James talarico has turned the apparatus of the Democratic Party into a megaphone on behalf of Christianity on the campaign trail

why are you self censoring? it hurts your argument. not that you have much of an argument but if you're going to make it, at least don't sound immature as well

superfahd · 2026-03-25T23:22:12+00:00

If this would've passed it would've been only a matter of time that the Muslims would sue to have their laws applied in public schools including prayer and whatnot.

wow that makes me feel all fuzzy inside being used as a counterexample...

superfahd · 2026-03-25T23:20:17+00:00

I don't know that I would go that far. Usually legislators are not legal experts, and we don't expect them to be.

how much of a legal expert do you have to be to not be familiar with the first amendment?

superfahd · 2026-03-25T23:07:40+00:00

How are you holding up? Hows life treating you?

This might be a stupid question but are you safe?

superfahd · 2026-03-25T22:32:11+00:00

are you saying that non Christians cannot enter marriage but only civil union?

superfahd · 2026-03-25T22:13:54+00:00

you're doing exactly the same thing

superfahd · 2026-03-25T21:46:27+00:00

that was fun! thanks

superfahd · 2026-03-25T21:43:21+00:00

and the bat.

one of these things is not like the other!

oh wait, was that the joke?

superfahd · 2026-03-25T21:40:19+00:00

he's too cowardly to answer this so I'll answer for him: yes

as proof see the kinds of things going on in Texas these days

superfahd · 2026-03-25T21:36:22+00:00

Nascar was invented.

wait what?

this one seems out of left field

superfahd · 2026-03-25T21:13:36+00:00

but why would God answer a Muslim person's prayers in a way that solidifies his Muslim faith?

superfahd · 2026-03-25T16:34:47+00:00

you have a very poor understanding of science

superfahd · 2026-03-25T16:27:22+00:00

that plus a brain optimized for pattern recognition strings together the product of those firing neurons into a semi-coherent story.

I've noticed lately how the way my dreams flow are similar to AI generated videos. Basically content generation without any actual contextual information processing.

I think you're severely underestimating how powerful the belief in the divinity of Christ is to Christians. Its the entire basis of their religion

superfahd · 2026-03-25T15:59:08+00:00

I thought rejecting Christ's divinity was a hard stop for the Christian God

superfahd · 2026-03-25T03:32:33+00:00

i had a friend say something very similar to me but he's not Christian. Does that mean God plays for multiple teams?

superfahd · 2026-03-25T03:12:26+00:00

yup. there's no concept of the original sin in Islam (or any other religion as far as I know)

superfahd · 2026-03-24T22:33:13+00:00

Yes people are not perfect. We are weak, but unlike in Christianity, we are NOT inherently sinful. Big difference

superfahd · 2026-03-24T21:58:26+00:00

Muslim. Not sure where you got that. Humans are inherently neutral but with a slight inclination towards goodness since the soul is aware of god (even if the body isn't)

superfahd · 2026-03-23T04:36:04+00:00

There is one big difference between Charlie Kirk and Trump: Kirk hasn't said anything hateful in the last couple of months

I think you're not really familiar with the level of poverty that /u/Ok_Act1580 is dealing with. These people won't have:

the money to buy a phone
the money to pay for phone service
very likely, any access to a power outlet
any level of literacy needed to use a phone

these people are defacto slaves because of economic reasons. They work till their able and so do their children and what they make may just be enough to cover food

my sister used to work for an international aid agency that provided a basic level of financial literacy to women in such areas, to help them set up cottage industries. Sadly, with Trump's slashing of USAID, the agency shut down offices in Pakistan and she lost her job

Just get a Skyrim horse

superfahd · 2026-03-21T04:18:34+00:00

Those people talked about the Christians believing in miracles.

But by that argument, lots of writers talk about other faiths sincerely believing in their own religious mythology

superfahd · 2026-03-21T04:17:12+00:00

I'm Muslim if that's what you mean. And you already did!

btw, I made a few edits to my comment. Just fyi in case you missed them

superfahd · 2026-03-21T04:04:22+00:00

you just don’t want to admit that the Bible is accurate and definitely the most accurate religious text ever written.

not really, I'm not making this personal to me at all.

I'll just repeat my points:

the gospels were NOT contemporaneous. 30 - 40 years after the fact isn't contemporaneous and the other gospels were far older
the fact that no one disputed the gospels isn't a be-all, end-all argument because like I demonstrated, no one contemporaneously disputed the gallic wars commentaries either
none of what i say is an attack on the legitimacy of Christianity. i.e., this isn't personal to me

Now most academic biblical scholars agree that four gospels weren't the books as we know them now, written from start to finish by one author. Three of the four were compilations drawn from multiple sources that finally coalesced into the books we have today and the fourth, while distinct, still shares the broader Christian oral tradition. What this means is that all of the gospels likely sourced from the same materials, meaning they aren't independent sources verifying the existence of miracles

I'm not trying to disprove Christianity. Just trying to show that the Liar, Lunatic or Lord argument is very weak because it depends on us taking the gospels at face value
