greedy people in our nation who have no direction in life who never work hard for anything
I agree, the bankers, shareholders and politicians etc. who sit back and collect profit stolen from the working class are a bunch of greedy bastards with no purpose but to parasitically leach off of society.
All the bad in America is due to Progressive's who censored religious expression from public land. Without God, and the moral values lifted up from our Christian faith, there will be anarchy!
These fools were so insecure of other's making them feel bad about themselves, they had to try and censor the Christian faith from America.
The results are all around us with broken families, huge welfare roles, etc. etc.
Liberal oppose gun rights, free speech, religious liberty, the right of unborn people (they now kill it AFTER it's born), religious liberty, the right of Jews to their nation, and are very bigoted against Christians, and play the race card too much.
I'm only posting on this side because I have to, there is no third option. This is just our problem and why bad still exists in this world. We blame. We all blame each other when we should be blaming ourselves. All the evil in the world is not from Right Wingers or Leftists. The bad in the world is from each and every one of us. We all have a part in this. Every day, due to the sin nature in mankind, we make bad choices. But, we cannot blame other people for that. WE are responsible as a whole.
Let's stop playing the blame game, admit our faults, repent, and move on; instead of just blaming someone else for it. We will get nowhere and sin will continue to be here on and on as long as we continue in this way, blaming each other for our own problems.

I think I agree with your general idea here.
However, on the other hand, consider what these two ideologies (i.e. "left" and "right") are about in principle. The left lauds the notion of a shared community and the right lauds the notion of individualism (oversimplifications perhaps, but accurate enough to make my point). Hence, the left encourages individuals to consider the impact their decisions have on the wider community. The right essentially does the opposite and creates attitudes of, "It works for me so I'm not particularly bothered about the impact it has on you."
Yo Nom I just recorded a diss aimed in your general direction. It's pretty cool, I compare you to Trump and shit etc.
I'm not even slightly interested. I've just decided to make notes of your accounts and auto-ban them. There is no point conversing with you because you're an unadulterated idiot.
That's cool, and you're a fat hairy woman who lies as much as Trump does.
And yet you are the one who switches accounts every hour, trying to disguise his identity from the forum, because as you well know, EVERYBODY here has decided that you are an unadulterated idiot. Not one person on this entire website likes or respects you and in fact over ninety percent of them would love to see you gone. You are a vile and truly obnoxious person.
EVERYBODY here has decided that you are an unadulterated idiot.
Even if that were true, what makes you think I care that a bunch of idiots think I'm an idiot? You know well that everyone here is pretty much an idiot. I challenge you to name three people here who aren't, and if you pick bullshit answers I will easily debunk them.
Btw, when are you going to add vocals to your music? I would like to hear the fat lady sing.
The literal only people here who aren't retarded don't seem to have a problem with me. Even you didn't before you got delusional because I almost turned a game of chess around on you completely and then proceeded to politely disagree with you once, which resulted in you throwing a temper tantrum and calling me names as you made excuses to avoid debating the subject that you could only address by distorting language.
I blame the Virgin Mary she came home after getting “knocked up “ and in fairness came up with a great cover story to save family embarrassment and see where that went .......
Nah, it all comes down to the Christians …… bitch ate the apple and they've been blaming us for sinning ever since! Since the right feels, ERRONIOUSLY, that WE on the left are the sinners …. it's the right's fault! ;-)
The insecure Leftist once again admits his insecurity of being called a sinner by others.
Guess what, supporting the killing of viable babies makes you a huge sinner, but Liberals refuse to ever admit their faults. It's called insecurity when you can't admit your sins.
LMAO! To YOU I'm a sinner, to me I'm a lover (not a fighter ;-). I admit my "sins" against SOCIETY, I haven't been an angel (One of them that fly around on wings and only wear white ;-), I've done some things I'm not proud of, some accidental (stupid), some intentional. You don't know ANY of them. I don't "support" the killing of "viable babies", I support the RIGHT of necessity. Many "liberals" do not support abortion in the ways YOU say they do but, they support the Constitution and Constitutional RIGHTS! (As well as the rights of WOMEN!)
