@osucowboytc Many people's default is knowing politicians lie and pretend to care when they don't. It's wrong and I hate it (I'd never make it in politics), but most people around the world recognize it to be so.
But what Trump and Vance did was a shock for many in their own camp.
@OriginalRizzler@Provokethoughtz And the Department of Education has a vested interest in public schools looking less bad than they are. Guess we need to try to find an unbiased source.
Can we both agree that we need to bring back the death penalty for pedophiles?
@OriginalRizzler@Provokethoughtz Percentage rate. The most extensive records are for the US and Australia, if you want to look it up.
If you're not a Christian it would be unfair then to target those with lower misbehavior. But I, being one, hold them to a higher standard, and think we need to stoke the fires.
@OriginalRizzler@Provokethoughtz I agree it is way too high (and you missed the fact that sadly the Papal States no longer exist and secular rulers don't enforce moral laws), but statistically it is at lower rates than abuse by teachers, doctors, psychologists, and authority members in other congregations.
@ProjectLincoln They should have hated communism.
Do you hate Germany? You should have hated National Socialism.
Do you hate Iran? You should hate radical Islamism.
I don't know why this is so hard to comprehend for some people. Maybe it helps being a Christian: "hate the sin, not the sinner"
@RandiWhite It's October 9th. The election is November 5th.
And then they're surprised that people are uneasy with the way the system is operating now.
@BSDestroyer6969 @Provokethoughtz One of the 12 Apostles was a traitor. This isn't unbelievable. What matters is an appropriate response.
Which in this case should be death. Like St. Pius V decreed, yet SCOTUS denied.
It seems harder to be moral without religion to me...
@OriginalRizzler@Provokethoughtz Pope Pius V declared pedophilia a capital crime.
What is lacking is enforcement by secular authorities.
It was in fact the US Supreme Court that banned the death penalty as a punishment: https://t.co/XlpAkKt1dE
And that's for children. 1977 for a 16-year old "adult."
@merabuki@Provokethoughtz As in the rapists got the death they deserved.
It was only the US Supreme Court that said capital punishment was "too cruel" for rapists, while making abortion legal... so I would say that Christians aren't rapists par excellence. Do you want to share some stats or something?
@merabuki@Provokethoughtz The first two examples of rape mentioned in the bible (that of one of the daughters of Jacob and of Absalom's sister) were met with violent retribution which the Bible does not condemn. Also taught that strength is meant to protect others and women should be treated with respect.
@ProPessimist@Provokethoughtz I'm curious where you get those stats, but thanks for the compliment, if that's what it was.
Still, it's my father who ought to be thanked for telling me: "A las mujeres no se les toca ni con el petalo de una rosa."
@Brcremer Technically His taxes went to the Roman state which used them to go to war against Celts and Germanic tribes, while the loaves and fishes were provided by a charitable young man, so...
