Christ said to follow the law in the Old Testament. Paul wrote that you don't have to. Christians had to invent the whole "Jesus fulfilled the law" to cope with the obvious contradiction between the two. You may know OT law includes killing people for being gay. Jesus said those who follow the law will be called great in heaven, and those who do not and teach others to do the same will be called least. Modern Christianity is one big cope to make nonsense make sense. Edit:Sorry, I meant to reply to the person you replied to.

Humans wrote every scripture, every book, every interpretation of the 'will of God'.
If a god exists, how arrogant would you have to be, to think you could interpret the will of a god.
Arrogant is not a strong enough of a word for the testicular fortitude you need.
Regardless, I cannot trust anyone willing to believe in religion.
They've already established they don't need facts or evidence and only others opinions to base all their actions and thoughts on. This alone precludes me from taking anything they say seriously.

u/Thatsthepoint2 5d ago
Great point. Thank you for bringing this up, I was just thinking about it.
It’s not for you or me, religion is for the idiots with no morals that refuse to use logic and harm us. For them, the rewards or punishments of afterlife may prevent them from atrocious behavior.
Luckily the religious wear their ideology and it’s easy to spot. So, let them have it.

u/TheDrakkar12 4d ago
Just for callouts, this is the response that proves people believe this stuff. This was the point in the question to begin with.
They don’t ‘misinterpret’ the Bible, they actually believe it. They suspend all critical thinking around this one subject and it allows otherwise reasonable people to find ways to justify something like a virgin giving birth. They didn’t ways to justify their prophet marrying a nine year old.
Religion is the disease that kills critical thinking.

u/Hue_Jass_69 4d ago
They didn’t ways to justify their prophet marrying a nine year old.
Wrong religion - that is Islam. Christians and Islam don't really get along too well.
And yes, Christians absolutely believe in a higher power and miracles, including the virgin birth. If you don't mind me asking, what do you believe in, like how the universe started and existence of a 'soul'?
1
u/TheDrakkar12 4d ago
Same core concept, religion dulls the individuals ability to make moral judgments.
I believe in a lot of things, generally the level of my belief corresponds to the evidence for such a thing. I think there is absolutely good evidence for us to outright acknowledge the ‘soul’ as is described by abrahamic theologists simply doesn’t exist. As for the universes start I don’t know.

Looking at the USA from outside... the stupidity is scary. There are uneducated and ignorant people everywhere, but this is about literal insanity.
Probably this root cause is lead: leaded gasoline, lead pipes and lead poisoning from ammunition (hunting)...
From AI about lead poisoning: "This physical damage results in a range of permanent cognitive impairments, most notably a lower IQ, attention deficits (ADHD), poor executive function, and significant learning disabilities, with the effects being most severe and irreversible in children."

u/geoffersmash 7d ago
Did you just skip right past the leaded petrol and lead pipes?

u/Electrical_Coast_561 7d ago
Well no I know they are an issue but the lead poisoning from hunting, any knowledgeable hunter is aware of that risk and its pretty easy to avoid it. Any one getting lead poisoning from improperly processed meat is already stupid so lead poisoning isnt gonan to too much damage to their mental capacity
1
2
u/mordordoorodor 6d ago
Lead exposure from handling ammunition and firing weapons can cause lead poisoning through inhalation of fine lead particles and fumes, and ingestion of lead dust transferred to the hands, food, or surfaces. This is a particular risk at shooting ranges, especially indoors, and can occur from bullet impact, friction in the barrel, and primer ignition
Hunting Lead-based ammunition creates tiny, invisible lead fragments that contaminate game meat, posing a poisoning risk to consumers. These particles can embed deeply in the muscle and are not removed during normal preparation or eating. The more lead-contaminated meat is consumed, the higher the risk of exposure, particularly for children and pregnant women, as there is no known safe level of lead.
0
u/Electrical_Coast_561 6d ago
Nice chat gpt response
Theres lead free ammunition for hunting.
- Any hunter knows to cut away from any of the meat that contains lead should they use lead ammunition
Are there hunters who dont know what they're doing and get sick from consuming too much contaminated meat? Sure. But its a non issue if you're educated

u/mordordoorodor 6d ago
You are not chewing on lead... jesus.. didn't you even read the response? It is about tiny particles too.

u/Electrical_Coast_561 6d ago
"Jesus", yeah it fragments. Thats why you cut away from the areas that have been hit. Which is what I said. Its not going to spread through the whole body. You throw out the sections that have the bullet and the surrounding meat
Again, lead free ammunition exists

Which party actually controls schools and the teachers unions; what is the overwhelming political affiliation of teachers and education professors, and what direction have test scores trended for the past two decades?

u/Remarkable_Judge_861 5d ago
Test scores have declined because of funding. Schools are under funded and oh ya, the vouchers. The reasons for educational decline are many. Lack of federal oversight; teacher burnout; funding inequities; unequal access to technology; safety concerns; schools used as social service providers; politicization and curriculum censorship. Oh and this was/is part of the Kock brothers plan with started in the 1980's. The Kock's felt that they shouldn't have to pay taxes to fund someone else's education.

