    Eliza, I'm not sure I understand why you posted this.

    With White evangelical Christians becoming a smaller share of the American population, will the Republican party be forced to turn to Black and Latino voters?

    No just voter suppression tactics and gerrymandering.

    Many Latinos already vote Republican, and the party’s already quietly dropped racism as a platform, if you haven’t noticed. The Democrats do nothing for most black people, partly because they’ve been a guaranteed voting base, and why do anything for someone whose votes you don’t want to win? The current Democratic President is a goddamned segregationist; at least Republicans know better than to run someone like that. The Vice President made her career by locking up mostly minorities.

    I used to live in Memphis, where a similar history already played out. Up until the 50s or 60s, the Democrats were the party of racism against minorities, which, incidentally, should tell you something about how quickly the parties can change on this kind of issue. But in Memphis during the 20s through the 40s, most of the black vote went to Democrats, because the Democratic boss of the city, E.H. Crump, extended patronage to black community leaders, who in turn told their supporters to vote Democrat. Eventually some more politically oriented blacks began to realize Crump wasn’t doing anything for them, just bribing influential people for their support, and tried to make an alliance with the Republicans to break Crump’s power. The leading figure in this, Robert Church Jr., was driven from the city; his family mansion was seized by the city (which was informally controlled by Crump) and burned as a firefighting drill in retaliation. But for a brief period, the black vote became Republican again as Crump’s power waned, until the national party adopted the southern strategy, and it flipped back to Democrat.

    He actually may have seriously considered it if we don't buy into how overblown the modern media portrays his hatred towards them.

    For instance, he did set a cutoff limit in regards to who was a full on "Jew" if you do the research. See, Jews and Germans had been living in the same geographical area for a very long time. If he said "If you have even a single drop or scintilla of filthy Kikenvermin blood in you are a Kikenvermin now and forever and deserve to die!" he'd have been advocating for the genocide of most every German to have ever lived including himself!

    That is, he got that he and and the majority of his people likely had a Jew in their family tree somewhere (hence were technically part Jewish). Demanding absolute "purity" would be both stupid and suicidal from a logical standpoint.

    So, technically, he probably actually did wed a Jewess. Eva Braun likely had some Jew DNA in her. Not that it would actually matter to him at that point as she was still way more "German" than "Jewish" far as he cared to consider.

    Aw, he is adorable! I love it!

    And he is VERY well-spoken for a 3 and a half year old. Taking time to wait for responses before he goes on? Pretty darn good! A little leader in the making.

    Actually "make it nourishment for our bodies" is an excellent prayer for food these days. Lots of the times the nutrients are not very bio-available. So that prayer sounds good to me.

    I find that asking God for natural processes to continue to function results in pretty high rates of success. But God does not seem to answer many prayers for the laws of the universe to be suspended, strangely enough. From what I know of God, I’d guess that the boy’s prayer was answered in that regard, but I suspect that if he’d prayed, for whatever reason, for the food not to be digested after they ate it, God wouldn’t answer that one.

    Do you want me to start a thread with links for people witnessing as to how God suspended natural law for them and did a miracle? I can. There are so many stories of miraculous healings. This year I found Sid Roth's "It's Supernatural" on youtube and I like to watch once in a while just to lift my spirits. In the Catholic Church, every Saint canonized needs at least 2 well-certified miracles besides all the other checks, with expert medical testimony. I am sure any doctor can tell you they know of patients unexplainable healed who credit it to God's intervention.

    Prophets now, in huge numbers, like nothing I have ever seen in my life, are telling us that we are coming into a time of great spiritual revival, like never seen before, with many, many miracles of healing. There will be so many that no one can miss them, more than in any time in the history of man. So you will see miracles in your lifetime. I believe this is going to happen, because I believe the prophets I am listening to. I have been a Christian all my life, and I have never seen anything like the number and consistency of the messages of the prophets like today. I like to tune into them once in awhile too, to lift my spirits.

    And this little boy is thanking God for an every day miracle - food for today. Good for him. Many people don't take it for granted. Like the girl from North Korea I posted earlier. This boy is a dear friend of God, Who loves the little children. He is hearing their prayers, and children of the world are being blessed by them, as they are asking! No prayer is wasted.

    ______
    I agree, if they prayed for the food NOY to nourish the body, God wouldn't grant that. He is good, and that is not good. (But if you were praying for him to do a not-good thing, you would be praying to some other god, anyway. But I do think it is a good prayer because food is not always excellent nourishment for the body. Lots of overweight people are considered to be "starving" (so they are always hungry). A lot of food has nutrients that are good for you but barely bio-available. Also various dysfunctions in the body can make it not very bio-available (leaky gut syndrome, the need for enzymes, i.e.) So for that reason I personally I think it's a real good prayer.

    Cute 3.5 yr. old little black tike is leading the class in prayer, probably before lunch or snack; he is standing, all three feet of him, while the rest of the class sits patiently,, each line of prayer he leads the class and they repeat in unison. His childish accent is adorable and he speaks with real authority. Just totally cute!

    Here is his prayer and they all repeat after each line while he waits before boldly saying the next line of prayer, at the top of his little voice:

    Father God -
    We thank you -
    for this food. -
    We ask you to bless it. -
    Make it nourishment -
    to our bodies. -
    Bless ALL the boys and girls -
    all over the world! -
    to receive food -
    in Jesus name -
    Amen! -

    Interesting article from NBC on this.

