Can your god affect reality?
-->
@Tradesecret
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.”

All arguments used to justify Canadian independence are either emotional or refutable

@RemyBrown
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.

Is a perfect sales tax actually regressive?
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.

Been convicted of sexual abuse

Been convicted a felon unanimously

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.

"You are casting doubt on your own person experience." Nope, I live by what is learned from my personal experiences.  What is learned  rarely fails me in life.
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.

Mature for my age.

Mature in thought, or comparatively more mature in terms of  physiological development?


Though some might argue, that we are all as mature as our age dictates.
Yes, it's common for some individuals to appear more mature than others, even at similar ages.
This can be due to factors like varying rates of development, life experiences, and individual coping mechanisms.
 
Additionally, societal expectations and the specific context of a person's life can also influence how they appear to others.

It remains an eyewitness account.

In so much as, what went down was witnessed by Jesus's boyfriend, who told someone else, who told someone else, who told someone else, who jotted it down and gave it to someone else, who translated it and jotted it down and  gave it to someone else, who translated it again and jotted it down and gave it to someone else.

Eventually it ended up being jotted down and included in a best seller, that was translated and transcribed into many languages many times.

Such is an eyewitness account.
Jesus was eventually crucified proving the blasphemy charges were real.

I'm ignoring capital gains tax, but that's because that tends to work separately from income tax. A sales tax + capital gains tax would function the same as an income tax + capital gains tax.

What makes a sales tax "perfect"?  What is the difference between a sales tax and a perfect sales tax?

Which best describes sales tax?
Sales tax applies when consumers purchase goods and services. It's a type of consumption tax, meaning it taxes people as they spend money, rather than on their income. A sales tax is also a type of indirect tax, which means it isn't paid directly to the government, the way income tax is.

Pope Francis
-->
@IlDiavolo
I admire the People's Pope. Pope Francis was seen as taking a more progressive stance on LGBTQ+ issues during his papacy. He famously said, "Who am I to judge?" in reference to gay individuals seeking the Lord, and he also stated that homosexuality is not a crime. He also approved blessings for same-sex couples and urged the inclusion of transgender people in the life of the church.
Ironically, great part of catholics, very conservative catholics, disliked this pope because of that.

I don't like his political posture, he's very lefty like you, but I agree with him about the inclusion of everyone.
The Popes ministry lasted 12 years. Jesus’s ministry only lasted 3 years before he was crucified. Be grateful.

Trump called veterans suckers and losers.
Well, Trump is a billionaire and they are not.
There is a reason for that.
Over the course of five decades, Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault, tax evasion, money laundering, non-payment of employees, and the defrauding of tenants, customers, contractors, investors, bankers, and charities. Also filed 6 bankruptcies. Trump paid 88.5 million to E.Jean Carroll for raping and defaming her. Trump was charged with paying hush money to porn stat Stormy Daniels to keep secret their sexual encounter while Melania was pregnant with Barron. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years .
Trump has been impeached twice, indicted 4 times with 91 felony counts. Ordered to pay 88.3 million dollars for sexually assaulting and defaming E.Jean Carroll. Trump was fined 464 million dollars for business fraud and is in court for paying a porn star Stormy Daniels hush money to keep her silent during the elections. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years Trump has been charged with tax fraud in Chicago to the tune of 100 million dollars. A New York jury on Thursday found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records — the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.

Both Islam and Christianity embrace the Abrahamic God created by the Jews. They charged Jesus with blasphemy because Jesus could not give any proof he was God.
John 10:33
The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”
You definitely didn't understand jack of what I said.
You were quoting Cayce.
The Jews wanted to stone Jesus for blasphemy John 10:33.
The jews had an incorrect understanding of what God is, that's why they wanted to stone Jesus. There are jewish sects whose concept about God is similar to that of Cayce and the christian gnostics.

I think you have to read what Cayce think about it before asking.

So John wrote John in the courtroom?

Funny thing is, when one researches such matters there is no conclusive data available.

Though it is generally agreed that The Book of John was compiled sometime after Jesus's execution, and not necessarily written by John.

Not really. Regressive and progressive are used to describe taxes in principle all the time. There's always some edge case that could change things.

The difference between a progressive tax and a regressive tax is that lower income individuals pay a percentage of their income to a regressive tax and a percentage of their income to a progressive tax. Higher income individuals are the opposite.
