The 37-year-old biotech entrepreneur turned Republican presidential candidate has been steadily garnering support in a party dominated by conservative Christians. In many polls, he’s in third place behind former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and he is one of six candidates who have qualified for the first GOP presidential debate on Aug. 23.
Why do you keep using the word ‘hate’ so much? If I distrust someone because the thing they believe is not rooted in reality, you label it as hate.
In facts I would say that your disdain and vigor to label someone with ‘hate’ is pointing to your own hate towards others.
And the fact that humans have felt a need to create religion upon religion is perhaps because of the lack of understanding the world and nature around them. Fear of death is a huge driver to create an afterlife and death affects all of mankind, so it is logical to see it create religion on all levels over the planet.
I find your attitude towards people who air their opinion rather toxic tbh.
The individual said he doesn’t trust anyone who believes in God. His statements later about God made it apparent he hates him.
I think it’s telling that you defend someone who hates others for having a different beliefs than them, but you rant at me because I call him out on it.
He doesn’t hate your god. He just doesn’t give a shit about him. Truthfully, agnostics/atheists are hardly thinking about god ever, if at all.
People are free to believe in what they want to believe in. Religion and spirituality, after all, is just our way of understanding ourselves. The problem is when people choose to impose their religion on others. In politics, this exists in the form of policy-making based on your religious doctrine.
You mentioned morality is based on Christianity but that isn’t true at all. There are some obvious moral truths that have existed time immemorial — don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t cheat. There’s plenty of examples in history to the contrary, but even more to support these shared values across all cultures.
At the end of the day, people really just want to be treated kindly. So, they should give kindness in the way they would like it themselves.
Weird, because he went out of his way to bring in God into the conversation and said anyone that believes in him he doesn’t trust.
Is it really going out of your way when that’s the topic of this post, theism in politics?
It doesn’t belong. That I agree with. Being against entrepreneurship is a bit of a hot take though.
Saying you don’t trust anyone that believes in a God, yeah, it is going out of your way.
Incredibly stupid and indefensible, you mean.
