I'm just like Trump, it doesn't matter what I say, it's automatically wrong because I say it? Yes. Finally, you begin to understand.

Yes. Finally, you begin to understand. Except it's not solely because Trump and marc said it (and hence are playing that stupid hypocritical "I'm a victim!" game which is virtually identical to "true Christians'" stupid hypocritical Christian persecution game), but rather because both have such a long history of being so incredibly wrong in every way possible. It's like approaching every creationist claim like it's just another lie. Experience has taught us that that is the safe bet and best practice. Assume that they're lying until you can verify their claim or statement. Lend any credence to what they say only after you have found it to be true. Yeah, like they would ever make a truthful statement! Edited by dwise1, : Added to last sentence " and best practice. Assume that they're lying until you can verify their claim or statement.

marc2k writes: Their goals for America scare the living shit out of me. Those assholes are passing laws making it legal to run down protesters with a motorized vehicle, for fuck's sake!
See what I mean? Please link me to these "laws". Your 4 approval dot providers should be able to help you. Please include more vulgar words. Multiple news sources report that "Republicans in Oklahoma's State Senate last week passed an "intimidation" bill which grants immunity to drivers who hit protesters." GOP lawmakers in Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, Utah and Florida have either introduced or already passed bills that increase penalties for protesters and provide legal protection for even potentially violent counter-protest measures.

Say What?
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.”
- Criss Jami, Killo “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
(1894).

Yes but in defense of Marc, what gives *you* the high ground? And what makes 50% of us wise and 50% of us foolish?

In which case I'll just keep observing these exchanges....pity if I have to wait 6 months for Marc to engage again, however. I'm likely as close to conservative as anyone else he will find here.

I'm in the middle of something else right now and was just scanning through the thread as a way of taking a break, but I have to reply to this. Marc is repeating lies and falsehoods, and now we find out after spending considerable time beginning to nail down the specifics of his lies and falsehoods (it's tough because he ignores old ones and adds new ones at a considerable rate) we find that he's just going to abandon discussion. I began by asking him if this was a drive-by and he said no. I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football but tricked again. --Percy

What gives you the impression that there are two sets of facts? That there is division? Huh??? Whatever gave you that nonsensical idea?
That there is division? The only division I know of is between reality and delusion. Normals stick with reality. The delusional lose themselves in delusion. Are you trying to argue for delusion?
That only some are persecuted? What? Nothing I have written has anything to do with any actual persecution. Rather, we have all these fakers who keep screaming that they are being persecuted. "Conservative voices are being silenced" while they are practically the only voices we can hear. "Christians are being persecuted" just because they are no longer being allowed to persecute non-Christian (or vulnerable minorities within the Christian community).
What is it that makes Marc 100% wrong when he only uses 50% of the facts to begin with? He doesn't even begin to use 50% of the facts. Nor 10%. Nor even 1%. Basically, when someone uses only falsehoods, then how can anything they say not be wrong?

Re: Say What?

Oklahoma passes a law that can protect drivers who run over protesters. An interviewee remarked that his child recently asked him how the Nazis could have ever taken power. His reply was "Just look at what's happening now."
