The difference between a Christian and an atheist
As Christian grows up, he reads the Holy Bible. This gives him the perfect moral system and clear instructions in life. He knows exactly what to do and what not to do. He knows that he cannot lose in this life because he is a believer. This gives him confidence. This gives him foundations for knowledge. The Christian is great at life because he follows the creator of life.
As atheist grows up, he has no guidance or manual of life. He even becomes ignorant and denies the moral system of the Bible just because it is from the Bible. Atheist, having no moral system, cannot succeed in life. He does not know how. He has no book to gain proper knowledge from, since only Bible contains proper knowledge and he denies it.
The perfect moral system of the Holy Bible
"Thou shall not kill" - a perfect command to make perfect society. The moral system based on an increase of life and the saving of life is the perfect moral system. The fact that our God defined the perfect morality in one single sentence proves how superior our God is.
This perfect morality that is the foundation of knowledge that every Christian has, provides Christians with great power to create perfect society and have a perfect life.
This moral system based on an increase of life is logically the best, and also best economically and best for survival of society.
Perfect knowledge of the Bible
The Holy Bible defined the welfare policies being: clothes, house, food, water, medicine and the word of God.
These welfare policies make people more supportive of the system and their country, increasing productivity and loyalty and satisfaction. Societies that dont have welfare policies have proven themselves to be failing societies, since the poor people there are more unhappy, the rich more greedy.
The Holy Bible defined the perfect economy: hard work, simple life and sharing.
This is the foundation of every economy. Hard work creates great profit. Simple life lowers the costs. Sharing creates friends and allies.
The Holy Bible defined proper hierarchy in society: commanders of tens, fifties, hundreds and thousands.
Hierarchy is necessary in society. The Bible explained how hierarchy is created properly so that management is done easily on a local level. Hence, why central government with plenty of small local governments is superior to central government alone. In this way and in later writings, Bible confirmed the superiority of state made from communes.
The Holy Bible defined consequentialism, providing us with correct thinking: tree that gives good fruit and tree that gives bad fruit.
In this way, Bible also defined experiments and statistics. "The results matter" is the principle of the Bible and a perfect basis for science.
The Holy Bible explained to us the basics of message spreading. Jesus set 12 disciples to spread his message everywhere. Those 12 disciples each then employed workers and their workers employed more workers under their service until the message was spread throughout the world.
Christians cannot lose. We can win and only we can win.
What can you do to me that can harm me?
If you torture me, you increase my reward in heaven.
If you kill me, you send me to heaven immediatelly.
If you dont kill me and dont torture me, I will then enjoy this world as well as the next world.
The success of the Holy Bible in its superior wisdom proves that atheists are indeed foolish for rejecting it and are doomed to failure. Atheists have nothing to gain in this life or the next. Christians will win always, since they worship the creator of life and the founder of logic and love.

God punishes children for the crimes of their parents, and if children repent for the crimes of their parents and seek mercy from God they will be granted mercy and many blessings.
If children are true believers, they go to heaven.
As written in the Bible: believer will never perish.
In fact, believers cannot possibly be harmed in this world.
If you torture me, you increase my reward and glory in heaven.
If you kill me, I go to heaven immediatelly where I will enjoy and never be tortured again.
If you dont torture me or kill me, then I enjoy in this world as well as the next.
I profit in every scenario. I am in the position where I cannot lose.
I win in this world too over atheism, since Bible is the perfect manual for life that only Christians can understand. Atheists dont have the manual. Thats why they cannot win.
The moral system presented in the Bible (the increase and preservation of life) is the most perfect moral system just as the Bible is the most perfect book.
In fact, Bible even explains the principles of consequentialism in the most simple way: the tree that gives good fruit and the tree that gives bad fruit.
The fruit of atheism is the collapse of both society and morality.
"By their fruits you will know them."

Even our poor people relieze that the rich tended to earn their wealth by making the world a better place, so they don’t want to take what is not theirs.
Then you dont have to worry about socialism taking over in the USA, no?
Created:

@TheUnderdog
Yeah, because our schools never taught the evils of socialism that well.
Better start teaching it, but even that wouldnt prevent people from demanding socialist policies. USA is a country of democracy. People will naturally be more willing to vote for wealth redistribution.
It’s because they want to steal from the makers (the buisiness owners; without whom people would be hunting for food).
Thats what happens when you create a system based on greed. People become greedy and want the wealth. Wealth redistribution does not destroy the buisness owners. It reduces their wealth, so that others may have some too.
I don’t want to give my wealth to spenders.
If great majority of people become poor and you become rich, and you live in democracy, its obvious that people will take the wealth for themselves.
Socialism failed in Cuba. I think you should tour Cuba and see the effects of socialism. You don’t want that brought here
The people will bring socialism to USA. There is no "Cuba is failing" in their minds, when capitalism destroys their wealth and doesnt allow them to aquire wealth.
Usually, billionaires donate the vast majority of their wealth to charity.
Usually takes a lifetime for that. People want results now, not having to wait 50 years until some capitalist dies.
This is why poverty is very common in places that don’t respect private property
No democracy respects private property of a buisness, not the US nor any other. Its not in nature of democracy.
She votes red because she experienced American freedom and she respects private property.
Well, if she respects private property, she shouldnt have come to USA. The USA is becoming more and more socialist.
This competition creates better products and services for we the people. Don’t be jealous if other people’s success; instead generate your own.
So people shouldnt be jealous? Tell that to the people who suffer their entire life while the capitalists have it easy.
Also, the system is made so that the vast majority of people cannot succeed.

