I love how a topic I made back in 2014 is still managing to piss people off  Not people, just BADecker. Most of the pages of this thread are just full of BADecker preaching so he doesn't have to burn eternally after death (Isn't God so loving?) He clearly has nothing better to do all day, so he has to get his jollies from trolling forums I wonder if I am doing you a disfavor by presenting God to you on a regular basis. I mean, God, Himself, says that those who don't have as much opportunity to be saved, will be punished less than those who have great opportunity to be saved, and yet aren't saved. I guess all that I am doing is helping you to lock yourself into everlasting punishment a bit more firmly. But, if your attitude doesn't change, who in the world would want you in Heaven, anyway?  |

7 Reasons Why We Do Not Need a President "It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." ~Douglas Adams
No single human being should ever be allowed as much power as the president is given, no matter how competent, worthy, or wise they may be. Power can take down the most robust of characters. It's a fire that burns unless it is somehow dispersed and expiated. The irony is that nobody who wants to be president should be president, because they are the ones most likely to become corrupt, if they're not corrupt already. Lured by power, lured by the need to rule, lured by the need to control, those seeking power are the least fit to wield it. So it most definitely goes.
Sure, there might be exceptions out there somewhere. But it is highly unlikely. There may be a "Harry Potter" out there in the real world, who is willing to break the "Elder Wand" so its power doesn't have a chance to corrupt. But it is very doubtful. There may be a "Maximus" out there somewhere, willing to "defeat Rome" and "once all of Rome is his," simply walk away. But it is highly doubtful. Barring any real-life mythological heroism, power over others is simply too much responsibility for one person, or even a group of people, to handle. With that taken into consideration, here are seven reasons why we do not need a president.
1.) Power Tends to Corrupt
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." ~Lord Acton
This is the biggest reason why we do not need a president. The average human simply cannot handle power. As Abraham Lincoln observed, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Authentic power empowers others. Honest power has no need to cling to power, it releases it instead. It spreads it out. It expiates it. It empowers others.
We don't need a president with power, we need more leaders who understand the nature of power. We don't need a president for the same reasons we don't need leaders who are intent upon gaining followers. We need leaders who are intent upon creating better leaders. Authority be damned. Hierarchy be damned. The only thing that matters is the prevention of corrupt power, lest we inadvertently slip into a tyrannical state.
The president is given too much power. That's the bottom line. On a long enough timeline such power becomes corrupt. And here we are, living in a time where the corruption is rampant within a bloated, unhealthy, unsustainable system built upon violence and ignorance. And still, the ballot boxes are fat with the myopic votes of the blindly obedient.

Why is there no option for ALIENS?!?
I think we will find evidence of aliens before evidence of any god (as described by religions)
Who says there is not such an option? Perhaps it is simply your conception that is lacking. Non native life may simply be far more advanced then we can imagine entities of pure consciousness pure spirit. In the words of your forefathers Trancendental beings. Besides, talking about aliens is simply a distraction. If aliens made people into what they are, who made the aliens to be what they are? We don't have anything but a tiny bit of evidence that aliens had anything to do with anything. At the same time, we have the eye witness reports of the Bible about what has happened in history. |

Ofcourse I believe in God because he is our savior. He is always here for us to save us from harm. All we need to do is to praise whenever we are or what ever we do. God also give us leaders who guides to become a better man. God gave us parents who take care us when we are not matured. And also God gaves us talent, skills and knowledge so that we can engage in several problems in this world. So love God and put God first.
Are you absolutely sure about all that? We truly live in an era of smart phones and stupid people. * snip 4 images proving God doesn't give a shit about the welfare of little children* God doesn't do the above pictures. People do. If you hate this poverty so much, give more to helping these people, and to replacing governments that let or make it happen. There you go again, cherrypicking what your god is or isn't responsible for.  Either your god is responsible for everything, or your god is responsible for nothing. You can't pick and choose to your liking, that's absurd. Well, ask yourself about yourself. Imagine that you are a cab driver. You give a couple of guys a ride to a fast food place with the instruction to wait for them to get lunch, and then to take them on to another destination. They rob the fast food place. You don't know it. Are you a crook for earning a living, especially since you didn't know what they were doing? God, with good and right intentions, made people to be righteous. People could have remained righteous. The fact that they didn't isn't God's fault. If God had forced them into being unable to sin, they would not have had freedom, and they would not be people. Why do you want to place the blame on God when it isn't His fault? Are you afraid to accept His salvation where there is forgiveness for the sins? In the New Universe God is creating, there will be none of the pains and problems any longer. There will only be joy. Everything in this universe and life will be forgotten forever by those who go to the New Universe God is making. When you get to the quagmire of everlasting destruction that Hell is, remember that you are the one who didn't accept the way out. It wasn't God's doing. He sent me to you to warn you, and probably other people as well. But you, of your own free will, didn't listen. Turn and be saved while you have the chance. |

