Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other system in the history of the world.

@HealthRanger @chrisr53969 Yeah, the word dinosaur was made up in the 1800’s so they are probably a made up propaganda term also, right?

"Judeo-Christian" is a made up propaganda term. America wasn't founded on it at all.

@JoanneMason11 Got two new granddaughters the last week of January. They are the best.

We'll welcome a new boy grandlittle in Novermber, and we're over the moon with joy! Have more babies, folks, the world must be peopled!

Guys… this is just dumb. It does the opposite of prove his point: it actually lets us reaffirm that he is, indeed, as stupid as we all knew he was. Words show up after the ideas, not before. It’s kind of how history works. The Founders didn’t need the modern label of Judeo-Christian because they simply talked natural law, providence, virtue, and rights from the Creator. The Bible was all over their thinking. Guess who has a pretty big part in the Bible? Also, his stupid Ngram chart? It just shows when the fancy hyphen got popular in books. That doesn’t mean the Christian and Jewish roots weren’t there from day one (and any suggestion otherwise is pretty idiotic coming from a supposed “Christian”). It would be the same as graphing “globalization” and claiming global trade didn’t exist before the 1950s. Stupid. This dude has the critical thinking skills of an acorn.

@TheStaad Ahhh, we have a wannabe Candace Owens & Carrie Prejean Boller on our hands here. Buckle up,buttercup. If you and your hero’s had a brain, you would have known Trump has always been a shyster.

If you’re MAGA and you have a problem with those of us who no longer support Trump because he has reneged on his promises and has put Israel first, then YOU are the one with TDS, not us There is more deranged than blindly pledging allegiance to a psychopath, and nothing more rational than sticking to sound principles and holding politicians who fail to do so accountable

@TheCarmineOne @EliteScrub14 @chicagobulls So, you are an atheist who has never read the Bible, huh?

@EliteScrub14 @chicagobulls The Christian Bible is against interracial marriage

@RedditCFB @3YearLetterman Is this true?

@Mattinthemix @itmatters2me3 @JuiceTheGator Why would I move to Israel? I’m a southern, redneck, Baptist. Not a Jew.

@markboone219 @itmatters2me3 @JuiceTheGator Move to Israel.

There are 3 people I'll vote for in 2028: Rand Paul Thomas Massie Ron DeSantis

@NigSplaining @DGPsalm3 @TrevorSheatz @RelatablewABS You wrote all of that just to say no women will marry you, let alone date you? Much shorter ways to do that.

“meaningful redemption” is the same thing as whore entitlement to a husband now? 🤣 why wouldn’t she just be happy being saved and just focus on betrothing her female relatives who learn from her mistakes to husbands with their chastity intact? her genes would still be passed on through her relatives and she has all of the time in the world as a single woman with no husband or children for bible atudy. everybody wins: nobody has to marry a whore and she gets godly wisdom. what’s with the entitlement?

The backlash to @TrevorSheatz’s viral X post has been HUGE. Some people responded saying, "I can't believe you just called your wife a wh*re." He did not call his wife that. You called his wife that. You called another man's wife that. You called a new creation— someone redeemed by Christ, sanctified, made new, and washed clean— a wh*re. That is on you. Not her husband. The hyper patriarchy bros who call themselves Christians out there who just want to take any opportunity not only to denigrate women, but to denigrate the work of the Gospel… it's just insane. It's a very obvious tenet of Christianity that you have become a new creation. Somehow that’s now being treated like it’s controversial?

Capitalism creates poverty

There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent. For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern. The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her. The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself. Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future. This is how ideological takeover works. A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs. It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to. Then it moves inward. It alters how foundations are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred, tradition like danger, history like guilt. At that point, the civilization turns on itself. Its courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system. They are enforcing what now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them. And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased, the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left. The queen is gone. The colony is no longer itself. The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.

Capitalism REQUIRES poverty

@clarenzbazile @spectatorindex I’m with Iran on this one. Keep the bombs raining down on them. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

@spectatorindex Trump wants a smooth exit, but Iran has locked the door.

