It's perfectly fine if you believe in and worship whatever you want. It just becomes a problem when you think your religion should be the law of the land and start making laws to discriminate against people because your religion says its OK.
kind of like how god flooded the earth and killed everyone to rid the world of sin right?
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;51757199]Does God shitpost on Facebook about Trump like my family does?[/QUOTE] lol why do people bad mouth their family to complete strangers
[QUOTE=Toothpick;51759316]lol why do people bad mouth their family to complete strangers[/QUOTE] ever lived with an incredibly unintelligent/ignorant family to a point of a tarnished upbringing? or an abusive one, perhaps? 'but they're family!' does not entitle blood kin to respect
[QUOTE=Toothpick;51759316]lol why do people bad mouth their family to complete strangers[/QUOTE] Because if they vent to friends or family it might come back and bite them in the ass?
So basically 45% of the GOP believe that democracy is irrelevant?
I honestly don't know how you can believe in an all-powerful god, and simultaneously believe that some events aren't a consequence of it.
This is really bad to hear, it'll make it much harder for them to want to get him [B]out[/B] of office. Heck, they might not even like the guy but if they think God put him there then they might not be inclined to get him away either. Unless they believe he was put there as some form of test? I'm an agnostic (was raised baptist-evangelical) and to me Trump, by teachings of the Bible, meets the Bible's definition of someone you should [B]not[/B] trust or follow to a T. I just don't understand how any Christians can be okay with electing him, just because of Pence?
[QUOTE=AWarmMoose;51757546]Well technically god allows all presidents to win...[/QUOTE] It's like the Mandate of Heaven! :v: [quote=wikipedia]The Mandate of Heaven depends on the virtue of the emperor; if he does not fulfill his obligations as emperor, then he loses the Mandate and thus the right to be emperor. The Mandate of Heaven would then transfer to whoever would rule best. The fact that a ruler was overthrown was taken by itself as an indication that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven.[/quote] Anyway, doesn't the Book of Revelations say something about a false messiah figure that will beguile everyone into following him as if he were the messiah?
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;51759668]I honestly don't know how you can believe in an all-powerful god, and simultaneously believe that some events aren't a consequence of it.[/QUOTE] religion is a breeding ground for cognitive dissonance anyway so it's not surprising. ironically, who was the first socialist? hint, he might have been a carpenter, and definitely didn't look like everyone thinks he did.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;51759668]I honestly don't know how you can believe in an all-powerful god, and simultaneously believe that some events aren't a consequence of it.[/QUOTE] The way I was taught Christian canon is that once humanity left God's grace after eating the fruit of knowledge, God essentially relinquished all control of happenings on Earth. We had free will and knowledge, now it was up to us to steer the planet's future.
sure, god helped trump win to deliver punishment
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;51757199]Does God shitpost on Facebook about Trump like my family does?[/QUOTE] Why don't you follow god on Facebook and find out [SP]he shit posts about people who shit post on his page[/SP]

When he made the universe, he already knew everything that was ever going to happen. I know I'm basically wandering into a few thousand years worth of discussion, but free will and an omnipotent God is basically an oxymoron.
Why would got help Obama win then?
Are these the same idiots who thought President Obama was the anti-christ? Also the first page of posts is pure gold, I nearly spit my coffee everywhere.
Why would they reject heir social conditioning? It's been with them since childhood. Organized religion is cancer
[QUOTE=Firetornado;51760906]Why would they reject heir social conditioning? It's been with them since childhood. Organized religion is cancer[/QUOTE] better question why do we allow this kind of social conditioning to happen (i'd say every kind, but the dangers of pedophilia are an example of positive conditioning)
