I would hope I'm on your side.
A chance to provide me your positions you neglect. Makes me wonder if what I actually said was true. I think it is and you haven't done anything to provide my claim to be false.
Why do you hope to be on my side?
What if I am wrong?
Can you not think for yourself?

Tell me these positions you hold because I don't see taking a side apart from defending Trump for some reason.My position is relative to my relationship with the government, not an arbitrary abstraction.

Why not?I think a major ethical backslide in Christianity would convince me that God doesn't exist, although I really don't foresee that.
I don't "know" per se. I believe and have faith that he does. No one can truly 100% know for sure because there's always doubt. Like that apple, what if it's just a figment of your imagination? See, there's always doubt.
Why don't you have the same doubt to God existing?
So it is based on convincing? What convinced you to become or remain a Christian?
When my parents introduced me to it.
My question would remain not convinced then.
Well the Jewish and Biblical God are technically the same, but because I believe that Jesus died and was resurrected.
Do you think Jesus resurrected as a belief or do you have evidence?
No, because other life doesn't have consciousness.
Entire wiki is dedicated to it. Just looking at the picture on the right, Grey parrots have ""near human-like levels of consciousness".
Do you consider this a belief or do you have evidence?
He's engineered them to automatically live their lives. For us, we make mistakes. Cool question though, I've never heard of that before.
I heard it from someone else and I thought it would be something worth asking. I am guessing George Carlin.
Lollll umm a commie I guess because at least the premise of the proposal is decent enough
Okay.

I find it rather odd that there would be any reason you might think we may not get along. Feel free to send a private message if I've acted unmannerly.
We can get along if I don't get annoyed at your constant right wing apology and non-positions.

Well then guess you are enlightened but why do you want to be when you can avoid that and be happy?I don't think enlightenment, by my definition, would necessarily cause happiness. What if you found out reality really sucks?

not necessarily
Then why call it enlightenment? Just call it peak happiness.
Since enlightenment implies knowledge and knowledge does not equal happiness.
Happiness is the goal right or is it knowledge?

So no spirituality involved?I think everyone will reach it eventually, as enlightenment is as understanding of what exists and reality.

When should I re-schedule our debate?
(Weekend or something?)
Are you willing to change your mind on God's existence if so can you formulate something that would possibly make your mind changed?
(I don't think you are given you used Christianity is about love as if that nullifies the bad in it)
Do you know God exists or are you agnostic to it?
(As in I see an apple. Do you see God and if you do can you demonstrate it?)
When did you start believing in God?
Why do you believe in the Biblical God instead of the Jewish or Islamic one?
Do you think it is a little weird that God is so fixated on humans instead of other life on this planet?
Would you rather be a Nazi or Commie?
(would be under the regime working for them as a soldier)
Done. I think.

I haven't reached it nor do I think I will.Does enlightenment require work on our part, or is it just a stage in our existence, like puberty?
I think it is people attaching a happy moment in their life to an enlightenment where I think they are just really happy given their circumstances. I think there would've been a paper proving the enlightenment if it did exist. Guess people are going to use well science doesn't observable the not-observable but even if that is true there would still need to a link to a not-observable for us to be impacted by it in the observable like if God created life. Where in life does it show God? I don't see it.

Its just one of the many oddly specific hobbies I like to pour three hours of my life into every once in a while :P- Extensive poll analysis- Mobile Airline simulation games- Miscellaneous tv show Fanfiction writing- General manager mode in Madden 19
I condone only the first one.
Mobile Airline simulation is not as good as Minecraft or Terraria.
TV show Fanfiction is not as good as watching them I think.
Madden is boring. Play XCOM, Fell Arbiter's Seal Mask if you like strategy games.

ContradictsIf there was some proof (while there is plenty of evidence)
You're going to be waiting until your dead lol.
Do you have evidence or not?
I don't want to talk about feelings because I am not really good at setting good enough standards for them compared to evidence.
it's an interpretation of what we see in scientific studies, the propositions of religions and testimonials which of course includes NDE's. Too much to go ever in one post so I'll let you decide if the OP interests you or not, if not sweet dreams.
Oh so you are just assuming it leads to God not there is evidence for God and here is the proof.
Since you are provide evidence tailored to God can you logically deduce it?

Where was I a bigot?Just one more thing. I was just trying to be helpful, pointing out bigotry, which will tend to close you off to the world you live in.
That has nothing to do with "defending the right", ya goof :p
Find me a left winger you have defended then in that time tell me how many right wingers have you defended.

