There isn't any real policy cohesion in the GOP because their goal isn't policy but to win elections using soundbites and political gimmicks.
So they go from day to day saying things that are then contradicted by the bills they pass.
And their supporters get whiplash trying to defend the opposite of what they defended yesterday.

God revealed the truth to them;

benalvino3:
It’s like saying not to have sex without protection, but FAFO. Now that you have HIV

benalvino3:
That's the part you don't understand. Adam and Eve had eternal life,

budaatum:
Did you not say its a fairy tale? If that's true, no God revealed anything and we are talking about a story in a book, likely written by ancient men who by nature were anti-feminists. And if that's the case, one must consider the years of programming some have done with the book.

I put it to you that in order to enslave people you must have more knowledge (power) than them for starts, and you must deprive those you enslave of that knowledge least they acquire it and rebel against you.

If Adam had died when he ate the fruit of knowledge I would agree with the above, but in the case of Adam it was more like saying not to have sex without protection or you will turn into stone, since Adam did not die as he was told he would if he ate the fruit of the tree he was told not to eat.

The God in that narrative lied, but I guess you can't admit that least you burn in hell.

You can't be working for or supporting the Liar in Chief and not be a liar yourself.

Pull the other one, why don't you. Adam was 130 years old when he was kicked out of the Garden, which showed he was only willing to obey his master for that long, or rather, had to because it took that long for Eve to have had enough of slaving.

Point is, Adam never asked for any eternal life, and I don't think eternal life is even worth it if it meant eternal naked ignorant slavery. Arguing otherwise is like claiming Nigeria would have been better off it it had remained colonised today, or the blacks in America and South Africa would have been better of if they had remained slaves and apartheided respectively.

Some may indeed like the little they have as slaves, but some of us would trade die for our freedom.

The thing that bothers me the most is that she lies and knowingly lies in such ridiculous ways everyday while wearing that huge cross around her neck.

cococandy:
She’s everything wrong with their party in human form. Such a vile being

benalvino3:
Nigeria might have been better off had it remained colonized. I am not joking when I say this. Out of nearly 70 black nations worldwide, none are truly developed.

what do so when someone tells you they consider themselves inferior? You take their word for it

benalvino3:
Out of nearly 70 predominantly Black nations, can you name one that is developed or not a 3rd world country? Most of these countries gained their independence 50 to 60 years ago. Now, if we compare that to Singapore, what differences stand out? What prevents us from achieving similar progress? We have more resources.

IjeBos:
You might want to open up a history book or ask chatpgt to explain to you what was happening in Nigeria prior to 1960. In a way with gravitas of course.

My fault you should understand it as your mind is still colonized and hasn't gotten it's independence yet.

Adam was given dominion over everything in the garden.

basilico:
God had told Adam to "Go ye forth, be fruitful. Multiply and fill the whole world".

benalvino3:
Budaatum, basilico, Raumdeuter, ono, Zendi. This video encapsulates why we prefer living in Western countries. In our culture, we lack a concept of maintenance, which is exactly why farms are struggling in South Africa.

You tend to blame the white man for sabotage. We leave our country to study abroad, and more often than not, we hesitate to return because we know that the knowledge we have gained will not be utilized to improve our country due to corruption and other selfish factors.

When I say we are not yet ready to govern ourselves or fully prepared for independence, this is precisely my perspective. You cannot add to or take away from this.

benalvino3:
You don’t need to possess superior knowledge in order to enslave people.

benalvino3:
So why didn't you agree? Adam died, didn’t he? You might argue that he didn’t die instantly, but is that really the point? If I shoot you and you die a day or two later, does that mean guns don’t kill?

budaatum:
Yes you do need to possess superior knowledge in order to enslave people. Ignorant people don't make ships to travel hundreds of miles with guns they made to go enslave anyone. And if the people you want to enslave have superior or at least equal knowledge, it will show in their ability to resist being enslaved.


If you shoot me and I die 10 years later, it could still be said that you killed me with your gun, but if you say I will die if you shoot me and I live another 10 years after you shot me, most might conclude you are either a lousy shooter or your gun is fake.

Regardless, Adam was very very fruitful after he was supposed to die but instead gained independence, for not only did he bear Seth and Cain and Abel and a few others, his descendants are said to have populated the earth. If that's death, kill me now please.

budaatum:
The dominion Adam had over the garden was no where close to “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground” that was given to the image of God who was also paid a whole lot more than Adam was paid, including the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

budaatum:
The fact that you are not joking is what makes this sad. If you read what you wrote carefully and stretched a bit, you would hear yourself say you would rather be a slave than a free man so long as you are fed. This is the ignorant mentally amongst most blacks. They refuse to pluck the fruits of tree of knowledge and emancipate themselves because they are programmed to think knowledge will kill them.

It's however not only a black people thing. Britain was enslaved to Rome for like 1500 years until an Eve gave King Henry knowledge to eat which opened his eyes so he could see to tell Rome to go do one. We Nigerians will do the same when we too finally eat fruits of knowledge and our Eyes open and we see. And thankfully, it wouldn't take us 1500 years because time moves faster now.

basilico:
Our excuse is that when we go study abroad the white man offers better pay than back home, resulting in brain drain
On the other issue of colonialism, I look at Taiwan and Korea, They were also colonized but are highly developed today. A black dominated country , Trinidad and Tobago performs better than other black nations.

cococandy:
He said they will consult him for cost saving measures

Would’ve made more sense to build the cost savings into the bill so that it won’t become another political brouhaha in the near future but what do I know?
