Free will is a theological question, as it's never directly addressed in the Bible. In the end it comes down to two things: on the one hand you cannot have free will if God is timeless and all-knowing, on the other hand you must have free will if your choice to follow God is to have any...

I was originally going to use "virtues" instead of values, but obviously their quality aren't listed among the seven heavenly virtues. Though, per @ShieldWife comment, both humility and credulity are, slight difference between credulity and being non-judgemental, but I think the latter is a...

None of the other ones did though, of which there are hundreds. Communism, Marxism, Leftism, all are Christian heresies, taking most of the same core values and extrapolating them to the point of hyperbole. You could make the same argument for democracy and capitalism, but those aren't the...

Breitbart Townhall Factcheck.org (July 21st) So, in conclusion, if Biden says everything then anyone can use legitimate quotes to back their own position. He says fund AND defund depending on what seems more popular at the moment. This is either fantastic evidence for media collusion or...

Rioters maybe? In seriousness, they're using it in the same way that one might refer to "food porn". The article itself it pretty par for the course. Saying that the only reason why counter-protests are happening is that people feel justified opposing "racial justice" because of "cherry...

Barely even on fire. What was the chemical, gas? It matters a lot to determining how hot the flame will be, didn't quite look like gas though as the flame was too clean. Maybe kerosene.

"The ability to ignore politics is a privilege" Man, minorities are so privileged! 😭 I mean, if the former is true, then the latter logically follows...

According to the Hidden Tribes (Not sure how old their data is), the far left is 8%, the overall left is 34%, the far right is 6% the overall right is 40%, the center is 26%. https://hiddentribes.us/#americas-hidden-tribes

https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/article244740402.html To paraphrase an old joke a friend of mine once made: "Takes a lot to upset these people doesn't it?" 69 days in and now it's a riot...

That's the reality, but it doesn't answer the question. How do Leftists justify this? I recall Mortimer Adler once said "it's not enough to know that someone is wrong, you have to know why they think they're right". For instance: Here they are tying the supposed effects of racism to every...

Aside from being hilarious? It's an issue that is very divisive on the Left as well (or was a few months ago...), at the moment Antifa is far less so due to the selective media coverage.

Not weird actually. Very common de-escalation tactics. It's also why banks tell their employees to just give robbers whatever they want. Resistance against a desparate individual is likely to cause them to over-react violently. However, if the situation is as lawless as they say, then it...

To be fair to them, back tracking to center would at least signal that they've returned to the Ever-Left Cthulhu rather than the political blackhole they were aiming to become a few days ago. That would still be bad, but not catastrophic. Depends. Are the riots going to start losing them...

I doubt there is a unified perspective at the moment. From what I read, it seems as if Biden, specifically, is trying to make a differentiation between the protestors and the rioters. That's why he said that they should focus on finding the anarchists and arsonists. If this turns out to be...

https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-issues-statement-condemning-anarchists-in-portland-leftists-panic Something I haven't seen people talking about on here, probably because it's damn hard to find. A few days ago Biden said that we should "find, arrest & prosecute" all anarchists, arsonists...

It's only been since the riots started that I've learned about most of the far Left... hypothesizes. Does anyone actually know what the rationale is for being able to call racism a health issue? One explanation I heard was that it results in violence, another that it was a mental health issue...

"But she's basically white! 🤬" I mean, if they can call East-Asians white with a straight face then diversity is meaningless and it's all about black supremacy.

I like Pool's take on this. We should be greeting guys like this with open arms. He saw the light, baptized by fire. one of us, one of us, one of us! Or, you know, don't pick on centrists and moderates who just got back-stabbed by their nominal side and might be convinced to oppose the Leftists.

Depends on how much the system breaks down there. If the police feel like their civil leadership has betrayed them (not surprising at this point) and see the rioters invading the suburban neighborhoods where they themselves live... I could very easily see a kind of police coup de tat...

Eh, they have other laws that screw them over. For instance, they passed a law that heavily favors women in no-fault divorces. To the point where there is now a massive spike in the divorce rate which directly parallels the rate of single-mothers. This has also led to a direct growth in the...
