They should have probably boycotted him at the polls, instead of voting for him.
Well, if they don't turn around, they become far less effectual when dirt poor, thanks to the system they created. And the poorer they are, the faster they die off.
If you won’t pay for their education my attitude is don’t complain about their politics and try your best not to complain about their intelligence.
We already do pay for their education. What do you think the Department of Ed does? Title IX funding? It comes from blue states.
I try to have compassion
I'll have compassion for them, once they stop being class traitors.
I'll oppose my own government then. With force, if required.
France has maintained those since the founding of NATO because they side eye us in all things
Historically, the US shat on France every time we got the chance. Started about 2 years after they financed our revolution.
Bombs do not protect from bombs
So, why are we letting Russia run roughshod over Europe?
guns do not protect from guns
Dead nazis agree.
An M1 Abrams tank can drive that distance in an afternoon.
Just one thing...
No, it can't. Took us 16 days to drive a squadron of them from Kuwait to Baghdad. Most of the time they spent on flatbed tractor trucks, because of the a) fuel consumption per mile (Like 15 gallons per mile or so) and b) maintenance. Those things throw tracks bad on asphalt. But, they slow down a lot on dirt.
Are you trying to defend a strawman argument? Are you that daft?
No, I'm building on "credibility of sources". And the credibility for the sources of a single person, named Yeshua (Or Jesus, or Christ, or whatever) being the single person responsible for setting off the formation of a sect of judaism is... thin, to say the least.
In fact, most documents lack any credibility at all.
Let me ask you: Is it more likely the above scenario as laid out is accurate, or would it be more likely a group of reformists, started creating tall tales about things that happened, and speeches given, and every telling adding more fiction to each recounting, and possible a core group coming up with the "core story" of a man? Like how a group of people developed the persona of "Anonymous" back in 2007-ish? Or, do you believe there is a single person named "Anonymous" who did all the hacking and griefing too?
Basically, the latter is what I consider to be far more likely. Just like Hercules and John Mastodon. I do not believe either of those individuals spoken of all the time actually existed, and are rather an amalgamation of ideas, into one person. He is a meme. That's all.
The basis fir the consensus was explained.
Yes, I get it. The basis for consensus was "It's the dominant religion, so it must be fact".
By the same basis, Hercules existed.
So you have nothing to substantiate your counter claim
It's not my job to prove someone's conclusions. The onus for the evidence of existence lays with the person making the claim. And it's very clearly stated: There is no evidence. The best we got are some documents written by biased sources, half a century after the fact.
And you’re ignoring all the nuance explained there about why historians accept the existence of someone for what reason?
There's little to no nuance needed here: Is there evidence? No. Should there be? Yes.
You keep trying build strawmen as Im not claiming Jesus was divine. Why?
Because that's how credibility works. If you start your research at bad sources, you get to bad conclusions.
Does Xenu exist? I mean, Scientology at one point pre-internet, was one of the fastest growing religions, and they all talk about Xenu. Obviously, Xenu MUST exist, right?
I have offered a source with multiple linked sources that explains why this consensus exists.
It doesn't exist, though. And, if it did, it's consensus without basis.
In reality, any consensus that may exists, does so purely due to environment. Why are we trying to even prove the existence of such a person? Because it's the dominant religious belief in this country. I'm sure just as much consensus around the existence of Mythras the man exists, too.
What’s the proof fir this amalgamation idea you are claiming and how of you explain thousands of people all across that part of the world having the same beliefs and names for Jesus within 3-4 decades of his death and please remember this is 2000 years ago so news travelled slowly.
Because that's how cults start? Shit, have you seen how quickly Scientology has grown? Does Xenu actually exist?
News in the Roman empire took... well, as long as it took to walk from city to city. And the cultists were adamant about spreading the word. 100 years after the guy lived, of course.
Jail doesn't work for Nazis. The world learned only one things solves the "fascism problem".
