Imagine this: I go to Church every Sunday, but never pay tithing, drink coffee, tea, and alcohol, smoke tobacco, and privately disbelieve the majority of truth claims made by the Church. What would I be losing in this scenario if my desire is the social benefits of religion? ๐Ÿค”

I agree with Trump. I hate some people too. Hate is good. Itโ€™s the spice of life. God hates too. Why pretend to be better than we are?
What does President Trump think will happen to him after he dies? โ€œI'm a religious person, so in theory I go to heavenโ€ฆI don't want to go to hell,โ€ he answers. cbsn.ws/4BWRfgy

Yeah, heโ€™s right. If you have lived in the USA that long with a clean record you should be made an automatic citizen. Fuck it ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿค™
Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the โ€œpretty far rightโ€ and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay. Follow: @AFpost

I love Joe Biden, ngl ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿค™๐Ÿค™
I want to share a brief update. My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy. While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know. Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I wonโ€™t be able to do as many conversations about my book as Iโ€™d hoped. However, Iโ€™m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves. Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America. We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal. Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

Do you REALLY believe human beings are rational by nature? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
So true xtreme apologia. Why would they die for something they knew was false when they had ample opportunity to denounce it or flee?

What if the foundational metaphor of modern neuroscience and AI is completely wrong? For decades, weโ€™ve treated the brain as hardware and the mind as software. If thatโ€™s true, conscious AI is inevitable. But philosopher Dorothea Olkowski contends that the "brain-as-computer" metaphor is a fatal scientific error. True consciousness doesn't emerge from cold calculation in the cortex, but from the ancient brainstem, steeped in hormones, emotion, and bodily chemistry. You cannot reduce a living, chemical signalling system to binary logic. Tap the link to read more. iai.tv/articles/the-brain-isโ€ฆ

1. In any world, I am myself. 2. The purpose of life is joy. 3. Free will seems real, therefore it is.

I donโ€™t support abortion, but I also donโ€™t mind the kind of people I donโ€™t like not reproducing.
๐Ÿšจ WHY I SUPPORT ABORTION RIGHTS I believe women should have the right to decide what happens to their own bodies. Pregnancy affects a woman's health, future, finances and entire life. No woman should be forced to continue a pregnancy against her will. Medical emergencies make this issue even more urgent. When a pregnancy threatens a woman's life or poses a serious risk to her health, she should have immediate access to abortion care without unnecessary delays, legal intimidation or political interference. A woman should never have to wait until she is at death's door before doctors are allowed to save her life. You can personally oppose abortion without forcing your beliefs on everyone else. Bodily autonomy matters. Medical care matters. Women's lives matter. The question isn't whether you would choose abortion. It's whether you have the right to make that decision for someone else, even when their life is on the line. I support the right to choose, the right to safe medical care, and the right of every woman to make decisions about her own body.

True, but in the context of modern Mormonism, it means give the Church 10% (gross or net? ๐Ÿค”).
You've heard this scripture in the Book of Malachi a million times. "Bring ye all the tithes onto the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house" This is not a command to the members. It's a continuation of a set of rebukes against the priests of Levi-the leaders of the church. They were not being good stewards of God's tithes...