    Another article: 5 segregationists Joe Biden praised before he was woke

    The media perception around this cretin is extremely surreal. The man has been a racist conservative Democrat all his life, but he runs against Trump and suddenly he’s the “most progressive President since FDR” (yeah lol, we’ll see how much of that pans out) and everyone just fucking pretends he’s not a racist conservative pedophile who gropes children and who has dementia who bragged about writing the patriot act and voted for the iraq war, because at least he’s not orange cheeto Drumpf...or rather because state control of media is comparable to that of the USSR. And conservative media does the same thing by calling him a communist.

    But Trump!

    What are you talking about? Biden surrounded by suited parasites who happen to be black? Yeah, the mob calling itself the Democratic Party has allied itself with the black contingent of the establishment. Everyone knows this and knows how this works.

    His TV image shows him groping children, by the way, if that’ll convince you he’s a cretin.

    Jesus, Biden openly was a racist, didn’t just “cater to” racists whatever that means, and all you can say is “what about Trump?” Why are Americans like this, lol. “My team is good because yours is bad.” Every American President since at least FDR (and I’d argue including FDR) has been a massive piece of shit who deserves to burn in hell for their crimes against humanity. None of them are remotely respectable human beings, they got their positions by being crooks, and in a sane world they all ought to be treated and thought of with complete contempt.

    I must once again tap a sign of mine. Know and learn this fact everyone: Carl Schmitt was right. It all boils down to who is your "friend" vs. who is your "enemy".

    You ALWAYS support your friends as you ALWAYS oppose your enemies. Morality means jack shit here. Friend good! Enemy bad! Failure to do this will result in your defeat.

    Case in point? Conservatives. They foolishly and moronically appeal to "reason" as if that overrides a moral vision. They think that you can win a literal HOLY WAR without a compelling religion to counter the enemy's. Perception>Facts. Ought>Is. I've posted variations on these facts a million times.

    Who is winning now and has been since the end of WWII at least? Liberals. Because they accept that I'm right. Sadly, my own side calls me names and banishes me to the outer wastes for daring to "sink" to the level of my avowed and Satanic enemy. I merely asset that you can only truly beat a Devil with an even greater Lord/God. While a cult can survive and exist without a God it must have a Devil. However, if you have a "cult" that has both a clearly defined "God" as well as a "Devil", well, you'll probably out-evangelize the cult that has but a devil. A "devil" that is clearly anything but in the minds of anyone sporting an IQ above 70 as the "Devil only" cult defines its Devil as your God. To make an obvious point, how is Jesus Christ the source of all the evils of the world? Try to make that argument without sounding utterly insane.

    Food for thought folks...

    I can see why you think that, but actually it's you that has been deluded. Understandably, though.

    Why are politics an area of discussion? They all are menial and failing work. If they had merit, they would resolve human affliction that they try, and yet they have not consistently.

    Some of us are interested in politics.

    They just are a fruitless idea and hopeless aim, and they defeat the purpose in which they try fulfill.

    Even if that was true, some of us still want to talk about it. Not everyone is apolitical.

    Yeah, but if the things the politics teach are untrue, why engage them? I suppose because it is more comfortable for the human who to go with what it has known.

    I just don’t understand why people find them such an appeal, other than maybe it is what they have gone with their whole life and thus have its familiarity and comfort. And feel a sense of purpose belonging with it. I am a generation Z.. It seems older people are more valuing of politics. They have less do and feel belonging, and they have known such way longer and thus have harder time in a letting go.

    Because they don't fail; politicians do exactly what the people who buy them want them to do. My point is that Americans think of politicians and political parties like football teams: uncritical or barely critical support of their preferred team and complete demonization of the other. The problem is that by saying their side isn't as bad, they're buying into the system and legitimizing it. A mindset like "yes, Bush II may have been the incarnate Antichrist, but at least he was more respectable than Trump" or "yes, Obama and HRC destroyed Libya and were responsible for the return of slavery, mass murder, and a general level of barbarism not seen since the Vandal invasion, but at least they were black/a woman" helps murders and psychopaths maintain their power and commit atrocities. It's ideology and therefore dangerous, which is why I try to talk about it.

    Yes I totally agree, people do cherry pick in this country so much it's disgusting.
    Spread the information on the corrupt system, because at least people might change their minds from this kind of thinking.

    @FreelancePoliceman Do you think Trump’s wealthiest donors asked for those tax breaks for the country’s top earners? Or did he just to that to benefit his family and friends?

    Why is the response to pointing out Democrats' hypocrisy always "what about Trump?" Why does everything revolve around Trump? Even if he were somehow worse than Obama or Bush, does it justify anything they've done?

    I'm not a conservative. I don't particularly like Trump, except in the sense that everyone and their mother realized he, at least, was a crook, which they aren't willing to see about anyone else. But for some reason despite any number of thousands other Presidents or politicians kill or impoverish, everyone acts like Trump is some unique evil, and not just a Bill Clinton v2.

    There is no evidence that depending on evidence is a dangerous game to play.

    "Christians walk by faith" - this is nonsense, at least when generally applied. Many people who claim to be Christians do refer to alleged miracles, both to strengthen their own beliefs but in an attempt to convince others.

    It is physically possible to heal an amputee, but it is clear that there is no evidence that "God" does such a thing that is so improbable at least in humans historically.

    Depending on faith is a dangerous game to play.

    Lol.

    Sorry but no.

    Faith should be primarily. Not signs and wonders.

    If you actually read the Bible this would be apparent to you