I'm FAR more "secure" than YOU are because I don't "fear" an imaginary "god". I don't "fear" what will happen to me if I don't follow the instructions of some guy who talks to this imaginary god and somehow can "read his mind" because HE understands a book published and edited by some MAN. "All Bibles are man made." Thomas Edison I'm only a "leftist" because I don't agree with your rightist gobble-de-gook. I'm a reasonable human IMO ;-) I can't figure out WTF you are!???
If you did not fear a Christian God, why on Earth would you constantly ridicule Christians?
I DO KNOW your sin of supporting the killing of viable babies for any reason, and trying to hide your hideous sin by twisting the Constitution is pathetic!
Without God, man refuses to admit his sin. When we give our hearts to God, he takes away that insecurity as we become honest for the first time in our lives.
The Constitution never spoke to abortion. Fools on the Left took a privacy clause and applied it to the killing of unborn babies, even viable babies for any reason. Your excuses are demented!
I do not judge people for their sins! I am trying to protect innocent lives from a Godless world of people like you. I bet you that slave traders also used the Constitution to try and excuse their inhumanity towards innocent Black lives.
Do you think that Christians, who were fighting against the inhumanity of slavery, were being judgmental when speaking out?
Evil men will always find excuses to why their inhumanity is ok.
Christians do not need five Liberal activist Justices to tell us right from wrong. We know it in our hearts and can feel it in our conscience.
LOL. I DO NOT "insult Christians". Most of my family (and my wife's) call themselves Christians. I think MANY Christians …. a majority, actually, are really good people. Then there's the "Christians" like YOU (and Rep. Steven King ;-). THAT'S a cat of a different color!
I have always said I accept ALL religions that believe within their own and let others believe as THEY wish. Some people NEED a religion and I accept that. YOU, on the other hand, have an "overdose" and that makes you dangerous. You insist that everyone worship YOUR GOD, the ONLY GOD, and THAT starts wars. Wars are unhealthy. If you would believe what you want to believe and leave others alone, you and I would have no problems. You said: "I do not judge people for their sins." Yet, above you call me a sinner (among other things …. un-Jesus-like [and hypocritically] :-). You also said: "Evil men will always find excuses as to why their inhumanity is o.k. …. then you back Trump. (Hypocrisy :-)!
Liberals DO need 5 "liberal activist judges" to keep America a freedom of religion country … as it was founded! NOT a Christian theocracy!
Tell you what. If I go out and grab me some pussies …. will you like me better?? Maybe steal some Hispanic bitch's kids? :-(Right wing talk ;-), would you think I'm less of a hypocrite?? More of a Christian?? …. like T-Rump?? THAT man "refuses to admit his sin", while he commits adultery, bribery, kidnapping, mental torture for mothers and fathers AND their children, while he saves money by giving those he NEEDS, JOBS! While YOU, give him love and support, for your own selfish reasons …. hypocritically! FUCK the Hispanics! Fuck the blacks! (Even their "actual" babies)! As long as YOU get YOUR way! You'd love Satan if he'd just punish abortionists, and you would likely NOT feel that in your conscience. YOU are the KIND of Christian I don't like, Hypocrite. I like the good ones … the majority.
You truly are too old for debating. You constantly say ludicrous things.
You said you are ok with Christians that you like, but not the ones you don't like. LOL
You said you don't like the Christians who believe God is the only God. LOL, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT!
I guess your wife and all those "good" so called Christians do not believe the Bible they say they believe in. This is why you like those worldly Christians. The one's who say you will go to heaven just by supposedly being good.
So tell me, what does your wife say about you going to Hell when you die? If she is a Christian, she believes non believers will go to Hell.
I repeat, you can not stand TRUE Christians who actually lift up the truth of God's actual words.
You judge Christians who actually believe God's words.
Christians do not like wars, and we don't start wars you mindless waste of time.