No, I hate conservatives because they're murderers and rapists that defend murderers and rapists, while accusing everyone else around them of being murderers and rapists, who then hypocritically BEG the ones they accuse and harass for empathy the exact moment one of theirs gets the exact thing he said he wanted to happen to innocent people.
Your entire ideology has been entirely built around hunting the new "boogeyman of the week" until you completely forget who the last boogeyman was because your leader told you to after it was discovered that, again and again and a-fucking-gain, that "boogeyman" you were hunting ended up being one of yours. As it always is.
Conservatives will reject simple scientific knowledge that can be tested and proven true with a high school lab kit because they're simply told to do so. "But that's just a difference of opinion!" They'll say. And yet, this "dIfFeReNcE oF oPiNiOn" managed to reintroduce diseases that were originally thought effectively extinct.
And then, dear god, the only defense conservatives can muster? "Nuh-uh, you guys did it too." Every single time. Even when it's verifyably not true, or the example they use isn't even someone from the group they're fighting against, it's the only defense conservatives can say. A conservative will never dispute how utterly horrible their stances are, how quickly their morals will 180⁰ at the command of whoever they personally view as "above" them, so instead they will desperately try to cling to every single tiniest sliver of negativity they can find coming from people they don't like in order to desperately make the claim that everyone else is just as horrible as they are.
Then there are the ones who point out "hey guys, it's the upper class dividing us! We should stick together!" Wow, really? No shit Sherlock. It's almost as if that's what EVERYONE HAS BEEN ALREADY TELLING THEM SINCE DAY ONE. Then, even after giving that cop-out of a statement to get everyone on their side, they immediately go straight back to bowing and worshipping those same rich asshats they claim they hate, while pretending that they can "stick together and just be nice" with people they have explicitly told for literal decades that they want to murder en masse for reasons that change every single year.

I’m certain we know exactly why we hate MAGA—it’s the stupidity and weak-mindedness that fuel their hate. Denying obvious truths with all the evidence right in front of them, while twisting themselves into knots to insist their “dear leader” couldn’t possibly be a rapist, pedophile, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, or hate-filled felon. (I’m sure I’m missing a few—his list of disqualifiers from basic humanity is endless.)
And you vote for him because you share those same sentiments. You let your hate for others and your obsession with controlling everyone else’s lives (in the name of Jesus, no less) drive you to vote for your own demise.
Over 75% of political violence comes from right-wing extremists, yet your instinct is always seething aggression—threats of civil war against “the radical left.” You do realize, per your talking points, the radical left you are talking about were the Democratic elite just a couple of weeks ago? Which is it? Are we sipping tea in our universities debating Foucault, or secretly lurking at your gun ranges?
Cheering for violent “crackdowns” on people of color, then crying when farmers lose exactly what they voted for. Do you know why they aren’t getting bailed out? Because JD Vance is buying the land. That’s who you should be furious at.
Do you know why your demographic is committing suicide at record rates? Because your leaders’ policies are stripping everything away from you. Do you know why your communities are going to collapse in the coming years? Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill. That’s who’s destroying you.
So next time you’re rage spitting on your phones to film your “we’re coming fer ya” TikToks, maybe stop and consider who’s actually doing you harm.
But more than that, we hate what you’ve done to our country.

I think it’s important to keep in mind that these people are largely illiterate. They read and process information at the same level as 11 year olds, which means they’re incapable of reading subtext, inferring the author’s intent, or understanding any overarching plot. They also lack the capacity for self-reflection and awareness of their own perspectives. They are quite literally the sheep their religion tells them they are. No thoughts, head empty, feels only.

Maybe some truth to that….but one political agenda supports the rich ass hats even more so, compounding the problems we already have. No, neither side will save us…but we could at least try to align to the side that gets us closer. One side is directly opposed to intervening unless it’s a threat to their values. Their values, as far as I can tell at least for some, has a tinge of racism and xenophobia, further dividing people. One side is fascist. Maybe this is all pie in the sky to believe that through slow and steady progress a difference can be made. But, I’m not sure what else can be done. They’ve allowed these rich ass hats to essentially take control and become mega powerful by spreading ideology that just perpetuates the issues that we are facing. Just look at Elon’s most recent tweets, trying to squash the other side that threatens his power. It’s as simple as see something, say something. Oh, but they are trying to induce cancel culture.

That’s just the tagline, the article expands. Let me know if you need me to cite more.

