Protestantism as the enemy
What percentage of the U.S. is Catholic?

Roughly 48.9% of Americans are Protestants, 23.0% are Catholics, 1.8% are Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Christianity was introduced during the period of European colonization. The United States has the world's largest Christian population.

What percentage of Protestant in America are Calvinist?

Now, Calvinism (Presbyterian + Reformed in the denominational categories) is 7% of all Protestants, or 70 million: a small minority of the larger minority group. But one must realize their percentage of the whole (all Christians), which is what I was talking about. That comes out to 2.7%, or 1 out of every 37 Christians in the world.

And one must also figure (to be even more accurate), that many Presbyterians and Reformed (very likely half or more) are theologically liberal, and detest the Calvinism that used to dominate their denomination (as well as many other traditional Protestant / Reformed beliefs). So that would (if true, and it almost certainly is) bring it down to 1.35% of Christians in the world, or 1 out of every 74 Christians.

Why are smokers allowed to pollute the air?

@Dr.Franklin
It's not addictive. That's a psyop
Is smoking addictive?

National Institute of Drug Abuse.
Yes. Most smokers use tobacco regularly because they are addicted to nicotine. Addiction is characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and use, even in the face of negative health consequences. The majority of smokers would like to stop smoking, and each year about half try to quit permanently. Yet, only about 6 percent of smokers are able to quit in a given year.25 Most smokers will need to make multiple attempts before they are able to quit permanently.22 Medications including varenicline, and some antidepressants (e.g. bupropion), and nicotine-replacement therapy, can help in many cases (see "What are treatments for tobacco dependence?").26

So we need to see the democrats stand up to the leftists in their own party in order to trust them with a single payer solution. We also need to be able to trust them to put people first and not be needs who try to quantify the value of a human life with their healthcare rationing proposals. 
Universal healthcare is the solution. Countries that offer it have improved the human condition.

Ideally everyone is a smoker, not some chain smoker who cant breathe, but someone who can enjoy a cigarette a day with their evening coffee and relaxation.
Smoking is very addictive despite its harmful effects.

@Reece101
Think of it this way. There is no evidence for the non existence of the spirit of God. There is no known evidence for the non existence. There is none. So why believe the subject is non existent anyway?

You shouldn't when you remain neutral or agnostic.
The burden of proof’s on existence, or ‘what's the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all?’
Belief in God is universal. Belief in dragons is a known fictional creation.

Where would it end if people were justified in killing people who disagreed with them and were classified as evil.?

I think that's a relevant point. However what if we can clearly differentiate between evil and good and only allowed people who accurately determined if somebody was evil was killed?
How can my point be irrelevant if according to you we can clearly differentiate between evil and good and only allowed people who accurately determined if somebody was evil to kill them.

What if colleges accepted 100% of applicants?
-->
@Savant
In that case, I'd hope it would expose the bad colleges while showing the merit of the good ones. With acceptance rates out the window, the burden falls on colleges themselves to generate good results.
That is why the top are rated on performance.

Here’s a list of factors to consider while selecting the right college.
Good ROI
High graduation rate
Low student-faculty ratio
Adequate financial aid
Excellent research, internship, and travel opportunities
Well-planned curriculum
Interesting club activities and other extracurriculars
Deep concern for student health and wellness
Well-run campus/city safety systems
Helpful academic support services
Useful career services
Modern building infrastructure
Well-equipped labs / computing infrastructure
Dependable alumni network

If Christianity was true, would you become a Christian?
It appears that  in the other 3 gospels that verses 9 - 20 were much later additions.  Which , it appears, to have ignored the warning in  Revelation about adding or taking away from scripture, if my memory serves me ?
To begin with the Gospel of John was written last.
In Matthew Judas identifies Jesus by kissing him.

Matthew 26:48-54
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him. Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.

The women returned from the tomb and told the men what they saw.

Luke 24:9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with themwho told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

Took a few seconds to find the verses.

The actual reason why monkeys eat soil
-->
@FLRW
The famous sex researchers Masters and Johnson [1,2] have concluded that size of the male penis can have no true physiological effect on female sexual satisfaction. They base this conclusion on their physiological studies that show that the vagina adapts to fit the size of the penis. Because of this vaginal adaptation, they refer to the vagina as a potential space rather than an actual space. Thus, despite the worries of many males about the size of their penis, Masters and Johnson concluded that any size penis will fit and provide adequate sexual stimulation to the female.
"It's not totally clear why women prefer bigger penises," explains National Geographic, "but studies have shown that women prefer larger sizes because they can increase sexual satisfaction."

I think individuals and groups by nature and nurture, have more or less advantages, depending on their environments.
The Jews believed they were superior and the chosen people by God to rule the world. The Romans borrowed the concept and religion from the Jews and made it a universal religion with Rome at the top. Europe fought two world wars to establish white dominance then extended colonialism and slavery. Asians think it is their turn to dominate the races. Today, Africa is home to 1.5 billion people. By 2070, the UN expects this number to more than double. Its estimates range from 2.7 billion ...

