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.

This is much lower than the percentage of atheists in the non-incarcerated population. Globally, the least religious countries have the lowest crime rates. <snip> https://secularaz.org/less-religion-less-violence/ 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?

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. He redirected 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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