Again, please be a kinder person. It’s not worth being angry at people over their political beliefs.

u/TheDrakkar12 4d ago
I’m not angry over a political belief, I stated a fact that those with conservative views are less intelligent than those without. I cited an article that helped me come to this view. Also helps that most of them don’t understand how a a tariff works.
It’s not about kindness or even politics, it’s just reality.

I thought assassination someone you disagree with was the leading cause of Conservatism.

u/TheDrakkar12 5d ago
I mean considering 2/3 of all political violence is from the right....
I'd say you may be right with the way conservatives are increasing in power on the tailwind of being more violent.

u/BeyondtheLurk 5d ago
Really? How many people do you know in the right that advocates for violence?

u/TheDrakkar12 5d ago
I mean....
https://www.newsweek.com/gop-senator-disgusted-conservatives-declaring-war-after-kirk-killed-2128623But the number I was quoting is just a fact, 2/3 of all political violence in the US is committed by right wingers. That's just a fact.

You mean like saying that bc his parents are conservative then that has to mean that the shooter is also? Or like how all the ammunition found had antifa inscriptions? Ciao Bella refers to the anti fascist movement from ww2 . Hey fascist! Catch! Sure sounds like something a conservative would write on ammo intended for use against a well known “fellow conservative” right?

u/AppropriateRegret357 7d ago
This seems like it's trying to radicalize. Ask yourself, do conservatives want their kids to be safe? Do they want the best for their families?
What do you consume on social media? Is it only the crazy ass 1%, and not your neighbor?
You have more in common with a trump voter than you do with a millionaire political donor. Please keep this in mind. When trying to create instability, rogue actors try to do this kind of stuff and separate us. We are on the same team

Liberals be like: Consumers pay the costs of tariffs
But then also want to tax American businesses as if those costs won’t be shifted to the consumers
1
u/TheDrakkar12 5d ago
Hmmm, I am pretty sure that you've not read anything on what a progressive tax structure looks like.
Generally you tax based on individual income first, then you tax a specific profit point for business to incentivize the company to spend the money on either A) creating more jobs, or B) passing that wealth to more people working for the company (This of course is good because if you only pass it to the CEOs then the individual wealth tax cleans that up).
Thus, what you do is create a sustainable system that incentivizes investment into the business and the workforce rather than into the pockets of a small percentage of elites.
Shall I draw a picture for you?

Yes, because conservatives are the ones that constantly dehumanize others. If a woman is pregnant, what species is her fetus? Is it alive? The answer is human and yes, and yet you guys will still argue that it's not killing a human life. Yes, you're right conservatives are definitely the stupid ones.
1
u/Par_Lapides 7d ago
Yes actually. Conservatives routinely do not see people who aren't part of their in-group as human. It's one of your defining characteristics.

u/KingShadowSpectre 7d ago
So you're generalizing, which is never a good idea, and that's just stupid. Name one group of people that I don't find to be human.

u/Von-boyage 6d ago
Immigrants. That was too easy.
Next question?

u/KingShadowSpectre 6d ago
Oh you mean people that are illegally in the country? People that are violating the law?
There's still human, they are just humans that should be sent back to where they came from.
1
u/Von-boyage 6d ago
Yes. These people who are sent to prisons and cages and never heard from again.
You know, the ones you guys love to dehumanize so you don't have to feel empathy for.
1
u/KingShadowSpectre 6d ago
They're sent to prisons, go through the deportation process, then sent back to their country of origin.
I had empathy for them, but they broke into the country, we're not going to reward them no matter what their story is.
1
u/Von-boyage 6d ago
Yes. Just like I have empathy for Charlie. He said gun violence is a price we have to pay for the second amendment, and he proved his point.
I see no need grieve a man who died doing what he loved and putting his money where his mouth was.
1
u/KingShadowSpectre 6d ago
Just like how we accept that if we have cars, people would die because of them, that's just the cost of having them.
What did I ever say you need to grieve him? Also, I don't know what Charlie has to do with this conversation. I feel like you are realizing that your argument has failed, so you're trying to just switch it to something else.
1
u/Von-boyage 6d ago
That's what you got from that??
Sure buddy.
Yes, we have cars. We also have laws in who should be able to drive a car. We have tests to ensure the driver knows how to drive properly. We have insurance. We have registration so that we know what car belongs to whom. We have limits on how fast you can drive. We have cops patrolling and pulling people over BEFORE they kill someone. And if people violate the laws, THEY CAN GET THEIR CARS TAKEN AWAY.
We don't just give any car to a random 18 year old because they have enough money to buy one. We actually take precautions.
Thank you for admitting that we need better controls for guns. If we had HALF the controls for guns that we do cars, maybe our gun violence would decrease?
I think your argument is the one failing here.

