    That would be tantamount to trying to serve two masters and no one can serve both. God is unchanging but there is no guarantee that the America today will be the America of tomorrow. And what God wants for all is not what America is about.

    What's the purpose of even saying that? I never do and have no plan to tell someone God bless them after they sneeze......it makes not sense. I don’t believe in blindly obeying nonsensical traditions…..Jesus warned about serving Him in vain because of men’s traditions.

    Religious people are one of the worse kinds of people because they do things without even thinking about what it is that they are doing and why…….then they go around and try to impose or try to compel others to do it too.

    I think that you speak in riddles because you know that if you coherently made any of your points about your AIPAC conspiracy theory, that the silliness of your beliefs would be too obvious for you to defend them.

    It doesn't matter who I vote for in the United States because the government has very little power anyway. The people have the power in this country. Wealthy Americans are much more powerful than our government and that's the way it should be. Liberals are dangerous because they want to change that, but they are still mostly harmless due to our separation of powers.

    You think that just because Israel and AIPAC look out for their own best interests, that they are somehow involved in a giant conspiracy to that end. But you are clearly thinking with a liberal mind. One in which, looking out for ones own best interest is not the automatic default setting for every action. So you always think evil of the people who do. But in reality, they are just normal people trying to make their way through life. Of course, they are out for their own interests. Anyone who has not had everything handed to them their entire lives in that infamous liberal manner has learned to look out for their own best interests, because no one else will. Don't mistake it for a giant conspiracy when you see that the world is not all rainbows and marshmallows, as your liberal indoctrination might suggest.

    Come on ... You must be joking ......your taking the proverbial!

    Are you a comic, does these ridiculous arguments come to you naturally?

    You may wish to be marginalised and be treated as a slave, don't think for one second that you have any right to want the same for any sane and thinking person!

    We have a right and you obviously don't understand to be free and democratic!

    You are owned, no more needs to be said, a closed book is just that ....... closed!

    I maybe thinking clearly ... maybe with a liberal mind, but thats obviously better..... than the position your taking..... not thinking at all!

    To strive to reach for the moon and crashing is better that crawling on one's knees for fear of the obvious!

    The OP seems not to understand what the United States of America was founded on... freedom. And one of the many freedoms we have is to practice a religion or to live free of it.

    i did.

    i came to the conclusion, that any equally can come too. If you are claiming to know what 'god' wants, then you best be witnessing from 'god' himself, or you are of 'false witness'.

    Nothing to debate!


    Liars go extinct and all biblical like, too. Meaning, the liars are the bad guys them stories are talking about!

    Get the point? You're on the wrong side!

    You're gonna lose, no matter how ya slice it!

    Anyone that answer a question with another question it is because they are unable to answer the question.......that's my conclusion.

    THE SIX TYPES OF SOCRATIC QUESTIONS

    Due to the rapid addition of new information and the advancement of science and technology that occur almost daily, an engineer must constantly expand his or her horizons beyond simple gathering information and relying on the basic engineering principles.

    A number of homework problems have been included that are designed to enhance critical thinking skills. Critical thinking is the process we use to reflect on, access and judge the assumptions underlying our own and others ideas and actions.

    Socratic questioning is at the heart of critical thinking and a number of homework problems draw from R.W. Paul's six types of Socratic questions:



    1. Questions for clarification: Why do you say that?
    How does this relate to our discussion?
    "Are you going to include diffusion in your mole balance equations?"



    2. Questions that probe assumptions: What could we assume instead?
    How can you verify or disapprove that assumption?
    "Why are neglecting radial diffusion and including only axial diffusion?"



    3. Questions that probe reasons and evidence: What would be an example?
    What is....analogous to?
    What do you think causes to happen...? Why:?
    "Do you think that diffusion is responsible for the lower conversion?"



    4. Questions about Viewpoints and Perspectives: What would be an alternative?
    What is another way to look at it?
    Would you explain why it is necessary or beneficial, and who benefits?
    Why is the best?
    What are the strengths and weaknesses of...?
    How are...and ...similar?
    What is a counterargument for...?
    "With all the bends in the pipe, from an industrial/practical standpoint, do you think diffusion will affect the conversion?"



    5. Questions that probe implications and consequences: What generalizations can you make?
    What are the consequences of that assumption?
    What are you implying?
    How does...affect...?
    How does...tie in with what we learned before?
    "How would our results be affected if neglected diffusion?"



    6. Questions about the question: What was the point of this question?
    Why do you think I asked this question?
    What does...mean?
    How does...apply to everyday life?


    "Why do you think


    http://www.engin.umich.edu/~cre/probsolv/strategy/cthinking.htm





    questions are how you can learn.

    And you can start by applying all those to yourself and what you believe.

    Ignorance would be my guess. Point taken though.

    Only recently did morals and ethics evolve to the point that different peoples were considered to be of moral value. Thanks to technology bringing us all closer.

    I won't criticize what people did in the past when it resulted in a better today when we CAN recognize that each and every human life is to be valued. No one ever had enough power to fix it all and make it perfect. Human history is full of a bunch of people just rushing through trying to get by day to day who can hopefully leave it a little better than they found it.

    I find that the ones who stop and complain the most about how things are not yet perfect are also the ones contributing little if anything to the forward progress. Just a coincidence I suppose. I see no obvious link between those attributes.

    I don't see where technology bring anyone closer.......I see people who are so busily on their cell phone that they don't even have any time to converse with that is right next to them. You can't really know a person until you get to know them face to face. The kind of slavery that existed in the U.S was the worse of its kind and in most placed it was the oppressed that had to fight for their own liberation. African American had to marched and put their life on the line for something that by virtue of the fact that they were a human being and therefore had a right to. I don't see society getting more moral but the opposite.

    I don't see how the evil of the past lead to things being better today.......history is full of people who knew the difference between right from wrong and chose to do what is right. When people do what is wrong it is because they have chosen to do it regardless of who it hurts. The U.S have claim over and over how better they were from others but its own history shows that they are just as bad.


    Then you have those few who spoke out against what they saw and did not like and did something constructive about it. The masses tend to go along with the evil around them.