We might get along but given you just admitted you believe in God well less likely.
You are basically you are not attempting to prove your claim instead make an excuse. I have nothing to work with and all I have to say is your point is not substantial.
You lean more towards defending the right then I have ever see you defend the left. Makes me believe your the weird centre lefties on YouTube which say the left has gone too far but they have pretty much turned conservatives given how far they have moved. Sargon of Akkad, Armoured Skeptic basically the skeptic community.

Politically or about what is going on here?I would hope we are both on the same side.
I've stated to you, I have the capacity but lack the information. Without accessing the relevant information, I can't answer your questions about how Donald Trump came to decide Mike Pence was his man. I would carefully assess the VP. I assume most anyone would in some manner. This is not "fence sitting". I am not your personal secretary.
Then why not access the relevant information instead of saying "I'm sure"?
Not to my recollection
So the thing you were speaking to me about at the very start of this thread. I ask for your perspective yet you don't answer. Makes me wonder if you are actually here to engage instead of simply go around say stuff but don't tell any of your positions.
Didn't address a blatant accusation to you so either you are calling your lawyer for defamation or I am correct. I'll accuse you of something here again to see if you would actually answer.

@Snoopy
Defend what?
"I'm sure the potential VP was presented to him by campaign advisers."
while also stating
"I wouldn't say he's not smart."
Which leads me to believe Trump made a smart decision with his VP. I did ask you what you would call Trump but you failed to answer a simple question. Almost as if you want to sit on a fence and preach to me without actually giving your side. You do that a lot and when you slip here I am going to call you out for it.
So basically in simple terms which I don't think you understood back when I made it simple before but whatever.
Would you call Trump smart or not smart?
Did Trump carefully assess potential VP's which lead to him picking Pence?

@Snoopy
I have that capacity, but not the information. This isn't something I've "claimed". You happened use "Donald Trump doesn't make smart moves" as a rule, and that is not how I would go about it.
So you are saying you can do it but you won't. Okay.
My rule was made with evidence.
I have work to do, and I'd like to see contrasting views, but I'm not particularly interested in the subject. What I really do not want to do is be mistaken for defending Donald Trump, and engaging in debate. It would be atypical for me to apply as much time to the sitting president as other branches and jurisdictions, and I'd assume there are people here more knowledgeable than I.
Engaging in debate when you have 1 debate to your account?
I don't need to carry on. Please defend it.

If I want an explanation. I don't consider what you said to be self-evident.When something needs explaining I will do that, if it's self evident then there is no need.
I know you had more to say but I am rather argue the fundamentals then talk over it as if I don't have a problem with it. I do. Address it.

Can you demonstrate Trump carefully assessed the options?I said it was a smart pick.
I wouldn't say he's not smart.
What would you say then?
I'm not going to research and defend Donald Trump.
A liberal can't be bothered to research or defend something? Are you the silent moderate because you certainly seem as incapable in backing up the claims you made as one given their lack of knowledge in politics.

@Snoopy
"Trump doesn't make smart moves so I call this a plan by someone else that isn't Trump."
I'm sure the potential VP was presented to him by campaign advisers.
Him picking Pence doesn't make him smart. It can be an unlikely outcome of Trump just picking who he feels like. Do you have anything that states he carefully assessed all other candidates and was drawn to Pence specifically?

You literally said that lol. Its hard for me to say the man doesn't have some form of intelligence.
Said what?
Created:

@Snoopy
Didn't say that. What I am saying going by Trump's track record he has shown less smart action than smart actions which leads his future to be heavily viewed and highly to be not smart.Saying Donald Trump doesn't make smart moves as a rule is bigoted, something that will close you off to the world.
The president needs to be able to deal with people on a regular basis that are smarter than they are, and decide which advice is trustworthy.
Dealing with smart people doesn't make you smart. Trump would be the highest ranking official so he can basically fire people who decide to help understand things with what he perceives to be undermining his intelligence or Trump can simply say we are going to look into it and never do.

Joe Biden if he is for free trade.sorry my post was a big confusing, who does China want to be the U.S. president in 2020
It can be anyone for free trade but more than likely it would be Biden V Trump so I am guessing Biden most likely would support free trade over Trump.

Water does have an identity. It is the one we chose to give it.it does not have an identity, which is a constructed self-image.
Populism is reactionary, progressivism is ideological. Therein lies the difference.
What makes something reactionary?
Populism is not an ideology?
I would not describe free trade as a liberal idea either, though some liberals believe in it.
How is this not a liberal idea?
