Yeah but that happened in the buildup to WWI and to WWII too. You can't just parachute out of things because your pet eschatological theory seems like it's coming true. He's going to come in the clouds, when He does come. And He's going to come like a thief in the night. You just need to...

If we take these oaths seriously, then I feel like we should be heavily investing in a categorical refactoring of our veterans services system. Instead of treating women who can't get an abortion anymore like family and veterans like our red headed step sons, it should be the other way around...

lol. You see the red wave coming. Just embrace it.

I'm not sure what subject in particular you mean. The OP? The Flood? I'm just asking for clarification. OK. I mean, I don't either, for my own personal faith's sake. I understand it's faith, it's a free choice, a binary (yes-no) free choice. But there's no harm making a case that would...

Or instead of throwing away your precious vote, prioritize, pick one or two issues that you reckon have the most ideological leverage, something like abortion or social welfare services, and then vote for the party that supports that issue.

Well that's why we have all those politicians and officials swear sacred oaths to defend the Constitution.

As far as I'm concerned the Declaration of Independence in part expresses a moral theory, in prose. The Constitution expresses that moral theory in law. Yes there is the Constitution.

I'm curious about geology as a discipline, and the biblical Flood. Plate Tectonics Debunked- reopened Is it possible that the continents drifting apart at a four-inches per year pace wrt the Americas and Europe & Africa is evidence of the biblical global Flood? Are the hydroplates still...

I used to be a Calvinist. In truth I still am. I believe in what the Calvinists call 'sovereignty' but what the Catechism calls 'providence'. The Catechism's teaching on providence satisfied me as a Calvinist that Catholicism was as fully Calvinist as I was and still am. What makes the...

Not only that, but you have invoked self-evidence, which is what the American founders invoked in their declaration that we are all endowed with universal and absolute rights. But you don't need an extrapolation if you just accept the individual rights themselves as existing. Taking...

The United States Constitution has no such requirement.

Perhaps it would help to know that in Latin the word for rights and the word for laws is the same word. In English we distinguish 'rights' and 'laws' with their own words, but the ancient Romans did not. So when, in Greek, someone refers to Roman laws, they had to provide context to show that...

I don't think so but, let's see. Of course. Yes again. Recall that I am at geology level zero for starters. I have exposed myself to a lot of stuff since this OP was written. I'd put myself at a level 0.1 or maybe 0.25 by now (a sophomore geology major would be like a level 1.00). Still...

OK I was just trying to help.

As far as I can tell, you're saying "not guilty" is legalese that only technically belongs at the end of a court trial. Further, you're meaning that because there isn't sufficient evidence to indict, therefore there would be no trial, indictment being prerequisite to a court trial. Therefore...

Rights either exist or they don't. That was the point. If rights exist it doesn't matter whether God or man said it. The rights exist either way. If we believe they exist because God " put [them] in [our] inward parts, and [wrote them] in [our] hearts" then OK, but people don't have to...
