@PGastarbeiter@rbrtcoloradosci@JamesonMic24650@darwintojesus Yes, the god most high created the god that created the world.
The spiritual narrative is that the world is run by a legalistic god who shows no mercy.
That's why the god most high sending his son as a sacrifice freed humanity according to these "legal" rules.
It's symbolism.
@MassDebaterX@Colin0rga@JamesonMic24650@darwintojesus Ignorance is assuming you know what god is and then doubting that assumption.
Why assume you're right if these believing in god disagree that you are?
Is it because the dumbest person you've heard describe god sounds like they're wrong?
Now isn't that cherry-picking?
@MobiusDick You have to prove that treating religon as a scientific and unfalsifiable claim is accurate.
Only then is it logical to treat it as a factual claim and withhold belief.
If it's a symbolic claim then you are doubting it because you don't understand the symbolic translation.
@rastamarat@TravisHyer@darwintojesus Oof. For someone who clearly values wit, you seem extremely comfortable showing ignorance.
Calling knowledge fruit because it was symbolized that way in a parable is just silly and you know it.
@darwintojesus Atheists believe in Christianity.
I was an atheist for 20 years.
I realized that I believed I knew what Christianity was, so I could "disprove" or at least reasonably doubt it when in fact the narrative I knew was wrong and I "believed" Christianity was something it wasn't.
@_MilkMonkey_@saulgoodman1277@evilsteveve Agreed. 100%.
My argument was merely for legal immigration, only in a citizenship deficit, and only at a high expense.
I don't want some Saudi prince coming here and buying a bunch of land or anything, so their ownership should be limited.
@jeffufuh6169@saulgoodman1277@evilsteveve You're on step 2 of the plan.
You're right. though. Step 1 is to limit immigration to the decline of citizenship.
Step 2 is to address decline of citizenship as a symptom of an issue that requires a solution.
Step 3 is where we bring manufacturing back..
@_MilkMonkey_@saulgoodman1277@evilsteveve The cost to apply for citizenship being $800,000 almost ensures that you're not dealing with people who will have a language barrier.
@JQPatriot44@pastorpaper Jesus Christ, a piscean avatar represented by the cross, was institutionalized and foundational to modern judeo-christianity.
The actual gospels and message of our boy Josh are a different thing.
The closed black box represents secrecy. A symbol of it open represents truth.
