I'm sure that he does.But such things have a habit of biting one in the backside in later years.But then, we are all eventually bitten in the backside by something, I suppose.Such are our tenuous existences.
Maybe you need a workout for your backside against such threats.

A war crime could be defined as "causing some harm to some civilians", with civilians being those who arent part of military.This is a very simple definition. We can all agree that causing harm to civilians is bad.But some people want to extend this definition by saying:"Its justified to harm civilians if it achieves some military goal".But the problem with this definition is that harm doesnt stop being harm even if it results in some good elsewhere.
A war crime is a violation of the laws and customs of war, or international humanitarian law (IHL), that occurs during an armed conflict. It's a crime that incurs individual criminal responsibility under international law. War crimes can be committed against individuals or property, and the definition of what constitutes a war crime can vary depending on whether the conflict is international or non-international.

You said he wanted to be a religious leader. So is it he wanted to be or is he considered that by those that are lacking in knowledge?
Jesus was fascinated by Judaism even as a child.
The Bible depicts Jesus, at the age of twelve, visiting the Temple in Jerusalem. He was found there, "listening to them and asking them questions" with the teachers. Jesus's parents were amazed by his understanding and answers, as were the teachers. This event is described in Luke 2:41-52.

Christians follow a man, named Saul of Tarsus, who was a jew, but who abandoned the faith, and opened up early Christianity (A sect of Judaism) into a wholly different faith, Christianity.I suspect, Saul felt the sect would die if more weren't allowed to join. Therefor he got rid of circumcision, sabbath, kosher, and many other things required of jews, to make the faith appear more welcoming to Gentiles, and it worked. Gentiles joined fast, and the faith spread steadily.
There would be no Christianity without Jesus.
Yes, Christianity is founded on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. While he was a Jewish preacher and teacher, his followers proclaimed him as the incarnation of God and the Messiah, and their belief in his resurrection was the foundation for the Christian faith.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Jesus's ministry:
Jesus's ministry involved preaching the coming of the Kingdom of God and teaching a message of love and compassion.
The concept of Messiah:
After his crucifixion, Jesus's followers believed he had risen from the dead and was the Messiah prophesied in Jewish scriptures.
Early Christian community:
This belief led to the emergence of a community of followers who considered Jesus to be the Son of God and the founder of their new faith.
The evolution of Christianity:
Over time, this early Christian community developed into a more structured religion, with its own beliefs, practices, and traditions

How come the American left supports self determination for Canada and not for Crimea?Because Trump. That's as deep as their thinking goes. They see Trump support something so they do the opposite. The right hated Obama and we gave him our. Full support when he killed Saddam Hussein the left would never do the same.
Americans respect Canada more.

It said it's impossible to predict hyper inflation or even deflation, and there's the possibility of extreme wealth inequality. Of course society can always change the rules but that's not always a guaranteed outcome.
Hope Trump understands that.

FYI, for my 20th year running, I celebrated Earth Day [4/22] by turning on every light inside and around my property for five minutes just to snub Mr. Al Gore, the Inconvenient Truther, whose AlGoreGooeyJuice to replace petroleum I await with panting breath.
Mild way to protest. It won’t hurt the climate or take away the Nobel prize from Al Gore.

According to modern canon law, popes—like all Catholic priests—cannot marry. The Church requires a vow of celibacy, which means a commitment to live without marriage or sexual relationships. So when people ask can popes marry? the official stance is firmly: they do not and cannot.
When Trump found that out he shortened his stay and left immediately with Melania.

"Jesus said the meek will inherit the earth ""But not its mineral rights."J. Paul GettySorry couldn't resist.
Inheriting the Earth:
This phrase doesn't necessarily mean inheriting land in a literal sense. Instead, it points to the blessings of living in God's will and enjoying the fulfillment of His promises both in this life and in the life to come.
God's Kingdom:
"Inheriting the earth" ultimately refers to entering God's Kingdom, a place of peace, justice, and righteousness that is promised to those who follow God's teachings.

