The time to believe something is when there is solid, credible evidence.

The claim is...there is a god(s). There is no evidence, as you so kindly admitted to above, so I dismiss the claim and don't accept it.

 

Same goes for unicorns, fairies and leprechauns, but based on your above reasoning, you must believe in all those too❗🤣

Yes, It was MUCH better back then, but even in '95 I saw the beginnings of everything so much more so broken as we're seeing today.

And also yes, in 2000, we saw the internet much more accessible for everyone in the world, and I truly believe that the internet <mixed with humanity> is to blame for the complete breakdown of cultures and society as we knew it all over the globe, despite it also being such a great turnpoint at the same time.

In 2013, the Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that less than 1% of inmates in the United States prison system identified as atheists. This is much lower than the percentage of atheists in the non-incarcerated population. 

Globally, the least religious countries have the lowest crime rates.

Everyone has an agenda, and will change their whole ethos to get through a trauma (i.e. prison).

When incarcerated, inmates will often turn to god as they don't have access to drugs and alcohol as on the outside... and appearing as god-fearing individuals that they weren't before they were caught, may pull on the heartstrings of the prison board they need to be judged by throughout their term.

Could this survey be completely and obviously flawed?

Wrong and "wronger". You clearly have no understanding of what reason means and therefore have no reasoning ability. What you have is faith...no evidence, nor rational reasoning required.

I'm not making the claim that there is absolutely no god or gods. Only that there is no credible evidence for said claim to convince me otherwise. None, zero, zilch...you said it twice yourself. Thanks for at least being honest about something. No evidence for such an extraordinary claim = I don't buy into it and therefore don't believe it. I have no use, nor interest, in superstitions or faith...especially blind faith in any deity claim.

Not "completely", but it is a fair point, tho not all crims are addicts/alcoholics. Your point certainly could account for some discrepancy. However, it is true that the least religious countries and US states have lower crime rates. No flip-flopping discrepancy there.

Does he intend to obey the US constitution? Or is that just a minor detail which you ignore?

How about peaceful transfer of power? Do you think that is important - and not just when he actually won?

Whatever you took. It was too much.

 

Of course Trump will obey the US Constitution. He always has. If you think he hasn't, it's because you have been brainwashed to believe the propaganda the globalist, legacy media is feeding you. Again this is not a criticism. We were all asleep and believed them at one point. But each of us eventually has to accept how badly we were duped.

Trump bypassed Congress in several instances, such as redirecting military funds for the construction of a border wall. Courts ruled  these actions unconstitutional.

Trump’s frequent attacks on the press and attempts to block critics on Twitter led to accusations of undermining First Amendment protections. A federal court ruled his blocking of critics violated constitutional rights.

No

But for all her faults, I think she was still the lesser evil. 

The problem with American politics is obviously that there is way too much money involved. Ordinary people, who are not rich and don't have lots of rich supporters have almost no chance to go up in politics.

The lobbyist and superrich make sure the American people have only the choice of people which the rich want.

Per the Constitution, unless they’re given an illegal order, they are supposed to obey. 

 

If they are given an illegal order, they should resign, and tell the press why.

As is everyone if they're honest, as gnostic deals with knowledge and no one knows for certain on either side. I consider myself a lifelong "A-theist"...without theism. A nonbeliever. An atheist. But if we're splitting hairs, then technically an agnostic atheist. Don't know for certain, but certainly don't believe.

KING!!!!! NO... off with your head ,,

 

What You Need is a revolution by the working people to take power from the  ELITE, the Media  and The Systems of divide and rule ...

You need a metitocracy  based on best person for the job , rule of law , rule by the people from the bottom up ,,, a regulated  social market economy ,,minimum living wage and a maximum  salary for entrepreneurs not more than 20 times   Living wage.   

And most important, is strict control of those  chosen to run public systems including  severe punishments for corruption , greed, incompetence and malfeasance,, from imprisonment to death .

We sure don't matter to the Dem elite, who decide to keep RFK Jr off the primary ballot, tried to keep Trump off all ballots, then decided to swap out the candidate with 14 million primary votes in favor of a candidate with zero primary votes.

 

Democracy isn't the problem.  Democrats are.

 

Delusion can be a very very powerful thing, do you really think that you matter to Trump?Give it about a year and you'll realize that you absolutely don't.

Harris was a terrible choice and a terrible candidate, but even Miley Cyrus would have been a better choice than Trump.

True. I consider social media to be the most destructive force in contemporary culture today. Children are growing up now in a world where they expect immediate response, gratification and notification. Their brains no longer have time to evolve; they must adapt to change in an instant, and the results are distressing. The difficulties of growing up have never been so public. Social technology provides a platform where things can run wild. Imagine the stress of high school – the competition for popularity, the pressure to fit in, the judgmental nature of social activities – at an accelerated pace. We try to protect our children from wandering off into the darkness on their own, and it turns out they are doing exactly that – online. When they get older and “ready,” we send them off to college, where they face more pressures. But social media has an infamous dark side and the more people share, the more serious this side becomes. As it turns out, living your life online has serious consequences for your self-esteem, your relationships, and your career prospects. 

 

And it is a strong indication of just how bent, warped and misguided contemporary culture and society is, that someone can be considered an idol or celebrity just because they have alot of followers on Tik tok, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

At least people in some countries recognized this big problem and they are working on solutions that kids don't use social media or any smart phones until they are "old enough".
