Christians hate sin. We even hate sin in ourselves. St. Paul hated it In himself telling us he does things he doesn't want to do. Your unapologetic sin puts you in a special category. You're stupid enough to believe you can turn my hatred for your advocacy to murder babies around and charge me with hatred leaving off the part about killing babies is valid, only proves conclusively what a total asswhole and demented evil POS you are. However, I do respect your free will to the extent that if you use it unwisely thru your unhealthy conscience, the consequences will be of your own "choice."

Really, Linda? He calls me an enemy of Christ and you give that a thumbs up?
I am disappointed in you.

You tell me it is sin. I do not answer to you, I answer to God.
You too will have to answer to Him one day for every careless word spoken or written, both here and in the real world. Because I have a really hard time believing that you would ever speak to even a random person on the street as you do to so many of the people here.

Christ loved sinners even to the point of death. What are Christians? "Little Christs"

Sadly, you have no love left for any but those you count among the righteous, it seems.

Do you really believe that you have the only correct answers? That God set you apart specially as an arbiter of sin and holiness, right and wrong, good and evil? That you and those who agree with every word that flows from your keyboard are the only people who can read and interpret the Bible correctly?

You may be surprised when death closes your eyes and you open them to the Judge of all.

I may be surprised.

But until then, I will not presume to call anyone a fool. I will only suggest that you may want to examine your motivations for behaving as you do here so often.

Having said that, I thank AuntiE once again for reminding me that I can decide whether or not to be nasty in return for nastiness from others who hold opposing views. She and I disagree on some things and are kindred spirits on others.

I imagine there are a lot of people on OPP who can say the same.

That Jesus know you intimately and that you advocate the murder of His children out to scare the bloody hell out of you but it doesn't. Even Judas knew he was wrong but his Pride, that he'd done something so evil that he thought even Jesus could not forgive him, was so great, he murdered himself. You're doing the very same thing only slower.

Jesus had to be betrayed by someone before his crucifixion - and our redemption - could take place. We can't know Judas' heart either. We can only read what occurred and what was said. Do you believe Jesus forgave Judas?

Padre got yah; the sin of pride has weakened your sense of righteousness/ your indignity pervades common courtesy and your prognostications show your shallow demeanor, get right with the lord before Satin claims your soul ( your grooming has been tainted)🤠

Good advice forSuP.
Hope he uses it.

DASHY; Apparently you don't pay attention to Joe's many "gaffes".

Oh well!

You betray Jesus by advocating the murder of 1.5 Billion children, His children, over the past 50 years. What you advocate is a sin far worse than what Judas did. Anytime we sin we betray Christ. To sin is to be human. To sin and not seek forgiveness is to be like the demons, like you.

Did Jesus forgive Judas? Judas never asked Jesus to forgive him. Isn't that the point, the issue?

I don't recall if we've discussed the lgbtq issue. Where do you stand here?

Maybe he will, his arrogant behavior has to end-he must use his god given talent for something good and never take shots at the messenger/ This thing about Trumps tribulations will only stifle his ability to move towards the path the savior has for him-he should take heart the idea that God indeed works in mysterious ways and Trump may just be something in that plan🤠

Your conspiracy theories are too weak to hold back the overwhelming evidence.

For example, the Democrats have a strong democratic advantage. This is very evident in the popular vote which is quite simply a tally of everyone's vote. Trump has never won a popular vote. He lost the popular vote by 3 million in 2016 and he lost it again in 2020, this time by 8 million votes.

So clearly, more Americans have been voting Democrat since at least 2016 and it appears this imparity is increasing. In 2016 Trump got lucky when the distortion of the electoral college worked in his favor. In 2020, it seems the 8 million vote deficit was too much for the electoral college to smear.

So your absurd claim that Democrats can't win without eliminating the EC has already been debunked and it's the Republicans, not the Democrats that are looking for ways to distort the will of the people.

Most people have no clue what the EC actually is or why it was established, which is why they don't understand how it's broken. It has nothing to do with protecting the small states, which is a rampant delusion often hoisted in a desperate attempt to validate the broken EC.

While The People elect their representatives with a popular vote, they do not technically vote for the president; Congress does. But to avoid corruption, a proxy called the Electoral College is used where electors are selected much like jurors are in a trial. Each state get's one elector per representative. So again, it's not about giving small states a boost, it's about avoiding the potential corruption that comes with allowing representatives to vote directly for a president.

This was actually very good design and it worked fine for over a century, but that's because representation expanded to keep up with the population thereby, insuring equal representation. Federalist 58 states that one of the “unequivocal objects” of the population census is “to augment the number of representatives … under the sole limitation that the whole number [of Representatives] shall not exceed one for every thirty thousand inhabitants.”

So, if two states each have 60,000 people, they would both have two representatives. If one of the states experiences a population boom resulting in 30,000 more people, a seat would be added to Congress to maintain a ratio of 1 for every 30,000. So now we have one state with 60,000 people and two representatives and the other with 90,000 people and three representatives... Everyone is equally represented.

All good so far...

But then Congress decided to stop expanding after the 1910 census and that's when the system broke. 1910 was in the middle of the industrial revolution and the states where industry was growing rapidly was experiencing massive population booms but without an expanding Congress, the people of these industrial states were forced to share one representative between 60,000 people or even more.

So it's not that there is anything wrong with the EC, per se. The problem is that it's based on the number of representatives which no longer provides equal representation for the people. So we have to ask ourselves. Is such unequal representation worth the rule that The People can't just vote for the president the same way they vote for their representatives, by popular vote?

Unfortunately, those in sparsely populated regions are fighting all efforts to fix the problem because the problem just happens to work in their favor. So my message to them is pretty simple... F u c k Y o u.

As for this nonsense that the EC is there to protect the little states, that comes from a combination of realizing that the current condition underlying the EC DOES give small states an unfair advantage and and effort to justify it by blurring the lines between the EC and past compromises, such as the 3/5th rule, which gave the southern states the advantage of counting each slave as 3/5ths of a person even though slaves couldn't vote. This was a compromise the northern states had to accept in order to get the southern states to sign on to the Constitution but since the Civil War, there has been no provision for "protecting" small states and that was NEVER the intention of the EC anyway.

No, I did not... I'm not like you dimwitted fanatics that have to cut and paste everything in desperate attempts to validate your narrative. These all came from my own memory as I have spent years researching and writing about each item on the list.

They are all valid points and you are simply denying them because they don't suit your narrative. You're welcome to dispute any one of them but I'm guessing you won't because you can't. That seems to be the prevailing pattern here.


Trump isn't man enough to actually accomplish anything of any substance. His entire presidency was a parade of cheap PR stunts, that for the most part sabotaged the republic to the cheers of his base of fanatical morons.

The Trump train is full of lies and Trump sewer gas. Menthane Trump now that's a good handle for him
