I have a problem with the idea that God can do whatever he wants and no one will be willing to call him out on it. You're in no position to ever speak again about morality. Excuses. Where is your God? Why does he allow so of this evil to fester when he could wipe it out? You have np excuse...

It is an excuse. It's an argument from authority. Well, he's the chief, so... And yet he seems reluctant to do so in the modern age. Almost like the Greek gods who disappeared as knowledge about the world increased. God destroys people in the OT. But he lets Kim live in comfort.

If I were to use the same excuse, you'd call me a monster and a child killer. But because it's God, any atrocity is permitted.

The flood was even worse. Mass murder of everyone except for Noah and his family. I know that they're all just stories. Hence why God doesn't do those sorts of things anymore.

I would never be in favor of the death penalty for children.

The Christians, I mean. How can you change it when the bible itself is the reason?

Yes. But not for children.

Anyone can read what it says for themselves. In the story of Exodus, God murders children. It isn't flawed to say this is morally reprehensible.

What's the alternative? Support for an invasion and occupation of Venezuela? How will people convince themselves that this is a good idea when Trump campaigned on ending wars?

I would hold him accountable to the law. If a perfect God cannot think of another way to solve problems except through violence, then he is not divine nor is he perfect.

Do we also apply this sort of logic to orthodox Jews? The idea that no one has any objection to Christ that isn't based on a desire to live a sinful life is both untrue and slanderous.

MAGA will not be okay with another quagmire like Iraq and Afghanistan.

But... I'm not wrong.

I can do one better. An interview with an actual time traveler. :gd

You know I'm right, Matthias.

I think these 9/11 conspiracy theories are ultimately a distraction from what we're dealing with now. The wars in both Ukraine and Gaza are devastating. This coming war with Venezuela is going to cost Trump his presidency should he give the military the green light.

Europe doesn't know what it wants other than for Ukraine to win the war. But that ship has sailed. Macron can talk about sending French troops into Ukraine, but he'll never do it. I think these European leaders are acting tough, but they're all secretly terrified of Trump's desire for the US to...

If God were a person doing these things, we would put him in jail and throw away the key.

Then why does he require animal sacrifice and stupid stuff like that? It's so human. It's so petty. It's so primitive. It's exactly what we would expect from the mind's of that time period. Human minds, not divine ones. A divine mind would object to animal sacrifice, slavery, murdering children...

I mean, how can you negotiate a surrender and still have the surrendering nation come out on top? That's why this "peace plan" will never get off the ground. They're expecting Rubio to do the impossible.
