Choosing a faith

Note that the backbone is not the entire body.However, the body doesn't function as well without it. I'm not charging anybody with anything. The people who reaped the benefis of slavery (all the way down to you) are the ones who ran up the bills. I'm just pointing out that it's not, as you say, ludicrous to ask them to pay their bills. Paying your bills is not a lie. You should try to think before you blather your knee-jerk right-wing nonsense. *shrug* Never is a long time.In Canada, weve been paying reparations to indigenous people for decades. (Not near enough yet, mind you, but still better than "NEVER".) Maybe even you Americans will turn from your evil ways before never.

So did Jim Keegstra. It was a Jewish conspiracy and he expected it to come about by the millennium. Not at all. I have ridiculed it six ways from Sunday - and YOU ignore everything I say. Well of course it is not what I'm talking about. There's no such thing as a "globalist socialist agenda". HOW? How could I know that?Keegstra "knew" it was going to happen by 2000. It didn't. You have not made an argument.

That's not an example. It's your delusion. You're no Bible-thumper. You throw out the Bible.The rest of you're drivel I'm not even going to read.

I don't think it's a minority. I think it's pretty much a scholarly consensus. Believing He existed doesn't count any more than believing the Flood happened counts.

But the Emperor had no clothes.(Your end-times nonsense is mostly wrong but that belongs in a different topic.)

Again, that is not an argument. You have not shown how paying your bills causes more harm than good. How can you acknowledge a mistake without trying to fix it? Is that how your father built houses? "Yes, I acknowledge that the roof leaks. Goodbye." Causing the KKK to burn more crosses is nor "social unrest".

Read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Tell me you don't see yourself.

People with an IQ of 9 think they can school the grownups.For those with an IQ of 10 and up: Murder is natural and inevitable. Nobody thinks we can "eradicate" it but we can prevent some of it with laws that promise to lock murderers up and throw away the key. And we can prevent some more by educating people about the laws. Why wouldn't something similar work with racists?

You're denying. You're not showing what you claim. YOU don't get to decide what's "good enough". Society as a whole will decide what is necessary. The slaves were not allowed to sign treaties, moron. They were not considered human. A slave could no more sign a treaty than your fridge can sign a treaty.That's why there are no treaties.But we've changed our minds. We've decided that black people ARE human after all. So human decency requires us to do what we can to atone for the attrocities we committed in the past. See above.But even in the absence of any legal niceties, I think a strong legal case could be made for paying what you owe. Unwritten contracts, "gentlemen's agreements", deals made "on a handshake" have a long history in common law (longer than written contracts).

So you SAY you read books you don't want to read but you don't actually read them.I'm on my third read. Not just Hitler but the dupes who enabled him. "Oh yes sir, sure sir, three bags full sir." It's a portrait of every RepublicaNazi who enables Trump. Obligated. Wow. If you looked up, could you see the sky too? You keep saying they are going to. They already did. Where were you in 2016? And you also have faith in the Republicans who are trying to destroy that system. That's not an argument. It's just denial.Try going to the bank and telling them that you're not going to pay your mortgage because "that guy" didn't pay his. And look how that turned out.Rationality would tell you, "Don't be Germany!"But you're happy making the same mistakes over and over and over again.

Again, yes. This topic has already been through that.Some historians may believe that a person named Jesus existed but the actual details of his life, especially the miracles, are dubious.You might as well say that James Bond must have existed because Ian Fleming mentioned him. But Dr. No did not exist. Goldfinger did not exist, Ernst Stavro Blofeld did not exist.

Do you want the US to have the reputation of a nation that breaks its word? You're an idiot.

It has nothing to do with anything global. Where do you get such nonsense?It's a US problem ONLY.Canada has a similar problem with our indigenous people and we ARE trying to solve it (albeit very slowly). So shove your bullshit about it being "impossible". It IS being done. It's NOT about the planet. It's about YOUR nation doing what's right.Stop being such an evil bastard.

You like to pretend you know who was "meant" to be taken as historical. As I have said to you before, stories about miracles and resurrections were NOT "written to be taken" as historical.

It should be obvious to all but the dimmest wit. Only the US decides what the US does. I told you that MY nation is trying to solve OUR problem but you insist it can't be done. That's EXACTLY how it works. Have you never HEARD of democracy?
