There's a difference between voting for someone because you don't like either, which some did with Trump, and ludicrously stating he's the best president ever. I mean I guess the supposed wall that Mexico paid for, oh wait the wall didn't happen nor did Mexico paying for it, or the great...

I don't remember calling anyone racist. I understand some people are Republicans some are Democrats some are neither. I'm pretty moderate myself but no one with an IQ bumping anywhere near triple digits thinks Trump was the best president ever. Where's the logic? Is it because he repeatedly...

I would consider it "being good for the earth to thin the human herd" as being irrational, well at least pretty anti social. It would either indicate a desire to die in order to help the earth ( which begs the question why not just finish your self off ) to the idea that you want to help spread...

. I wouldn't belittle her but obviously that belief is pretty far out there. You're engaging in that ridiculous notion that all opinions are equal so who are we to say what is right or wrong? In other words decades of education and expertise means no more than the opinion from the guy sitting...

Made what official? It added some words to a school children's pledge . Doesn't even say a single thing about being Christian. Could be a Hindi god.....also it doesn't establish the country as officially Christian.

Ya I've found that whole "nobody is perfect" and forgiveness argument seems to only go one way. Like if the person in question agrees with me politically no transgression is a problem.....I did find a bit amazing that the same people who couldn't tolerate slick Willie's sleaziness had zero...

A large part of the founding fathers were believers in the enlightenment which sought to steer us towards science and rationality and away from the mystical. Read what Ben Franklin had to say about it. So while I'm sure some had mixed feelings and went back and forth I believe much of the...

I don't know, maybe we're being nit picky but I'm not arguing that a majority of the country didn't, or doesn't still, CALL themselves Christian. Most I know who say so don't go near a Church or behave any more 'christian' then I do. The point is there is no official religion in the United...

There's always a push and pull but legally there is no official religion. Which, IMO, is a good thing. You're well versed in the subject of religion so surely you realize that the ardently religious like to push their views on others, proselytizing writ large. Jefferson and Paine paid some lip...

God doesn't necessarily mean a Christian God, if it said 'Jesus' then maybe....😉

That's not official. That part was added by the Catholics during the commie freakout in the 50's to try to differentiate between us and the godless commies. It has no legal meaning or power, unlike the separation of church and state in the Constitution.

Was just curious what examples you were referring to I wasn't arguing their validity. Usually when an accusation like imperialism is lodged the accuser gives an example. The United States is NOT a Christian country. The majority may belong to that religion, although the percentage is dropping...

I've pointed out our record of regime change to many jingoistic Americans. Some happened before WW2. I'm not arguing any of that nor for the United States being perfect. Just saying better than the alternatives. I've never seen a lot of evidence showing religious people being better behaved...

Never claimed to be Christian, I think most countries act in their best interest. Give some imperialist examples. I assume Vietnam is on the list? It is sort of a binary choice, unless you're wanting the right side to win and then that country to behave perfectly from that on or at least close...

So wait a second, you're saying that pharmaceutical company that developed an extremely effective vaccine very quickly is going to make money off of it? I always thought that profits were an incentive to develop a better mouse trap but apparently they're nefarious....are you a secret communist...

Oh so you're saying they're pushing the vaccines for money, you talk about logic and statistics and you talk about leaving it to God? Okay, that's probably how the Taliban will handle it as well.... So you expect the first world population to forgo protection for themselves and their loved ones...

Agreed, I'm just looking at it from practical terms and if the United States withdrew from the world stage after WW2, as many wanted, I think the vast majority of the world would have been worse for it. The Chinese have an advantage in that our politicians only look as far as the next election...

Ya I think the Chinese will have some issues dealing with that **** show as well 🤞

Nobody's perfect, again the soviets or Nazis wouldn't have been a good time either.
