OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[TheParraboy]

Which hell?

Which one is the real one ?

I'm absolutely loving this.
I cannot name just one decent country or political leader that is supporting and backing Trump, besides the other nutcase Netanyahu. Or possibly Putin. And that says it all.
When the Poms, the French, the Italians, the Spanish, the Nordic countries, former Eastern Bloc countries, Canada, Brazil and even us and many others, will not support his policies, we know we are on a good thing. Even the Pope thinks he is a f**kwit. The Hungarians told Orban to f**k off after he had the full support of Trump. They were going to do it anyway.
The guy is a lunatic, and somehow, needs to be removed from power as soon as possible and be replaced by a more moderate leader who has actual communication skills and does not behave and speak like a teenager on social media EVERY SINGLE DAY.

The world is in a financial crisis because of the actions of ONE man.
The deluded, egotistical decisions of a man who has his finger on a nuclear button. Just think about that.

Not going to debate one way or another about Trump , I just wanted to point out that The Europeans ( especially UK and France ) , aren’t exactly in a position to be critical of anyone’s backyard in 2026 .

Here it is. You can walk through it today, just south of Jerusalem. Well maybe wait til the war is over.

Mate, the topic went onto talking about door knockers and you replied to my comment about door knockers and then you claim I'm claiming Christians don't evangelise?? It was completely off topic of what we were talking about. I replied to your graph, then the topic went on about someone watching midget porn and I claimed only JW's and Mormons door knock then you come in with a straw man.

We can certainly go back on topic but you may want to go and reply to what I have already said on the topic. If you want I'll repeat it. Majority of Christians do not care what others do in the bedroom. Christians may think something is wrong so they simply don't do the thing they think is wrong. Will some act crazy, sure they do, is that majority, no.
There is also another religion whom in my opinion is a lot more oppressive to gay rights, women and their own prophet married a 9 year old girl but we'll just target the evangelicals and cheer on that one which seems very ironic.
I disagree with evengelical christianity on a lot of things and you're targeting one small part which is mainly based in America and see Trump as the second coming of John the Baptist.

Happy to proceed sir, just promise you'll stick to the topic and not jump around creating straw men and shifting goal posts.

Lol. Ok Karen.

I still contend that Evalngelic Christians evangelise - spread the word - including through door knocking. It's not just JWs and Mormons.

If you want to continue to argue otherwise... you are forgiven.

Nice. You've worked it out.
That got what any post that began with "Oh dear" deserved.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

I can't say I've never had an evangelical Christian knock on my door. But that's only because I know one and they occasionally came to my joint.
Outside of that, has anyone else here ever had one come knockin?
Red shield appeal not withstanding

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Anyway, I have GREAT NEWS for everyone.
My heart feels lighter already.
I invite you all to rejoice and bathe in the eternal light that is Bahāʾī Faith.
A religion that invites one and all to seek their own salvation in the manner they choose.
No religious argument or admonishment is required.
Check it out peeps. There is a very nice temple near the top of Powder Works Rd, Just past Ingleside. PEACE!
Edit: Bloody Iranians.

Tell me war guy did not say a prayer that ended up to be fake Bible passage from what Jules said in Pulp Fiction.

Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person" or "against the man") refers to an argument or reaction directed against a person's character, motives, or personal attributes rather than the substance of their argument. It is a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit a claim by attacking the individual making it

So still not admitting that evangelical Christians door knock...?

Let me know when you're ready to stick to the topic - unless you consider that to be ad hominem? In which case why did you waste time starting with such ad hominem reactions when upset about what I was posting in the thread discussion...

Here's an example of the practice through guidance on door knocking with a biblical basis, from an evangelical mob in Adelaide.

Principles for Effective Door Knocking – Acts 5:42

Acts 5:42 equips believers with scriptural foundations and practical wisdom for effective doorknocking evangelism in their neighbourhood.

Simple google search puts an end to Snoochies getting their knickers in a knot about posts highlighting the concept.

See your flip flopping now. My argument was JW's and Mormons door knock. Then you say I say evangelicals don't evangelise (that wasnt my argument). Evangelicals do evangelise, they aren't known for door knocking. You know exactly who door knocks when you see 2 young men dressed in white shirts and tie and riding bikes, you know when you see a family wearing floral and dressed nice walking the street, you know who they are.
Your original argument was never 'evangelicals door knock' your original argument came in was accusing me of saying evangelicals don't evangelise to which I called you out for not sticking to the topic and you've gone all over the shop still.
I clearly laid out and replied to your original post about the graph, you've come in with name calling and never addressed the argument except shift the goal post and attack strawmen.

If an evangelical knocks, cool they certainly aren't known for it and it's certainly not what people complain about. And if they do door knock, the same applies, politely say not interested and move on.

In every case I've addressed your argument and never laid claim to you as a Karen. Not understanding your argument or calling out your failures is not Ad Hominem, it's correcting your errors and calling out your mistakes.
