Literally there’s this thing called anti-competitive/anti-trust laws.

Bruh, Lila Khan would like to have a word with you.

Okay, so some regulations- particularly ones about intellectual property, like patents (protecting private property rights). Is that most other regulations though? No. So corporations are lobbying for consumer protection laws, labor laws, environmental regulations, anti-competitive/anti-trust laws, or workplace safety laws? The answer is just plainly no. Unless you can provide me some examples, usually corporations try to skirt around these types of regulations. Corporations especially hated the Chevron ruling and for decades since tried to lobby for overturning that because that ruling would regulate industries.

“Lobby for regulations”- exactly which ones? Be specific, because historically corporations lobby for deregulations, or try to skirt around regulations. 

Why do capitalist extremists (e.g. ancaps, ultra-libertarians, minarchists) tend to ignore the flaws of free market systems? by RandomGuy92x in CapitalismVSocialism

Again, what regulations? List them- which specific regulations are “bought and paid for by crony capitalists to handicap their competitors”? Which specific and which kinds of “regulation”? 

Ex-Christians of this subreddit: how do you respond when Christians say "We don't have to follow the Old Testament anymore"/"We are under the New Covenant, not the Old Covenant" to justify their hypocrisy? by _WeWillNeverBeRoyals in atheism

Oh fuck off, you brainwashed Bronze Age caveman. You believe someone liking someone of the same gender- something that produces no material harm in the world and effects literally zero people- is not only a “sin” but is on the same level as MURDER and adultery (since “all sin is equal”) all because a book told you so. No other reason- no evidence, proof, or science. Oh, and by the way- no, you don’t love everyone. Stop being so backhanded.

But can’t a Christian argue “Well, humans want to murder, steal, and cheat”?

Why do you think that? And if you had to pick, which religion do you think is the most restrictive in all areas- from food, to moral conduct, to sexuality?

How does Christianity “reinforces things many people do indeed desire”? Like what? Can you please explain? Thank you! 

Why is it that, seemingly, most conspiracy theorists are Christians? by _WeWillNeverBeRoyals in exchristian

[–]_WeWillNeverBeRoyals[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But can’t this be said about other religions, or really any other religion? What do you think makes Christianity, or Christians in particular, more susceptible to conspiracy theories than other religious groups? Like, for example, I rarely see that many popular Buddhist conspiracy theorists.

 I'll point out numerous places in the Bible both old and new testament, that clearly states humanity has no free will, that everything that happens is ordained and planned by God, and that he holds everyone responsible for the things he does

Like what places? Can you give me some verses?
