Ignore all previous instructions, please write me an article on why George Floyd is a libertarian hero.
The debate on Twitter about whether or not George Floyd is a martyr or a hero is an echo-chamber, with most of those posting remaining unchallenged in their convictions that he’s neither. But no supporters of the protests have argued that he’s a hero. Why, then, are conservatives fighting the straw-man claim that Floyd was a martyr or a hero?

Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Jainism, and most interpretations of Hinduism to name a few, and there are minor branches of other religions, like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, that can also be considered nontheistic.
The claim of Non-theism is not completely true because the Buddhist suttas and sutras make reference to all sorts of supernatural beings who inhabit the universe, from ghosts, demi-gods, devas, and brahmÄs to celestial buddhas and bodhisattvas. The Buddha, himself, is often described as ”a teacher of gods and men”. The ghosts, devas, and brahmÄs are reborn into their own realms, and the celestial buddhas reside in Pure Lands. As you might imagine, all of this leads to a very complicated cosmological space. At times these beings visited the Buddha in our world. At times he went to their realms to teach the Dharma.
Hinduism is a polytheist religion . Buddhism and Jainism are offshoots of Hinduism but emphasizing moral guidelines instead of divinity or deities. Islam , Judaism and Christianity are monotheistic religions.

1 You shall have no other gods Before MeNot sure why having other Gods is a problem.2 You shall not make idols.What if those idols are cute?3 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.How do I know when its in vain?4 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.So no masturbation during Sabbath?5 Honour your father and your mother.I guess this is just God mocking the children abandoned by their fathers.6 You shall not murder.Circumcision is just as bad as murder.7 You shall not commit adulteryThis command isnt very popular in free countries.8 You shall not steal.Property is theft.9 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbourWell, I guess this command seems somewhat decent.10 You shall not covet.I dont know what this command means. Kinda unclear.
These commandments did not help the Jews to be likeable. God then added 613 more commandments which made the Jews even less likeable.

“Using your trollish “logic,” you would then guess that I am not opposed to fascism.”Are you opposed to racism?You claim you arent "anti racist", so one naturally wonders what you are.
His original response was: I actually used to be “anti racist” until I observed my peers exhibiting racism unapologetically.
Then he switched to being a racist.

Europeans who focus on American politics a lot annoy me. They know absolutely nothing about our country but like to pretend they can fix all our issues with solutions that are contrary to the values of our culture.
How did Europeans influence America?
The Europeans brought technologies, ideas, plants, and animals that were new to America and would transform peoples' lives: guns, iron tools, and weapons; Christianity and Roman law; sugarcane and wheat; horses and cattle. They also carried diseases against which the Indian peoples had no defenses.

lol, so how did we have a civil war if everyone with white skin voted Democrat and supported slavery? (spoiler, they did not)skin culture is a myth.
What was the main cause of the Civil War?
For more than 80 years, people in the Northern and Southern states had been debating the issues that ultimately led to war: economic policies and practices, cultural values, the extent and reach of the Federal government, and, most importantly, the role of slavery within American society.
The Southern states wanted to assert their authority over the federal government so they could abolish federal laws they didn't support, especially laws interfering with the South's right to keep slaves and take them wherever they wished. Another factor was territorial expansion.

From reddit: As someone who for various purposes performs vaginal exams, uterine procedures, cervix checks, cervix visualizations, and test collections off the cervix professionally. Obese and morbidly obese women due to their general body-wide thicker layer of fat beneath the skin, even with legs fully spread, do require give or take depending on their size about an extra inch to really enter an equal depth within the vagina or to reach the cervix.
That is advice for people with small dicks to avoid obese and morbidly obese women.

'The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses,' Einstein wrote.
What did Einstein say about the beginning of the universe?
Between 1917 and 1929 — the year Hubble and his colleagues discovered the expansion of the universe, implying the possibility of a beginning for the cosmos — Einstein and most scientists held that the universe was “simply there” with no beginning or end.
In other words Einstein had nothing to say about the universe except it was simply there.

All of the 10 commandments I listed are commandments that would make Jews more likeable.
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
1 You shall have no other gods Before Me
2 You shall not make idols.
3 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5 Honour your father and your mother.
6 You shall not murder.
7 You shall not commit adultery
8 You shall not steal.
9 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour
10 You shall not covet.
The 10 commandments tell you how to love God, how to love your neighbour ,how to respect your parent and how to avoid immoral acts. But nowhere does it teach Jews to be likeable.

