There were active primaries for Democratic Presidential candidates both in 2016 and 2020. The premise of the OP can be debunked by simply looking at Wikipedia (or if you are like me, simply consult your memory). My sons and daughter went for Bernie, while I supported Pete Buttigieg. The combination...

This is standard procedure when an incumbent president is the candidate. Int he run up to 2020 direction Trump didn't have to debate any Republican candidates for the Republican presidency nomination. Yes there are usually some small in-party candidates that make some noise and officially announce ...

So..... The DNC has picked the last two presidential candidates, despite voters picking someone different. This time, they are removing debate altogether. No talking ideas or looking at records, they are just picking your president. How do we feel about this? Is anyone concerned about this, or is th...

Your mind and heart are bitter and filled with hate. I haven't seen Trump do this. But I see that is what you are doing. SaidNobody, the way message boards work best is if you steer clear of personal attacks. I apologize to some extent. I am MAGA. I am not bragging this up. The OP was not a persona...

Right on.

Tea is a beautiful thing, I agree. But rejecting tea, coffee, and tobacco has created a powerful bond between Mormon people. The idea that tea is sinful is ridiculous, but the moral is very powerful. Mormons are pure in numerous ways because of the Word of Wisdom. Mormons are stronger as a group be...

p.s. As we see from the original post, anyone could be defined as the Antichrist based on someone else's morals. This is an example of how a certain group of Christians conclude Donald Trump is the Antichrist based on scripture, while another group believes he is God-sent to rescue us from the Anti...

Morals are laws of nature, but not in the same ways as gravity or fusion. Gravity and fusion exactly the kinds of laws I'm talking about. Morals are sloppy because they are cultural and/or personal. Child sacrifice was highly valued in the the earliest Israelite traditions, up to the point when it ...

Sort of like Trump in projecting his own actions onto others.

I haven't seen Trump do this. But I see that is what you are doing.

What is the scale on which morals are judged as strong to weak. And why that one? The scale? I'm not sure I understand. A weak moral might be, "Don't wear white after Labor Day." Many believe it, and many haven't heard of it. To some, it's important, and most don't care. A strong moral might be adu...

I generally agree with this, but I replace "morals" with "laws of nature." You can't break the laws of nature but you can really mess things up by not respecting them. The Anichrist is just another boogeyman to scare people into believing in authority: Antichrist, Satan, Gozer the Gozerian, George ...

Democrats used to be the party of slavery and hate.

Times have really changed. Now the KKK are Trump supporters.

buzz. It's all theater and shows. Seriously, if you owned the KKK today and wanted to use them to your advantage, would you have them show up at your rally or your opponent?

Note: the following is for discussion only. I do not believe in Satan or the Antichrist. I find it interesting that whenever there's a Democratic president, Evangelical groups start falling all over themselves finding parallels with the Antichrist. It struck me that Donald Trump's behavior fits the...

Trump is able to make his followers believe lies, much like the Anti-Christ. The Anti-Christ is able to make Lindsey Graham plead like a manipulative schoolgirl in asking the deluded followers to send the Anti-Christ gobs of money. No one is really qualified to declare what is true. But, I was inde...

I was going to say that Trump is a lot like Joseph Smith. A least #1-9 could apply to Joseph.

Love both Joseph Smith and Trump.

Another mass shooting in Nashville today. The forces of MAGA will brag that this makes us # 1.

Your mind and heart are bitter and filled with hate.

Question to Woman: if there were a fire and you could only save yourself, would you go back for your husband? Woman's answer, sheepishly given: No, I would save myself. Question to Man: If there were a fire and you could only save yourself, would you go back for your wife? Man's answer, soberly giv...

Natural selection requires free agency, as it is the organisms themselves that must interact with their environment and make choices - create themselves, change themselves. Self-reliance, independent, free. Creationism is deterministic- determined, planned designed by a single divine being. Conform...

Give this a read. Body Ritual Among the Nacirema https://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/pdf-files/Nacirema.PDF I cannot counter this paper....., except that I can counter pretty much anything. I share the belief in parallel realities. How this is achieved is probably different than typical Hollywo...

I agree with SN, that cultures all seem to have religious belief and that it helps to organize people into civilization. But, once organized into civilization, can we stay organized and civilized?? Not too sure about that one. Seems to me that we also have a need to overthrow our oppressors every f...
