@DeseretMonk @LDS_Dems I didn’t say that you brought up another party first, but you are for some reason pretending that random people acting that way is worse than the sitting president acting that way

@DigitalPastaFan @LDS_Dems No moron, if you could read past my post, that was LDS Dems who brought him up, because you freaks can't go 10 minutes without obsessing over what Trump did.
English
Hey @LDS_Dems, since you're adept at telling fellow Saints about the virtues about being a Democrat, you forgot to include "celebrating the deaths of your enemies" with elation and cosplay in that mix.
Ana Kasparian@AnaKasparian
@Schwarzwald77 Are you offended? Let me clarify: I’m elated that he’s dead. Overjoyed…. Just like he was elated at seeing countless dead children throughout Middle East.
English
@DeseretMonk @LDS_Dems You are the one comparing the president to random people
English
@DigitalPastaFan @LDS_Dems Because that's the only straw "Dem Saints" can grasp at, feeble as it is.
English
@DeseretMonk @LDS_Dems Why are we comparing the president of the United States to random schmucks on the internet?
English
@LDS_Dems Lol, deflective cope.
I already said what I said about Trump, you've got one instance of Trump, whereas a vast majority of Leftist accounts celebrate *every time* anyone on the right dies (Kirk, Limbaugh, Graham)

@IliadIndustries @TeeplesCY @PioneerPaperTrl Insulting why? Personal donations do not have the same effect nor targets as government aid
English
@TeeplesCY @PioneerPaperTrl “then cuts programs that feed them once they’re born.”
Pretty insulting to people who pay a full tithe and give Fast Offerings.
English
Definitely didn’t have clint tweeting that you’re unchristian and a poor Latter-day Saint if you don’t support welfare programs.

The reality is that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans fully embrace what the Church teaches, and it is dishonest to pretend otherwise. For example: One side fights for babies in the womb, then cuts programs that feed them once they’re born. Meanwhile American mothers die from pregnancy at the highest rate of any wealthy nation. The other side supports mothers and kids but denies any legal protection to the unborn. Both fall short. As the Church itself has stated, gospel principles can be found in more than one party. So when I vote, I ask two questions. Has this person demonstrated a willingness to live a moral and virtuous life? And can they negotiate with people who disagree to reach outcomes everyone can live together with? I will take a leader who seeks the common good and protects basic rights for all over one who chases absolute victory every time.

"Around these parts we pretend to love the LDS Church and sustain the Prophet while voting for the party which openly and eagerly violates everything the Church stands for. You should to."
@LDS_Dems is impossibly stupid. Full suicidal empathy, drank the koolaid of the Gospel of Niceness. His God is the approval of Babylon and nothing else.

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

@ShadowMosesFox @765Tet That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said
English
@DigitalPastaFan @765Tet people have been moral since long before Christianity came around, let's not attribute basic decency to a random book
English
I don't remember needing religion to know why you morally shouldn't stick your dick in a heap of smelly, diseased roadkill.
Rock Solid@ShitpostRock
The best logical fallacy to give an atheist when discussing morals is to ask them why it's morally wrong to have intercourse with roadkill It's dead it will not feel anything, nobody will know and there are no victims If you ask a Christian or Buddhist why it's morally wrong, they will tell you it's because the body retains inherent dignity as part of God's creation (or the sacred flow of life), and desecrating it violates divine/natural order, harms your soul/karma, and shows disrespect, even if no one feels it or knows An atheistic worldview of this question taken to its extreme, concludes that intercourse with roadkill is tantamount to masturbation and nothing more
English
@ShadowMosesFox @765Tet Whether or not Christianity is good or right, there are secular frameworks for an objective morality
English
@765Tet people seem to forget that morals, including those found in the bible, are entirely based on feelings, so "it doesn't feel right to me" is an entirely fair response to this question lmao
English
English
@DigitalPastaFan @Shar_Rhar @TeeplesCY I’m against forcing other people to do what’s right, unless they are violating someone else’s rights. Then I feel an obligation to step in.
Otherwise, I believe people should be free to make their own choices.

@willennial @Shar_Rhar @TeeplesCY Is everything that the government does that you don’t explicitly agree to morally wrong?
English
@Shar_Rhar @TeeplesCY So we should take money from other people by force—using the instrument of the government—and give that to the poor.
This is your position.
This is essentially robbery, and it’s morally wrong. But that didn’t factor into Clint’s—or your—analysis.

@LeCinephiles And it’s really sad, Zack Snyder teased us in his cut, honestly that darkseid scene at the end is more interesting than anything that happened in the DCU for that last 3 years

Revised the recipe a bit for more, but smaller, pizzas. Needs a bit more work
Tastes good though!

Way too apologetic
I used to be like that to women, and now whenever women are like that to me I get the ick (I’m evil and shallow btw)

Hello, autistic man reading this post, do not do this under any circumstances. This is the social/dating equivalent of telling a girl you are going to kill her dog.

I think the real issue is that the most politically active segments of the population are benefitting themselves while robbing younger generations
I like welfare, but the most wealthy groups do not need nearly as much aid as we give them (SS and Medicare)
Dale Partridge@dalepartridge
There are two “easy buttons” that, downstream, fix hundreds of problems like this: 1. Deport 100 million foreigners. 2. Repeal the 19th Amendment. May the Lord give us courage to work toward these ends.
English
@DanielBringsIt @kylebeshears It’s not about “waving” around good works, it’s about doing what God asks of us. If one is unwilling to do that, what place do they have in heaven?
English
@DigitalPastaFan @kylebeshears ...proudly waving a temple recommend or whatever 'filthy rags' of our own 'righteousness'.

A Book of Mormon verse bothered me for years.
"It is by grace we are saved, after all we can do" (2 Nephi 25:23).
Then, I learned to read it in its context—textually, logically, linguistically.
My opinion of the verse changed. 👇
English
@DanielBringsIt @kylebeshears Again, you have never substantiated that “all we can do” requires perfection. One of the main points of the Atonement is that it allows us to repent and be cleansed through Christ
English
@DigitalPastaFan @kylebeshears ...the same thing as being made alive again through faith in Christ.
If course, BoM contradicts itself by also requiring 'all we can do', which means perfection, as we've covered ad nauseum.
But in reality, excluding bogus scripture, all that's needed is faith. How can this...
English
@DanielBringsIt @kylebeshears Do you have ANY evidence that the thief on the cross wasn’t baptized?
Christ is very explicit about baptism. We absolutely need it
English
@DigitalPastaFan @kylebeshears Both the BoM & Bible make clear that all that is required is faith in Jesus Christ (see 3rd Nephi).
You can make the argument baptism is also required, but since its undefined and a literal physical baptism isn't necessary (thief on the cross), baptism of the heart is...
English
@DanielBringsIt @kylebeshears God doesn’t tell me that those other books are “true”
How would you determine that the Bible is true if not from revelation?
English
@DigitalPastaFan @kylebeshears OK then. That standard would entail very little importance to any scripture. You might equally respect and follow any literature that might contain some vague truths. Narnia, Lord of the rings, even the Iliad might qualify in some way.
At that point, why even bother caring...