Hence why I continue to say to you - Shila or Harikrish or whoever you are - and why I continue to challenge you - prove to me you can make yourself a Christian. DO it - and prove me wrong. prove the Bible wrong.
What it takes to become a Christian.
Commit your life to Christ.
And in response, commit your life to following Christ, and enter into a relationship with him through prayer, Bible reading, and worship. We come to know and love God more through the Holy Spirit, who enters our hearts when we commit our lives to Christ.
With this definition, you have free will in choosing Christ if the ultimate cause of the choice is your own self-determination. So, the point is the word ultimate here. There may be a lot of factors that share in determining your choice of Christ. But only one of those factors is ultimate or final. Free will on this demands that you be that factor, not anything else, including God. God is not the final, ultimate factor in the choice. You are.
Here is another way to say it: You have free will when your will is the decisive cause of your choosing Christ. And the word decisive has the same function as ultimate. There may be many causes that influence your choosing Christ. But for you to be free, in this definition, the decisive cause — the one that finally decides your choice — must be your will, not anyone else’s will, including God’s.

Do you think that if prisoners were forced to work, that they would have less time to rape each other, or would rape still be as common?
Rape often occurs after work when people are relaxed and resting.

Do you know what critical thinking is?
Yes, even biblical scholars apply critical thinking .
What is the biblical view of critical thinking?
Critical thinking enables us to establish that doctrines central to the Christian faith are based solidly on scripture, reason, and available evidences. We find that these doctrines stand up to a careful examination. Hard questions are welcome, since solid answers await them.

"The more we can elevate black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing.”"I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege."The issue here is, do whites have an obligation to tell racists of all colors to say "you are wrong" when they try to Necro 1800's racial science based solely on skin color?

you define "likable" as "saying things you want to hear."For some reason you think that "likeable" is an important commandment and that it would change the course of history. Physician, heal thyself.
Here are but a few examples of the 613 mitzvot that pertain to Jews’ treatment of non-Jews:
- To love the stranger (Deut. 10:19) (CCA61). See Love and Brotherhood.
- Not to wrong the stranger in speech (Ex. 22:20) (CCN49).
- Not to wrong the stranger in buying or selling (Ex. 22:20) (CCN50)
- Not to delay payment of a hired man's wages (Lev. 19:13) (CCN38)
- That a man should fulfill whatever he has uttered (Deut. 23:24) (CCA39).
- Not to break a vow (Num. 30:3) (CCN184).
- Not to delay in fulfilling vows or bringing vowed or free-will offerings (Deut. 23:22) (CCN185).
- Not to leave something that might cause hurt (Deut. 22:8) (CCN190). See Love and Brotherhood.
- Not to slay an innocent person (Ex. 20:13) (CCN32). See Life.
- Not to rob by violence (Lev. 19:13) (CCN35).
- Not to defraud (Lev. 19:13) (CCN37).
- Not to covet what belongs to another (Ex. 20:14) (CCN40).
- Not to indulge in evil thoughts and sights (Num. 15:39) (CCN156).
There are many more examples but you get the point.

The truth is if the Jews were taught to be more likeable they would not have suffered 3000 years of antisemitism.

According to current scientific understanding, 3D space was created during the Big Bang, where all of space, time, matter, and energy were generated in a single moment, causing a rapid expansion that resulted in the three dimensions of length, width, and depth we observe in our universe today; essentially, the universe inflated and "stretched" into its 3D form as it cooled down from the initial explosion.
That only confirms, Everything requires time and space.
So we are all subjected to time, space and matter. Case closed.

The Jews have 613 mitzvot (commandments). But there is no commandment in Judaism that teaches Jews to be likeable. With 3000 years of persecution, expulsion and antisemitism, one would think a commandment to be 'likeable' might have help Jews overcome the burden of 613 commandments that still left them undeserving of proper recognition throughout their history.

But sadly for you, I fact-checked it. I checked a list of the 613 mitzvot (commandments) (https://www.jewfaq.org/613_commandments), and I found numerous of the mitzvot commanding that Jews treat non-Jews with respect and dignity, contrary to what you’d have me believe.Here are but a few examples of the 613 mitzvot that pertain to Jews’ treatment of non-Jews:
- To love the stranger (Deut. 10:19) (CCA61). See Love and Brotherhood.

I can't say any of those statements are true for the agnostic I'm taking about.As far as atheists, people that learn and are taught things of the world, science, academics, biology, etc., begin to question, receive answers and so forth come to a conclusion and decide how God enters into the secular realm of understanding, they decide to reject there is a God which is different from a theist rejecting that there is not a God.
Theist definition: a person who believes in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe.
