See, they really do want to take the country back at least 100 years. Read the comments. It was never about the price of eggs.

@CnwlStudent @swd2 I’m an AOC fan, but if you think she’ll win - you’re nuts.

@swd2 And now you will get AOC. Much better than those three. We needed Trump to weaken American imperialism through foolishness.

Every day I'm reminded we could've had Hillary Clinton. We could've had Kamala Harris. We could've had a strong, competent female but too many of ya'll couldn't bring yourself to vote for a lady. So now we all live with this embarassment.

@swd2 @atrupar I’m still convinced if those elections were re-held right now, they would lose again. And, yes because they’re women.

@AlwaysWrightDM @johncwright2001 Obviously you’re just not as special as the first guy - even though you have the same last name.

@johncwright2001 How did he show himself? I've earnestly prayed with an open heart and received no response. I would love to hear your evidence to learn what I apparently did wrong. Also, what do you think the likelihood would be of whatever sign you received being purely coincidental?

I believe in God after 40 years of ardent lifelong atheism because I found evidence. Very much against my will and inclination, logic proved to me that the Christian worldview is coherent and atheism incoherent. So I experimentally prayed, demanding God show Himself He did

@kaitlancollins He’s the guy you socialize with once and then make up any excuse to never socialize with again.

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

@bestofstarwar Didn’t he just want his friends to lure him into a trap?

In ESB, Vader was obsessed with chasing the Falcon because he thought Luke was on it. He was sensing the Force, but who he was sensing was actually Leia.

@iamAtheistGirl Hey

hi

@td_nash I think because of how the game is now, Cy Young’s 511 wins. Baseball would have to go through lots of rule changes and strategy changes for anyone to even have a chance of that one.

Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game and 50 + ppg average for a season, Emmitt Smith’s rushing record and Michael Phelps Olympic gold medals record are a few. What’s the hardest record to break?🧐

@Irish_Cowboy88 @td_nash Patriots - Stanley Morgan. Dolphins - Paul Warfield. Ozzie Newsome was a TE. Beckham was better than Toomer for the Giants. I’d choose Bruce over Holt for the Rams. Eventually it will be Nacua.

🚨🏈 NFL Legends What do you think of this list of every teams’s best Wide Receiver? What would you change?

@AlTheBoss03 @td_nash George Sisler

First base only 👀 Name the greatest pure hitter to ever play the position. Who you got? You can’t say Lou Gehrig. Too easy.

@DisneyFoodBlog Always on property if I can. I like being inside the Disney World bubble.

Do you prefer to stay on Disney World property and get bonus perks or stay off-property and save money?

Has anyone else just assumed that Trump has a learning disability all this time?

This man, the cream of the crop in his field, has to say this because the U.S. President has said something so awful…again

@DarrigoMelanie @atrupar He won’t. He’ll die first.

He consistently talks like a person who will never personally experience the consequences or repercussions of his actions.

@VinnysCorner1 @td_nash The Washington Redskins

Who won the Super Bowl when you were 11 years old? I’ll start… Dallas Cowboys

@WesInman1 @iamAtheistGirl @JeremCH1V8 There are writings written by Caesar himself. There is independent documentation of him written during his lifetime. Coins were made with his image during his lifetime. Inscriptions were carved into stone mentioning him during his lifetime.

@ethansemmel @iamAtheistGirl @JeremCH1V8 Show me, I'm listening.

you keep posting this meme as some sort of gotcha? it’s almost like you don’t understand what the word atheist means it’s also not a great argument for a moral god 😬

@Heartland_Okie @kakigaijin @billiejoeguylnr @iamAtheistGirl A Song of Ice and Fire “The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.”

Job 38 38 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: 2 “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? 3 Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. 4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone— 7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels[a] shouted for joy? 8 “Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb, 9 when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness, 10 when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, 11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt’? 12 “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place, 13 that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? 14 The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. 15 The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken. 16 “Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? 17 Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness? 18 Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. 19 “What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? 20 Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings? 21 Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years! 22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, 23 which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle? 24 What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? 25 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, 26 to water a land where no one lives, an uninhabited desert, 27 to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass? 28 Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew? 29 From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens 30 when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen? 31 “Can you bind the chains[b] of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt? 32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons[c] or lead out the Bear[d] with its cubs? 33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God’s[e] dominion over the earth? 34 “Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? 35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’? 36 Who gives the ibis wisdom[f] or gives the rooster understanding?[g] 37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens 38 when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together? 39 “Do you hunt the prey for the lioness and satisfy the hunger of the lions 40 when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket? 41 Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?

“the bible is true because the bible says it’s true” is circular reasoning not evidence

@kakigaijin @billiejoeguylnr @Heartland_Okie @iamAtheistGirl K, I’ve wasted enough time with you.

@ethansemmel @billiejoeguylnr @Heartland_Okie @iamAtheistGirl Wait. So you believe everything came from nothing??? Lol

@WesInman1 @iamAtheistGirl @JeremCH1V8 The dangers of not knowing how to determine if something is true example #43 If you can’t prove Julius Caesar existed, then you need to learn how to demonstrate something is true.

Saying that God does not exist IS a claim. Now prove it. It is just as valid for me to demand proof from you. I say I "believe" God exists. All Christians say they "believe by faith". We never claim to be able to prove it, show where any Christian says that. At the same time, I can't prove Julius Caesar existed, but I certainly "believe" he did. It's called the "faith" of Christ, not the "fact".
