if he wanted a square circle to exist, he very well could have chosen to do so

that's a bit of a silly question, don't you think?

it's like asking why he invented mathematics

Because it helps us

Creating concepts we can’t comprehend doesn’t

lmao wtf is this argument

not really

I’m not understanding his definition of perfect @Spergerger

it would be just like saying 'god lets me ask if 1 + 1 can equal 5 so therefore he can't be perfect'

Your definition of perfect implies that tho

although its interesting to see addie has fled the discussion on aquinas after claiming to understand it

But yea this is getting pedantic

Let’s move on to something else

are you atheist @Gromp

Agnostic

fair enough
i used to be

yea

edward feser and aquinas kinda christpilled me doe

Who dat?

feser is an american philosopher

does some good stuff on religion and god etc

Got any books of em?

i hvent read fesers books tbh
i just listened to like 10 hrs of podcasts etc

i assume they are good doe

Fair nuff

They on yt?

i was parroting some of dawkins arguments at the time

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

- If you could, how would you change how poltiical parties function in nations? Would you reallow militant wings, decriminalize advocation of violence, reduce/increase requirements on becoming an official party, change how parties spend/receive money, etc etc?

militant wings are retarded

What's a militant wing

Disband political parties altogether. Have individuals with individual ideas and beliefs backed by organizations.

@Rick Basically a part of a political party that acts as a small army of sorts

Form the vanguard, roast the pigs

Remove term limits they are retarded, remove money from politics, have a ballot system where you vote for your favourite candidates in order

Also eliminate parties in general

Candidates adhere to no party

Outlaw all other parties, make the militant wing of the party and the armed forces synonymous, term limit of ten years per head of state unless a vote of extension is cast

Removes the problem of partisanship

if you allow for violence then there wont be multiple parties for long, the most radical and violent will rule

Heres an idea

Ban political parties

Parties are an excellent method of organizing and structuring people with common sets of political goals and/or beliefs

Return to Roman Monarchy

@Spergerger basically the Sith party then

People vote on the candidate that values them rather than voting for them cause of the party they are in

@Spergerger good

Let the games begin

yes

So how would you organize a political race?

Cuz without parties only rich people could afford that

shoot the rich people

descend like a howling wolf upon the enemies of God!

jk

i dont advocate for violence

@Gromp every candidate who qualifies gets a set amount of funding

You cannot spend over that limit

@Gromp Without parties and money in politics anyone could become a representative @

Actually reduces the influence of the rich

You need money to not do stuff during the political build up tho

A construction worker can’t just quit his job

it could cause either a total atomisation of politics or perhaps a unitary movement

The state equally distributes campaign funds to every candidate no matter how wealthy they are @Gromp

either way everyone gets what they want/ deserve

So I could just candidate and get free cash?

You have to qualify

neet candidates

gimme political gibs

And how you spend your money is tracked and documented

No those funds would have to go to the campaign fully

What maksim said

Make each person who wants to vote have knowledge of what the candidate wants

for the country

Fair nuff sounds pretty bureaucratically costly tho

Cuz you’d potentially have to track millions of candidates

UK already does it @Gromp

To an extent

They set limits on how much a political party can spend on advertising

And track it

You have to have certain qualifications to become a candidate and also not everyone takes up politics

Like?

problem is in uk it isnt enforced
all the major parties do it and get away with it

Lived in the region you represent minimum 5 years, and be 20 years of age, 25 years for higher positions

there needs to be a quasi religious regulatory body that is tasked with the maintenance of that sort of system

Set an age limit

25 min, 80 max

So how would a parliament work? You’ve got one delegate for each region and then a president or what yo idea?

20-21 I think is fine, so long as you're out of school by then

I guess, encourage more parties and coalitions post-election, although allow minority governments as to not send the country into a flash election every 3 months

No president, also national parliament would be less important more so the local governing bodies, parliament would be a place to discuss how to cooperate and what laws act in the best interests of the people

Highest position would be a national board member or a senator

Ew

Localization is cringe

Abolish all localized governments

Only 1 central government

Revert back to nomadic tribalism

revert back to anarcho-nomadic-homofuturism

Change the requirements to forming a party to agreeing with me

@Eoppa based and redpilled

ifunny? Based department?

