@all_themoxie @BenZeisloft @Agonzo1 False dichotomy. We have some distinct beliefs from creed-based Christianity but when people like Ben say we aren’t Christian it leads people to falsely think we don’t have faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

According to the Bible, we are Christians.

@GatesOfSplendor @RJtheCableGuy @BenZeisloft I guess you didn’t finish the chapter…

[Steadman @howdyafigure]

@RJtheCableGuy @BenZeisloft Talk about a self-own… did you forget to finish the chapter?

[Steadman @howdyafigure]

Frankly, I couldn’t care less whether you consider us Christian or what you think about our doctrine, though I would be happy for your conversion.

What I do care about is making sure that when you tell people we aren’t Christian that those people understand that we are disciples of Jesus Christ, the living God.

We proclaim the very Jesus Christ of the Bible who died on the cross and resurrected on the third day, the Son of God, leads our church today through living prophets and apostles, as in former times.

@SocialistMormon Yes, wouldn’t that be nice. Unfortunately, it can’t work. Such a system will be abused by all parties involved and destroy itself. Eventually you get what we see in Canada, where they’re pushing assisted suicide in lieu of proper care for the sick or disabled.

@Troylus_true @maklelan I also served my mission in Korea (Seoul West) and got bumped up to business class on my homebound flight when connecting in Tokyo. This was ‘99.

The guy is a joke. Total DEI hire. His PhD dissertation was a throwaway detail that his advisor let him have and his only publication for which he was first author was titled “on the probability of a major impact on Uranus in the next hundred years”. No one should take anything he has to say seriously.

@LDSLaw @TheGermanicist A lot of our governmental problems could be resolved by interpreting the Constitution through the lens of the Declaration of Independence.

@LPMisesCaucus @NancyMace Nobody should be taxed directly at all. Tax corporate profits and consumption, namely an import tariff and a graduated VAT.

[Steadman @howdyafigure]

It’s not that atheists can’t be moral. The problem is that atheists have no way to epistemically justify that morality exists at all; so the motivation to live morally is based on faith.

The fact that morality does exist and is naturally understood by most people is evidence for God’s existence, not against. By adopting a moral framework for living, the atheist is unwittingly displaying faith in God.

@iheartmindy @ReturnOfKappy If you listen to the guys who founded Palantir like Joe Lonsdale, their mission is to watch the watchers. Not saying that’s what they’re actually trying to do but that is likely what the Flynn brothers believed.

@mfreivald Unless one has faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind he cannot be called a Christian. No, the atheist is not a Christian.

The premise is so dumb I don’t believe the conversation ever happened, or if it did it has been totally distorted and taken out of context.

@philthatremains @mask_bastard Most of what the RHCP put out doesn’t appeal to me but their album By The Way from 2002 is one of my all time favorites. Somehow that band produced a singular masterpiece.

@EJNakayama FYI, Americans settling things with guns is why we count our worst mass murders in the tens, while Europe, Russia and China each count them in the tens of millions.

@HistoryBoomer Ridiculous.

Socialism is defined by government control of the means of production. Everything else is marketing.

[Steadman @howdyafigure]

For crying out loud… atheists don’t even understand their own worldview, never mind that of the faithful.

The stated basis for your rejection of God is whatever can’t be empirically proven is make-believe. Right and wrong cannot be empirically measured nor proven to exist.

Any atheist determined to “do the right thing” is like a Christian determined to make the hajj to Mecca or a football player determined to hit a home run in the next game.

Get it?

Therefore, your standards for what is “right” or “wrong” are either entirely arbitrary or borrowed from a faith-based system.

Pay your house off aggressively. You’re in the early stage of amortization where nearly all of your payment is interest, so start knocking down the principal as fast as you can. Build equity.

You don’t need a bigger place. When you settle down, you and the man of your dreams should make that decision together.

Being severely over-leveraged into two interest phase mortgages is high risk and being a landlord is more work and expense than you might think. It’s not worth it at this stage of your life..

[Steadman @howdyafigure]

The innate ability for people to feel empathy and intuit right from wrong is evidence for God, not against.

The problem with the atheist belief system is not that its adherents can’t figure out right and wrong; it’s that it cannot epistemically justify the existence of metaphysical categories like morals or human feelings like empathy. Can you weigh me out a pound of morals? Can you give me a bouquet of empathy? Where do these concepts exist in reality?

In the atheistic framework they do not exist. There are only synapses firing in a biochemical meat sack. “Life” is of the same value as a rock, just particles in motion.

So, by all means, have your morals and empathy. Just know that in living by them you are subconsciously acknowledging that God lives and that you have that degree of faith in Him.

@novatjerneld @BigBrainBizness @Geopolitics_Emp @BreneBrown An excellent example of fallacious beliefs and disordered thinking. Thank you.
