Irrelevant! As I've clearly argued without response.

The person spending it can and to a large degree so can the person accepting the money. People have a sense of what something is worth. That's the reason the saying "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." works. If someone is willing to spend far more for something than it's worth then...

You’re making a distinction between what money is and how people obtain it, but that’s not a meaningful distinction in the context of this discussion. If real money had nothing to do with how it is obtained then stolen money would be just as valid as any other. You are attempting, though...

I mean, could you please just go pick up at least one history book?! As if Lenin, Stalin and Hitler weren't "the left"! They are the very definition of what it means to be on the left! The left has murdered somewhere between 100 - 250 million non-combatant people in just the last 100 years...

That is a clever jab and probably earned a few laughs, but it is a hollow win. Comparing gold to paper money by calling it “shiny rocks” ignores the fact that those shiny rocks are incredibly hard to dig out of the ground. In actual fact, "paper money" isn't the problem at all. It's the fact...

....or want.

“Nothing to do with it? Are you sure?” Money is your time and energy, transformed into something that can be exchanged. It is precisely your time, your hard work, your effort, your productivity that give anything value. Money is your life transformed into something exchangeable. It is life...

Nick Fuentes is a leftist whose tactic is to label himself a "true conservative" and then go around spouting authoritarian and racist nonsense. The effect is to smear actual conservatism by association. Yes, that is self-defeating and yes, Fuentes is that stupid. The truth is that he and his...

Feel free to comment on anything I've said in either of the two threads below... First Principles: Thinking Through the Doctrine of Divine Immutability and the Character of God How Would I Describe the Triune God!

I'll discuss anything anyone wants to bring up so long as its rational and substantive.

Not what's being talked about. If his claim is as benign as that, then I have no real problem. It isn't biblical but it isn't insane either.

Let me understand this claim. Are suggesting that you asked God a question and you got a direct answer from God's lips to your ears? Is that what you are claiming or was this some sort of figure of speech or what? That's 100% a real question. I am not making fun of you or being sarcastic or...

The difference is that I've proven my case. All you've got is repeating your position as though nothing was said against it. In short, you're forced to lie to maintain your doctrine. Some doctrine!

You are part of the problem. Kirk is dead today because wicked lunatics like yourself want to turn everyone you disagree with into a reincarnation of Hitler. You've lost the rational debate and so want to shut down speech and your final argument - yes YOUR final argument whether you admit it or...

You are using the word of God to tell a lie.
