Uh...that is hardly an apt comparison.

That the EU and Europe are not the same is a base fact.

That G-d exists is a matter of opinion.

Are you just here to preach your hate against theists?

??? Where the hell did that ad hominem come from? You can stomp your incredulous foot all you want, its not a matter for this thread



The fact remains eu an europe are interchangeable in every day conversation. You dont like it, tough

Because you made a statement that G-d doesn't exist and that is contra to the rules. If you are just here to preach antitheism, please don't.

It is used in common speech, but when typing extra care should be taken to use the right word to express meaning.

Again, that doesn't make him a centrist because a centrist is not an authoritarian. Hitler's policies had some "socialist" aspects, but it wasn't leftist economic socialism because the Nazis weren't adverse to capitalism itself. They were not egalitarians at all. It was a sort of racial "socialism" where community is based on their racial theories. They believed that if you were an "Aryan", your genes were like gold but they still had a social hierarchy within that in that there would still be class inequalities (a German peasant would be worth more than a Russian university professor in their eyes). They were like Fascist Third Positionists in that they didn't believe in Marxist class conflict, but class collaboration.

Your limited perspective of the range of political opinion has no basis in reality.

Authoritarian can range from far left to far right, Stalin for example was left wing, wheras trump is neo conservative.

That has nothing to do with what I said. Trying reading it again.

Trump is not neo-conservative. That was a political ideology that was strongest during the Bush, jr administration. Trump is an opportunist sham posing as a right-wing populist.

Is it against the rules?


I actually said, and i quote "People have been saying god is truth for millennia, also wrong and people should stop doing it."

And i didn't mention gd at all, you are bemoaning me for interchanging eu and Europe while you refuse to spell out the word god. Do you not find that somewhat hypocritical because i do.

I read what you wrote, you denied that to be authoritarian you cannot be centralistic. That shows a misunderstanding of political motivation

Trump is far right, (neocon) authoritarian

It's a Jewish custom done to respect G-d and to make sure His name is never erased.
Why "G‑d" instead of "G-o-d"?

Yes, it is against the rules to make a statement like that. It has to be 'I believe x' rather than 'x is/isn't'.

So misspelling a name is tradition but using common, traditional language you disagree with, you explain it well, its one law for you and what you dictate for everyone else, fair enough,

So evidence is not taken into account in the rules while superstition is?

It's not a misspelling and there's a good reason for it. I gave you the link. It's not like calling the EU 'Europe' because they are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. I'm not sure why you can't understand this.

G-d = G o d
EU =/= Europe

Simple.

Creating (or linking to) content intended to convert/recruit others to your religion, spirituality, sect/denomination, or lack thereof is not permitted. Similarly, attempting to convert others away from their religion, spiritual convictions, or sect/denomination will also be considered a form of preaching. Stating opinions as a definitive matter of fact (i.e., without "I believe/feel/think" language, and/or without references) may be moderated as preaching.

G-d equals two letters and a hyphen, it is not a word. Could be a bit of algebra, mathematical formula (see below for an example)

It is not an opinion that some people claim god is true, nor is it opinion that e=mc^2 shows that the god of Revelation 19:6 kjv cannot exist in this universe at the same time as you, nor is it opinion that in over 10000 years if deity worship not one of several billion worshippers has ever been able to provide evidence thast gid is true... Not one.

...that's why the believers have to type 'I believe G-d exists' not 'G-d exists' as if it were a fact. Likewise the Atheist has to type 'I believe there is no G-d' not, 'There is no G-d'.

It is not my belief that e=mc^2 is not fact, it is fact and has never been disproved. It is not my belief that no theist has never provided evidence for the claim god is true, it is fact

It's referring to religious beliefs. Not scientific fact.

Why do I have to spell this out for you??

On this forum you can say 'I believe no theist has presented good evidence for his position,' because it is not a fact. And I don't care how you feel about this. The same as the theist has to say 'I believe the Atheists haven't presented good evidence to disprove the existence of G-d'.

If you don't like the forum rules that's not my problem.

Vanakkam,

Huh? Le Pen can't win.

Macron / Lepen is confirmed for the second turn...Unfortunately a lot of people already planning not to vote or to vote blank in second turn.
Considering the score between Macron and Lepen was already really close this first turn... She Unfortunately might have a chance.

Aum Namah Shivaya
