So there is a right and wrong. Got it. You haven’t thought 10 feet ahead of your ideology.


Huh you have a scenario of you punching me in the face and I gave examples of it being right and wrong.......context determined morality not the action itself.

Your version of God is mean. You must be a fundamentalist
My “version” of God is the one the Bible proclaims, not one from the imaginations of men. He isn’t mean. He is both just and loving. You and others seem to think that God is unjust or that He owes us something that He doesn’t.

And I’m a Reformed Christian, not a fundamentalist.

You can sometimes tell the merit of a position by who it’s supporters are.

Human sacrifice isn’t tolerated under the constitution.

Right. But what you didn’t argue, in opposition to your earlier proclamation, was that punching you in the face isn’t right or wrong; it’s just a construct we’ve erected to keep society moving.

Because your internal philosophy is a mile wide and an inch deep.

Men imagined the Bible. They even edited books out of it.

Men were merely the instruments of God that God used to reveal His will to mankind. God wrote the Bible through men as they were carried along by the spirit of God. That means the Bible is the word of God, not the word of man.

As far as editing books out, I believe you are referring to the recognition of those books that are and are not inspired and considered the word of God. Considering there were false writings being attributed to apostles or other well-known Christians that were being distributed as the word of God but that contained obvious errors and contradictions to the established scriptures, it was necessary to identify those false writings and exclude them from the canon of scripture to ensure Christians weren't being led astray by false teachings masquerading as the word of God.

Fortunately, we have most if not all of those writings with us today so that we can compare them against recognized scripture. When you do that, it's pretty clear why they either aren't included in many Bibles or aren't considered authoritative.

Healthcare has become too expensive because of the pharmaceutical industry.


This is 100% correct, but it's also instructive to understand the mechanisms of how they accomplish this.

The insurance companies are absolutely in bed with Big Pharma.

People who are confused by the fact that insurance companies will pay out huge sums of money for invasive procedures but will fight paying out for preventative care don't understand how it works.

And people who thought Obamacare was anything but a complicit pork program for insurance companies (and a wealth redistribution program for citizens) REALLY don't understand how it works.

Obamacare put a ceiling on profits that pharmaceutical companies can make at1 15%. He's looking out for the little guy, right?

Not even a little bit.

Insurance companies are designed to pay out huge sums. Because that justifies them taking in even more. When you cap profits at 15%, you just incentivized insurance companies to make the game of paying out but taking in even more to an even more extreme level.

Because when your maximum take is 15%, you want that total number to be as big as possible.

Also, since Obamacare they have transferred the responsibility for medical expenses below about $8,000 per year to patients, which means they are mostly only paying out for expensive stuff, which is how they like it.

Before Obamacare it was unusual to see a BC/BS deductible for more than $750 a year. Now we routinely see them for $5k-$6k.

And that is part of the wealth transfer. Because all of us taxpayers are subsidizing the $5k deductible for the "less fortunate."

Great system. We could have just bought everyone in the country an individual BC/BS policy if they couldn't afford one and everyone's deductibles would still be less than $1,000. But that wouldn't have provided nearly the leverage to redistribute wealth.
