Re: Upcoming US Election

Yeah. The DNC canned Sanders. I really think Sanders would have been the difference in 2016. He'd have a been a much better President too than Trump. Instead we got Trump. Gotta love the Dumbocrats. But they're better than the alternative. The Repuglicans are off the radar. And now this is where we...

Re: Upcoming US Election

The upcoming election is destined to be a strange one. The American-flag-flying MAGA Trump supporters claim to love America, but despise our system of government and tried to overthrow the will of the voters. In addition, they yammer constantly about how horrible America is. Huh? The stock market i...

Re: Upcoming US Election

I mean, ideally, if I object to it my hope is that the one who's trying to steal it would try to be a decent human being and not take something that they had no right to take if I objected to it. Otherwise, I'm too old and weak to win in a fight for it. I mean, if my choice is either fight for my ho...

Re: Upcoming US Election

Well, whatever the case, it'd be nice if someone gets elected who can steer us all clear of WW3. We should never have given the Ukrainians weaponry. Ukraine would have been easily taken over without all the bloodshed. They'd be screwed politically, but at least Ukrainians would be alive today who a...

Upcoming US Election

Let's see. Option 1: Vote for the guy with dementia. Option 2: Vote for the narcissist. Option 3: Vote for my schizophrenic self. Option 4: Throw my vote away on one of the millions of decent human beings who stand no chance of winning Option 5: Don't vote What wonderful choices we in the US have. M...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Honestly, I would think I have more to fear from some people out there than I do from God, if there is one.

If you mean that, and really want to know God, then I'm confident it won't be long.

Heads up.
Sounds good.

I would like to think so. But what makes you think that?
Most people are unless they're running around instigating a great deal of harm. I assume you're probably like most of us.

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

IC. I'm sure you're a decent human being. However, if there's a God, then God is welcome to show him or herself to me. I would think such an event would be a welcoming one. I mean, if God came before me in some threatening manner, then I might bow to him out of fear, if that's what he wants. And if ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

If God is a good being, then God is welcome to come before me and make his presence known if that's what God wants to do. Until, then I'll remain agnostic. What if he's already done enough, and you are just unwilling to accept His terms? What if you insist on running the relationship your own way.....

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Read Romans 1: 18-end. Question answered. How is that passage above the least bit relevant to reasoning that God exists? The evidence is not merely out there in nature, around us all, but we also have intuitive knowledge of God, for, as it says "God has made it evident to them." In fact, ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Is it reasonable to suppose that the Supreme Being, having had one kind of interaction with Moses, owes it to every other person to have the same sort of interaction? What would you suppose is the answer, Gary? Well, suppose you had not only the physical evidence of the visible universe around you,...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

"Feelings" are of little interest. Let's go with reasoning, shall we? OK. Sure. What "reasoning" tells me there is a God? Read Romans 1: 18-end. Question answered. 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppres...
