Imagine a tech CEO you're considering working for or investing in. You reference check him with his former VP of Marketing and they say "unfit to be a CEO, never working with him again". You check with his former VP of Sales who says "should never be a CEO again". Damn, not good but you keep going. His former CTO says "he's borderline incompetent". You check with his former General Counsel who says "no respect for the rule of law, lies all the time, never working with him again". Ok really bad given he hired all these people but you try one more, his former CFO who says "I wouldn't work with him if I were you, he can't be trusted".
That guy you're vetting? That's Trump.
His former Vice President isn't supporting him and thinks he’s unfit for office. Same with his first Attorney General. And his first Defence Secretary. And his second. And his former head of the Joint Chiefs. Same with his second Chief of Staff. And his third. And his second National Security Advisor. And his third.
You'd never work for or invest in a CEO who referenced so badly with so many senior people they chose to hire and worked closely with. Why would you ever vote for someone who does?
@dlbeard@Askwhyisit If god can create a place without suffering while retaining free will then it is sadistic to create earth and needlessly torture us here.
@bdm_cmpe04 The whole debate was, is there divinely commanded child abuse in the bible and the answer is yes. My next question would be how do you know it’s wrong to abuse children when your god tells you that sometimes it’s ok to abuse or even kill them?
@bdm_cmpe04 There is no evidence for objective moral truth. Morals are evolved and continue to evolve and there is evidence for that. We have been gradually improving and refining. There have been setbacks and I would argue most have been due to religion.
@SupEverybodyy@ROWEBOT3339@ShawnRyan762 Do you follow the ten commandments? If your god is perfect then why aren’t his commandments? Why do you have to use your own judgment to decipher which ones to follow? Doesn’t that demonstrate a sense of right and wrong independent of the bible?
@bdm_cmpe04 No, I didn’t see anything wrong with roe v wade. I also don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how I should restrict women. Now answer my question. If your wife had an abortion would you report her for murder and testify against her in court?
@bdm_cmpe04 The abortion of a non viable fetus is not equivalent to killing a baby. If your wife had a life saving abortion would you testify against her in a murder trial? I am glad you are admitting that your “perfect” god’s commandments to abuse children are immoral. That’s progress.
@bdm_cmpe04 I don’t have a position in need of defense. I’m not telling women what to do with their bodies or making healthcare decisions for them. I provided examples of child abuse in the bible because you said you couldn’t find any.
@bdm_cmpe04 You said you support abortion in some cases. I just said it’s none of my business. We know conservatives don’t care about other people that why you are so unpopular.
@bdm_cmpe04 I know where you got your “morals” so I don’t expect you to agree. I don’t want you to agree your stance is extremely unpopular and it causes huge problems at the polls for conservatives and republicans. You turn more people off than I could ever win over so I appreciate it.
@bdm_cmpe04 I don’t think it’s worse to take a morning after pill versus forcing the woman to carry to term and deliver the baby at great personal risk only abandon the baby to suffer in the foster system. Do you agree?
@bdm_cmpe04 It depends on each individual case. I don’t know enough about it to make a rule. I recently became a parent and I do know it’s not for everyone. An unwanted fetus becomes and unwanted child. There are 114,000 unwanted children up for adoption already in the US.
