If Republicans think that god made trump president - how good is God, seriously?

birdingnut comments on May 10, 2018:

Are you kidding? I'd say they're acting EXACTLY like their Christian god. Religious people say god "loves" them but that same god will torture them in hell forever if they mess up in the slightest in this life. They say to love others as you love yourselves, but to reject anyone who doesn't ...

Marine replies on May 10, 2018:

So very true he is not an all loving god he even destroys churches.

God is not good, if you read the bible you would soon know that he is, jealous, revengeful and have no qualms about killing anyone who doesn't worship him.

I've never been able to figure out why, or how, we have a provision for the separation of church and state, yet they pray at the beginning of so many government functions and events. It has bothered me since my childhood. Why can't they just keep religion private and at home?

Thank you for your post...I'll forgive the 'ladies' comment. Male rape is a thing too safly, massively underreported and extremely damaging. We need to stop thinking this is about sex. It isn't. Rape is a violent crime and is about power.

Not trying to be smug rather I am very in favor of all womens rights and have worked on there marches etc. The point I was making is so many of these creeps get away with their crimes because they go un reported allowing these creeps the advantage to repeat over and over their crimes.

Marine replies on May 9, 2018:

Unfortunally it is impossible to feed the world using organic farming techniques. There just isn't enough manpower, to meet the challenge.As I stated aboue these poisons have allowed us to feed most of the world and now we must do more reseach to find a safer way to produce the required amount of food needed.

Great science but it took a lot of research that was funded.

Marine replies on May 6, 2018:

@Lukian No I am saying that the trumpie has cut funding to so many projects it is crimial. Many new results are the result of pure science that is research with no particulate aim in site. These funds have been cut almost to nothing.

Marine replies on May 4, 2018:

I have knowledge of so many research projects shut down because of cut funding by the government.Most of these deal with clean energy and pure science research which does not have known results until they happen. However this is where new products and cures come from.

Why is it that we do not hear scientists defend their postions more often.

zeuser comments on May 4, 2018:

Jesus, people go to restaurants where menus have pictures of the food. Having said ...

Marine replies on May 4, 2018:

Zeuser you are so correct however the science community also needs to realize that without their help the common person does not have as much clout. They need to do more to get the politicians to support their cause especially those who do pure science research which produces new products and cures.

Why is it that we do not hear scientists defend their postions more often.

DuchessNyx comments on May 4, 2018:

I feel like that's something that depends on what kind of science and how dependent society is on it, and likely has a little to do with the fact that much of it is something most won't be able to understand unless it's developed into a product they can use somehow. That, and: 'Dey bizzay!

Marine replies on May 4, 2018:

Pure science that has no known outccome is what produces new products and cures and should be the one funded the most.

Why is it that we do not hear scientists defend their postions more often.

Clauddvon comments on May 4, 2018:

Because there is less money in the scientific community than there is in the religious community (the ones most frequently disputing hard science). Money wins.

Marine replies on May 1, 2018:

The only reason is the investments of the billionaires will never let us remove them and the base serves as a forward deployment toward Russia since we are going to lose Turkey soon.The latter is very upset with us supporting the Kurds. The SA is the only base in the area then .The other airbase in one of the stans will close if we depart Afganistan.

Had we let the Russians stay in Afganistan, 9/11 might never have happened. The more we mess around with stuff, the more we screw things up. I don't know how much is necessary. We had troops forward deployed for logistical reasons that a no longer as big a factor as they were in the 1950s. We ...

Marine replies on May 1, 2018:

Your comments are so true however I still believe in forward deployment. They the government wastes so much like killing the A10 fighter plane which is one of the most respected fighter planes ever made. Then trhey will start a program to replace it costing billions and divert money from the Navy that needs some money that could come out of the proposed budget. They have supplies in ware houses that they are ordering new material for and this is just waste.They need an outside audit to see where this money is being spent and hold these Congressmen and women accountable.