You still have not answered my question about what makes a sales tax a "perfect" sales tax, what is the difference.
Which type of tax is most efficient?
Some economists argue that taxes on consumption are always more efficient than taxes on income, because the latter have a greater disincentive effect.

Did his Stepdad daft Joe go to the trial?Never hear much of daft Joe these days.Are there any reliable eyewitness accounts?Probably had to move away for a big carpentry job.Maybe daft when it comes to women, but does a damn fine mortice and tenon.
His father, Joseph, was deceased by the time Jesus began his public ministry. So he was not held accountable.

How come the American left supports self determination for Canada and not for Crimea? If one consistently backed self determination, then they would not only support Canada being independent, but they would also support Crimea joining Russia (as well as any other areas that wanted to join Russia that are in Ukraine).If your primary ethos is self determination for national borders, then be consistent with it. But virtually nobody is.
America has no say in the future of either country.

Acts 15 (Jerusalem Council) records Paul arguing against circumcision for Gentiles.Paul removed kosher obligations (Romans 14), Sabbath requirements (Colossians 2:16), and deliberately made Christianity accessible to Gentiles by discarding Jewish boundary markers.It worked: Gentiles flooded in, and the Jewish identity of the movement vanished within a generation.
True Christianity identified with non kosher and freedom from circumcision. But Islam embraces food restrictions and circumcision and Muslims will soon out number Christians

What do you mean Jesus wanted to be a religious leader?
Yes, Jesus is generally considered to have been a religious leader. He taught and interpreted the Law of God, debated with religious leaders, and gathered followers, including the twelve apostles, according to Christian tradition. Jesus was seen as an itinerant teacher who spoke with divine authority and was often called "rabbi".

Even though Paul should be credited for the spread of Christianity. He based it on the life and teachings of Jesus giving credit entirely to Jesus.

Yes, he affects my reality. I believe in God and I serve his wishes to the best of my ability.He affects others, too. A good example is this question. If God didn't affect your reality, then you wouldn't have asked this question.
If God did not affect Jesus’s reality. Jesus would have avoided crucifixion.
John 12:49-50
For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”

A5: Canadians will never become American! End of story!R5: Emotional argument. Who cares? Your emotions don't and shouldn't matter; quit being a retarted Karandian (Karen Canadian). You were slapped too little as a child and that needs to change. Stop caring about your feelings; they're irrelevant. Grow a thick skin you fucking pussy! When you base your arguments on emotion, you become hypocritical and you don't care. You even defend the hypocrisy and then accuse MAGA of being hypocritical. Don't be a retard! Don't form ideology based on emotion you fucking spoiled pricks!
Canadians care. Canadians enjoy a life better than most Americans. Higher education, healthcare and freedom.

So, read a book, find somebody besides me with an economics degree, it’s even as simple as using Google, they will all tell you that a sales tax is a regressive tax, and none of them will say except for “in real dollars” and not if “all money is meant to be spent”.
Yes, sales tax is generally considered a regressive tax. This means that it affects low-income individuals disproportionately compared to high-income individuals. While everyone pays the same sales tax rate on goods and services, it represents a larger percentage of a lower-income person's budget than it does for a higher-income person.

The federal government considers "basic groceries" to be zero-rated which means there is no GST or HST on those items. Whether or not you already know that there are no taxes on certain groceries, you might not know all of the food and drink products you don't pay tax on in Canada.Which would make the sales tax progressive, the opposite of regressive.
That is if you live in Canada.

Read what you posted about your personal experiences.
I never asserted that my personal experiences were fact, not ever. A personal experience by definition would be ones own opinion. Are politicians more honest as a whole or less honest as a whole? Add what percentage of them swear? My personal experience is that almost none ever swear and most are deceptive liars. Is this a fact I can prove? No. How many people would disagree?

I specified a sales tax that avoids loopholes. That would mean all consumption is sales taxable. There are loopholes for income tax, too, it's really not that different.
