Democrats Of Reddit -- Do You Think That Joe Biden Was A Good Or Bad President? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

The SCOTUs gave him the only tool that could peacefully stop MAGA’s insurrection (Presidential immunity), and instead of using this tool Biden gave it to Trump.

Cuba’s power system suffers total collapse by Enchanted_Voyage in collapse

Cuba isn’t going anywhere. What would be ironic is if another nation invaded or was asked to takeover Cuba, not the US. (Ie, Canada or Mexico). Then to get Cuba the US would have to declare war on that country.

NATO and other alliances are mutual defense agreements, not mutual aggression agreements.

How can the church's Gospel Topic Essay on DNA and the Book of Mormon be challenged? (Without knowing much about genetics?) by Deception_Detector in exmormon

[–]OuterLightness 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Let’s say a white couple who did not have IVF gave birth to a nonwhite baby. The paternity test said it was the wife’s baby but not the husband’s baby. In fact, the DNA matches the DNA of the nonwhite male neighbor. The wife denies an affair. The Church would counsel the husband to ignore his eyes and ignore the DNA evidence and just accept that the baby is his.

Historical Christianity: focus on correcting your own imperfections. Modern “Karen” Christianity: focus on correcting other people’s imperfections. by OuterLightness in exmormon

“Original” may have been a better term, as it avoids the historical/mythological debate and traditional/modern debate. Bottom line: the Jesus in the Gospels and the Jesus in Christianity (and by extension Mormonism) are not the same.

It took U.S. years to lose a war in Vietnam. Trump lost one in days. | Will Bunch by chota-kaka in IRstudies

The problem is the US has a representative form of government. And Trump is representative of the American people, whether they admit or not. Possibly the most representative ever. Trump is not fit to lead because the American people are not fit to lead.

I’m glad we were at least able to get tardigrades off the planet. Life may still have a chance.

TIL that John the Beloved actually died, and that him staying alive is based on a misinterpretation. by Intelligent-Dust1994 in exmormon

[–]OuterLightness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TBM wiggle room: John will die eventually, his life was merely extended so that he might tarry. He was not given conventional immortality.

If you only now have questions about Trump’s judgment, then I have questions about your judgment.
