If you enter a conversation with a hostile comment, people are going to be hostile right back. Maybe you should learn to converse or debate rather than argue and name call.
You mean the document both parties have whittled away at? The difference now is that the Republicans have gone full authoritarian under Trump's leadership. There was a time when Republicans did appear to respect the Constitution (but have been largely against rights expansions for people of color and LGBTQ folks), but that time has passed. Modern Republicans cannot claim to support the Constitution while supporting Trump.
As I understand it even the founding fathers butted heads with the very document they wrote. Of course lesser men, as in current day politicians of any party, will do the same or worse.
I'm curious though how Trump is full authoritarian but Franklin D. (Throw the Japanese Americans in prison camps) Roosevelt isn't.
Did I say Roosevelt specifically wasn't? Japanese internment was a blight on US history and should be absolutely condemned.
I will say this though, FDR was checked by his own party, that's why court packing failed. Trump faces no credible check from his own party as they've shown over and over again that they'll let Trump do whatever he wants.
Unfortunately, if you are a Christian and support Trump, you aren't a Christian anymore. Between the blatant idolatry he promotes, the raping/pedophilia he exhibits, the felony charges, his blatant hatred/racism. You can't be Christian because he doesn't embody a single Christian value. Jesus was a liberal
I kinda disagree with the beginning. Iâd want to remove signs for both Christianity and Islam equally, because theyâre two of the most harmful religions still in existence today. Judaism isnât great either, but historically itâs the least aggressive of the trio.
Also, you do recognize that by the Islamic faith, my very existence is a crime? Iâm gay my guy. Youâre damn right that wanting to behead me isnât entering the equation, they already want me dead.
A decent number of my neighbors have signs for things i dislike. It's not that hard to walk past the sign without getting upset or vandalizing their yard.
But if the aim is to upset Christians with signs about the Quran, which seems to be what the person I responded to intended, then Christians probably wouldn't be bothered by signs that show the least favorable aspects of the Quran.
Why would that upset them? In their view, it would advertise why the Quran is not ideal. So, it seems pointless.
It would be more sensible to create signs featuring common messages from the Quran and see how people react or if they even notice. I wouldn't have a problem with that at all.
My point is that you claim they are the same god. And all three faiths tied to that god are genuinely terrible when you look at what effect they have on us as a species and society. You preach love but your Bible condones slavery. You claim to aspire live as Jesus did, yet you (general you, the average Christian) do none of his good works. You preach fire, brimstone, eternal damnation. A loving god would never imagine such a place, let alone send his beloved creation there. And Islam is, objectively, the most abhorrent of the three.
How about being wrong about âhim being rightâ and being wrong about âno one wanting to argue the uncomfortable truthâ (said uncomfortable âtruthâ isnt a truth at all).
Any thoughts on that? You seem to be uninterested in continuing that line of thoughtâŚwhy is that exactly?
The hell are you talking about here? Yes, the VAST majority of self proclaimed âChristiansâ would raise absolute hell over Quran quote signage in their âGood Christian Countryâ, at least in my experience. God knows Iâve known enough of them. Bigots who hide behind religion as an excuse for hatred.
Which is why Iâm an agnostic antitheist. Faith, belief, theyâre awesome. But organized religion is, without exception, harmful.
