I'm not a climate scientist either (I'm a molecular microbiologist), but I do know of several Christian men and women that work in the field. We should all have some skepticism when such monumental changes are suggested, but I do want to assure you that this is not just the ravings of a bunch of atheist scientists. While the dire consequences are frequently overblown, particularly by the media, there is very good evidence suggesting that climate change is happening and human activity is the largest driving force. I appreciate the apology, although hardly necessary. I'm well acquainted with responding with words and tone that I regret later.

Your earlier quote not only indicates that you believe it is false, but you find it incredible that other Christians can believe it to be true. It seems that you believe accepting evidence is contrary to the Christian faith. “The world is telling everyone that they are causing the climate to change and, incredibly, faithful Christians believe the world.”

If you don’t know it is false, you should probably not claim it is false. By the way, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

So you don’t understand any of the data, but have concluded it must be false because “the world” believes it. That is some incredibly weak evidence to build a belief - let alone one you are apparently 100% certain of.

WorthyBot once again doing it’s typical poor job of accurately reporting current news. It’s pretty hypocritical for the CIA director to tell Brazilians to accept election results while hundreds of Republicans running for office are still claiming Trump is the rightful President. Let’s pray the Brazilian “stop the stealers” find better ways to express their feelings than their American counterparts did.

Who are you referring to, other than Matt Gaetz?

It would probably be best to wait for the full story before making assumptions. Maybe think critically about conclusions before making them. For example, is this really his residence? If so, did he own or rent? What we do know from DePape’s online activity is that he was a big fan of conspiracies like “stop the steal” and vaccine conspiracies.

I’m also looking forward to that day. Until then, there will be sin all around us and in us. I believe it is incredibly dangerous in the meantime for us to advocate for governments to pass laws against personal sins of any sort.

Do you also believe that there should be laws against heterosexual sin?

I’m not sure I understand this comment. Are you suggesting that being homosexual should be against the law?

Agreed - I don't think it is ever the wrong decision to be kind, even to those we see in sin.

Well played! 😃

Undoubtedly true - it is just a larger problem with the Republican Party.

You are intentionally accusing me of saying something I did not say. I said most Republicans are not White Supremacists but many are. Furthermore, I do not find your unwillingness to examine evidence surprising in the least.

I’m not talking about them, I’m talking about White Supremacists and their affiliation with the Republican Party. But since you bring it up, the existence of Black racist groups can be directly tied to how Black people have been treated in this country for hundreds of years.

I’d prefer you try to learn something and Lord knows I can’t say anything you will take under consideration.

I don’t expect to have a reasonable dialogue over this, but this is a good example. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/08/12/deep-divisions-in-americans-views-of-nations-racial-history-and-how-to-address-it/

I'm becoming increasingly interested in The American Solidarity Party and The And Campaign.

The problem is that policies cannot be teased apart from parties. Voting for one party due to a policy I feel strongly about automatically means voting for policies I don’t agree with by extension.

There is no sense in denying that in the 1960s, White Supremacists found their home within the Democratic Party. Likewise, there is no sense in denying that in the 2020s, White Supremacists find their home within the Republican Party.

Most Republicans are not White Supremacists, yet many are. Many are spurred on by the likes of Tucker Carlson convincing them that non-whites are the root of many of their problems. The White Supremacists invariably align with one party for a reason. Both of the two modern American political parties leave much to be desired for a principled Christian.

I haven’t seen you post a cogent argument contradicting the obvious fact that modern White Supremacists support the Republican Party. Re-reading anything you’ve posted will not change that.

It’s too bad you ignore US history because of something that happened in Germany.

The Southern Strategy was in the US, not Germany. Not a single US city was burned down 🙄 This has nothing to do with who White Supremacists align with. I’m honestly a little worried about you.

I suppose the 129 reference are probably “socialist” too. How is this relevant to US history? Very true. Unfortunately, there are still MANY racist Americans. The current worst White Supremacist groups also gravitate to the Republican Party. This is fact.
