You attempted to reason with America's Taliban... Purely a small minded cult, who fear and reject anyone not in their cult. And actually, the god they worship is a golden calf worship of the golden calf is seen as a supreme act of apostasy, the rejection of a faith once confessed. Their modern day god they worship is the Golden Toilet

LOL - Gaud I love how many religions believe their gaud is the only gaud. More absurd is the concept that their gaud loves their country and that their gaud can be bribed and bought off. The magic dude who floats around in the sky and grants wishes - if you only give enough and believe enough - if he does exist - is bat shit crazy. Those that follow the magic dude and model their lives after him, pretty much model the bat shit crazy part.

lol quite the little "debate" Murder is semantics. You can only "prove" what any given society thinks is murder at any particular time. Clearly lots of wingnut Trump humpers don't find capital punishment to be "murder" or killing people with bombs- nuclear, conventional or otherwise- as long as it is Murrica doing the bombing. But talk about scraping out a small ball of cells that might become a baby and you are into "murder". There is no reasoning with zealots. I don't care if they want to believe it is "murder" and they don't want to get abortions- but forcing that kind of nuttiness on a whole society? That's fucking not the way most Americans want to live. Theocracy just doesn't have the appeal it once did- except to nuts, obviously.

Gish Gallop - throw so many contentious facts and statements that are often falsely attributed to the opponent and it becomes impossible to defeat. If I were to debate you on the "Supremacy of My Ant God and the Deception of the Grasshopper Beast" - a bad-faith actor can blow smoke more quickly than a person of good faith can extinguish it. These folks have been on SI for more than two decades doing the same Punch and Judy act. I simply won't play - there is no honest consideration of facts - there are simply a series of "gotchas" and bannings, followed by group pats on the back. This is a cult of stupidity - staffed by volunteers. SI cosmicforce don't play that!
