Anders - You know you have offered a nuanced response when you get +4 and -4
IMO the liberal left are not 'woke' they are sound asleep to the real danger to liberal values. They are going to have to seek common-cause with conservatives if the neo-Marxists are to be defeated. There is an existential danger to liberal democracy.
most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.

That is literally insane.
being raised a dub i never voted.
i’m not a republican or a democrat, not a liberal or a conservative.. i’m pretty middle of the road.
i want everyone to have a fair shake if possible in this life, but i definitely don’t believe in forced equality, that’s just not possible.
There was a compelling case to create a homeland for Jews, even more so after WWII. They were persecuted everywhere.
Palestinians have been intransigent at every turn.

And your definition of morality is your own not God's.
If morality means anything it involves concern for the needs and well-being of others.
Slavery - the ownership of another human being to be used as chattel - is immoral. Your god approves of slavery.
Kidnap and rape is immoral. Your god approves of kidnap and rape.
Infanticide is immoral. Your god approves of infanticide.
Therefore your god is immoral and so must his son be too.

Anna M - I have read the bible in its entirety many times.
If you disagree that the god of the Old Testament - the god and father of Jesus Christ - was not a moral monster then I can only assume you have never read it.
God condones slavery. Slavery is a moral outrage. Therefore I am more moral than your god.
Read your bible before you slander me by calling me a liar.

The values of Jesus Christ are all good - Anna M
Yahweh of the Old Testament was the 'god and father' of Jesus. Jesus did not do a single thing of his own initiative but only as he heard from the father.
Yahweh prescribed genocide, kidnap, rape, slavery and the mass murder of infants.
How could Jesus - who never once condemned slavery - have values that were 'all good'? I am more moral and ethical than Jesus and his god and - I trust - so are you.

I don't believe in evolution.
I also don't believe in germ theory or gravity or that the earth is not flat.
These things are all just facts that do not require our belief or approval. They remain true even if we decide to reject them.
Also belief in a creator is not at odds with accepting the fact of evolution. The vast majority of xtians accept the fact of biological evolution.

i was wondering about this.
if california or other far left groups in charge would push for making pedophiles quote normal unquote.
so it passed but has yet to be signed by newsom.
surely that’s a slippery slope argument?
Sometimes fears of slippery slopes are justified.
i have always felt trump will win again.
i just don’t see biden winning.. what’s your prediction?.
I am hoping for an entertaining Trump v Biden live debate.
Total nightmare for Biden's camp. Of course if I was American I would try to be more mature about the choice but I'm not so I get to eat popcorn and point and laugh.
Your choice is a bit like judging an ugly baby contest.

Earnest thanks for the clarification.
It still seems like a mistake to pass a law that makes it even remotely possible for an adult to have sex with a 14 year old and not be registered as a sexual predator.
The practice of gay men grooming teenage boys is a real issue that needs addressed by more rigorous application of law not less.