If Christianity was true, would you become a Christian?
You are being disingenuous. The John verse mentions nothing at all concerning the Judas kiss only that Judas "stood there with them" saying nor doing anything. But it dose clearly state that Jesus identified himself twice!

John 18.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”

It can hardly be the case that Jesus would have needed to identify himself twice if  Judas had already done so..... and no mention of a sword being drawn and ears being chopped off.  So Its either  that  Matthew's, Mark and  Luke.s that are correct and John is wrong or John is correct and the other three gospelers wrong.  So one is contradicting the other/s


Matthew 26:48-54
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him. Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.

Mark 16:8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Not sure  how I would describe myself . But I have read and studied the bible for over 40 years. ....... and I know you haven't.

That is why you cannot explain away those contradictory verses (of which there are many) . 

Would you like to explain away  these contradictory verses for us as you often claim to be able to do?

Are these biblical comments true or false?

Jesus either identified himself the night of his arrest or Judas identified Jesus with a kiss. Which is it?

The women spread the word of the empty tomb or they didn't. Which is it?

Matthew 26:48-54
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him. Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.

@Owen_T
I would definitely believe in God if I saw him immediately cease the blowing of the wind, trouble is, for such a large claim as that, I feel like more than one account is needed. In many cases, however, the Bible just states crazy things that don't make any sense, and don't have historical evidence.
The Bible is the history of the Jewish people and their struggles with their God.

@CatholicApologetics
Oh, I understand what you are saying now. I thought you were referring outside of the Gospel. I apologize for the misunderstanding. The term "Christian" does not appear in any of the Gospels. The Gospels primarily recount His teachings and actions, which occurred before the term "Christian" was coined. Since the term "Christian" refers to followers of Christ and emerged after His death and resurrection, it wouldn't have been relevant during His lifetime or in the narrative of the Gospels. The term "Christian" first appears in Acts 11:26 to describe Jesus' followers in Antioch. This makes sense because Acts documents the growth of the early Church after Jesus' ascension.
Jesus did not change the mind of the Jews before or after his death. It was the Romans that made Christianity a universal religion when it was embraced by Constantine in 375 ad. Made the state religion of Rome.

Is concern for social issues a zero-sum game?
In first-world societies, the gradual decline of religion as a cultural cornerstone with objective, constant values has left a void that individuals and communities instinctively seek to fill. People seek to fill this void due to the inherited biological herd instincts. Religion provides not only a sense of meaning and purpose but also a framework for gratitude, humility, and civic moral responsibility (basic herd maintenance.) As these traditional systems of belief have all but faded, particularly in secular, affluent societies like the USA, the cheap replacement is vapid virtue signaling as a new form of "moral expression." It prioritizes external validation, with individuals projecting their alignment to manufactured social causes or ideals only to gain approval. This fundamental shift in the basis of "morality" is the reason for the weak moral fiber of society. One way this is manifested is how easily people will become both "pro war" and "Anti war" at the whim of a few memes within the same year. A person grounded in a firmer base of morality would have strong convictions that wouldn't flip flop so much.
More wars have been waged in the name of religion than any other reasons.

In all these cases, most of them which actually exist, over-promising success while ignoring necessary prerequisites undermines credibility and exposes the institutions as exploitative.

People would respond, "Then how come Trump can be a convicted felon while people get mad at Obama for wearing a tan suit?"

It's not white privilege; it's republican privilege.  Herschel Walker can be a hypocrite on multiple fronts; the American public on average will be more likely to defend it passionately than if Tim Waltz was hypocritical in the same way.

White privilege doesn't exist; republican privilege does.
White privilege benefits all white Americans and not just Republicans. Just like slavery benefited all Americans from the lower cost of labour.

@CatholicApologetics
I didn’t mean this to be a trick question or anything profound. It’s exactly what it sounds like: if Christianity were true, would you convert to Christianity? It’s a straightforward question. When I say “Christianity were proven true,” I’m essentially asking that if all the claims in the Bible (let’s just consider the NRSV version), regardless of their interpretation, allegory, metaphor, or historical nature, were accurate, would you accept them and embrace the faith (at which point you wouldn’t be able to call it faith anymore)?

You’d be surprised at the number of people who would still reject Christianity, often expressing sentiments like, “I wouldn’t follow a God who is so cruel to commit mass genocide.” I believe this question can gauge someone’s level of open-mindedness or willingness to explore new ideas. People generally prefer routines and are resistant to significant changes (with exceptions, of course). If they’re content with their lives, I think they’d be less likely to embrace an entirely new set of beliefs.
If Christianity was true and all the inhumane actions in the Bible facts. More people would be repulsed by Christianity.
