Summations Only

Did Jesus tell his followers to only help children they knew? How do Conservatives fund the government's budget?

It is interesting that Conservatives are all for the government inserting itself into a woman's doctor's office. So much for small government and the right to rid yourself of governmental interference.

That sounds entirely made up. I think owning slaves is far worse than aborting a fetus. Such men are held accountable, and I support such laws and policies. Child support is a good idea.But it does take two to tango, as the old saying goes. Women aren't innocent victims (except in cases where consent is not given or is compromised).

I think all people should be held accountable for being irresponsible, not just men. At the same time, accountability can mean many things. It can mean being held accountable by your family or friends. It can also mean being held accountable by a boss at work. It can also mean being held accountable by a court of law. Men and women should be held to the same standards. It's a tough spectrum to define, but I don't think a fetus a couple of months old is human in the same way you and I are. Conservatives and Republicans weren't synonyms at that point in history.

It was the conservatives in the Democratic Party who did that. They left the Democratic party when the Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act. Guess where they went? The Republican party where they had like minded conservatives. The only reason that conservatives were not in the Republican party before that is because it was the Party of Lincoln, and their southern prejudices would not allow them to be Republicans. It was the liberals that that ended Jim Crow, and they did so by defeating the conservatives in the votes for the Civil Rights Act.

Yes. This is a combination between the war in Ukraine and inflation caused by money that was pumped into the market to prevent a recession during pandemic lockdowns. Would you rather have had another Great Depression, because that is where we were headed. How so? Yes. Pandemics and the resulting economic effects can and do have disproportionate effects on the poor. Biden helped ease some of those problems through several programs during the recovery from the initial lockdowns, such as direct payments and rent assistance. Yes, but Republicans will block any such legislation.

You need to familiarize yourself with history:

Up until the post-World War II period, the party’s hold on the region was so entrenched that Southern politicians usually couldn’t get elected unless they were Democrats. But when President Harry S. Truman, a Democratic Southerner, introduced a pro-civil rights platform at the party’s 1948 convention, a faction walked out.

​

These defectors, known as the “Dixiecrats,” held a separate convention in Birmingham, Alabama. There, they nominated South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond, a staunch opposer of civil rights, to run for president on their “States’ Rights” ticket. Although Thurmond lost the election to Truman, he still won over a million popular votes.

​

It “was the first time since before the Civil War that the South was not solidly Democratic,” Goldfield says. “And that began the erosion of the southern influence in the Democratic party.”
How Republicans and the 'Southern Strategy' Won Over the Once Democratic South - HISTORY

Strom Thurmond is the prime example, and there are many, many more. The South once voted solidly Democratic, but now it votes solidly Republican, and that started after the passing of the Civil Rights Act and the defection of the Dixiecrats from the Democratic party to the Republican party. It's not a big secret.

Ummm, no. In Febuarary 2022, before the invasion of Ukrain, gas prices were around $3.50.AAA Gas PricesPrices were at that price because of a world wide shortage of oil, even at that point. The invasion of Ukraine worsened that shortage. What do you want Biden to do, force other countries to produce more oil? The US is already a net exporter of oil. This has been true for Biden's entire term. We produce more oil than we consume. We never produced enough oil to supply ourselves and all of our allies. Never. What active pipeline did Biden stop? We were already a net exporter. Yet more bare assertions with no facts to back them up. Republicans also strong stated their support of socialism in the form of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA system of hospitals, and numerous other social programs.
​

According to the concept of the Trinity, Jesus is God, so that would make God God's only son. Jesus is God, so that would mean God started to exist when God was a gleam in his own eye. That doesn't make much sense.

The racist Southern Democrats defected over to the Republican party. That's a fact. That's where they remain.You also seem to ignore modern history. Which party is fighting for minority rights? Democrats or Republicans? At which rallies to you see the battle flag of the Confederacy? Is it at Democratic rallies, or Republican ones? Who is fighting against Affirmative Action and Voting rights that were part of the Civil Rights Act? It isn't Democrats.

Ron Wyatt has been dead for years, and he's still conning people. Amazing.

Or just outright scams.

One of the individuals who I interviewed, who lost approximately 30,000 thousand dollars to Ron Wyatt, went to Israel with him, supposedly to see some of these sights and record them on film. An assignment editor of a major television station in Nasheville went with them. Not only did this individual not see any of these incredible discoveries, but his wife was told by one of Ron Wyatt's sons that the chariot wheels that Ron supposedly discovered in the Gulf of Aqaba were planted there by Ron. Mr. Wyatt gave this couple some coins which he supposedly found at the Ark of the Covenant site. Again, one of Wyatt's sons informed the wife that Wyatt bought those coins. Gentle, soft-spoken Ron verbally abused an Arab car rental agent when the agent told Mr. Wyatt that his son was to young to drive the vehicle.

​

This couple and the television man returned with nothing to show for the ten's of thousands of dollars he gave to Ron. Later, Ron returned and asked for $10,000 dollars more. This man told Ron he would give him the money if he agreed to take a lie detector test and sign a statement agreeing to allow this man to use the results of the test any way he wanted. Ron tried to get the money without agreeing to take the test, but when he saw that he would not get another dime without the test, he finally signed the statement and took the test. In the words of the man who put Ron Wyatt through the test, as told by the man who gave Ron Wyatt all the previous money, "He failed just about everything except his name."

​

After this, Ron Wyatt physically threatened the man who had Wyatt sign the statement. I also found out one of the so-called scientific apparatuses Ron Wyatt used to determine that he verified the true Noah's Ark, was a device advertised in the back of treasure hunter magazines. It was nothing but a glorified "divining rod." It had absolutely no scientific value whatsoever, yet leading ancient antiquities professors, Creation Science people with advanced degrees in geology, and newsmen fell for a modern version of the old water "divining rod."
A Great Christian Scam

There are many evolutionists who think the first life was created by God. This is common among Christians who accept evolution.More to the point, not one thing in the theory of evolution would need to be changed if the first life was created by God and the biodiversity we see today evolved from that universal common ancestor. But it requires no faith to believe life was magicked into existence by a deity?

Ask a theistic evolutionist. All I know is that there are millions and millions of Christians who accept evolution.

We are not talking about whether they are right nor not. We are talking about what they say their beliefs are. Earlier, you said:"Evolutionists believe that life was created by random chance."I was pointing out that this isn't true of all evolutionists. There are evolutionists who believe the first life was created by God.
