What you must understand about the libs is how incredibly important it is to them to be able to sacrifice the <unborn child>. Pagans have always been like this. Thousands of years ago they were sacrificing their children to Molech, burning them alive. Now they tear them limb from limb, the children that would grow to love them, they throw them in the garbage and wipes their lips, saying, "I've done nothing wrong."

To a godly person, this sounds horrific. An abominable sin. Unthinkable. So evil that one can't even look upon it. But to the godless libs, they actually love it, and if you try to stop them from killing the innocent, they will kill you, burn your house down, loot your city and go to war with you.

The libs killing the <unborn child> because they really only care about themselves, despite their cheap talk of empathy and <emotional intelligence>. Libs love to kill the unborn child because it allows them to keep feeding their sexual appetites. No babies to get in the way and slow them down.

A woman that kills her children and thinks, "I did it for my career" is a good excuse, will die one day, oh and that day comes all too soon, and will face the Lord. Women who kill their unborn children for their careers, essentially kill their children for money. Imagine if someone offered to pay you 10 million dollars to kill your kids, would you do it?

Liberal women do it for a lot less than that all the time when they have abortions because it would get in the way of their "careers".

Liberal men love it when their favorite sluts kill their unborn children too, because then they don't have to pay to raise that child and they don't have to sacrifice any of their time to raise the child. This is all about selfishness, but libs don't want to admit that. They try to cast an impartial, impersonal tone, as though they are talking about a mathematical equation, when they discuss their decision to murder their children. It makes them feel good about it.

Anyhow, the libs are going nuts because Trump is going to appoint a judge that they see as a threat to their abortion fun.

They don't just kill the kids. No, that would be too easy. They also sell their body parts for big money. They sell it to "science" so it's okay.

They might as well make alligator shoes out of their children. Imagine that? You could kill your unborn child, but instead of throwing his body in the garbage, you <recycle> it and turn him into a pair of shoes, or maybe some gloves. Something you can wear.

Sodomy
Abortion
Divorce

Liberals are characterized by three common traits:

Wickedness
Gross ignorance
Unchecked arrogance

Liberals hate three things:

God
Their fellow man
Themselves

How can a lib try to hide all of this? By being what they call <nice>. Niceness is a deception that is used to cover up all the ugliness of liberalism. It's hard to see past the niceness into the heart, the dark, filthy, wicked heart of the lib. The unrepentant heart.

What is the cure?

Jesus Christ is the cure. A true Christian would never even think about killing their unborn children. That's because the Lord changes one's heart. One becomes sanctified in time.

The libs will never seek God if they can kill their children in cold blood and say, "I've done nothing wrong". They need to be woken up. They need to be made aware of the evil they are responsible for. They need a moral awakening, and then they will realize they deserve death and judgment. Only then will they repent and then seek the Lord.

Therefore, if you love your fellow man, then you will share the truth with him, so that he may be wiser, so that he may be aware of his evil, so that he might repent, believe the gospel and find ever lasting life. That's what you try to do for him.

If you <hate> your fellow man, you express that hate with apathy. You say, "why should I care what he does if it doesn't effect me?"

You can put that another way: "Live and let live".

At some point in life when one decides to harden one's heart toward God, you become a liberal at that very moment. Much like the Christian is, as is sometimes said, "Born again" when he gives his life over to Christ, so one is also "Born again" in a different way, when one hardens his heart against God.

At that very moment you become baptized not in water or fire, but in evil, in lust, in greed and in pride. You become a new creature in pride, in evil. You become your own god, just as Satan so desperately wanted to become his own god.

Whereas when one becomes a Christian, he has the mind of Christ, when one becomes a liberal, he has the mind of evil, which is a mind of lust, greed, pleasure, murder, envy, hate and selfishness.

Liberalism is a spiritual condition, not a mental disorder. Only one who is ignorant of the role of spirituality, ignorant of the role God and the truth, would describe liberalism as a mental disorder.

The godless call evil insanity. They say a person who murders a family in cold blood was obviously insane, when they are not. They are evil. Likewise, a liberal is not mental disordered, they are evil because they have rejected God, and God <is> love, God is kindness, God is <justice>, God is merciful, God is grace itself.

Leaders, radio hosts, bloggers - any of them that refer to liberalism as a mental disorder do not have the foundation necessary to comment insightfully on our culture, society, justice or offer any solutions for the problems that plague our society at this time.

Period.

As a Christian, you will not understand how Greek pagan philosophy affected the early church fathers and the world's understanding of Christianity. You will not become aware of some of your own assumptions.

But hey, who has time for reading The Republic and or Confessions when there are dreadlocked goons running around on a football field throwing a ball and smacking each other on the asses?