Try speaking out against those Muslims that you never insult. They are the ones starting so many wars.
Yep, I'm paying for my sins …….. YOU give me a pain in the ass. :-)
What sins HAVEN'T I admitted, pray tell …. (if I may ;-). I'm a "sinner" from WAY back! I don't consider some things "sins", that YOU do, but I consider some things YOU do "sins" ………… like hypocrisy, like saying you're a Christian when you are ANYTHING but "Jesus-like". Give it up, idiot. :-)
I have NEVER supported no-restriction abortions, you hideous liar! I just don't support AS MANY restrictions as YOU would like!
You right wing extremists always try to make it look like liberals are "all or nothing" to cover up for the FACT that RADICAL conservatives ARE "all or nothing"! Abortion, gun laws, socialism, capitalism, WE ARE NOT ALL OR NOTHING! WE want "reasonable", YOU want RADICAL … all or nothing! :-(
Tell me, how is it you "elect" the biggest liar ever to be in the White House, think he's GREAT, and say I'M sick. I AM the responsible person here it seems. ;-)
This sin't a "debate site" when YOU are on it, it's an "agree with me or you're a liar, a hypocrite, a Demorat" ( or whatever you happen to see in the mirror that day! ;-)
But ROAD ISLAND AL you just cannot bring yourself to mention the MOOSLIMES that you are told to support and why is that ? MOOSLIMES want to kill the INFIDEL you IDIOT and have you not figured out as of yet you are the INFIDEL ??????? DAMN you LEFTIST are DUMB !!!!!!!!
1) Please don't use language - Name calling is not necessary
2) What you are calling "Christians" and the "Christians of today are two different things. Explanation: Since God created the world, the only two first people were perfect humans, but not "Christians" as you say. they were just God's perfect creation. Then, Eve ate the apple and offered it to Adam, who did the same. This is when sin entered the world and plagued EVERYBODY. Today, those that follow the Bible and believe in the death of Jesus on the Cross are "Christians". And we subsequently believe in the creation and Adam and Eve. The logic does not tie together though. This does not mean that the "Christians" of today are the same people that Adam and Eve were.
3) Regardless of all the previous information, it doesn't matter whether they started sinning or not. It is still your fault and yours alone that you sin. YOU are the one that makes the choice. Just as if your parents were abusive: sure it's their fault that your childhood was a mess, but that is NOT a valid excuse for committing a crime today.
You commit the sin, it's your fault. Don't be like the rest of the world. Confess, repent, don't play the blame game. BTW, I don't blame you for evil and sin, I blame myself and the entire human race. It's everyone's fault and the only way to attempt to make things better is if we ALL admit that, stop blaming others, and take responsibility.
I appreciate the advice, but, we just don't believe the same way. The "language" I used was a statement I read from another. When in Rome ……
I don't believe in Adam & Eve, or even Lilith. The Bible was written hundreds of years after the time of Jesus …. I DO believe a MAN named Jesus lived. Apparently a charismatic man who made an imprint. NOT the son of any god.
You're new here, I've been called many names. Again, when in Rome …. ;-)
What are you talking about?? You first say the * ate the apple and then you say "I don't believe in Adam and Eve?? You're not being consistent at all. If you just wanted to make an argument for the sake of making an argument, but don't even believe what you're saying... then don't. (I'm not familiar with Lilith. It's not a biblical term)
As for your "when in Rome" statement: that's a bunch of nonsense and I hate the saying. When in Germany, mercilessly slaughter millions of Jews, infants children, disabled, and elderly.... no. Being somewhere or taking something from somewhere gives you no right to suddenly disregard what is right and do wrong. That's a ridiculously flimsy excuse.
I know I'm new, but that doesn't mean anything about my ability to know what is acceptable and what is not. And, also, I'm not sure why you said it, but I'm not calling you names and never did. I'm not petty that way.
That could be... sorry if that's the case, but still, the rest of what I said stands and language should never be used, even if repeating someone else's words.