BREAKING: Iran contradicts Trump and says it did not ask for a pause in strikes, according to WSJ report.

@DannyWxo @MrTCHarris @jk_rowling @LudicrousMonica So, you are saying that she’s sane? This isn’t helping your argument.

@MrTCHarris @jk_rowling @LudicrousMonica Because.

Hey @jk_rowling The trailer for the new Harry Potter looks bloody marvellous. I cannot wait, and as it seems to me, neither can the rest of the world❤️🪄

@tribeandtrail @JonathanPSzeto @Vicar1973 Then why did Paul call himself a Jew? Acts 21:39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

There's nothing more stupid in the church today than evangelicals doing a play-acting "Seder Supper." First, we don't need to do a fake Passover. The church already has the Lord's Supper which is (among other things) the fulfillment of the old covenant Passover. Jesus gave us a meal. Why do something other than what he commanded? Why do another religious meal when Jesus already gave us one? The reason some evangelicals get interested is the Seder is that, having eviscerated the true sacraments of their meaning and efficacy, they go looking for substitutes. They have emptied the true sacraments (baptism and the Lord's Supper) of mystery, yet, being human, they still yearn for meaningful and mysterious rituals, so they either borrow from Jewish tradition (the Seder as a substitute for the Lord's Supper) or they create their own (such as the altar call). The answer to this longing for meaningful rituals should be satisfied by reclaiming and understanding what Jesus gave us. Doing a Seder is not a way to return to the church's roots; it is the church engaging in idolatrous syncretism, no matter how well intentioned. Second, most of the Seder is not actually rooted in Scripture. It's not the ritual described in Exodus 12 or later OT Scripture. Most of it comes from later extra-biblical traditions; indeed, most of it comes from rabbinic Judaism, and was established long after Christian faith and Judaism were clearly distinct and very different faiths. Even if those rabbinic traditions get infused with Christian symbolism, they are not "our" traditions and symbols. They comes from the Talmud, not the Bible. Christians have no more business doing a Seder than than they do keeping Ramadan or celebrating Kwanza. The church has her own meal, her own traditions, her own calendar, her own story. Why borrow from apostate Judaism? Why syncretize the Christian faith with a rival? I have argued elsewhere that one deep-seated reason dispensational evangelicals are attracted to modern Israel is because they have rejected Christendom but still long to have an earthy, embodied cultural manifestation of the faith. The same thing is happening here - having minimized the power of the Christian sacraments, these same evangelicals look to Judaism to provide what they (wrongly) think their own religion lacks. Third, for Christians to try to perform an old covenant Passover in any way is virtually blasphemous - and it's impossible anyway. Will the Seder meal only be for the circumcised per Exodus 12, and those who keep the cleanness laws of Leviticus? Where are are Levitical priests going to be found to administer the ritual? How does taking this pseudo-Passover meal outside of Jerusalem get justified in light of Deuteronomy 16? How will a lamb be sacrificed at the temple, per the old covenant requirement, since the temple was destroyed in 70AD? Will 2 year olds be welcome to eat the Seder since the Passover meal was for the whole household and obviously included young children? What about the shedding of blood after Jesus' death on the cross - on what basis could any Christian revert to an animal sacrifice when the final sacrifice has been offered? The Passover was part of a system that God ended in 70AD. To turn back to it (especially in rabbinic/Talmudic form) is no better and no different from turning to paganism (cf. Gal. 4:8-11). The whole point of the Last Supper is that Jesus has transformed the old covenant Passover into something better - the new covenant meal of the Lord's Supper. Doing a Seder is participating in a religious system that rejected Jesus as Messiah. There's more that could be said, but these reasons are fully sufficient for Christians to reject the Seder. Do the meal Jesus gave us. Do it every Lord's Day, like the apostles did. Read Calvin on the real (Spiritual) presence and embrace a theology of sacramental efficacy. Use good bread and real wine. We don't need weird non-Christian rituals to give the season meaning.

@tribeandtrail @JonathanPSzeto @Vicar1973 Was the Apostle Paul a Jew or a Christian?

@JonathanPSzeto @Vicar1973 You mean Christians?
