Christianity gave us dudes such as Stalin and Hitler.
No, they gave themselves, just happening to come from a Christian background, but they obviously left that behind as they began their hunger for power and authority over being meek and loving their enemies. It is blindness of that personal abandonment to accuse that Christ drove them; they drove themselves, just as those among us drive themselves by their own choices who are, likewise, hungry for power, pride, and possession..
What is in scripture, and what is or was actually practiced are two different things; an idea you do not explore as you speak against other religions. It was Christians who, over a thousand years ago, engaged in self-flagilation, asceticism, as an attempt to purify themselves, totally ignoring, even denying that Christ already atoned for them and such practice snubbed his effort. Asceticism is not repentance, and is not rewarded but forgiveness.It was Christians who engaged the Inquisition in the 12th - 18th centuries against themselves. It was Christians who went to the Holy Land in the 11th - 13th centuries centuries in the Crusades to restore Christianity by unspeakable violence. It was Christians who established Malleus Maleficarum [Hammer of Witches] in the 15th century, accusing and burning women and children for alleged witchcraft. Cathollics and Protestants have been at each others' teeth to this day, such as in Ireland, but also just about everywhere Christians gather, including in the US. In the Unired States, no other subject has occupied so many Supreme Court cases as the first amendment's "freedom" of religion, as if it is anything, but. And that, mostly at the door of Christianity. We call Jesus the Prince of Peace, but we have made of him the Prince of Pieces.
It is past time to change the tune.

First rule? No, the first rule is love your neighbor. But I understand why that was Feynman's first rule. He was a quantum physicist, concerned mostly with effects of super-cooled helium. He knew a good way to make a fool of one's self was breathing helium and thinking that resulted in a normal voice. When super-cooled, the effect is more pronounced.

Hahahaha.
Nothing I said was intended to be humorous. What I said is the truth. We're are much better off dismissing our differences in favor of what unites us. Personal selfishness is no more advisable than social selfishness, and that goes for every one of us.
Re: debate: Who is the funniest South park character?
I have tried to vote on this debate. When I try to place my vote, I receive immediate notice that I have already voted on the debate, yet the debate still reflects 0 votes.
I have exited the debate, re-entered, and tried to vote again, having the same result.
Please try to fix quickly; the debate is 3 days for end of voting.

Since that's also how they vote, pro is always at a huge disadvantage.
Having no experience in debate under your current username, at least in DA or here on DC, that opinion is flawed. Voters do not exist on an even plane of existence, and you assume Pro is always instigator. Neither condition is true.

Your premise is incorrect. You have engaged in 7 finished debates, 2 in challenge [both as instigator], 2 in debate [1 inst, 1 cont], and 2 in voting [both as inst.]
Of your finished debates, as instigator you have 1 win, 1 loss. As contender, you have 1 tie, 4 wins.
The leaderboard is not correct; it does nope account t for your one tie with Pierree re:Pantheism
We have varying degrees of voting talent, and voting is a learned behavior, so we cannot consider all voters as skilled in that function.
Your greatest issue, already mentioned by others, and, in my opinion, is your attitude about defining your terms [keywords] in a title [resolve] - you just do not take advantage of doing definitions. Never. You have even said in one debate, and mention in your #1 post of this string, that definitions can be changed by a contender, and you do that too, including in the 2 debates we have had now in voting. The fact is, definition is the privilege of an instigator and, once a debate challenge is accepted, the definitions, and all other parameters of the proposed debate are locked and cannot be altered, even by the instigator, and never by the opponent, and a skilled voter will recognize the attempt to change definition[s] and will deduct for it.

Genesis teaches us well enough in the Tower of Babel story that our better selves would learn to get along in spite of our many differences, because we have so much more in common. I the case of Arabs and Jews, they share ancestry, and many cultural similarities, but that really goes for all of us - the entirety of humanity. After all, we even share 99.9...% DNA and there is no race. That's been proven for over 20 years. When are we going to wake up?

your post #22:
Nope, not even close. My rendering [post #9] is direct from "Spells for the Coming Forth by Day," [SCFD] aka "The Egyptian Book of the Dead," Plate II, line 8, [pg. 10] which translates as "Homage to thee, king of kings, lord of lords, princes of princes, possessor of the earth."
By the way, in your first line "...Anubis/Osiris grants" the verb "grant" should be conjugated as a 1st person, plural rendering according to the Chicago Manual of Style [English grammar]. Chat GPT [or you] rendered it as 1st person, singular. One of you needs English grammar ere-programming, and it is certain ChatGPT programmers need to take a year [at least] of formal college coursework in Egyptian hieroglyph grammar. My textbook is "Egyptian Grammar" by Sir Alan Gardiner, Oxford University Press, 3rd ed., 1969. Also needed: about 50 years self-taught from the same textbook so they can properly re-program Chattrerbox.
The Chatterbox rendering is familiar language in the SCFD, what with "...an offering of bread, beer, cattle, and fowl," but that phrasing occurs often, and the book is 240+ pages of solid hieroglyphs, and, so far, I have not yet found the total phrase as Chatterbox rendered. I'll keep looking.

Thank you for your accusation that I am a dog. That's supposed to be thinking?
I pity the AI you program, for I am neither MAGA nor a dog. Fact that you don't know me for squat, but, carry on.
I agree with virtual everything you have said of Canada, however, consider two facts you cannot ignore, but have: Canada is larger than the US in area by 1M sq km, and the US is larger in population by 300M people, so all the "advantages" you claim of Canada is so because most of its territory is uninhabited and could not afford the "advantages" you claim for it were Canada the population of the US. The U&S is the 3rd most populated nation in the world behind India and China. Socialism [asking the population to foot the bill for those "advantages" will never abide successfully in the US.
It's all good. My argument is really directed to Sidewalker, anyway. And I respect Canada just as it is, and ought to remain so - all Canadian. I'm not sure I agree with our taking of the gulf; we don't even have most of its coastline; only about 48% of it.

What is the lie? Kimmel was an employee of Disney & ABC, not MAGA.
We'll let AI respond to your gross dishonesty.
Since AI cannot produce anything until programmed to do so, who did the programming? Probably a leftist elite, because, according to you, all of us right of center don't think at all, and are etile.

Hate to break it to you, but the ancient Egyptians ate honey-coated fruit on a stick thousands of years ago. A lollipop, if you will. So, Hitler in the mid-20th century? Sure, very possible on video. As for the camera, and moving pictures... well, now you're talking late 19th century - still pre-Hitler. Since history was taught in my childhood, surely it was in yours...

New songs, new videos is not adding to the body of knowledge. That's like saying you built a new house, but how long has the knowledge to do it been around? You're talking things. I'm talking the know-how if things. Different subject, entirely.
Might try actually reading the Book of Mormon, as you would discover it is a history from 2000 BCE to 5th century CE. Fascism dates only from the pre-mid 20th century. Will not find "racism" in it, either, as "race" does not exist at all, according to the Human Genome Project, concluded in 2003. But, maybe that is pre-history to you; I've been around since mid-20th century.
Tyler Robinson is a Mormon.
So what? So was/is Harry Reid. Try another; that one is old news [woke].
Can't find another descriptive, with the most verbose modern language in the world? "Woke" is your accusation? Utterly past tense.
50% of Canada is the letter A.
By that argument, only 10% of Sidewalker is the letter A.

You do know Kimmel was employed by Disney & ABC, yeah? That's who dismissed him for failure to be worth his salary in revenue collection. It's supposed to be profitable to be Jimmie Kimmel. When it's no longer so, that's when shyte happens. Welcome to the USA.
