yes.

the commandment is not to make everyone believe in God by saying dumb shit.

I think it hurts the cause actually.

That's why I don't say dumb mierda.

There is a creation and there is a creator.

I'm not proselytizing...just refuting "There are no Gods."

These beady eyed heathens are free to believe in ...nothing.

Currently listening to Baud say that everything we do indicates that America and the West lacks confidence.....knows that we are on the wrong track....what we think are measures of strength are in fact demonstrations of weakness:

We've long since been aware of Climate Change and Global Warming. We've long since been aware of the plethora of undereducated leftists who can't help but say the stupidest things.



Example #1: "The entire earth is starting to melt!"


Example #2: "I have a chart, and the line keeps going up. You're the dumbass."

Reminds me of the hurricane chart where TACO drew in the area he was claiming a hurricane was going to!

As the previous link pointed out, wishful thinking and fantasies are one thing, but optimistic thinking and self-efficacy can produce positive results.

As for walking sky daddies, the fact it was primitive people writing that shit down says more about their perceptions of reality than reality itself. The whole "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness" may not mean bipedal hairless apes, but likeness in mind. Intelligence and self-awareness.

Self-efficacy, or your belief in yourself, is critical in how you think, feel, and behave. Learn how it is defined, why it is important, and its effect on your life.

Self Efficacy and Why Believing in Yourself Matters​

Self-efficacy is a person's belief in their ability to complete a task or achieve a goal. It encompasses their confidence in themselves to control their behavior, exert an influence over their environment, and stay motivated in the pursuit of their goal. People can have self-efficacy in different situations and domains, such as school, work, relationships, and other important areas.

Self-efficacy is important because it plays a role in how you feel about yourself and whether or not you successfully achieve your goals in life. Continue reading to learn more about this concept that is central to Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory, which emphasizes the role of observational learning, social experience, and reciprocal determinism in personality development.

There’s no magic involved.

You are either a believer or a non-believer (an atheist) or one who says he does not know (an agnostic).

I tend to believe that since creation exists all around us, there is a creator.

You, of course are free to believe whatever…perhaps in the tooth fairy.

Hope and change has nothing to do with specific policies or ideas. It’s about a specific as make America great again. Silly post.

Hope and change seem to refer to optimism for the future. Ronald Reagan spoke of it in his farewell speech.

And let me offer lesson number one about America: All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night in the kitchen I hope the talking begins. And children, if your parents haven't been teaching you what it means to be an American, let 'em know and nail 'em on it. That would be a very American thing to do.

And that's about all I have to say tonight, except for one thing. The past few days when I've been at that window upstairs, I've thought a bit of the ``shining city upon a hill.'' The phrase comes from John Winthrop, who wrote it to describe the America he imagined. What he imagined was important because he was an early Pilgrim, an early freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we'd call a little wooden boat; and like the other Pilgrims, he was looking for a home that would be free.

I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.

Yes, because if I don't believe in walking sky daddies that we look like, little glowing teeth collectors that give you money certainly would be high on my list of things to believe in. Sure. Let's say that. The Tooth Fairy and the Flying Spaghetti Monster got together and Sneezed Forth the Universe one day while gardening. May He touch you, with his Noodly Goodness, rAmen!
