I am literally asking. You may be right and I have to do more research but you said Jews have caused mass death.

    Battle of Jericho? Battle with the Amalekites? Not a religious experts but pretty sure the Jews started those in an attempt to exterminate “enemy” tribes.

    I mean, I’m pretty agnostic-bordering-on-atheist, so I haven’t had much kool aid (PS, green lemon-lime Kool Aid is the GOAT).

    I personally think the hypocrisy and failure to adhere to principles of Jesus is what is wrong with modern Christianity. Jesus seemed like a cool dude. It would be good if we forgave more, helped those in need more, etc.

    Also, Christianity has been the punching bag of society and is a shell of its former self today because most Christians are far too forgiving of others and their transgressions. I can even state this hating the goddamn thing. Acting as though it’s akin to Islam means you haven’t read the books, you’re ignorant, both, or just accept what others tell you. Read up, brotha.

    Recent history? Perhaps you make some decent points. In the last 2,000 years Christianity is responsible for at least as much death as Islam. Perhaps more.

    Religion and death are tied together throughout history.

    At the same time the American consumer continues to behave very optimistically. Real personal consumption expenditures were up at a 5.3% annual rate in Feb despite high headline inflation. Up 2.4% over the last year. And remain > CBO's pre-pandemic forecast (chart is per capita).

    https://x.com/jasonfurman/status/177...105191623?s=20

    Why the HELL are so many Americans living the high life and spending like it when the economy is SHIT?!?!

    We are desperate people and our only solution is to vote for the January 6 guy. Maybe if things were better we wouldn't be forced to take such a big risk. History will understand.

    Do you have kids? Would you rather raise them here or Iran?

    We live in the here and now. I’m not talking about hundreds of years ago.

    The United States is a rich country and Iran is not.

    Would you rather have your kids raised in Brazil or in America? Same question. Same answer.

    So you ignore history and then tell people to “read up Bro”. Fascinating.

    I’d raise my kids to think for themselves whether I was in the US or anywhere else for that matter. No indoctrination to any institution of any kind. They will observe and learn and when they grow up can make their own decisions.

    Are feminists bad because the first ones were akin to terrorists?

    Dude, try not being so bad faith. It’s not hard to do.

    Also, you don’t understand human nature at all. Most secularists are ideologically possessed despite believing the contrary.

    Yes, because I was talking about money. Not necessarily, oh I don’t know, policy or gender norms or religious institutions. Great non answer.

    Favorite place to go in Chicago - guaranteed to feel like you're going to get whacked during your meal. Love that place.

    Poorer countries by and large suck at freedom. Rich countries by and large are better at freedom. Some, like the muslim countries, base it more on religion than on other things. But freedom is freedom.

    https://freedomhouse.org/explore-the...=fiw&year=2024

    Your choice to just focus on islamic countries.
