Ban Wattsthematter and everyone else for not reviving this thread.

No, because the longer the war drags on, the worse the publicity is for Israel, which is exactly what Hamas wants.

Some of these are just flat out confusing to me. I like to make fun of Trump just like anyone, but this just isn't humorous. Sometimes they're witty and therefore funny, but this one's just dumb.

(Or maybe I'm the one that's dumb because I don't get the joke, idk.)

Ban Diplomacy&Warfare for not aiding me in overthrowing democracy.

Goodness me. I suggest that this thread has seen enough. I don't think much good cam be achieved in further messaging on it, and it clearly doesn't belong here; if it's going to continue to exist let it do so on the politics subforum. Even then, I think it's well worn out its welcome. I motion to lo...

Ban Diplomacy&Warfare because I am overthrowing the democratic system of voting in favor of an autocratic system in which only I hold power.

I'd imagine a good few people do support capitalism for that reason. However, that doesn't mean that a majority of people do or that even if they do that that is their primary reason for doing so. Even then, if we assume that most people do support it for precisely that reason, that doesn't mean tha...

It seemed rather specifically pointed towards the Christians on this forum, or at least that is what was stated. True, my language was harsher than it should've been (especially with that last line). It just seemed rather irrational to be making the same baseless assumption with absolutely no reason...

most of the people here have shown the extent of their devotion to christianity stops when someone starts sniffing around their enormous 401k, and investment accounts. People talking about capitalism being the system Jesus wouldve preferred, yes im sure jesus would be spending his time hanging arou...

You're all stark raving mad. Maybe if you put more thought and effort into making things better and helping people here in the real world, and less time participating in your cult and telling each other how much you love the invisible sky daddy, humanity would have a chance. You're making a lot of ...

I think it's not so much a matter of not being involved in politics as it us recognizing the sovereignty of God. In Church, the sermon each Sunday should not be focused on the upcoming election, not because it isn't important, but because it is far more important for Christians to know how the Bible...

Uh oh, sweetandcool. Somebody might get offended that you quoted the Bible because he doesn't like it and he told you not to. How dare you express your views on what the Bible says about the economy by quoting the Bible about the economy!

No, Christ was not a socialist. He wanted us to care for fellow man, not have the government to take our money and have the government care for those the government wants to care for. Consider 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly o...

a) The Bible is best (and only) read and understood in context. It is a book. Not a thing to cut and paste to fit what we want. This is hard. I do not see those verses as having to do with either capitalism or socialism. They have to do what what we should/get to be practically doing. I would add t...

Yes, I Am a Communist, and So Too Is Jesus -Pope Francis Not gonna lie I take what the pope says very lightly. The Bible is pretty clear that the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ, but the pope has stated things in direct opposition to that. There's a pretty good reason that there was a...

I don't care what political or economic system you use, if you get a community of people together who sincerely follow all the teachings of Christ, I want in. That said, I mean all the teachings of Christ. You can't have socialism but not love your neighbor as yourself, it just doesn't work. So sure...

Ban pengwinja for instituting democracy in what was clearly a monarchical system (I mean come on, we've got the king of the pirates, not their Prime Minister or something).

Ban Dip&War for mentioning the aforementioned accursed name.

I'm just refuting what Brainbomb said here: How is it possible that Biden can be senile, a moron, incoherent, and incompetant. And also capable of stealing an election, staging fake ballots, rigging entire states results, and also covering up for his sons crimes by hiding evidence that would surely ...

Agreed. The idea of being beholden to your party at all costs is ridiculous. Representatives should simply represent their constituents, it's their job.

That said, I was talking about Biden being a puppet of his party, of the politicians themselves, not of the people.
