Open Minded Agnostic Atheist

Say you work or perhaps own a business and must pay taxes (real estate, income, SS, Medicare, etc) like the vast majority do. Now explain how you aren't paying more to support those getting tax breaks? And how that's supposed to be funny? Say some super rich asshole starts a foundation, sticks their money in there along with other rich people's, then spends it building new wings on some Ivy League college dorms, helping the local symphony orchestra, and buying new uniforms for some baseball teams. Supposedly due to "charity" they avoid paying taxes coming and going, plus get to spend the money that would normally have gone to state coffers pretty much as they please including self-advertising like crazy. Yeah, having our billionaires and major religious establishments making tons of big decisions for us on our dime every day is hilarious. Democracy at its finest.

The Church doesn't receive tax payer funds. You are trying very hard to make it seem like they do. I find it funny that you feel the need to do so. Where's your sense of humor?

You don’t think churches got money when everyone else got money?

i thought I made too much but even I got $950. I’m just gonna put mine in the stock market.

No. I think the schools did.

I know my church took out a loan. They sent out a letter asking the members of it was ok. $150k and they have a year to pay it back. So basically they asked the suckers if they would pay off his $15k a month low interest loan. Of course the suckers said yes.

So besides what everyone mailed in when church wasn’t open, he’s finding a way to get more money.

im sure the priest and you will justify but all I say is what a racket.

Karl Marx had the exact same opinion about churches. You are in excellent company.

ding's been eating too many bags of dicks. He thought it might help him grow some brain cells but just made him even more of a humorless dick.

That didn't take very long for you to make it about politics. Thanks for proving my point about the connection between socialism and atheism.

Socialism intentionally denies examination because it is irrational. There is no formal defined dogma of socialism. Instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach. Socialism seeks equality through uniformity and communal ownership Socialism has an extraordinary ability to incite and inflame its adherents and inspire social movements. Socialists dismiss their defeats and ignore their incongruities. They desire big government and use big government to implement their morally relativistic social policies. Socialism is a religion. The religious nature of socialism explains their hostility towards traditional religions which is that of one rival religion over another. Their dogma is based on materialism, primitive instincts, atheism and the deification of man. They see no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. They practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and normalization of deviance. They worship science but are the first to reject it when it suits their purposes. They can be identified by an external locus of control. Their religious doctrine is abolition of private property, abolition of family, abolition of religion and equality via uniformity and communal ownership. They practice critical theory which is the Cultural Marxist theory to criticize what they do not believe to arrive at what they do believe without ever having to examine what they believe. They confuse critical theory for critical thinking. Critical thinking is the practice of challenging what one does believe to test its validity. Something they never do.

That didn't take very long for you to make it about your politics. Thanks for proving my point about the connection between eating too many bags of dicks and just becoming a bigger one as the predictable result.

Did I touch a nerve?

I am totally open to the idea that god is real I just don’t believe any religions are real

I am concerned about too much Bible thumping. If the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the real God, then why did Abraham and his nephew Lot remain in spiritual bondage to Sodom in the manner of fruit that never ripened or an unfulfilled testament or promise of what kings and prophets desired to see but did not see?

Some people preach religion and practice vice, and then there's a devil, but no true God can come into being or exist in that religion.

Those hypocrites only preach right what gains them money and costs us money, and what they preach as so rightful to themselves they deny to us as sinful in the name of their religion.

If there is a God, then (by definition) God is good and right, but when that which is good and right fails to exist, then we are left without God.

Everything works for good.

Not this one. Why you ashamed of your denomination of Christianity? Perhaps you would have to justify stupid shit and your embarrassed or you have to explain why you don’t like denominations

I'm pretty sure I never denied the relationship between socialism and atheism. It's pretty much spelled out in my signature line below every post I make.

But just so there is no confusion on the matter, I believe that atheism and socialism go hand in hand and are existential threats to freedom and liberty.

"He causes to be."

That would make sense if God said, "I am that I am"...

"I am that I am" is a misleading translation of the Hebrew phrase ehyeh asher ehyeh in Exodus 3:14.

The Hebrew word ehyeh (HYH/hayah) contains a Hebrew verb related to hawah (HWH) in the Divine Name Jehovah (YHWH). Both HYH (hayah) in ehyeh and HWH (hawah) in YHWH/Jehovah mean "to be" in Hebrew - just a slight difference in connotation. From NW ref. footnote on Exodus 3

Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY

This is an authorized Web site of Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is a research tool for publications in various languages produced by Jehovah’s Witnesses.

wol.jw.org

"“I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.” Heb., אֶהְיֶֽה אֲשֶֽׁר אֶהְיֶֽה (ʼEh·yehʹ ʼAsherʹ ʼEh·yehʹ), God’s own self-designation; Leeser, “I WILL BE THAT I WILL BE”; Rotherham, “I Will Become whatsoever I please.” Gr., E·goʹ ei·mi ho on, “I am The Being,” or, “I am The Existing One”; Lat., eʹgo sum qui sum, “I am Who I am.” ʼEh·yehʹ comes from the Heb. verb ha·yahʹ, “become; prove to be.” Here ʼEh·yehʹ is in the imperfect state, first person sing., meaning “I shall become”; or, “I shall prove to be.” The reference here is not to God’s self-existence but to what he has in mind to become toward others. Compare Ge 2:4 ftn, “Jehovah,” where the kindred, but different, Heb. verb ha·wahʹ appears in the divine name."

Please note that both hawah and hayah are verbs - all verbs require action. Jehovah is not simply stating that He exists - the action involves causing things to exist.

Note also that both hawah in the Divine Name Jehovah and hayah in ehyeh (Ex.3:14) are in the Hebrew imperfect verb state = action in progress not yet complete. Therefore Jehovah continues to cause things to be - as in the Creator.

The context of Exodus 3:14 reveals an aspect of ehyeh, namely: Jehovah is the fulfiller of promises. Specifically in this context, fulfilling the promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as to the promised land. This is also a definition of the Divine Name Jehovah which is also in the context of Exodus 3:14 (in the Hebrew and correct English translations).

The quote is I ams what I ams im Popeyes the sailor man

[Meriweather]

what would people say about me at my funeral? They’d say how good I was to dogs. Especially my own. But then I deer hunt. Deer are just as lovable as dogs yet I hunt and eat them.

I have purposely set up my backyard to attract all kinds of birds (including quail and turkeys) and squirrels. These critters, of course, attract cats. The cats know when I knock on the window, they have about fifteen seconds to get back up and over the fence before I direct a spray of water at them (with no intention of getting them wet, just getting my point of 'not welcome' across). It appears no matter how much we want to love all things great and small, there are parameters than cannot be overcome.

I am having a wonderful Sunday, and what a fine end-of-the-week for you to anticipate! Teens are great fun.