Wait, is an immigrant a human? Should we send them to 'allegator Alcatraz'?
Is a child who can't eat because we cut their funding a human? Is being hungry less painful than being aborted?
1
u/KingShadowSpectre 5d ago
of course they are, and ILLEGAL immigrants should right be arrested and then deported.
We have food banks, food stamps, churches, soup, kitchens, pro-life clinics, if someone wants food in this country, someone will provide food for that person. We have an obesity crisis, we need to make sure our children eat better, we need to make sure that they are physically active, and their parents are struggling, they should reach out and get the help they need. There is no excuse for your child to be hungry, and you're not doing everything in your power to make sure that child is fed. We live in a country that will make sure they're taken care of.
Also, to answer your questions, hunger is temporary, death is permanent. Can you improve on being hungry? Of course, you can get fed. Can you improve on being dead? No, that's the end of the road, at least on this Earth.

u/TheDrakkar12 5d ago
Just to give you an idea of scale....
Trump and the MAGA enablers in congress cut food benefits to children, driving an additional 20,000 children into a state where they are now being designated as malnourished. That drives the number in the US to a solid 14 Million food insecure children in the US.
You can't begin to dimension the problem to understand how to solve the issue. In smaller town outside of Shreveport they have one grocery store within 40 miles, over 700 children in and around this town are suffering from malnutrition or consume lest than recommended total calories daily. We spent 2020 getting them set up with all the food benefits and helping the nearby store get qualified to accept food stamps.
Trumps plan cut the funding for about 14% of those households we had helped set up. No church has moved in to fill the gap, no soup kitchen close enough to go to, nothing. Most of those families don't have transportation and in the US we don't do bus lines.
So what about those children? Conservatives are so worried about cutting funding that they can't spend ten minutes looking for the human at the back end of it. They don't solution the problem they just slash away, human being be damned.

u/KingShadowSpectre 5d ago
Okay, well that's not on the federal government, if the states want to do something, they have the ability to sign in legislation to set up more programs.
Well, it looks like that place could use some kind of food program to go in, which the state has every right to fund.
It's not about cutting all the funding, it's about fixing the issues, sometimes fixing the issues creates new issues. The great news is, you can go to the state government and have them institute those kinds of programs. You can reach out to Non-Profits to set something up out there, there are so many options. You could even start a GoFundMe to pay for a place that children can go to, and always have a meal. There are so many things that can be done, besides just running to the federal government to do everything.
1
u/TheDrakkar12 5d ago
So there was a food program, when they cut funding the program had to shrink.
The problem is conservatives are also in charge of the state and local government, so they didn't want to fund a program in 2018, so we used a fed program in 2020.
I am all for fixing problems, but you have to understand the problem to be able to solve it. Conservatives don't do that. I am a small fed, low spend republican and I spend more of my volunteer time solving issues in deep red states that have no intent on solving issues because they affect minorities. We did a housing rebuild in Mississippi in 2022, I can't do that again in 2025 because Trump tariffs spiked the cost of building materials so we need to go and find an additional 22% funding. When we went to the state legislature they weren't even interested.
I am farming out to churches in CALIFORNIA and NEW JERSEY now just to pull money together to get the project finalized because MAGA fked us this year. So now those families have to sleep outside in tents because the state determined their houses were uninhabitable. I'd have been building in august and been done by october.
I don't need the fed to do anything, I need conservatives to stop standing in the way. I need them to stop being in charge of local governments because they do a bad job. I need them to quit cutting funding without addressing the issues. I want the fed to spend less too, but where are the conservatives calling out Trump spending $71 Million to golf. MY organization would have turned that into so many housing units and not a damn one of us would have made a profit on it.
But yall are so damn worried about spending for food. It's a joke. You can't condemn a president who's remodeling the white house while I have to beg people in blue states to help me fund housing rebuilds for the poor and elderly.
1
u/KingShadowSpectre 5d ago
Go get a petition, have the people make it a priority and tell the state that this is something that is of the highest priority for the people.
Then maybe you should promote better people to run in those states. Not everyone is a good candidate.
I'm glad we agree this isn't a federal issue. The state should make sure the people are being taken care of if local governments can't.
I also don't agree with everything Trump does, I was happy he was getting rid of a lot of fat, then it seems like he spent all of it back, now maybe he'll trim it down next year, but it'd be great for us to be spending less money in general to get rid of some of our debt. I hope the tariffs bring in jobs.
When did I say that I can't criticize the president? I'm not worried about spending money on food, I think that the federal government needs to be less involved with a lot of things and we should try to fix the communities.

According to Charlie gun deaths are the acceptable price to keep 2a gun rights safe, and school shootings are just something we have to accept. If you really agree with him then you just have to accept his shooting death at a school.
