vote for her to give her a chance. She cannot win with just her base And she has very few opportunities left to expand and she just turned a whole hunk of people off. I noticed she is down in the polls again today in the swing states and that's about 17 days in a row. She has negative momentum going into the final weeks and that is absolutely death, and she's out there picking a fight with the most populous religion in the states. She's such a trash candidate, like regardless of her politics she just absolutely SUCKS at this. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
NAME REMOVED Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 I hate when threads based on misinformation get traction. It's clear the heckler did not shout "Jesus is Lord," but I guess if one repeats a lie enough, they will be believed. Quote

Dude, there's now video up from a dozen different angles and locations and you can very clearly hear what he said in a number of them. I'll agreei t's only barely audible in this one but he absolutely 100% said Jesus is Lord what's funny is that there's now versions of that video circling around where that sound byte is edited out entirely and you just hear more crowd noise and it's Verrrrry clear that it's been edited, the volume changes you can hear where it starts and the noise is different, it's not even a good edit. I guess the kamala folks realized that was the WRONG response That's going to hurt her, and like i said she's got NO room to lose even an inch. The "smaller" rally down the street was the trump rally. She basically just told Christians to go vote for trump, she doesn't want them. But unfortunately for her she's such an intolerant person that she just couldn't help herself but lash out as soon as she saw Christians. In many of the swing states that kind of thing will have traction and she's going to be in trouble. She's already dropping every day in the polls in the swings and this will just accelerate rather than stop that.

You have an argument for that? Remember answering a question with a question (unless it's simply to clarify) is not an argument Well, you tried to move the goal posts. I was talking about creation. This will be more coherent if you don't try to jump around from one assumption to another. It would also be easier if you had supporting arguments to your thesis. For instance, I said Genesis accurately describes the general outline of how the universe and the planet were formed. Then I provided a short list of accurate predictions. You failed to even address my point. You, simply, made a generic statement with no supporting arguments. Generally, when people do that, they are unwilling to admit they can't discuss the topic intelligently. What you did is a defense mechanism. You tried to be forceful in an assertion to compensate for your lack of counter arguments. Quote Bigoted?

To put it in modern context, God identifies as He. Are you going to deny Him His identity?

This is such an absurdly wrong argument. I have already gone down this path with you before, but you ran away from that discussion. Its a false dilemma and a bit of a strawman. The Bible was in fact written by people, the claim is that it was divinely inspired throughout and accounts for interactions in history some did have with God. The fact that God doesn't share any particular knowledge with people is not evidence he lacks the power or knowledge to do so. A math teacher doesn't reveal all he knows on day one to the class, even the study of math is a progression from basics up to Calculus. But why didn't they tell us in Kindergarten how to find the area under a curved line?! These are philosophical questions about the nature of God, not an argument he doesn't exist as you are so illogically framing. Quote

But why didn't they tell us in Kindergarten how to find the area under a curved line?! While you are correct that this doesn't definitively prove that god doesn't exist, it is certainly part of the cumulative case against the existence of God. God by definition is not falsifiable, this is a problem for people like me that use reason, logic and the scientific method to come to conclusions. The scientific method (therefore logic and reason) is all about DISproving what we think we know. Science does not make truth claims.Period Comparing a tri omni God,reveling the truth of his creation, to be recorded by man, in his inerrant word, that is to be used to bring all of his children to salvation and a math teacher following a syllabus, that is designed to instruct students in a methodical way to understand theories and formulas and then PROVE (because math uses abstract objects (numbers) to represent aspects of reality it is the only science that makes any claims of proof, the rest just use models based on our current understanding) the validity of said theories and formulas. 2+2 will always equal 4 (at least using classical logic, hahaha. I wonder if you got that joke) is pretty much you waving the white flag If gods revelation is in any way analogous to an underpaid, overworked, kindergarten teacher, how powerful can he be? I have physically witnessed all of my teachers and gained tangible, quantifiable knowledge from most by simply being present. But after searching diligently for many years (and still am to some extent) for any god or gods and have found no evidence (in fact I've found the contrary) nor any knowledge or wisdom that can't be found elsewhere (read that last part carefully, I'm not saying the Bible is void of knowledge or wisdom just that is not exclusive to Christianity) Now, I have given honest responses to why I don't believe, if you can't actually respond to them and are simply going to come back with nah han or an insult, just don't bother responding, because for me that will signify that you are not looking for the same kind of conversation I am and I will no longer interact (not that I think it would bother you) I want to know as many true things and as few false things as possible. So if you could provide a positive argument for the existence of God, remembering that the Bible is the claim not the evidence. I will gladly listen and if it's a strong argument may even alter my world view. If not, kick rocks Quote
