Maybe god's power isn't absolute. He can do things, but it takes effort on his part and stops him from doing other things.
I have serious theories on this that I think other cultures have tried to tackle.
Stop voting for establishment politicians.
If they're part of the Obama/Clinton crew, they need to go.
You're part of the problem that increases the disparity in wealth, yet you have the audacity to attack people who criticize you for it.
You're entitled. You're greedy. You're a proud consumer. Instead of getting mad at me for point out these facts, you should start to value different things so you're no longer part of the problem.
You accuse me of not seeing nuance, but turn around and do the same yourself.
I bet that sounded nice in your head, but it doesn't really hold any relevance here.
See, that's the problem. You people think it's all-or-nothing. You never consider those who have less and feel like you should get more before they get more.
The mere idea of spreading out and improving areas to increase the supply of high quality living spaces is not something you would support. You only support the idea of building up, not out.
If that town of 3000 isn't "good enough" for you, then why should you get more before them? Huh? What are you doing that makes you worthy of it? Oh yeah, that's your entitlement kicking in. Thanks for proving me right.
You're part of the problem. And you get mad at me for calling you out on it.
Not really. If we're living at or below a standard that is attainable for us all, then we're not part of the problem.
We don't have to go off into the woods or subsistence farm. That's a distraction put by the ruling class for useful idiots to believe so they think it's all-or-nothing.
Magnitude matters. Just because you have more doesn't mean you need to spend more, and that's what the people you're defending are doing.
That said, I live a very modest life in a very modest area. I could spend more, if I wanted to. I could make more if I took more advantage of others. I choose not to because that would make me part of the culture we should be trying to change.
so what ends up happening is that it just becomes a breeding ground for fascism.
I've never seen this myself. Not saying it doesn't happen, but it's likely blown way out of proportion by the ~~people~~ children who can't tolerate opposing viewpoints.
Can you people stop trying to browbeat others into supporting your agendas?
Not everyone has to agree with you on every online forum.
Yeah, I haven't bought a game in years. Wish I could refund or resell most of the games I bought on Steam, but oh well. Live and learn.
Sailing the high seas has been a breath of fresh air. It's nice to have greater ownership over my software than the rubes who pay for theirs, lol. And it's cheaper!
I actually disagree. I think most people who share your view of religion come at it from a fundamental point of misunderstanding.
Don't get me wrong, most devout followers of religions also have fundamental misunderstandings. People like you tend to be unwilling to learn though and immediately jump to trying to invalidate the experiences and reasonings of others.
I'd say it's coming from a position of fear more than anything else. You're afraid of what you don't know and rather than admit you could be wrong about something, you double-down and cover your ears. It's an easy response to have. It's harder to open your mind and accept that the people you disagree with might know more about something than you do.
