Let’s pretend for a moment. Are you suitable in spite of your strongly held beliefs?
To the believer? Sure, why not?
We also used to hunt with sticks, we know better now
Uh… people still hunt with sticks.
Imagine a timeline where a Muslim President states that his religion is guiding his beliefs…
Ok, now what?
Would you hunt with a stick?
Certainly to any other religion, agnostic, or atheist? Thought that would be obvious.
No, not to “any other religion”.
How should I characterize the beliefs of atheists?
Are all strongly held beliefs the same?
Good question. What do you think?
Rapture believing types should not be let any where near govt.
He apparently can’t, kind of the purpose of this thread. Also thought that was pretty obvious.
Based on what, because he talks about his beliefs?
Who cares. Pompeo should simply keep his fantasies out of policy.
Depends can you put your strongly held belief aside to do your job?
I have never tried to. Why would I?
Would you issue a marriage license to a gay couple if that was your job
WuWei:So you guys don’t want Christians in government. I get that.
That’s not at all what I gleaned from earlier comments. What is concerning is anyone using the eschatology of their particular faith as a guideline for their foreign policy recommendations and decisions.
It’s what I gleaned from them, especially Pam. But she wasn’t the only one.
Did he?
I’m not here to discuss dogma. This is politics.
The pertinent question is, is that also the case for Pompeo while he’s on the job?
Since the 19th century, we have always been just a few years away from the end. They’re wrong every time. Hopefully people won’t believe this garbage in 50 years when I’m an old man.
WuWei:If you believe, then you know you have absolutely zero influence. Your comments strike me as ignorant.
If someone believes their actions have no impact on the world around them I also don’t want them in charge of anything involving me.
Did you do that intentionally?
Influence on the outcome of the Scripture. The rapture if there is one.
Would you hunt with a stick?
If I had to, and I have.
Rapture believing types should not be let any where near govt.
Thank you for your honesty.
Why not?
How do you know you’re right and they are wrong?
Sneaky why dont you state your point instead of being all over the place.
Here ill state mine, religious beliefs should not guide governmental policy.
And I have hunted with my hands; that was not his point.
