A word of encouragement for all those who hate Donald Trump

Ecclesiastes 2:18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. 19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

God is speaking to you, it is all vanity, you need to turn to the Lord, to something eternal. What is the point in giving your whole life to build up something only for the next president who comes along to knock it all down? Hey, don't blame God or MAGA or Christians for Donald Trump, God warned you in Ecclesiastes written thousands of years ago that this was the case and it was definitely the case for Solomon. Yes, he was the wisest man on earth, but his son who succeeded him was one of the biggest fools in human history. So then, you were warned. Blame yourself for not listening to the Bible.

God is speaking to you,
Who is "you"? God made this clear to me decades ago while also telling me such things as these:

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. (Prov. 13:22 NKJ)

Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD. (Prov. 19:14 NKJ)

When the great orange one makes us lose every Ally we have
I see why the rest of the world hates Americans

Agree nation to nation if this how the USA is going to behave, erratic, irresponsible other nations will move away and form other unions which is already happening.

Yeah the rest of the world is not too impressed right now.

But let's not kid ourselves, the USA gives/protects for its own self-interests, even as its own corporations and leaders have over the past 60 years (post Kennedy) have slowly sold it out.

Look at the clown show we have in office. A guy who bankrupted four casinos, a guy who did a Nazi salute on worldwide TV, A guy who thinks vaccines cause autism as head of department of health, A WWE promoter for department of education.
Switzerland built the hadron collider in Americans think science is satanic.

Oh and remember when Elon said empathy is a weakness? I know I get slammed a lot on here for being liberal but conservatives are incapable of empathy which is why I'm not conservative

Spoiled Americans all they think about is where they'll get their next meal.
Im getting mine from my fridge. 🙂 Anyone in the US who is hungry can find food. If they cant find a job how about a welfare office? Biden fixed it where even illegals can eat. At least until evil Trump sends them back.

This has to do with quite a lot actually.
Because it shows how rational people are. There are also unknown layers to this, which are difficult to understand in text.
But the prominent person who was a flat earther ( can't remember his name now but i can find him if i search hard enough) wanted to prove that the earth was flat and died in some freak accident while trying to prove that.
He was wrong of course, but the interesting part comes after his death when his public relations person said that he was basically "trolling" or "joking" about the whole flat earth thing and did it as a way to attract advertisers and to fuel his addictions which were extreme sports.
He was one of those daredevil RedBull guys who did these crazy stunts.

So, if we assume that one is joking about this then we are okay because we know it's a lighthearted discussion and maybe an ice breaker as i mentioned to him. Like, you'd be a lot of fun at parties basically when you start with the flat earth topic.
But then the question becomes: how far do you want to push the joke? Do you even want to admit that you're joking or you wanna be like Andy Kaufman til the end?

Then the other part which is worse is that there are people who are not or may not be joking about the whole flat earth thing.
That's even worse!

That's why it has to do with rationality and credibility.
Also logic. Such debates frequently expose flaws in reasoning and logic, from who has the burden of proof with respect to the claimed shape of the Earth, and then other logical fallacies invoked such as genetic and bandwagon fallacies (but there are often many more!) It can be a world of fun (or bitterness! :eek: ), 'though I'm not intending a retirement any time soon or in a manner like Andy Kaufman. :)

If you read the writings of the people in this Musk clique, you will see how elitist they truly are, they think by virtue of their success they have the right to rule everyone else.

Makes me sick that he stated "empathy is weakness" that is how a narcissist thinks, which makes me wonder :unsure: they say narcissists are drawn to other narcissists.

Any Christian admiring, defending Musk needs to go back to the Bible. End of Story.

Then stop cutting programs that feed poor people. But I already mentioned that

Donald posted this a couple of days ago: ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL! I thought he said something about being a Christian. Whoever voted for him because they thought he would bring Christian values back to the US were seriously bamboozled. More like bringing satanic values to the US.

I look at this way, in the grand scheme of things this to me as Christian, the callousness that it embodies, is yuck and consequential.

Believing the earth is not a sphere I do not think has a lot of societal consequence.

My view anyway.

Where we differ here is why I consider Flat Earth to be of greater consequence - my view is that the godless lies of the Big Bang, Evolution (and to come - Aliens) could not have survived or survive without incubating within the lie of Heliocentrism.

The person claiming the Earth is flat has the burden of proof. The Greeks figured out about 2,000 years ago that the Earth isn't flat

There is always a lot of progression in the lies, one upon the other, however I am not sure that a spherical earth is a stepping stone to denying God is real, but I have not looked into it so I am a bit of an agnostic on the whole discussion.

I think I am just focused on the Geo-politics of the here and now and where it is bringing us. :cautious::(
