  • Greetings of Shalom and what I meant (w/o the typo) was gender strife. I think this makes clear that statement.

  • @critvalsky I am unfamiliar with the term "gender strive."

    I agree with your point about the goal of so much advertising is to instill insecurity, self-doubt, anxiety that can supposedly be filled by things outside oneself. And yes, creating those feelings is a form of spiritual attack.

  • @critvalsky America's settlement by non-indigenous people and gradual expansion happened over a longer time period than just the immediate pre-and post-revolutionary time periods would suggest.

    As for motives, even if your assessment is correct, to make current, adverse judgments on institutions based on the past motivations of their founding would be to accept a fatalistic, disempowered view, rather than the idea that institutions can be redeemed to more exalted purposes. I prefer hope.

  • @raztis1 It's unfortunate that the cynical misuse of religion has led so many people become disengaged from it. Lots of people have come to the conclusions have about religion because of how they've seen other people use it to exalt themselves and demean others. On the other hand, I feel like religion itself is also the victim. It is a tool to to help the individual understand the metaphysical world just like science is a tool to help people understand the physical world.

  • @Asenueh yes. im an agnostic anti-theist.. i have many religious friends, but the whole concept of the church disgusts me, and for the govt to say the only way i can help my dying child is to give them more power then walk in and ask for their assistance is just horrendous to me, no different than forcing blacks into a kkk office. it is unconstitutional, bigoted, hate and they just dont care.. what scares me the most is that so many independents dont realize these things, or just dont care.

  • @raztis1 It's positively Dickensian, like when Ebenezer asked, "Are there no workhouses...?"

    I favor secular government, but that said, I personally vote according to my belief that in the admonition to "Love my neighbor," includes EVERYONE in the relevant jurisdiction, not just people who believe in religion. The Constitution also enumerates, in Article 1, Sec. 8, a duty of Congress to "provide for the General Welfare," which doesn't specify a condition of religious belief.

  • @Asenueh exactly.. we would litteraly be talking about death in the streets, robbery and burglary on a massive scale. now they talk about how ppl on medicare should just go to churches for help!? ok, so what about the 30 million non and anti-theists in america? should they go to the place their trying to remove because their sick? and will they be helped? they do not care about half the pop. of this country and WANT them to die off, so they can take complete control of it.

  • @raztis1 You might like my Family Values: A perspective from the Religious Left Part 2 video on economic policy. I did all my own animations in that.

    I don't understand the mind-blowing ignorance of the right-wing either. They think they are defending Capitalism, yet there actions would reduce the participation the system needs to survive and take us back to a feudal economy.

  • they want to destroy soc. security, medicaid, medicare, food stamps, govt housing and child care, and min wage laws just to tax the rich less. this will KILL millions of poor sick and old in this country. it will prolly lead to a civil war. it will create very few jobs because the rich dont spend money they horde it, thats why their rich. they push "personal responsibility" crap, which really means if u cant afford what we charge u then just go die.. they should b treated as terrorists..

  • Oh I RE Read my comment. I was stating the fire dept and city was building HATE not ASENUEH, Sorry,,,A resonable person or city could charge 20 X s if you need the fire services and have not paid the yearly 75 dollars. If the person needed fire protection and had no money just LEIN the home....oh wait there is no home to lien. I hope they change their policy.
