Premise 1: Much of our media and government believe men can become women.
Conclusion: Truth in media and government is lacking; one should be skeptical.
Hi

No, I don't know that it's the media that thinks that. What the media does is report to us that there are a lot of people out there in our little world that think that. As for the government, our government is not established as the strict muslim governments. Where they are the 'moral police'. You do know that there are 330 million or so people living within the borders of our nation...right? Do you really believe that you're going to rule over all of them with some hard moral law? Like God hasn't already tried that! He has given us, all of mankind, a moral law to live by. Not everyone wants to honor His laws and commandments. Heck, even Israel wouldn't put up with it for more than a couple of hundred years at a time. You do remember why God removed His Shekinah Glory from the midst of His people...right?
Source of covid. Honestly, at this point I don't now and don't really much care. I'm just thankful that we were able to get a handle on it just as we did 100 years ago and 100 years before that, etc. etc. etc. Do you believe that the four horsemen are already loosed upon the earth? I do! So I expect these things to come. God's word has promised that they would.
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Yes, I believe that masks do offer some protection against airborne viruses that can be breathed into the lungs.
You can get covid if you get the shot?
I haven't seen any evidence of that, but even if so, I'm pretty confident that it's at a much lower rate than the virus was spread in other ways. I do know of people who were vaccinated that got covid, but I don't know of any that thought it was because of the vaccine. The vaccine doesn't prevent one from getting covid, so how in the world anyone could even prove that the vaccine was the source of someone's covid infection is quite beyond me. But if you have evidence of such a thing, I'd be happy to look at it.
51 top ranking people and majority of news media said Hunter Biden laptop story Russian disinformation?
That's another issue that I really don't care about. Hunter Biden isn't anyone to me. He isn't the president or a legislator or some other elected official that I would have voted for. He's a private individual who happens to be the son of a pretty well known and politically connected father. That's not a sin. He has lived his life and as many men and children do, he has had struggles with sex, drug addiction and maybe alcohol. Sounds a lot like me in my younger days, so I'd be hypocritical to condemn him of such activities.
As far as the money he made in his working life, he seems to have been very well paid as a consultant to several companies. As far as anyone has yet laid out, there doesn't seem to be any major connection between his work and his father's business in politics. He may have gotten some of his money because he was the son of a respected and powerful politician, but that's true of pretty much every president's child.
So, since he's not holding an elected position, I really don't much care about what he does in his private life so long as it's a reasonable life. And as I explained, Hunter Biden's life is about as reasonable as my own. He just makes a lot more money than I do. I don't begrudge him that any more than I begrudge all the 'fairly' wealthy what they have. I try not to break that one about coveting other people's money or stuff. He's a man who's living a life. If I had elected him, then yes, I would care about how he lived...to some degree.
Oh, I have no doubt that weather patterns and conditions are warming. I mean you really can't look at all of the lost ice of the polar caps and other icy areas, and not see that we must be in a warming trend. However, my problem is whether it's something that God is in control of...or something that man has done. How do we know really, that the earth isn't supposed to go through 'cycles' of temperature swings? Since the Scriptures say that the earth is reserved for fire, it could be God warming it up in preparation for the big barbecue.
So, no. I don't deny that the earth is warming over what it has normally been over the last centuries. I'm just not particularly concerned really that even if it does continue to melt the ice, that a lot of coastal area will be lost. Yes, I've seen the pictures, please don't send them. I do realize that they are computer generated and may or may not represent what the coastal areas of the earth will actually look like in a hundred or two hundred years. Further, a one foot change wouldn't change a whole lot, although some bridges may need to be raised. Most coastal areas that I've visited have at least a 1 foot rise of beach or cliff face.
Iraq had (or about to have) nukes?
Don't know much about that, but I've always believed that if any nation had them, then in fairness, all nations should be allowed them. If we want to convince other nations that they shouldn't pursue nuclear armaments, then we need to get rid of ours first. After all, the U.S. is the only nation that has used them, so other nations have a right to be wary of our armaments and want similar stuff. I mean isn't that the NRA's mantra? More guns!!! If everyone had a gun it would be a safer place because we could all protect ourselves from the crazies. Well guess what? That's exactly how other nations see us! The protection from nuclear war is to have nuclear weapons of our own. You see how that works?
That's a country in Southeast Asia. Let me guess, you're still carrying the flag for a 50 year old war. I'm going to guess that you also have a Confederate flag at your home or on your car. Vietnam was a bad war and we shouldn't have gotten involved. If what I have learned about our involvement is true. Which is that we went there to help the French maintain control of their sovereignty. But it's over. It's done. I can let it go, now.
Twitter manipulated by CIA/FBI?
Umm, I guess you want me to say, "Ok, if you say so." Got any proof by any chance?
I believe that believers in the one true and living God should be more stable in their thinking and understanding. That they should be people who seek after truth and search for that truth and look for proof of what they believe. I'm not one to read a story on some wild eyed media site that tells me some really out there story and not want to see the proof. So look, if you've got some proof to support any of your complaints, I'm more than happy to look at it.
God bless,
Ted
