Why doesn't God reveal himself to those who don't believe? (3 min.VID)

I provided you a link to Steven Pinker's TED talk. I hope some of his ideas resonate with you, he spent years researching the subject and also wrote a book on it. I can assure you he has an insane amount of evidence and sources to back up his statements. I have time to respond to it, but what is the point? You're just going to reply with more bullshyt.

You still talking but still havent provided anything to answer the questions I posed to the link you provided. I can watch that TED talk just fine. No problems there. But theres no point of me doing that, formulating an argument, just to watch you name call and ridicule. When you're ready those questions are still there waiting to be responded to or at least explained why they're not legitimate concerns in regards to the link you provided. You did none of that. And after, you have resorted to ridiculing and name calling.

Nothing I said was "Bullshyt" but even if it was, a debate is where that is clearly explained and shown. You havent done that. You hide behind insults. And now you're telling me Im going on ignore because I have questioned your links Its all good. You made your choice as I have made mine Stay well, do well with your people, and love your neighbor as yourself, friend..

 

[Just like bruddas]

the first min will explain it all

So what is the lesson of the Genesis account, in your opinion?

Do not trust the serpent. Who is the serpent is what you should be asking

Breh, I already posted my reply once. Why would I answer your questions again? See heres the post for the third time of me posting it.



- Now where did I say blacks are worse off then they used to be?
- Where did I say slavery was better or worse than it used to be?

I didnt say these things. Now if you want to reply to this post above (so I dont have to type this out again) thats fine and I'll be fine with answering any inquiries you have as to why I said what I said. But you projecting statements onto me isnt being logical or fair, friend

1. I might regret asking, but what leads you to believe that this is the MOST peaceful time in human history? I see alot of war, therefore, it is not peaceful.

2. I consider different things as to why its getting worse. The pathetic condition of Africa. The pathetic condition of blacks in America. The wealth inequality here in America. Slavery going on across the world in places such as India and China among other things. The most significant is that the leaders of our would are selling us out to be slaves.

Kok I hope you realize when multiple people talk about your perspective on reality being completely warped, we're not just talking shyt..It always fascinates me how humans can all be the same species but experience reality in COMPLETELY different ways. I mean hell, king might as well be living in an alternate universe from the one I am in.

Well if 6 million blind men tell me the sky isnt blue should I believe them? I've had at least 4 people in here say something, then when I formulate an argument towards what THEY said, they start whining and going off subject so they dont have to answer.

I mean, I dont know how you expect me to behave when I experience this. I missed this post, but its another one in which you again go off topic so you dont have to respond to what I've said. I've said somethings in here. Respond to those instead of saying the majority rules

 

[ill]

Now, you're right. You didn't SAY its worse. The only issue is that the implications of your statements IS that its worse.

Ok. And I provided the support for my point of view. Just because I provided support does not make my view correct. But did you or anyone else that I directed it towards respond to it? Nope. Yall called me a moron or dumbass, or illogical etc... Instead of responding to what I said and what I used to support what I said. Thats not how a debate works is it, friend?

You didnt address anything in this. And then you want to come and throw names around and ridicule when I didnt do such.

I don't blame Blake G. or Ill for not responding to that post because it's just a ridiculous position. And to be honest, if you're a black person too, you should really be ashamed of yourself.

You complain about debt and wealth inequality, and sure those are huge problems for many people. But at least we have the opportunity to seek higher education, and have the choice to accrue that debt. At least we can see a highly trained physician when we're sick, and have that medical bill. At least we're not living during Jim Crow where blacks were second-class citizens, and couldn't receive the same quality education/medicine/etc. At least sharecropping isn't our only option for work, and there are mostly successful social safety nets in place if we lose our jobs or something happens. You complain about blacks getting beat up. At least it's no longer common for a mob to lynch us for looking at a white girl the wrong way. At least we aren't ACTUAL slaves, and the property of another man. How dare you even suggest that we've got it worse now than any other time? Even if it's not a racial thing ... everything is just BETTER. You realize the economy was bad during other times in history, right? Do you not realize how fukking privileged you are? What a joke.

Now we're getting somewhere . We pointed out the fallacy of your argument and you didn't want to accept it.

You see a lot of war? Really? Do you live in the Congo? If you want to measure how peaceful or not the world is, its a RELATIVE scale. Meaning you take what you see and measure it against the past. This is one of the least violent times in human history.

You state the pathetic condition of blacks. While I don't disagree that blacks may have it worse off than others, you still have to compare to their past. For the US, blacks have more power, respect, money, and influence than at any point in time of their history here. So you consider that worse off than when they were owned by whites and beaten, raped, and killed at will with no legal consequences?

EXACTLY. I'm not black but if I were this guys parents, grandparents, great-grandparents I would be absolutely ashamed at what this kid is doing to their legacy and all of the torment they endured to create a better life for their future families.

See you finally responded though it wasnt directed at you. But you didnt respond to the points made in the post. So heres my point (while I will also respond to what you said since Im sure someone will come cheerlead what you have said

Debt and wealth inequality is SEVERELY important. The fact that you gloss over these is ridiculous at best. Why? Because that debt is gonna have to be paid. Who's gonna pay? The gov't? I dont think so. It will be me and you. The taxpayer. Or our children. Is that a positive outlook to leave for your children?

Breh, you (or blacks are if you're not black) are still second class citizens. Nobody said that blacks havent made progress, but look at unbiased news for once. They're still getting beat in thestreet by cops. They're still be wrongfully convicted (as I have). They're still being doused in negative media, with negative role models. When a positive one comes up, they get rid of them. Whether you think this role model is MLK, Malcolm, or Pac, all these people were silenced one way or another.

Brother, why gloss over the fact that blacks are still getting beat up in the street by the authorities?

You're free to leave whenever you want to leave the US. But speak up on whats happening in the world and you're silenced. I can make a list of people that this has happened to if you would like? But Im sure if you're as educated as I believe you are, you already know.

Privileged? Breh, Im stuck in America tryna figure out when I can experience true freedom. Not illusioned, but true freedom. I want that for myself and the next generation. But people are still too busy supporting this illusioned freedom.

I shoulda warned y'all, but some things are better understood by seeing them yourself.

You should have stopped at "Im not black". Because you're NEVER gonna know what its like to be discriminated against because of your skin color.



Not to mention, that I havent degraded anything that the past generation(s) have done. What I did say is that its not better. Anyone can tell you about thriving black communities before the civil rights movement. Where are those now?

Again, this isnt degrading the sacrifice that past generations made for future generations. Not at all. What it is saying, is that there was improvement made, but also regress. I could go over that regressing, but again, you still havent replied to that post that was directed at YOU. You waited for someone else to answer it and then go and cheerlead his response. I knew you or someone else was gonna do that.

 

[Everythingg]

Okay. Who is it?

Follow the money, and you have your answer.

I really got the run around from everyone in this thread, so please understand why I gave the answer I did.
