- are you saying Zionists do in fact have JHVH on their side?

He never really liked them very much... called them a 'stiff-necked' people, gave them over to slavery for 400 years, made them wander the desert for 40 more just for good measure.

And these same writers in the OT predicted the world as we know it will end on top of Israel's head when they rebuild the 3rd Temple and all their neighbors attack them.

So there's that.

You're just in denial. Hopefully that will wear off.

The payoff is that if these predictions they made happened, then other predictions they made about the End Times they may also happen, too.

And Trump is actually one of the possibilities of literally dozens of predictions by some of the same people coming true.

Who's being purposefully obtuse now?

- These are parlor tricks.

Really? We have the dates of the predictions, verified by scientific methods, and the dates of the events which are well known. How is that a parlor trick?

- true stories

No, they predicted events 100's of years, at least, before they occurred.

If you had that ability, you win at the Belmont Stakes.

Do you have a VISA for this thread?

It gives credibility to the authenticity of the documents as credible writings credited to the revelation of God.

Which point I noticed that you avoid by claiming that it was of no matter whether there is a God or not, sans any argument why that is so.

Which is why I called that progress.

- None.

That appears to be an obfuscative claim sans any argument WHY it doesn't matter. Again.

Many bible predictions that have come true:

Many people, across various faith traditions, believe that a substantial number of biblical prophecies have been fulfilled throughout history, citing this as evidence of the Bible's divine inspiration.

These prophecies generally fall into two main categories: those concerning the life of Jesus Christ and those detailing the fates of nations and cities."

Other prophecies relate to the rise and fall of ancient empires and cities, which are often supported by historical and archaeological records:

Fall of Babylon: Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesied the utter and permanent destruction of Babylon, specifying that it would be conquered by the Medes (Isaiah 13:17) and eventually become a desolate swampland, never to be inhabited again.

History records that Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered Babylon in 539 BCE, and the city fell into gradual ruin, eventually becoming the uninhabited ruins found today.

Destruction of Tyre: The prophet Ezekiel (6th century BCE) made specific predictions about the Phoenician city of Tyre, including that many nations would attack it, its stones and timber would be thrown into the sea, and the site would become a bare rock for spreading nets (Ezekiel 26:3-12).

Alexander the Great fulfilled this in 332 BCE by literally scraping the ruins of the mainland city into the sea to build a causeway to the island fortress, which led to the city's final demise.

Restoration of Israel: Prophets like Ezekiel and Jeremiah foretold that after being scattered across the world (the Diaspora), the Jewish people would one day be gathered back to their ancestral land and re-establish their nation (Ezekiel 36:24; Jeremiah 16:15).

Many see the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948 as a key fulfillment of this prophecy."

It was of course argued that the predictions were actually written after the events.

Until the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered between 1947 and 1956... and they contained these writings dated to the correct period hundreds, and thousands, of years before the events.

Jeffy is killfiled because I felt bad beating him up... lft is killfiled because I felt good beating him up.

- Why haven't there been other prophecies that come true?

Who says they haven't? Literally dozens of them point to the Devil in the WH.

Even South Park knows that.

- It has no material bearing on anything in our world if your G-d exists or is a mythological construct.

I'm going to call that, 'progress', lol.

- Changing punitive practices and investing in more support

Trumpers are never going to fall for that old liberal trick!

93 percent of abortions were occurring at latest in the 13th week, most of the rest being medical problems... when the GOP was insisting on 15 weeks or no weeks.

The whole debate was rwing propaganda, much like immigrants being taken by ICE are all criminals... or that they eat dogs and cats.

Or that Trump is the best President the world has ever seen.

- You're being obtuse.

Not an argument, a derogative claim.

I'm repeating the conclusions of most historical scholars; Stalin was not the Fake Atheist you make him out to be to satisfy your other claim that, "But it wasn't atheism that drove them to do those things.".

Who told you that, the Flying Lasagna Monster?

You made that claim, but I've seen no evidence of it.

"Vladimir Putin identifies as Russian Orthodox Christian, though his sincerity is debated, and he has used the faith for political and nationalist purposes.

He publicly expresses his faith and attends services, but critics suggest his actions are more about political expediency than genuine religious belief, especially given his KGB background and use of the church to legitimize his rule."

"Stalin appeared to have had absolute conviction in his anti-religious war. "I have no doubt that he was a thoroughgoing atheist," says Miner. "

Was Stalin an atheist?

"Yes, Joseph Stalin was a militant atheist who actively suppressed religion throughout the Soviet Union.

He was raised in the Georgian Orthodox Church and even attended a seminary to train as a priest in his youth, but he became disillusioned with religion and embraced Marxist theory, which views religion as the "opiate of the masses".

"Conversion to Marxism: While at the Tiflis Seminary, he began reading revolutionary literature and the works of Karl Marx, leading him to abandon his religious beliefs and become an atheist and a revolutionary."

= their personal beliefs

"Their actions were driven by totalitarian communist ideologies that were explicitly anti-religious, viewing religion as a hindrance to state power and a threat to the total loyalty demanded by the state and the leader's personality cult."

Trump threatens to stop all aide to the Nigerian Gov who is fighting to stop this.

Which is not helpful at all.

"In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Bessent said that the administration would not appeal the court ruling, while adding that finding the funds to pay SNAP benefits by Wednesday "could be" done.

"There's a process that has to be followed. So, we've got to figure out what the process is," the Treasury secretary said.

On Friday, President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that the government was exploring its options to restart SNAP."

We are losing our Democracy all kinds of ways...

"Hegseth bars military officials from discussing drug boat strikes with Congress without prior approval

The Office of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has disseminated a broad list of topics that Defense Department personnel are now required to seek prior approval on before engaging with Congress, which includes any and all "sensitive military operations" and US military strikes on suspected drug boats around Latin America, according to people familiar with the latest guidance."

Republican Rep. Don Bacon said on Saturday the policy amounted to "another amateur move" by the secretary that was resulting in military members being "afraid to communicate" with lawmakers.

"I was a five-time commander & our leadership WANTED us to engage members of Congress," he posted on X. "We wanted to share what our great airmen were doing. We were proud of our service. The new rules have put a large barrier between the military & Congress. Pentagon says the change is very small. But I already see the impact with military members being afraid to communicate. This is another amateur move."

Lewzer also said that history would view any Gov Shutdown as the President's Fault.

Of course, he wasn't in office at the time.
