The atheist mindset in full effect. Have no way to know God does not exist yet claim he doesn't. Have no way to know what I have proven or not yet claim to? You produce Jimmy Hoffa and you will have some kind of unholy trinity thing going on. I gave hundreds of stats that left no doubt we are far far worse off that in the 40's and 50's in several threads and links to thousands. I have also mentioned some examples that were ignored fast as I typed them and not even the attempt to refute a single was attempted.You, personally, have done no such thing, so please don't try claiming credit. As for how I guessed you were American, let's just say there were one or two clues.
I not only pointed it out I volunteered that information several times. You are very very late with these typical claims and I have exhaustively covered the talking points historical ignorance constantly regurgitates. There were 1000 or more Christians that fought to end slavery than owned slaves. However even if they were remotely equal only a person with an agenda judges a teacher by the students who do not obey his lessons and ignores the ones who are obedient which I guess explains why it occurred here. I dare you to contend with me on military and especially American civil war history. Let's make it the sole issue if you feel qualified.Is that what you call "history"? How fantastically self-serving. Why do you not point out that almost every slave-owner was a Christian, too? But this is totally irrelevant: does your religious posturing not mean that you quite happily admit that mankind (including Christian mankind) traded slaves for a large part of history, and only relatively recently was slavery considered abhorrent?
I can't ever spell prostitution correctly nor much of anything else. You know what I meant.er, wut? Would you mind rephrasing that in English, please.
Only a raving lunatic would think we are not riddled with mistakes and moral deficiencies and have been since we existed and not a single mortal that has ever breathed is innocent. My God what part of truth will not be sacrificed to maintain the delusion. I just do not know what to say now. Apparently the most reliable reality is no longer common ground. History is one long sad tale of man's inhumanly towards other men.Speak for yourself. Though I think you're insulting the majority of the world's population with that statement.
Did you watch princess bride last night? Demonstrated does not necessarily imply to you."Demonstrated"? I don't think that word means what you think it means. You making an unevidenced assertion is no more "demonstrated" than anything anyone else has said.
The Washington monument has a Bible in it's corner stone. The capitol has scripture carved into it's walls. Most of the founding fathers were Christians and almost all were deists or theists. If you removed Christian writing from Washington architecture you would have to start over from scratch. Our first president suggested it was impossible to govern without the Bible and our greatest mentioned God in most speeches. The government was designed to operate without preference to religion not absence from it. For the love, Congress has had official chaplains and prayers for much of its history. The nation it self is 80% Christian. Our leaders swear in on Bible's in almost every single case. Who's history are you talking about?Grow up - "since secularism tainted the well"??? As an amateur historian, you're not a very good one. Unless you actually mean for the entire existence of the United States, as the constitution is a most explicitly secular document.
That is usually just about what the loser of every debate has ever said. If you do not mind get back to some semblance of facts and evidence and quit using sarcasm to claim how petty I am and then to top it off complain of hypocrisy. I see a debating punt very soon in your case. Many open up with a flourish, then when it is spent, it devolves into denial, then sarcasm, and finally surrender that is blamed on the incompetence of the other. I have posted far more than enough info in every category you brought up. I will debate any to a conclusion if you can even think of a category which you wish to let settle the issue. You choice but sarcasm is not a valid option.I don't think I've ever met anyone who managed to be so fractally wrong and so blindly arrogant to go with it.. though maybe those two things pretty much have to go together, as with a bit more honesty and humility, you might have a chance of realizing just how wrong you are.
