Well, your hypo is dumb because it's unclear what you're even asking.

I used mint for a long time then went over the Simplifi after the mint train ended. It’s not perfect but I like it.

It’s a Christian’s duty to share the gospel. What the recipient does with it is their job.

This Pope is ate up with the Nirvana fallacy. Reminds me of a time when I had a discussion with a lefty and they claimed that humans beings are actually all inherently pretty good and evil is much more rare than we are led to believe. I laughed in his face.

There are a few true things happening all at once.

Trump is a massive troll and often goes way over the top with his rhetoric. It's part of the reason people loved him; he was willing to say the quiet parts out loud. It's also true, that sometimes, that attitude and defiant demeanor gets turned onto people that it shouldn't and he missteps. I really like some Trump policies and there are some that I don't, however, I pretty much abhor almost every mainstream leftist policy that the Dems put out there. I think it's reasonable to judge Trump on a case by case issue and one doesn't have to like or get hyperbolic about every single policy one way or the other. It's just part of the give and take with Trump that he's going to do/say some wild things that he shouldn't at times.

First off, Jesus transcends politics and it's a fool's errand to try to make him fit into a single political category. I noticed, however, that you convieniently left out the part of Jesus that also would call out those same people and call them to sin no more. Y'all make it out that Jesus was this softy that never stood on principle and frankly, if Jesus were here today and told people the truth about themselves, they'd hate and despise him and call him a bigot and a homophobe. Have you even tried to look at youtube videos of people preaching the gospel to the LGBTQ community recently? They absolutely HATE Jesus.

He didn't say "Use your wealth (but not all) for my purposes," he said to give all your wealth away to the poor and follow him. He literally said that. Pretty easy to understand. Rich Americans who proclaim to be Christian who retain their wealth are not following Christ's teachings, because they clearly love their money more than him.

I'm out, I grew up Presbyterian so I know all the excuses y'all will give and need to get back to work. Just funny to throw some cold water on the fake bullshite from time to time.

Jesus was calling out the idol in the young man's life, not making an absolute command for every Godly person to follow. There were plenty of folks from the bible that were wealthy and also were considered faithful to God. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, David, Solomon, Boaz, Joseph, Jehoshaphat & Hezekiah to name a few.

There was a time I probably would've but I got in a fight with a guy that had a knife one time when he played like he had been hit by a car. He was hunched over asking for help and when he was close enough to me, he threw a right hook and caught me under the eye. Luckily, I was able to eat it pretty well and throw shots back. I pretty much bailed when he started trying to pull his knife, which thank God got caught in his pants. Turns out he wanted to steal a car and had tried to steal someone else's earlier that night but she had her doors locked. Scariest thing that's ever happened to me.

I dd nothing of the sort. I actually haven't made a prescriptive claim at all yet. I simply pointed out the flaw in your logic. Not sure how you could accuse me of that when I never actually made an argument, I only diagnosed yours.

Yes if we become a totalitarian regime that ignores our basic rights, we can make our low crime rate even lower. We should shite on what it means to be American completely, however. It would also cost an absolutely unfathomable amount of public money to accomplish.

That’s a false dilemma. There are absolutely ways to clean up our broken system that releases violent thugs back onto the streets over and over again without having to support totalitarianism. But I’m sure you know that.

Neither of those things do anything. It’s a dumb myth. Crawfish that don’t “peel easy” are overcooked.

I gone without butter and they’ve peeled fine for sure. Just something I kinda like to add, usually at the beginning with my veggies before I drop the crawfish in.