You don't have to be a Christian to read the Republic or Confessions. The Republic is so incredibly relevant to what's happening in America today that it can't be overstated.

In a nutshell, when philosophers managed to fool themselves into thinking that God does not exist, there arose a new problem: the absurdity of life sans God.

Existentialism seeks to someone wish away that absurdity to the cornfield. It fails to do so, but there are many books filled with nonsense that try to do just that.

The Enlightenment led to atheism. Atheism led to nihilism. Nihilism led to Existentialism.

If you can't explain something simply, it means that you don't really understand it. I've explained these philosophies simply and connected them in a way that even a child can understand. This is because I have understanding regarding these things.

The libs are hopelessly lost in a sea lies and moral relativism. This is why they can't see clearly and think that there is <nuance> where there isn't. They just lack understanding and clarity.

Fundamentally speaking, if your worldview is a lie, then <nuance> is needed to cover for the parts that plain old don't make sense. If your worldview is based on the truth, then as you flesh it out by following the logical consequences implied by your worldview, things become clearer, more black and white and less gray areas.

There are some posters who prefer that, and we see them over there continuing to feed the trolls. Birds of a feather flock together. They belong over there. But for the Discerning Poster, the Elite Poster, the Curious Lurking Reader, they are welcome to spend their time here as we discuss the Big Questions in life.

Keep in mind that the greatest minds the world has ever seen, people who are still famous today, thousands of years since they've died, famous because of how incredibly brilliant they were - all of these people spent lots of their time discussing the Big Questions in life.

To the regular low IQ person, this seems like foolishness. "What does it accomplish?" they ask. "How does that affect me?" they ask. They say, "I'm not concerned with meaningless bullchit" - and then they go and drape a giant Red Sox banner over their front door, put on big red shirt with some random number and another man's name on it, and sit in front of the Liberal Box (TV) and allow themselves to be programmed into sacrificing their time for meaningless crap.

Middle-aged men who wear these football shirts with numbers and some other man's name on them are on the same level as those who wear a COVD-19 mask in their car alone. The idea of putting another man's name on your body or clothing, it just makes you a cuck.

What did you think about Augustine's 'Confessions'?

Why do you consider this work to be so important?

I've read most of Augustine's 'Confessions', as well as parts of 'City of God' and some other bits and pieces. Also parts of Plato's 'Republic'.

<As a Christian, you will not understand how Greek pagan philosophy affected the early church fathers and the world's understanding of Christianity.>

Reminds me of Greg Halman:

<Gregory Anthony Halman (August 26, 1987 – November 21, 2011) was a Dutch professional baseball outfielder. He played with the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball (MLB) during the 2010 and 2011 seasons. He also played internationally with the Dutch national team in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. He died of stab wounds in Rotterdam after the 2011 MLB season. His brother was arrested in connection with the stabbing but was acquitted on the grounds of temporary insanity. >

Let's see how they fare. I predict lots of tears on Rogoff. Heh heh

Conservatives over here are looking forward to see Trump beat that old lib.

BOOM!

Trump smashed Biden and it wasn't even close, but "undecided" voters are too stupid to realize that. There's a focus group on FOX right now and they're all <undecideds>. Talk about a bunch of idiots. These people have no clue about what it means to be conservative or liberal on the issues. No clue. There's this one guy, black man, who was unhappy with Biden but was also upset that Trump said something about blacks. He said, "The only way I would even consider voting for Trump is if he learned how to remain silent about black issues, because he doesn't know what it's like for me to wake up as a black man every day"

What an idiot.

This guy is IQ 86.

They spent two hours debating real issues and this idiot is making up his mind about who to vote for based on stage etiquette!

He should be embarrassed to be on TV, yapping his big mouth so that the whole world can see what an idiot he is, but no. He probably fancies himself to be enlightened and above the fray of partisan politics.

There couldn't be a bigger difference between Trump and Biden, and these idiots are undecided?

The Republic is so profound that one cannot consider himself truly educated unless he's given it a critical reading. It touches on so many things from education to society and culture and much more than just that.

Giving it a quick read doesn't count. One must give it a critical reading.

Books X to XIII are philosophical and reading through them is slow going.

Augustine's examination of the opening verses of Genesis reflect an allegorical view of the creation account.

I've read parts of 'The Republic' but not enough to give an opinion on it.

Does that mean I'm only partially educated?

It seems Biden didn't completely implode, which too many on the Right were expecting.

They had set the bar so low that all Sleepy Joe had to do was get through the debate without any major malfunction, which it seems he did, and it would appear that he had scored a victory.
