I've seen too many instances where people thought that God told them something, and He really didn't.

I’m not trying to flex on being a great Christian or anything but I have never in my life had to explain that the golden statue I was worshipping was technically not a calf so you can’t get mad at me
Pastor Mark Burns@pastormarkburns
Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump. Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America. It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed. Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world. I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly. I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible. Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence. And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful. God bless President Trump. God bless every Patriot. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸 #PresidentTrump #SpiritualDiplomats #TrumpDoral #TrumpStatueDedication #AmericaFirst #PatriotMovement #FaithFreedomPatriotism

I don't know how many more examples we need. It's not even hypocrisy, this is just what the religion is in the US. Belief-free.
There is exactly 1 doctrine in American

I used to WORK for TPUSA TPUSA Faith exists to equip Christians to live out biblical truth, fight cultural degeneracy, and be salt and light. But at AmFest 2024's after-party (hosted by James O'Keefe – the 'Make America Rave Again' blowout), this is what went down: a half-naked woman in a giant wine glass full of water, grinding sexually, splashing the crowd while booze flows everywhere – and she wraps our American flag around her like a cape. Straight-up Flag Code disrespect and total cultural compromise. This is the 'party of the decade' our youth are funneled into? Where's the biblical modesty? The respect for sacred symbols? The consistency on fighting degeneracy? Former insider here – this doesn't align with what TPUSA preaches. Video is real, unedited, from the event I was at. Judge for yourself. Thoughts, @TPUSA

Pls thank Mike Johnson and Donald Trump for the TSA lines this week.

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans.

WOW!!! JUST GOT A CALL FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE (TOP LEVEL) THAT DONALD TRUMP IS FURIOUS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD) HAVE COMPLETELY “HIJACKED” THE NEWS ON HIS “BIG SPEECH DAY” WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. FOX NEWS IS WALL-TO-WALL COVERAGE OF ME AND MY “ROAD SHOW.” MY RATINGS ARE THROUGH THE ROOF! MUCH BETTER THAN DOZY’S. PEOPLE ARE NOW SAYING THAT I SHOULD DELIVER THE SPEECH INSTEAD OF TRUMP’S “STATE OF THE SNOOZE.” I WOULD CRUSH IT. EVEN WITH DYSLEXIA. ESPECIALLY WITH DYSLEXIA! UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE, I DON’T NEED THE TELEPROMPTER (VERY ADVANCED SKILL, VERY RARE). I MEMORIZE. IT’S CALLED PREPARATION. LOOK IT UP, DON! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! —GOVERNOR GCN

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.
I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.
Impeach and remove Trump—now.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him. The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump. Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power. That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality. And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive. Congress needs to do its job. Now. Before it's too late.

A former 25 year career federal agent whose entire job was dealing with gun incidents involving federal agents details all the ways Ross messed up on CBS.
It didn’t air on the actual show tonight.
CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already

Charlie Kirk called for Biden’s execution and Republicans shrugged. But when people call Kirk an intolerant, anti-democratic racist peddling hate-mongering, they’re doxxed, harassed, threatened, and fired. So much for free speech. #FreeSpeech #Hypocrisy

Now the coverup is out in the open. This is far from over.
Everyone involved will have to answer for this. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, whole admin.
Protecting a bunch of rapists and pedophiles because they have money, power, and connections.
Bondi should resign tonight.

@BretWeinstein Will just any religion do the trick? Does the entire world need the same shared narrative or can there be a bunch of them?
English
Yes, you can have morality without religion. But can it last?
Religious morality is a product of evolution—a narrative/incentive structure that encodes subtle truths about the interaction of game theory and wellbeing. In effect, it uses mythology to solve multipolar traps. It’s readily possible for individuals to act in accordance with these moral restrictions, without the narrative or faith.
That said, a population that lacks faith in such a shared narrative is prone to being destroyed by cheaters who defect from the moral structure and individually profit by doing so. That profitable cheating behavior spreads and dooms the larger culture, if not the lineage itself.
So the real question is: can a population that does not reliably maintain a robust religious framework persist?
My best guess at the answer is:
It is technically possible to have stable morality in an atheistic culture, but it’s practically impossible.
Hitchslap@Hitchslap1
Serious question. Is it possible to have morality without religion?
English
@Carro1878 @aigkenham It’s the same move young earth creationists do when they make a distinction between micro-evolution and macro-evolution; it’s a distinction without a difference.
English
@graciousathiest @aigkenham I think he is trying to trivialise "scientific fact" by adding a word suggesting some of it is open to interpretation, things like Bialowieza, the forest in Europe where tree remains have been dated as being 12,000 years old, indisputable facts that contradict the bibles 6,000.