Yes, Lilith IS mentioned in the Bible, in one place. I have it somewhere but I'm not that interested in looking it up. Anyway, it seems that that little item was overlooked by Constantine and his scribes when they picked and chose what they thought "God would want" in their Bible … centuries after the "fact" as they saw it. Anyway, the ancient story survived . It seems Adam and Lilith were made from the same mud puddle, making them equals. Adam said "Lie beneath me woman" and Lilith kind of told him to "pound sand" (in so many words ;-). Adam went crying to God and God decided he would make him another mate named Eve, but, he would make her from his rib this time, making her subservient to him (so convenient for the rest of man's eternity ;-). There are several stories about how Lilith was punished, turned into a demon, made to look ugly … anything to show women they should listen to their man! To this day some women think the man is THEE boss … second only to God, that is.
These "follow up stories" have as much legitimacy as the ones Constantine included in his "book" … which is simply hearsay. It's made up of translations from damaged stone tablets, partially unreadable Papyrus leaves and the campfire stories of goat and sheep herders … NO videos or tapes. Translations are hit or miss, little more than "interpretations" when it comes to ancient, unprinted languages. So, NO ONE really knows what, if any, of the Bible is anything but mythology and imaginary characters. Ever try that game where you whisper something to someone and they pass it on around the room? It NEVER resembles the original. Try that after a few hundred years! It's likely something like your exaggerated example of when I said: "When in Rome...." I would not "slaughter millions …" I'll leave that up to your god entity, who, it is said, did that several times.
I don't believe as you do because I see NO PROOF, and it looks to me like mythology. That said, if this God shows up and "straightens things out" I would certainly reconsider. "I'm not petty that way". You won't find me saying you must stop your stupid religious beliefs. I'm not that way. I believe people should believe what they wish, but, keep it within their own and NOT try to create laws others MUST follow because YOU, and yours have decided that's the way everyone must live. Society will do that, and even consider your belief, but, make the laws as the majority wants them … for the sake OF the majority, not ONE religion.
I'm not calling you names, I'm not ridiculing ANYONE'S religion. I'm just stating what ( I ) believe, and I believe I'm being "consistent".
You know, I'm not sure where you all went in that post. You said a lot that didn't refer to what I originally commented on. But here's a few things:
This Lilith thing is a complete fabrication. I feel we're kind of getting off topic, but whatever. God created Adam from dust and a while later (no one can tell quite how much time elapsed) God created eve by putting Adam to sleep and removing a rib. This does show a leadership position that men have. However, we must respect our wives and God does the Church (Ephesians 5:25). But, yes, God did put men in an authoritative position. In regards to this Lilith person, Constantine didn't even compile the Bible. That was done about a century after his death. This person is mythology and is never spoken of in scripture in relation to Adam. Again, this is off topic and I didn't mean to debate it.
I know you wouldn't slaughter millions! I'm just saying that that saying does not give you an excuse to use language.
It is quite obvious you believe we should all respect others' beliefs and not push our own on others. It's great YOU believe that. However, I believe that we should do exactly the opposite. It's wonderful you believe what you believe, but I believe something totally different. Thus, you are actually pushing your belief on me, exactly what you say you go against. How you act is just a matter of what you believe, and I believe (based on biblical command) that I should spread the gospel and attempt to change minds. I will be active in this. I think anyone who believes something should try to get others to believe it. If not, what's the point in believing it?
I don't really give a darn if "society" wants something. Because I believe something, I'll act on it regardless of what society tells me to do. Again, just because the Nazi "society" wanted all Jewish, disabled, weak, black, or elderly people to die by the millions does not mean that people should have just gone along with it. Society (the majority) can be wrong, it really can. I believe today it is VERY wrong. That is why I speak and act in regards to my Faith and my beliefs.
(Also, Isaiah 34:14 DOES say "there too Lilith will repose." However, this is a poor translation. Every major translation quotes, "screech owl" or "night creature." Let's just say for the fun of it that Lilith was what it meant, it never once ties that creature to Adam or the creation account.)