I would say that USA is on the path of becoming socialist. More and more people believe in wealth redistribution and heavily regulated economy. If you look at popular opinions among youth, you will see that socialism is becoming increasingly popular.
The fallacy of capitalism is that it produces its own deathdealers: the socialism and the communism. Most of the people who are not happy with capitalism will choose socialism and communism. So what capitalism has to do is to make sure people are happy with capitalism. However, it fails to do that one thing. People are less and less happy with capitalism. They dont want a society of rich and poor. They dont want a society where someone inherits millions and gets to have the best of everything, while the little guy suffers. But what really deals a deathblow to capitalism is its ideology of competition. Competition makes people jealous, since it creates winners and non-winners. The wealthier the winners, the more jealous is everyone else.
Capitalism could even fail on another thing. As AI becomes implemented, there will hardly be a need for workers. Why pay a worker when you can buy a robot that can work for 24 hours a day and better than human. At that point, any country that invests in robots to replace workers will have great advantage in its economy and production.

Well, finally they remembered that they can negotiate the prices.
I am actually tired of governments being stupid and letting private companies set prices as they please.
That being said, Biden might wanna negotiate other prices too. Insulin okay, but I dont use insulin.

I know, I just find it funny that two persons can look at same video and literally see things differently.
I wonder does it affect the experience in cinemas.
I already knew that people can hear things differently based on distance from the speakers, the quality of speakers, and people's hearing quality.
But it also seems that things just look better when viewed at one angle, and worse when viewed at the other angle.

Well, you dont have to believe in the Bible's version of history. However, I do believe in the Bible because the Bible confirmed itself with accurate knowledge. The knowledge from the Bible is useful, and the story of Moses doesnt negate that.

Both Marx and Bakunin agreed:
Society should be made from small self-governing communes. Each commune is to own its means of production and regulate its territory. These communes are supposed to be small enough to allow easy management. So one commune would have around 50 - 100 people in it. They would regulate production, set prices of their products and manage problems.
Society would be consisted of these communes.
Now, where did Marx and Bakunin disagree?
Marx believed that after overthrowing capitalism, there should still be a state to ensure order and keep communes from fighting each other, as well as to protect the communes from capitalist invasion and influence.
Bakunin believed that state is to be abolished. After overthrowing capitalism, people would simply organize themselves in self-governing communes without any state.
Marx said that state is crucial for survival of communes.
Bakunin said that state would just turn into oppressive dictatorship.
Eventually, it was the Marx's wish that came into existence through revolution in Russia, China, Korea...ect.
After the revolutions and establishment of the communist state, Communist societies became something more than societies of communes. They became militarist societies, with arms race and Korea giving birth to Songun politics.
The communes still play a role in China and Vietnam, where some buisnesses are ran by communes.
The Bakunin's version of Communism, the self-governing communes without the state, didnt become reality. However, there were and there still are plenty of communes around the world that seem to be working fine.

I dont know if anyone else noticed this, but I discovered that if you change the angle from which you are looking at video, the video itself changes.
The more you turn your phone left/right, people in video get thinner. It also changes as you move the phone closer to eyes.

I am glad that we have a national socialist here now. My Communist ideology and other people's capitalism was a good thing, but yes having national socialist should spice things up more.

To confirm myself as town, and basically to check if whiteflame is town. It was risky, but it paid off.

Austin: Kenzo Tenma from Monster. You are a promising youth neurosurgeon working in a hospital. One day, you prevent Johan Liebert from nearly dying, a decision you come to later remorse. Because of your abilities in saving people, you are the Doctor.
Well, alright, alright.
So first you wanted for us to let you into DP4 to confirm yourself as vig, and now you admit you are not vig?

I am saying some roles can probably fit many characters and some characters probably fit many roles.
If we get full claim from austin, it better be a confirmable role.
If he cant confirm it, then first we get claims from crystal and Earth, and only then we decide who to lynch since we can only afford 1 mislynch and we better have over 50% chance on every lynch that follows.

You have determined That2's character, but what about That2's role? We still dont know what was That2's role as it was hidden.
If scum knows the role, I am assuming they are trying to fit it with their character, assuming the role can be fit.

The first Christian commune in the Bible was a community of hard working individuals who also had a duty to share their wealth with those in need.
Bible Acts 2 : 45
"42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Acts 2 45: "they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need."
This describes how society should work. There are those who are in need, and society helps them.
The needs, according to Bible, are: housing, food, water, clothes, medicine and the kind word. Kind word being primarily from the word of the Bible.

From my understanding, there are some explanations for why wylted didnt take that2's role as his own:
1) That2 role is not good
2) Wylted was sacrificed and scum is saving that2's role for final use.

At that point, we no lynch to make it:

Wasting time reading Harry Potter and 20 other books when you havent finished Bible yet is bad.
Even after finishing reading the Bible, one should read it again.
You never know when the knowledge from the Bible will be needed to you, so to have it at ready is useful.
Human memory is bad, so if you read other books too much, you will end up forgetting parts of the Bible.
Created:
Bible may have 2000 pages, but the chapters I laid out only have 400 pages in total so there is no excuse not to read them.
To make it even easier, download an app that has free audiobooks. Search for Bible in the form of audio book. Try to get the version of an app with no ads interrupting the reading.
