@SpecterAndBride What’s the context? We find these in an abandoned remote mountain cabin after limping from a single engine aircraft crash in the dead of winter, only have a single damp match left in our shaking, hypothermic finders, and have to decide which is going to make better kindling?
@thescottbarber Never ends. I thought discovering the little kickstand for the gas pump trigger solved all your problems.
99 problems and fluid transfer isn’t one of them, Scott.
@Lily_Warrior @ZachWLambert@ZNursinga@thescottbarber They are Calvinists. No point trying to lead someone to Christ; God already picked his favourites.
But in the meantime, it’s their pleasure to call everyone depraved sinners even though there’s nothing the ones God left out in the cold can do about it. I don’t make the rules.
@Komaniecki_R I apparently owe Amazon $1.37 on some extra AWS account. They have emailed me every month for four years threatening to cancel the account.
I know where you are going. It’s like Zeno’s Dichotomy and never getting there.
@bonhoefferchild Maybe. Half a bil that someone will never get back because he’s the trash person who stiffs people on what he owes. The appeal gets turned down and that money is gone. Then Trump would have to pony up his own money.
But if he pillages the RNC fund and bankrupts it…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@megbasham I don’t think as many as you wish are stymied by a concept of original sin or inherent sinful nature. But many recognize that there is a certain hyperbole to this poetic language. Is it birth or conception? Is sin involuntary. Is a colicky or hungry baby sinning?
@JosiahHawthorne Dunno. Elsewhere a person isn’t a person until first breath. I think those fixating on that passage as doctrine rather than figuration just need some puzzle piece of their sin fetish to fit.
Christ made the sin where we began a paper tiger, no?
“I have the sin of fear.”

@conservmillen TL;DR: “whomever he restrained, muffled, and had the vagina he jammed his stubby unwashed fingers into against her will was totally worth it for the SCOTUS picks.”

@WilliamsNietzs3 One of the things I don’t care enough about to wonder.
Just saw a post from Owen’s claiming to finally be free (with the requisite link to a donation page.).

Beth, while Trump isn’t my guy in the primary (nor was he in 2016), I do think you have a blind spot.
There may be a segment of Trump fans who love everything he posts, including the name-calling and the accusations of backstabbing toward former allies he now considers disloyal. But the majority of his ardent supporters don’t like these things. It’s just that, to them, his flaws pale in comparison to what he’s accomplished. His SCOTUS picks helped overturn Roe, saving thousands of image bearing lives. He helped bring about unprecedented peace in the Middle East. He oversaw a booming economy.
I could list things I think he did wrong, but he also did a lot of things right. That’s why people like him. Plus, his political enemies have thrown everything possible at him, and still are. Heck, Time Magazine published a whole article explaining how national and international entities worked together to keep Trump out of office. Thus his supporters think, “If all the people that hate me also hate him, he must be onto something.” They see him as the victim of an unjust system and the only one who can effectively fight back against it.
You can agree with them or not, but it’s inaccurate and unfair to say everyone who votes for him does so because they enjoy bullying and verbal abuse. It’s like saying that everyone who voted for Biden specifically wanted someone who can’t complete a coherent sentence and lies constantly.
Which brings me to my next point—Where is your lament for our current political leadership? The Biden administration is objectively wicked. Destructive. Oppressive. Idolatrous. Bloodthirsty. Foolish. It actively promotes the butchering of children both in and outside the womb. Its support of abortion and genital mutilation are sufficient reasons to publicly condemn Biden and his cohort, and yet, at least from what I’ve seen, you haven’t. The faults in the White House go beyond bullying. The policies it pushes cause chaos, death, and decay.
Every single city dominated by these progressive policies has been destroyed, Beth. Violence, drugs, inescapable poverty - all enabled and exacerbated by laws enacted in the name of progressive compassion.
It’s okay that you don’t like Trump. I have my gripes, too. But save some righteous anger for the greater evil unfolding before your eyes, under this administration. If Trump is our mirror, so is Biden. And that, I’m afraid, is a far more sobering thought.
