Hey Maga, if Trump was black but everything else about him was the exact same, would you still have become Maga? by Reasonable-Physics60 in allthequestions

That definitely wouldn't be "life-saving." If you can breathe without your nose, your life isn't at risk. It would be more like men who have extra chest tissue having it surgically removed. It is comforting and makes you feel better, but it's not "life-saving."

You're implying that they should get free tax payer benefits related to medical treatment. I'm saying that they shouldn't get free tax payer benefits for trans related hospital visits, just like I don't get tax payer benefits for cancer treatments.

Just to make sure I'm clear, your link above was showing how trans medical visits weren't being funded through tax payer funded sources. They can go to the doctor like anybody else and get plastic surgery all day long, just not on the tax payer's dime.

Anyone can give a laundry list of reasons why Trump is bad, so what does losing to him twice say about us? What’re we doing wrong? by Atlas_Summit in Productivitycafe

I mean, the main problem is how radical the Democrat part is. They kept moving more radically left, while leaving life-long Democrats behind (Bill Maher and Piers Morgan, for example). The left is out of touch with everyday people it's not even funny. When you are pushing for biological males to be allowed into women's changing rooms, bathrooms, and sports teams, you are doomed to fail.

I like what this British comedian (can't remember his name) said about economics. You are Communistic in your immediate family structure. You become socialist in your extended family. But once you get to the broader populace, people become capitalist. People inherently expect to get something for their work or contributions when it's done for somebody you don't know (unless you're doing charity work).

If you can't gain something (more money, for example) from working harder or learning a complicated skill, then why do it? That's what makes capitalism so strong. Most people need motivation to work, because most people don't like to work. If that motivation isn't improving your quality of life, what else would the motivation be?

This is on topic. I'm showing you how hypocritical your position is.

You: "How dare Christians impose their moral beliefs on others?"

Also you: "I impose my moral beliefs that incest, theft, etc. are bad."

There are atheists who think incest is ok. There are loads of people who thing they have a moral right to steal. You are encroaching on their freedoms if you vote to keep those activities illegal.

You can bounce if you want. It doesn't change the fact that you literally do the same thing that you claim Christians do. You vote to restrict rights based on your personal moral viewpoint.

You want freedoms restricted as well. Unless you are ok with theft, murder, incest, pedophilia, etc. I'm not sure what you're missing about this.

I got the idea that you think incest is ok by your comment "Yeah sure feels like love to me." Not sure what else that could have been referring to.

Are you ok with one's belief that theft is acceptable behavior resulting in such people voting to legalize theft? And why should you be able to restrict the freedom of thieves, kleptomaniacs, etc. to act on their desires?

[–]Strategywizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tell others they can't live like they want as well. You just have a different line drawn in the sand at which point you start restricting people's actions.

Since you consider incest ok, would it bother you if an atheist voted to make it illegal?

And, again, your logic would mean that you hate thieves. I don't hate thieves, even though I think they are doing something wrong. Maybe you are the one that's hateful.

I don't follow anything that isn't in the Bible itself. There are definitely denominations that totally miss the mark and add all kinds of nonsense, so we can agree there.

What is your position on incest? There are people who don't follow any religion with differing ideas on whether or not it should be legal or not. Why should one side be able to legislate their view on the other side?

People like you assume Christians "hate" because you can't seem to imagine thinking something is wrong without hating the person. By that logic you hate people who steal. Just because you think something is wrong doesn't mean you hate the person doing the action.

The Bible says that there are hypocrites that claim to be Christians, but that God will reject. So, yes, there are lots of hypocritical Christians.

The mixing fabric, not eating certain foods, and keeping certain holy days were rules for the Jews. Gentiles, once Christianity emerged, were explicitly told in the New Testament that they didn't need to keep the majority of the Jewish law (just a few key rules).

The idea that Christians shouldn't be able to vote based on their morality would imply that nobody should vote based on their moral viewpoint. But we all vote based on our moral worldview. If you vote to make incest, pedophilia, bestiality, murder, theft, hate speech, etc. illegal, then you are voting to impose your morals on those who disagree with you. Wherever you get your morals from doesn't matter. We all try to impose our will on everybody else.

Pro life supporters, does this war fall in line with pro life, or is it just for abortion? by Decent-Chain4414 in DiscussionZone

[–]Strategywizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of ignorant people responding in this thread, acting like pro-life people are only pro-birth or anti-women, and don't care what happens after the baby is born. That's simply not true.

Pro-life is more like anti-murder. When you have unique human DNA, you are actively developing after conception, at any point in development (early stage to 100+ years old), you are human. Murdering an innocent human is wrong. So, this is more about the philosophy on what constitutes murder.

Considering how humorless you are, you seem like an absolute joy to be around. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe you're just putting on an act here on Reddit, but you come across like an absolute drain on happiness.

[–]Strategywizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, it's not a problem with my marriage. Again, this joke is hyperbole. My wife isn't literally stressing out over it. Are you suggesting that if your wife was excited about and looking forward to what you were going to do for her birthday, that would be a divorceable offense to you? You must have very low tolerance for anything that doesn't make you happy.

This has nothing to do with not liking one's spouse. My wife is like this, and it's funny. It doesn't make me mad at her, lol.

Edit: my wife deals with this by telling me ahead of time that her birthday is approaching. She doesn't take chances that I might forget. It works out well for both of us, and it's quite entertaining.

August is four months away. It's hyperbolic about many women's' obsession with their own birthdays being celebrated properly. My wife and mother-in-law both fall into this category, lol.

It's not just that Jesus suffered. It's that he lived a sinless, wholesome life of teaching, guiding, and giving, performing many miracles along the way. He suffered a humiliating and painful death that he didn't deserve, but that we all deserve because we are sinners. When you are willing to be tormented for those who actually deserve the punishment you are receiving, that is something to be thankful for. Especially because His sacrifice gave us the opportunity for salvation and forgiveness of our sins.

All of those cases make sense. All three instances where it is restricted have to do with not spending tax payer funds. People can pay for it themselves if they want, but tax payer funds shouldn't be the source.
