I think that deciding on the existence of a superior being based on facts is perfectly reasonable and acceptable

I agree with you that none of the actions by individual are directed or controlled by any "mythological being" and the major religions are so contrived and designed for ulterior motives of the leaders that most of their rhetoric is also no evidence either. My studies of ancient geometry ,the precessional code and sound scales along with the diameters of the Earth , the moon and the Sun as well as the distances of the planets as measured in miles or kilometers has convinced my that there is a Creator! The final evidence of this may only become evident when we are just a soul or spirit halving left our earthly body in death.Thanks term2 for this discourse.

Trump has encouraged us all to free ourselves from political correctness. I have taken to say whats on my mind no matter what now.

I love this by David Stockman: "Marco Rubio is an obnoxious kid who wants to be President so he can play with guns, planes, ships and bombs."

That makes sense actually. Kind of like the airline instruction on putting on your oxygen mask first before helping your child put on his

I agree, term2. Until the American Revolution, very little progress had been made in making any general populace "free". The magic phrase "all men are created equal" was lighting a candle in the darkness that grew brighter and was reinterpreted to include more people and the evolution towards equal rights for all was then underway. I recall reading that Frederick Douglas commented on why the slaves weren't freed right after the American Revolution by saying the white man had to free himself first.

I do think that the beg innings of our country were more about rejecting England than guaranting freedom for everyone here

He is just tossing out there his strong points so the other side understands what they are. That's good negotiating. 4 yrs of telling it like it is is good for us

IMHO, the phrase "all men are created equal" penned by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence had nothing to do with race, ethnicity, gender or sexual preference. It was an assault on the divine right of kings. It put King George III, to whom the open letter was addressed, on notice that the people of the new nation would not be having a royal class and their rule by right of birth will be rejected and no longer recognized.

What doesn't make sense also is that there is some mythical all knowing and all powerful being that directs all this. No evidence for that

Yes. I would love to be a fly on the wall of the oval oddice

What do you mean by saying that ALL Cruz people struggle to form complete

Considering he's at about 20% and falling in every state except Texas, it really is a dead issue.

I honestly can't figure out what the question is.

A coincidence!
My American born full-blooded Swedish father was raised a Lutheran who converted to Catholicism to marry my mother.
They now rest side by side beneath the same somewhat sizable grave marker.
Dad turned into a devout Catholic. I didn't.
All five of his sons fell away from the Catholic church, though his youngest reconverted in recent years. He used to be agnostic.
I'm the oldest, a Protestant who rarely goes to a church, Methodist being the last one.
The only atheist now says he believes there is a God due to beauty in the world.
.

Yes. All the others have their talking points list.

What kind of a negotiator speaks his mind without sneakiness? ;^)
I think your comments are naive regarding Trump.

He "speaks his mind...without sneakiness"?--No,
there is no need for sneakiness. He brazenly
praises eminent domain and brags about his lack
of principle, and says he can change into what
others want. And if people don't want to bother to
hold him to any standard of principle, it should
be pretty easy to fool them. I think Clinton or
Sanders would be worse, but it will be a disaster
if our only choice is between one of them or
Trump.

Yes it is true that we manipulate genes to
Promote certain desirable traits.Who manipulated
The genes of an ape to create human beings to need clothing to reason to invent to communicate verbally and orally in hundreds of different languages .I know that the argument is mutations
Changed apes to mankind but it doesn't make sense to me that no other creatures mutated into intelligent beings.
As for the federal reserve it has been in some shape or form controlling the money of our country for over 215 years and every president who tried to reign in its power has been assassinated Abolish it yes but also the puppet masters should be imprisoned and their ill gotten wealth should be repatriated.

Something to think about: Whether made by God or the Big Bang Theory, the Earth is made up of many land masses from other planets. So maybe the dinosaurs are not part of the Earth's history. Sometimes you gotta think outside of the box and not just accept what is crammed down your throat. I keep my mind open until something is actually a fact.

I don't think I said anything about God or the bible.If you want to use that argument as proof of evolution your reasoning lacks scientific evidence.
