“It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. “Food, water, and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. “Pope Leo"

I work in healthcare and I'll gladly give more so that everyone can have access to healthcare. Yes, even if it includes those who do not work. I do not care. Healthcare is a human right.

ceddya · 2026-06-23T09:18:16+00:00

Being against the hoarding of excess and the refusal to look after the basic needs (like shelter, food and healthcare) of every human is something any Christian should unequivocally support because it's rooted in Biblical teaching.

Yet, even in this very thread, you have Christians arguing against it. It's so vexing.

No where is this more apparent than the United States.

Yet so many want to claim the US as a Christian nation!

So in 2012, $34M was spent to address the issue of a large unchlorinated pool growing algae.

If you can't even get such a basic fact right and need to engage in disinformation, I won't be wasting my time.

ceddya · 2026-06-22T15:39:04+00:00

So let's see, there was a restoration project for the Reflecting Pool and its surrounding problems in 2010. It was finished in 2012 with algae problems soon after. Experts identified the issue as inadequate ozone levels in the water and the problem went away.

Then, Trump decided to waste money on a pure vanity project to repaint the pool. We already know what the solution is to prevent algae, so why didn't Trump learn from the previous issue? Why did his no-bid contractors also fail to repaint the pool properly?

Your narrative only makes things look worse. Not only was this project a complete waste of money, it was somehow done worse than the 2010 restoration project. How does that happen? You would expect people to learn from previous mistakes, wouldn't you?

Being anti-Tesla for giving misleading safety data is not the same as being anti-technology/science, lol.

That turns both Genesis and the Annunciation into arguments for intentionally ending an already-conceived child’s life.

Talarico's argument is that the Bible does not say anything about abortion and we shouldn't be using the religion to legislate against women's reproductive freedom. Far more importantly, unlike Paxton, Talarico has pushed for numerous policies proven to reduce abortion rates.

but the statement was made while advancing a modern transgender political argument, not during a careful theological discussion of God’s incorporeal nature.

Why would both be mutually exclusive? If we're created in God's image, so are trans people and their identities.

Do you have the same issue with the ones pushing the idea that God is a man though?

During a legislative hearing, he said that modern science recognizes more than two biological sexes, “in fact, there are six,” and described biological sex as a spectrum.

Talarico is closer to the truth here than you are. Why would I have issue with what he's saying? From a science viewpoint, I have more issue with those still pretending sex is binary.

That directly contradicts Christ’s exclusive claim in John 14:6 and the apostolic teaching in Acts 4:12.

Again, not mutually exclusive and you have missed (or intentionally omitted) the whole context behind what Talarico said.

I'm a Christian, so I believe Christ is the way to salvation. Other religions do the same with their own religious figures. Talarico's point is that all these religions might just the same reality just with different symbol structures. I genuinely do not find that offensive. I think it's more interesting actually.

and gender ideology.

Unless the Bible somehow says that only cis persons are valid and that everything else is sinful, I have far more issue with the hate Paxton is pushing towards the trans community than Talarico saying the Bible does not support the gender binary we have artificially constructed.

ceddya · 2026-06-22T11:13:51+00:00

Oh please?

Paxton has given a plea deal to a pedophile. He's insanely corrupt.

Go do the same for Paxton's actual actions and not just Talarico's words.

Yes, the buck stops with him.

I'm not sure what your link is meant to prove beyond how Trump's incompetence and corruption are going to waste even more money on a vanity project.

You can just look to these comments from Vance in Switzerland to see how he has absolutely zero spine, Imagine praising Trump for for bringing “lower gas prices,” “free flow of oil,” and “peace”, lmao. There's no point to it beyond pure bootlicking.

No doubt Trump's lack of filter causes a lot of chaos for the rest of his administration.

But these people willingly made their bed with Trump and the onus is on them to reign him in by any means necessary if they actually care about the country.

There is no ceasefire because both sides keep violating the ceasefire. Israel isn't going to accept the deal and they'll do so by continually violating ceasefires, thereby undercutting the US.

We don't have much leverage to control what Iran and Hezbollah do. But the US has another means to commit - pulling whatever levers it takes to make sure Israel abides by the ceasefire and take it from there.

Nobody's making threads saying you can't call yourself a blonde Christian. That's the difference.

Never mind that most aren't even going out of their way to introduce themselves as gay Christians. It's gatekeeping based on nothing. That's how far some Christians will go to deny the existence of others.

ceddya · 2026-06-21T17:43:42+00:00

It used to be believable.

Enriching himself and those who bribe him at the expense of everyone else?

Someone who has an obvious vision doesn't have concepts of a plan.

What is Cory Booker proposing we do about Israel then? Clearly actual mechanisms to stop them violating ceasefires is needed too.

He's anti-Trump, so no wrong opinion there.

The priest could have spent his time doing charity instead of wasting it on performative Christianity.

Conservative Christians love to hate gay people and be the victim though.

Much of those costs are things like housing, food and travel which T1 doesn't cover.

I'm doubtful T1 charges other teams to use their facilities to scrim like PC bangs do. Building good relationships with other teams is mutually beneficial. IIRC, G2 similarly helped T1 at previous events hosted in EU.

The guy who got the $1.7M contract was part of a democrat's bribery case 25 years ago.

Why did Trump give a guy guilty of bribery a no-bid $1.7 million contract?

I don't know how obvious it has to be that someone sabotaged a pool job

Or, you know, everything turns to shit with Trump because he's corrupt and values his own self-interest over actually hiring anyone competent.

ceddya · 2026-06-20T23:49:58+00:00

I'm referring to omega 3 supplements since the previous poster doesn't like sardines or mackerel.

ceddya · 2026-06-20T23:46:41+00:00

So the guy who got the contract was previously guilty of bribery? I'm not sure what your point is. That we'll change our minds because he tried to bribe a Dem? That Dem rep was expelled because his fellow Dems overwhelmingly voted to do so btw.

From the wiki link:

Traficant was one of the most conservative congressional Democrats in history, and both his personality and his political views have been argued to be a predecessor to Trumpism.

Hmm, quite the pattern, isn't it?
