lack of convincing evidence and evidence against the resolution
defunding the police only hinders crime-fighting abilities, and there hasn't been any success, only failures

virtually everyone has the same bare-bone morals across all societies, and everyone just knows right from wrong from conciousness
if morality was subjective, then this would be the opposite

Christianity is true and the Catholic Church is the one church established by Jesus, therefore the Catholic Church is true

You haven't explained why Jesus wouldn't appear to disbelievers today when he had done so to one of his own disbelieving apostles who he had "blessed" for not believing Jesus had risen from the "dead"?. SEE>>>John20:29
I did, the disbelievers today show no effort to reach God, hence God will not reach out to them
You haven't explained why Jesus don't appear today to the devout and believing mother praying and begging on her knees to Jesus for the life of her child when he had done so to a person that had made it his life's mission to hunt down and murder members of Jesus' flock including women?
this makes no sense for a number of reasons
your argument is all over the place, all you do is take scripture and add objections that dont really matter and can be explained by the easiest theology

IF faith is sufficient to lead to truth and IF Catholicism is the truth that faith leads to THEN we would not expect faith to lead to other religious doctrines.
all other religions are wrong, faith does lead to the truth and the truth IS catholicism

yup, this happens all the time. The idea that if God just told me that he was real, then I would believe it, but of course why should he reach out to you, you gave no effort and don't believe in him, you failed the test

Why isn’t Jesus willing to show the disbelievers today the same degree of physical proof? Why should we be treated any different from Thomas –a disciple - and Paul a disbelieving persecutor and murderer of early Christians?
if you put in no effort to know Jesus, why should he reach out to you?

The American Dream was that you had the freedom to contribute to society in any way you chose without the government stopping you. That you could own and manage your private property without government interference.
nope, it wasn't. Government having more power means absolutely nothing. It was the dream that everybody can get a lively community, family, property, etc. What killed this dream wasn't some 30's court case that gave the government more power, it was a combination of poor fiscal policy, societal decline, and preying transnational corporations who shipped oversees.
In fact, little government influence to help solve the REAL economic problems like outsourcing is why it's dead, not that the government had more power.
America wasn't founded on the idea of small government. The government had more power back then than it does now! It was founded on liberty, the right to self-govern.

@RationalMadman
If we take your interpretation of the American Dream, then Obama made it attainable to far more than it ever was before, especially poor non-caucasians and females as well as pushing hard against any barriers to LGBTQ getting as many opportunities.
No, he didn't, wages were stagnant and jobs were cut to go overseas. He was a large part in killing the American Dream

@Death23
no, I want to take care of the American people, that starts with attacking big pharma and making healthcare affordable. Whatever Obama and the Dems were proposing obviously failed at that job.
I also want to know how they came to that conclusion in the study

@Double_R
that's not true at all. the "process" is a sham, it is just used as an attempt for hateful sick people in congress to attack a President AFTER he already served
if donald trump was treated normally, he would be in the office again

The American Dream is a sociopathic notion that the highest satisfaction in life comes from succeeding at any cost, ruthlessly outcompeting others and showing the losers no mercy. Rich car, rich house, elite friendship circle. That is what Obama tried to both prove wrong as an endgame-goal and enable, at the same time, impoverished people or otherwise held back minorities, so as to allow them a fair shot at the American Dream too.
How? the American Dream was never founded on selfishly destroying people, the basic idea of it was that it gave everybody who was willing to work and contribute to society a good community, family, neighborhood, stable living, and wages. The heavy majority of Americans didn't have a rich car, rich house, nor elite friendship circle- these were ordinary people who lived in a time of America where stable living could be achieved easily. Now with jobs overseas, a culture lacking morality or religion, and stagnant wages lead to the decline of the dream and when trump came around, it was dead. Obama continued the decline
Lies. Actually Iran owes debt to US as well as a couple other nations, thanks to Obama. If it wasn't for Obama, Iran would probably have had a war with US over what Trump did by continually shitting on their religion and sanctioning an illegal assassination of a war general of theirs while he was on Iraqi soil. It was Obama's previous mending of fences that let them homd onto hope Trump would be out of office soon and is probably the only reason peace was what ended up happening. Quality of life (average) was higher while the highest earning citizens had slightly lower (if you can even call it that).
There would never be any war with Iran, despite all the tensions, there is pretty much no way that a war could have broken out. Iran and Obama never got along too well either and he fumbled the whole middle east situation pretty badly.

@RationalMadman
I have a debate argument on this but simply Obama contributed to the decline of America in many ways- he promoted the welfare state and did nothing to combat the declining American Dream. The economic numbers aren't enough. The quality of life, debt, and general well-being of America declined. He brought us into more of the middle east and his foreign policy was atrocious, Obamacare-also bad, he simply didn't do anything to combat real issues and when he did-it was a failure
