The fact that conservatives are uncomfortable with uncertainty and have an emotional motivation to think they know the truth has been verified by neuroscience. Conservatives are more reactive to fear. Thus they need certainty to feel safe. Their truthiness is a form of cowardliness.

LMAO, you denied the existence of that passage you idiot. And i showed you it existed.

It's a black and white case of ownage.

Here it is again: "For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death." Exodus 31:15

In the new testament they explain that there is a 'new covenant' through Jesus and that the 'old covenant' is gone.

All modern Christian religions are pretty selective in their interpretation of this though, and while they no longer observe the Sabbath, they still like to quote Leviticus when they deem it appropriate.

Do you realize this only applies to Jews and those who willingly decided to live in Israel...and it only applies in Israel? The punishment can only be handed out by a religious court, but a religious court cannot be held due to the lack of authorized religious judges due to Semicha being lost.

The more you know...
SO true the more you know.... Problem is semicha never existed with the True God. There for authority was never given to any man or people Just a man lying who had knowledge of history nothing more . A man who ruled in eygypt until driven out for the wrath their god(destoyer) brought upon them. No man has authority on earth . Its coming and when it happens none will speak against it.None will speak period

LOL Phokus!!!!

I am not a fan of Bush. AT ALL. I think he ruined America in the worst possible way. But those two videos from an intellectual standpoint are STUPID to draw direct comparisons to.

Lets take the first video. Obama is admitting to making mistakes every day, but stays true to his goals. What does this mean? Does Obama admit to making policy mistakes or simply which size latte he meant to have in the morning? Maybe he made a mistake in tie color that day for a presentation to produce the effect he wanted. What I'm trying to say is admitting to generalization is easy to do. Obama admits to making mistakes. We all make mistakes of some sort so making that admittance means nothing. If Obama admitted to a very specific mistake he made, the ramifications of that mistake, and all it encompassed THAT would be different than just saying a generalization, "I make mistakes."

The Bush video on the other hand is a reporter putting Bush on the spot. He's trying to nail Bush down to a specific instance of wrong doing and the ramifications of that. This is some thing that no one likes to do. In the case of the President, making admittance of a specific instance as being "wrong" can carry all sorts of effects that may later cause other problems. What if Bush stated his biggest mistake of 911 was thinking Iraq was deserving of US aid after the war? Do you realize how BADLY that could have turned out on many different levels? An admission of something of that magnitude could jeopardize lives.

So this fails the equivilancy logical fallacy argument Phokus and you know it.



On a side note, if you were to ask which I thought was the more honest President based upon what I know between Bush and Obama, I would most certainly state Obama between the two.

Notice how much ease Obama has with admitting he makes mistakes, even every day, of his presidency, just days before the election and how Bush is very uncomfortable admitting he makes mistakes.

One side is the side of adults (Democrats) and the other side is full of children (republicans). This is why Obama needs to be re-elected.

This is also a perfect example of the dunning krueger effect

Bush isn't running moron.

Semicha existed and it is well documented in the Bible.

How about when Obama admitted to this mistake:

Is that specific enough?