In addition, police supposed to be protectors. Google "police brutality" to see that they aren't protectors all the time. We need special training programs just to show us how to protect ourselves from cops... and we need the guns to do it with, as well. Alternatively, you could save a step and abolish police altogether, saving lives and everybody's financial resources. It's obvious the government creates crime so they can have an excuse to keep the police. It is fairly obvious that we don't need police. Police are people. People are people. Give people guns and let them do their own policing. Of course, break this project in over a 5-year period with training for the people. |

There is another reason why people reject flat earth. It's because they are worn out from laughing so hard at flat earth people. And then they become worn out crying over flat earthers deplorable condition. The rejection is simply looking anywhere else, just to keep from even thinking about it. I mean, gotta save some laughing/crying energy just to live life. |

You flat earth comedians are so comical. You continually show round earth science, and twist it into meaning flat earth. Great for a good laugh, though. What do you mean with "round earth science"? "humidity" can be on globe and flat earth. ps: I´m not saying earth is flat or not, because i don´t know it. And it doesn´t bother me what others believe in. That´s because i´ll never understand people like you @Badecker. Why are you so angry? Would be nice people like you would fight against injustice, war and pollution. No discussion is needed only action counts! injustice is injustice, war is war and pollution is pollution. There isn't any humidity on flat earth, because there isn't any flat earth... unless you mean water on the brain of flat earthers. You mistake determination for anger. Injustice exists in the flat earth program that is trying to sway the whole society into flat thinking. You know what flat beer is like. Why would you want a flat earth society? |

Notice that the talk said that the computers are so expensive that people will be able to rent time on them, but never be able to afford one. Let Bitcoin encryption change to match quantum computing level security. Then rent time on the QCs for use with your Bitcoin. Security enhanced by Quantum Computers. |

Hey, man! Thanks again for showing us, in yourself, the kind of people who believe the earth is flat. You ain't got no credibility at all! And neither does your false rocket science. |

Religion is a farce if you ask me.
I think it is said best in the movie that I watched recently "The Evil that men do".
It is said best in the opening conversation between the kidnappers of a young girl.
Watch it to know what they say about religion and how it is for the stupid people of the world to believe and follow to make themselves feel a purpose in life. Without that, they are nothing.
All people are religious people in one way or another, even if it is only in their personal religion. Most people are also a farce. So, you are reasonably right when you say religion is a farce. |

