Walker is pathetic, but serving as a Senator carries responsibilities that affect millions of lives. Putting up a joke, or a psychotic, or a malignant narcissist demonstrates disrespect for the other party and for the system as a whole. The GQP are now anti-democratic, and deploying an idiot like Walker is another form of sabotage.

racocn8 comments on Jun 16, 2022:

Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Notice how Adam and Moses are mentioned in one breath. The author of Romans believed that Adam and Moses were real people rather than symbols or allegories. The passage also states that death started with Adam. This refers to the phrase, “The wages of sin is death.” It is Adam’s Original Sin that brings about the existence of death. Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life. Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Adam’s Original Sin is “one man’s offence,” the “offence of one,” and “one man’s disobedience.” Original Sin generates the reign of death over the living, God’s judgment, and God’s condemnation. It is entirely reasonable to believe that the relevant passages Dawkins notes had usually been interpreted literally.

racocn8 comments on Jun 15, 2022:

Why does anything exist? The Big Bang hypothesis accounts for much of what we see. The story is far from complete. However, a purely naturalistic explanation has worked for most of it, and the need to invoke a supernatural explanation is unsupported by any facts. Those claiming a god have the burden of proof, but they don't even have any evidence! If a God had a hand in creation, that would still be far from that being the same as the god of the Bible. The whole of the Bible can be discarded due the the quantity and quality of the errors in the dogma and the history. That claim is readily applied to all religions. Invoking a god to create existence does not provide any actual explanation. It has no explanatory value. We still don't have means, mechanism or motive/purpose. Saying "God did it" explains exactly nothing. What it does do is to provide a segue to proselytizing, and has never served a different purpose.

Or, it's all stored in the collective unconscious which resonates and harmonizes with the circuits described above.

People agree on what's real or the don't. Christians don't. And unless you corner them, Christians WON'T agree what's real. Plus they layer on all these fantasy myths of demons, angels, Saints, visions, miracles... a whole store of horse shit. What might have been a cogent human being becomes a delusional psychotic. And the cults manipulate these psychotic individuals for their own nefarious purpose (i.e. killing abortion providers).
