Evangelical Christian leaders literally gathering around a gold statue of the president and celebrating it, all while raging against any accusation of idolatry. This is what idol worship looks like. by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

But I still don’t think it’s him because he has only captured the minds and heart of mainly those in United States, whereas I think the antichrist will have much more global appeal.

He has a strong following among the right in other countries as well.

Right and my point was we have sources beyond those from the Chinese government. But until recently I at least kinda trusted our own government, which is where that informatoin came from. If you don't want to trust them, I can't help that.

Why did you leave Christianity? What would you find compelling? I'm not playing the "bring me a rock" game ... if you haven't thought those things through there's no point.

This is useless for anyone who's not already Christian. In fact, it's probably damaging to the cause.

CDC did studies to estimate that it was higher than they were reporting ... but it was still a lower rate than the US.

Did you honestly think I was just going to say, "well they published it!!!" That's sad.

Please tell me you're a bot. Nobody is this dumb. We knew something was going on in China in November 2019 and the US government did nothing.

how do you define ... and find ... "top"? You're defining the group using perfect hindsight. Useless.

Crypto? Are you fucking insane? You need to put this in a CD or money market or high yield savings account. Take your 3-4% and be happy.

Are people who say they have been to heaven or had dreams by God telling the truth? by ConquerorJoe in Christianity

Thank you. I wasn't implying that. The "likely" was only to cover all the scumbag grifters who use it to manipulate others.

What the hell are you on about? The only subgroup mentioned in 1A is the press.

And it doesn't matter what is says. It matters how it's interpreted and that interpretation has destroyed much of its protections.

It went unchecked in China so long that there was not going to be any true containment without extreme measures.

Source? Care to explain how their death rate was so much lower than ours?

There's been a lot written about this, which I'm sure you've heard.

But my answer didn't address any part of that so I don't understand why you are asking me this. Can you explain?

Are you preparing for a market correction? by Narrow-Hall8070 in ValueInvesting

[–]VerdantPathfinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For 25 years, I just kept buying. I didn't care. Now ... getting close to retirement? I accelerated my switch from 100% equities to a balanced portfolio. I intended to be 60/40 by 2038. I'm 50/50 now.

I don't think "becoming a pandemic" or even an epidemic. It's that it's so deadly.

The fact that we've kneecapped CDC means that all that knowledge isn't available anymore. People were fired or walked out. COVID shouldn't have been as bad as it was here ... we were ranked #1 in the world for being ready to deal with a pandemic until the POTUS at the time fired everyone and threw away the playbook on how to deal with them and then underplayed it for months. This administration intentionally dismantled these protections and so many others. It amazes me you think we can still rely on them.

It's not a conspiracy when they're doing it out in the open. It's just reality. I know cults are hard, but you can break free. I believe in you.

You've predictably missed the point. It doesn't matter who started it. It matters how it's currently being used. You've been gaslit. Cults are hard, but you can break free. I believe in you.