I am my own nation, and you can be yours if you want. Wish you all the best! But you won't go far without recognition. That's the problem with nations. If you come from a famous one, where the people are beautiful and wealthy, you're someone, but if you come from Yemen or Somalia, you're nobody. I wish I could travel all over the world without an ID, nor telling anyone where I'm from. I have heard a few more people say the same thing.. So do the drug smugglers.. so do the human traffickers.. so do the murderers.. so do the gun runners.. so do the terror groups.. So do the tobacco runners.. So do the gold and silver runners.. so do the robbed car van truck and motor bike runners.. so do the money runners.. so do nuke smugglers.. so do the house robbers loot runners.. Yes would be nice if we all had money were no need to worry about getting things.. But planet don't work like that.. Humans will do anything for money and i mean anything steal cheat lie kill all for cash.. Also how do we pay to travel all over the world?.. That's what is so good about common law nations, like the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, and India. The individual is sovereign over government. In the USA, it's by the Preamble, and the Bill of rights, esp. the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th Amendments. 6th you need to get rid of it  ..Well at least change it? Good for the guilty bad for the innocent .. The Amendments are good for the people, the innocent... and bad for government, the guilty. The 6th..fast speedy is it so?..Then if your innocent?..Bad for tax payers..good for guilty plea bargain.. And the 3 strike rule  ..Seen a guy get life for a packet of biscuits he stole .. Last strike left..Crazy rule.. That rule will make the streets and towns cities more crazy..On 2 strikes people will do anything to get away over a small crime like a packet of biscuits.. And then it makes no difference to kill people for money because you will get the same time for stealing a packet of biscuits out of a shop.. And sometimes in life if no jobs you need to steal some food.. If people don't use the Amendments, they are useless. Listen to Karl Lentz to see why people lose. Listen to Karl here http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-127469/TS-732953.mp3. This audio is over 3 hours long, but the first hour of it will show you a lot. If you take your time with it, you will understand how you can overcome government by use of law, in almost every circumstance. I'm not really that hungry, but popcorn does sound good. |

Yes, I believe in one God, Heavenly, universal parent of all people in the world, Parent of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindu, White, black and yellow, African, European etc. I believe that almighty God love us all equally, rich and poor, small and big... Unfortunately, many people talking about God in the terns. ''My God'' and ''my heaven'' or ''my salvation'' what is wrong. Can parent love one child more than other? Any parent know the answer  God made all the heathen peoples, and all those who don't believe in Jesus salvation. God loves them just like He loves His own, those who DO believe in Jesus salvation. God wants all people to believe in Jesus salvation so that they can be saved. But if they don't come to believe in Jesus salvation, they will be lost. God weeps over the lost. |

Ancient Rome tried to ban Christianity, they persecuted and killed christians. Ancient Rome collapsed but christianity is still here Yes, it's true. Did you think why? Ancient Rome was selfish state, greedy for power, money, luxury life, world political domination etc. Christianity was greedy for God's love, and loved people around them, helping and supporting each other, was fighting not for earthly domination or money but for eternal, god's kingdom. It's very obvious why Christianity is still here, after 2 000 years and Ancient Rome is not any more with us In America and many other countries, Latin is the legal language, and many of the old Roman laws prevail. |

On a flat earth it should be possible to see USA from Europe with an telescope - or not?
It should be possible. But flat earth people have invented a new form of perspective that doesn't make any sense at all. This new kind of perspective says that you can't see Europe from the USA because of perspective. They (flat earth people) are trying to cover all the bases. But flat earth is so wrong that they will never be able to do it. |

 Guns are made for one purpose, and that purpose is to kill. I believe that guns are not weapons, they are tools. How they are used is up to the person holding it. Guns are especially dangerous in the hands of people who don't know how to use them (i.e., kids and teenagers) as well as those who are mentally ill and/or have a temper problem. Gun control will not stop violence because a violent person doesn’t need a gun to be violent. After the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, support for gun control increased dramatically. Generally in America, the support for gun control has outweighed the support for gun rights. Are gun control laws constitutional? What would be your ideal set of laws regarding firearms? Yeah I think Guns was made to kill someone,. But not for kill everybody. Just for killing someone who have to be killed. Like a Terrorist, Coruptor, and other bad people in the world. You need a licesnce to use a gun, guns was not made for everyone. Just the chosen people. We see in mass shootings everywhere, that the protectors didn't come on time to save anybody. Everybody should have guns with them at all times, just to protect themselves. In addition, police supposed to be protectors. Google "police brutality" to see that they aren't protectors all the time. We need special training programs just to show us how to protect ourselves from cops... and we need the guns to do it with, as well. |

But this is what Coke a cola was made from originally in the 1930's-1950's until they discovered it should be considered a banned substance. Cocaine that is.  For thousands of years cocaine was used freely by all the people who could get a hold of it. And now all of a sudden, like within the last 100 years easily, some people want to take away the freedom of other people by making cocaine a controlled substance. They should make a form of Coca Cola that that has cocaine in it, and a form that does not. They should label them both so that we all know what we are buying. Then they should see which one sells the most. |
