If only there was some way to look it up.

I don't buy that for a second. I don't live in America and I heard all about his mocking of the disabled reporter, grab em by the pussy, his casino bankruptcies, his university fraud, his Howard Stern interview, Central Park and his fraud against contractors prior to 2016.

The second time around we had all of those, plus his shocking covid response, his charity fraud, E Jean Carrol, Jan 6, documents case, Epstein and his 34 felonies.

If you didn't know about these things, you have no business voting.

I like the word "still" in that first question. It's like you completely accept that this is where most of us came from, not only with gay rights, but also women's rights and apostacy laws.

Hey, just out of curiosity, do you live in a country where "gay panic" is still a viable defence in a murder trial? If not, how long has that been the case?

Do you live in a country where members of the long term citizenry are campaigning to remove voting rights from women? Do you consider those people to be part of your culture, or looking from the outside, would I?

Does the holy book of your mainstream religion contain commandments to kill apostates?

And finally, do you think it's possible to separate laws from culture in these conversations? Like seriously, is your country in any danger from having these laws implemented in your legislative bodies?

Name a wrong culture.

How am I making it worse?

Culture is not limited to the borders of your country, nor is it consistent within those borders. Do you think the culture of your biggest city (wherever you live) is the same as the one in Bumfuck Nowhere in your country? Do you think people in my country are completely immune from your culture despite you not being here and most of my fellow citizens never visiting your culture?

Is you country's culture fixed in place? No. I bet you could name five things off the top of your head that have changed about your culture in the last fifty years. Did they come from inside your country completely organically or were they influenced from outside sources?

Can you name elements of your culture that would be agreed upon by everyone in your country? Like your favourite sport, is that played and watched by everyone in your country? How about your religion? Is it ok if I move to your country, follow all the laws, eat the food, listen to your music but refuse to follow your religion?

Culture is nebulous. Impossible to fully encapsulate in a time and place in a statement like "All x do y."

Don't mistake culture for laws. Go to a country, obey their laws.

Jesus warned everyone, multiple times, in various ways, the gun is not fake. He even demonstrates it with shots to various targets set up around the exhibition.

Because the disagreements are both the gun and the shots in your metaphor. "Do this" or "Follow these laws" are inconsistent in all of these religions. I would bet good money on the fact that your idea of "love your neighbour" is inconsistent with what the bible actually says.

Why?

I do not care.

Come here and keep what you want from your own culture. Enjoy what you like from our culture. Mix with us as much or as little as you want. Enjoy our sports, food, pastimes, religious gatherings, government services or don't.

Just make sure you follow our laws.

Tomorrow will come. It will be here regardless of whether your friend is here, you're here, the earth is here or the sun is here.

Tell her you'll make a deal with her. For every day that Jesus returns, you'll give her $10,000. For every day that tomorrow comes, she gives you $1.

Is her faith in the returning god greater than 1/10,000th than that of your faith in tomorrow?

You're the problem if you stay. You get the behaviour you accept. Since there aren't any consequences for her cheating, she will do it again and you'll only have yourself to blame: you condone it. Whether you say you don't like it or not, you're accepting it by staying.

This is a hard boundary for most people. Why do you think it's different for you?

"YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

A very simple answer to your question: yes. I can be unmoved. You said it yourself, they are unexplained. Why would I attribute these unexplained events to your god? Can I give your god credit for all unexplained events like hurricanes and famines?

Hospitals are full of people dying that have legions of faithful praying for them. Sick people are taken on pilgrimages. Christians suffer from hunger. Natural disasters take the devout as much as the non believers.

But apparently, the gods that people worship take the time to help people find their house keys and win football championships.

Yes.

Are there no coaches? Referees? Or team officials involved?

"Nah, we've spoken about this, he needs to move up. Of course you can be here, it's a public park and you have every right to complain, but he's not playing today."

Bullshit calling the cops.

When Dems win the Presidency, Jack Smith should be appointed AG with a blank check.

East Parade into the tunnel.

The merge itself is fine if people didn't use the third turning lane intended for Newcastle Street and push in to the two lane merge.

The planners thought that drivers would be reasonable and use the Newcastle lane for Newcastle Street. Haha, don't be stupid.

I propose that lane should be a single solid line. If you're in that lane, you stay in that lane. No tunnel for you.

First of all, the messages are inconsistent. The people I mentioned do not agree with Jesus. Not even Paul agrees with Jesus in the same new testament.

What are your thoughts on all of Jesus' teachings? Which ones do you disagree with? And why?

But that wasn't Jesus' only message or command was it?

Muhammad warned everyone as well. So did Joseph Smith. So did Baháʼu'lláh.

Do you believe their messages?

Lack of evidence.

And then you have the strong evidence against:

Plagiarism.

Unfulfilled prophecy, both from the old testament about the messiah and Jesus' own prophecies failing to come true.

Old testament passages claimed as prophecy that aren't at all prophetic.

Inconsistent and contradictory narratives.

Paul and Jesus disagree with each other.

And finally the followers themselves: no two Christian denominations agree. Even the longest lasting denominations disagree with themselves over time. This whole "We used to believe that and now we believe that".

Now two.

Where in the bible does it say these signs will be fulfilled at different times?

What will you say when, oh I don't know, ten years have passed and still no final judgement? At what point will you say that you're wrong?

Radiohead.

Did the sun darken? Did the moon not give its light? Did the stars fall from heaven? Did the dead rise from their tombs?

Who was left alive from Jesus' disciples who did not taste death at this second coming?

I see a lot of claims but no argument or evidence.

Do you have anything to back up these statements?
