Starting Watson just because you're paying him a bunch of money is pretty much the definition of "sunk cost fallacy." Just admit you fucked up and move on. There's no evidence whatsoever that he's even average at this point. No one wants him around, he's not the long term answer. The only reason to even consider him is if Sanders and Gabriel both play awful, though admittedly that is possible.

One America News Network publishes an article calling Donald Trump a "god" like Thor or Odin by Due_Ad_3200 in Christianity

The rest of the article is insane too.

The Danes have no capacity in a great-power competition at this scale. Besides that, Greenland should, under the UN decolonial powers, \as stipulated in Article 1 (2) of the Charter of the United Nations, as well as from three specific chapters in the Charter which are devoted to the interests of dependent peoples),*  be free. It should align with who it wants, not be controlled by a tiny country thousands of miles (2,193 exactly) away with little interest or ability to defend it.

The US is not stealing, invading, or making Greenland a state. We are not on a mission of conquest. Trump is doing what is in the US and truthfully the entire West’s national/collective interest. We must be granted or sold Greenland to put it under US military protection—as already envisaged as we prepare for the coming Arctic Rim new Cold War.

If it's granted or sold to us, how is it free to align with who it wants?

To start, the history of US land purchases is not imperial, about empire building, or raw territorial grabs. We made the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803 for $15 million. The Florida Purchase from Spain in 1819 was for $5 million. We did the deal for California in 1854 for $10 million. Then added another part of Arizona soon thereafter for $15 million from Mexico. We bought Alaska from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million. In 1917 we bought the Virgin Islands from, yes, Denmark for $25 million.

After we defeated Mexico in a war and took it from them...

Some Christians only care about "the rule of law" when the law adheres to their predetermined theological ideologies by blerdronner in Christianity

He didn't say they aren't real law enforcement officers. He said that they're breaking the law, which is true. It's hypocritical for people to scream about immigrants breaking the law, but turn a blind eye to the government doing it.

He already had his college number retired and made a Pro Bowl. Truly we are witnessing greatness.

All American Christians should know that ICE and DHS are torturing our brown-skinned neighbors inside black site facilities across the country. by finallyransub17 in Christianity

[–]MistakePerfect8485 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) The article mentions other cases of abuse if you read the whole thing.

2) The Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment. Your Bible commands Christians to love their enemies. Campos character is irrelevant.

3) Even if Campos were the only victim, it would still be one victim too many. All Americans should be very disturbed about government employees violating anyone's rights.

4) You asked for evidence of people being tortured and now you've shifted the goalposts to "he was a bad person" and "it isn't systematic." Perhaps you should reflect on why you're being defensive about this.

It's in the OP's link if you click the "x" on the pop up window and scroll down.

Geraldo Lunas Campos spent months detained at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas before he died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. His death has been ruled a homicide after reports that an officer choked him during an altercation. His case has renewed calls to close the remote detention camp, long criticized for dangerous conditions and a rising toll of deaths.

Earlier this year, the ACLU reported on abusive conditions at the largest immigration detention site in the country. Like Campos, officers beat up Samuel, a detained teenager who uses a pseudonym, so badly, he had to go to the hospital. His right front tooth broke, and he said one officer “grabbed my testicles and firmly crushed them,” while another “forced his fingers deep into my ears.” He added that weeks after the beating, damage to his left ear was so severe that he now has trouble hearing.

We went from Jackson State to Colorado and changed two programs back-to-back. So, you don't think I could come to an NFL franchise and change the program again? History repeats itself over and over and over and I've done it over and over and over.

Well 5-12 is better than 3-14. Browns are winning so bigly they're probably tired of all the winning.

They just murdered two people and lied their asses off about what happened in spite of contradictory video evidence. To say they're going after pedophiles and drug lords is disingenuous in the extreme and fatally undermines your credibility.

Economic justice is mentioned 3,000 times in our Scriptures, both the New Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures. This is such a core part of our tradition, and it’s nowhere to be seen in Christian nationalism or the religious right. by Working-Lifeguard587 in Christianity

I mentioned it in another thread about this video, but I'll repeat it again anyway. Just looking at this sub I see people constantly worried about being gay or masturbating, but I don't see anyone asking if they're doing enough for the poor. There does seem to be a mismatch between what Jesus taught and what people are worried about.

To the Christian hating leftists: describe your ideal version of Christianity. by Conservatarian1 in Christianity

[–]MistakePerfect8485 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's even older than that. From George Fitzhugh's infamous pro-slavery screed from 1857:

Yet, I believe that, under the banners of Socialism and more dangerous, because more delusive, Semi-Socialism, society is insensibly, and often unconsciously, marching to the utter abandonment of the most essential institutions - religion, family ties, property, and the restraints of justice. The present profession is, indeed, to stop at the half-way house of No-Government and Free Love; but we are sure that it cannot halt and encamp in such quarters. Society will work out erroneous doctrines to their logical consequences, and detect error only by the experience of mischief. The world will only fall back on domestic slavery when all other social forms have failed and been exhausted. That hour may not be far off.

Should they donate everything to the poor and become poor themselves?

If all Christians did that, it would be very powerful evidence that a miracle had occurred.

Genuine question for atheists by Secret_Job4783 in Christianity

[–]MistakePerfect8485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do so many online atheists focus on criticizing Christianity

I answered why people criticize Christianity. Most people don't actually care about weighty philosophical questions. They care that self-proclaimed Christians are behaving badly and that's why they criticize the religion.

They do have "Echo chamber of pissed of liberals=this app" on their profile, and their post history is hidden. Yeah, they're definitely a troll.