@Eoppa try gay sex

I love my woman

<:smugdoge:563733771161960469>

<:garfilf:606968189640769668>

@Maksim

I'll pray for you, you misguided soul

save it

as if prayer works

<:garfilf:606968189640769668>

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12082681/ns/health-heart_health/t/power-prayer-flunks-unusual-test/

Yeah that's cool and all

But ill still do it

And I already have

alright then

just watch as

nothing happens

before your very eyes!

because either
a) Your god doesnt care
b) He isnt real
c) he works in <a:sparkle:630806564785356821> ***mysterious ways*** <a:sparkle:630806564785356821>

Or God works in His own time.

or maybe he will wait a few decades to answer your prayer

Hey how many people do you think prayed that Hurricane Sandy would not hit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X9ygpi8WHA

Will continue praying for you

ok, except there is no evidence prayer does anything

Cool

Doesn't stop me from caring about you and praying for you

LET JESUS FUCK YOU

LET JESUS FUCK YOU

Nonsense brother, join me in prayer

he actually made things worse for them lol

I don't promise you happiness in this life, but the next

I hope you feel better

im fine right now

better than I *ever* was as a catholic

as a catholic I was miserable

<:garfilf:606968189640769668>

my life became unbelievably better when i left that asylum

and now i do everything in my power to help otehrs

ive already got my siblings to leave

@Riley Come home

@Simp im already home

in bed

im not going back to the roman catholic cult

and im glad i got my siblings out before the pedo priests got them

Are you a tranny?

That profile.picture comes from one of their comics

<:garfilf:606968189640769668>

Its better to be a tranny than a deluded Christian

Are you?

i was gonna call you rude but uhh...Im being rude too <:garfilf:606968189640769668>

sure am

<:garfilf:606968189640769668>

I'm so sorry

I know how their indoctrination feels first hand

It isnt too late

HAHA

INDOCTRINATION?

THATS IRONIC AS FUCK

<:xd:562563637781463046>

i wasn't "indoctrinated" by anyone

I had these feelings for years

then i interpreted them

you on the other hand, are being fed stories about magic men and bread that can turn into a dead jew

trannnie still spites god?

and your told to believe it based on faith

he is laughing at you, you amuse him

your also told that your not allowed to "put god to the test"

Everyone witnessing this, we've all shown Addie evidence and arguments, of which you proudly ignore

God loves you

The only thing I can do is hope

he loves all

and he loves your entertainment

your evidence is not good enough

idk what to tell you

what is good evidence for you

idk

lol

im sure ill know it when i see it

hmmmmmm.

Do not look for physical proof for God

You can only seek God in God

God simply is all,

you are his creation and he is dispersed within you

That sounds like pantheism to me

I gave lab reports, philosophical arguments, historical arguments, etc each one you brushed off by saying you aren't a philosopher

Don't give me the "your evidence isn't enough"

bruh

when have you ever gave a lab report

Eucharistic miracles

first definition yes, not the second

oh really? have scientists confirmed a Eucharistic miracle?

Yes, that's kinda the point bruv

i didnt know what is what called, thank you

Multiple

ok, real scientists?

or "scientists"

Dr Linoli has published many solid studies

The laboratory he worked in is unbiased and respected

God is just another term for matter, owing thanks for existence is not far fetched, its very easy to be grateful

it seems even *catholics* denounce his research tho

i just looked it up lol

They don't

i think i relate to the all image by the paradox of who created God? no one did he just existed, therefore he is all

It was sent to him because he's unbiased

goes hand in hand

yea here

https://forums.catholic.com/t/evidence-of-miracle-of-lanciano-is-a-fraud-please-read-before-jumping-to-conclusions/93839

well

this is one catholic

so i guess i mispoke

everything im looking at doesnt look good for Linoleum

Bruv

That person admitted he was wrong 3rd message in

?

where

```I stand corrected. Thanks```

im reading more about pantheism and no it does not apply completely to my beliefs@Simp

well maybe

o

lets try this

do you have a link

to his paper

or anything

seems there are two types of he is all groups

Because im finding very little on this guy

Mostly stuff from catholic sites saying "OMG JESUS"
