Bible history and the present

[Sanity Check]

1 Samuel 8 New International Version (NIV)


10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: ....you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”


19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations


* * *


The above is a classic illustration of the human tendency to support trendy bad ideas.

Over good ideas that are smart or true.

Looking at the past 50 years of history. Every problem ranging from deficits to taxes, wages, job markets, poverty, homelessness, drugs, reduced standard of living, war. All of these issues were caused by people supporting and voting for what is trendy.

How do we break this negative cycle?

Stop believing in urban myths and mythology that has no basis in reality and is used to control, manipulate and divide the masses???

Imagine.

2000+ years ago, monarchy was a trendy and horrible idea.

Let's say socialism is a trendy and horrible idea, right now.

The only reason people support things like monarchy and socialism is trendiness. Wanting to support and follow the same bad ideas, they see foreigners in other countries doing.

Wouldn't that be something like a deep observation of human nature.

Did you even bother to read past the first line of the post??? Some are so eager to attack.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah
Did you????

He is using bible quotes that he believes forecasted what keeps happening in society, that people foolishly follow things impulsively that are trendy

I merely pointed out that the bible, a fictional book, is the most followed and trendy impulsive human ideal that has ever existed, and has lead to more human misery than any other concept in history

See the irony?????????

[stevenash]

[turbobets]

Maybe it is fiction? So now we should never quote books of fiction to make a point.

[BigDofBA]

If you aren’t a virgin or work on Sundays, you shouldn’t exist according to the Bible.

Sad

[dustyy]

bible great fiction book

Not gonna knock it but they lost me when anything but lights out, missionary position only is considered sodomy. Not only will a bj buy you a ticket to hell, it will also get you busted in Georgia.

A little sarcasm but amazingly, not too far from the truth

The message is clear we need Trump for 4 more years. Keep America great.

LOL
C'mon man

This is not some everyday fictional book
You are being disingenuous

This fictional book is what the US has been based on and people live their lives by it

It would be funny if it wasn't so destructive

So no, you can't use this fictional book to make a point because it is the actual origination of the problem he is referring to

Nice try



Try Tom Sawyer
To my knowledge there have been no crimes against humanity and mass murders because of it

Trendy atheist fairy tales ^.

With zero basis in reality.





There's nothing that says atheism is smart or even valid.

Its just trendy. Like everything else today that is bad for people.

LOL
I'm not an atheist
How predictable on your part

That's the problem with people of faith and believers of a benevolent God represented in man's writings
You think in absolutes where there are none that any man knows

Atheists do the same thing

You all must have an answer, so you will accept absurdities as your answer

Your rationale thought has been removed

Those who accept absurdities are destined to commit atrocities

My beliefs are not absolute and are just that, beliefs

I would never pretend to have the answers in the absence of definitive proof

That would be insane

You are a product of herd thinking, delusion, cult brainwashing, and out right fraud

When someone doesn't have to have an answer to something, rationale and logical thought determine their beliefs

When someone must have the answer to everything, they will believe anything, whether rationale or not

The reason why religious, faith based and atheist people form groups of the same ideals, and recruit others to join them, is because deep down inside they are insecure about their beliefs
Safety in numbers helps to gloss over the doubts

My approach to religion and politics resembles mixed martial arts.

I threw everything I could find into a cage to figure out what is real and what isn't.

The only one reciting shallow platitudes and oversimplistic stereotypes to compensate for lack of knowledge or experience is you.

Yes, my posts are very simplistic while yours are very well thought out


LOL

Especially that MMA analogy
Its hard to argue with wisdom like that

You can't even debate rationally

I know you have absolute knowledge and experience of what has happened since the beginning of time, what is happening now, at what will happen for eternity

And why and how it has, is and will occur and the powers behind it all

I'm just jealous I'm not that knowledgeable
You caught me


Like I said, absurdities

Remember when you pretended to have all the answers right here:

Do the world a favor and stfu until you achieve some degree of consistency and coherence.


You're not honest enough with yourself to discuss these topics.

Try Tom Sawyer

I almost wrote Tom Sawyer instead of books of fiction. Synchronicity? Not a promoter of religion but don't hate it and see no reason to knock others who practice. Argument could be made without it we would still be living in caves hitting each other over the head with clubs. OK that's a bit extreme but you get my point.

You better fuckin’ chime in Maggie, buddy has some dirt on you. I was having an argument/discussion with Optional regarding the same topic, & he basically said/verified that the Bible is a hoax as well.

[BeatTheJerk]

I told Optional if you’re right and I’m wrong at the very least “Christ was sacrificed & he died for our sins” is a fairytale then we’re going to the same fuckin’ place no one wins. Although if he’s wrong well then perhaps read the Bible and find out

[maggiethebestdog]

Facts are scary to the "faith" crowd

When you introduce facts into the conversation, all of a sudden you are somehow guilty of being a know it all

Pitts is weird as fuk

Pitty is the boss. He should run for office, and I already know I will be his Campaign Finance Officer.


EDIT: You know what. I really think groups of SBR members could run a campaign. Get elected. And do better than any of these jackas*es that are in office. Pelosi, Whitmer, Newsom, Cuomo. Bunch of circus acts.

[PittsburghPlayer]

definitely weird, but I think the actual diagnosis was something other than weird

I was a dam builder, across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around, I'll always be around and around and around and Around and around

How do we break this negative cycle?

You break it by restricting voting rights to white land owners.

Kinda like the founders did. They weren't stupid. They knew damn well that the peasants would vote themselves gifts from the treasury. That women would vote w emotion and irrational thought, that blacks would vote in unison based on race rather than idea.

If that were to be The case we would put bullets in the heads of all white land owners, starting with you. World would be a much better place. Lots of free pale fertilizer.

Weren't white land owners responsible for supporting the 1st and 2nd US central banks, the federal reserve, income taxes. They supported every trendy policy that was terrible for america.

The only thing different about the founding fathers is their mentality:





They believed in political/economic literacy.

No one today believes in this.

Which is why all ppl can do is run in circles like headless chickens.

Not understanding anything.
