How To Live Under An Unqualified President by John Piper

Social Darwinism Is What Truly Guides Trump

His father taught him that the rich are better people. Who in the GOP disagrees?

nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/06/social-darwinism-is-what-truly-guides-trump.html

Who in the democratic party disagrees in practice?

And I’ll keep talking, about how all this political stuff - will lead to the Zombie apocalypse :frowning:

And when all is said and done - in this thread, I predict the zombies will win :laughing:

To paraphrase John Paul Jones:

But …but …Randy - zombies aren’t real. Hate to say it, dude, but it’s a fact.
OTOH, the culture war is real.
Just the way I see it.

How do you know - zombies are not real? There are rumors that evil people in Haiti …(I think they call them witch doctors)…cause spirits to inhabit dead bodies. When in Africa, I have heard rumors - regarding similar stuff.

I’m being serious now, Dave. Black magic is REAL and ALIVE and Well - in the world. Much as I hate, to admit it.

Now I’m off to watch Dawn of the Dead and The Walking Dead - on televisions.

Actually, zombies are some of my best friends. So they are “real” to me.

I honor your illusion.

Look. I also honor universalism. And hope and pray it is true. But some folks here, present some “far out” theologies - how it might happen. So why can’t I entertain, some “far out” political theories?

I think some of the African and Haitian witch doctors, have settled in the western countries. Some have even opened up Voodoo shops, in places like New Orleans. And they are probably all reading, these political left and right wing discussions - on Facebook, here perhaps, etc. So they create some zombies - out of spite. But things get out of control. Perhaps these zombies got a hold, of some illegal drugs, etc. And the witch doctors, are busy creating more zombies. And before you know it, we have the zombie apocalypse. There. I have presented my political theory. And it ties in nicely, with the P-Zombie version of hell (as presented by folks like Anglican, New Testament scholar - N.T. Wright). And the Left Behind (book and movie) series - in theology.

Now that I’ve brought this up - there’s no turning back. It’s my duty, to “enlighten” as many people - as possible :wink:

But China is a communist country and Germany is a socialist country. Both do allow folks to make money. The only “unwritten rule” for China, is NOT to criticize the Chinese government.

So what are you and Dave trying to “sell”? Become a Republican and all your problems will be solved?

Germany is a mixed economy, it has plenty of private enterprise plus a stock market as does China. China has a huge private sector too. Why does it seem to you Dave and i are selling anything? We have opinions as does everybody else here,yet you single us out as trying to sell our opinions or political viewpoints?

Which just says that communistic, capitalistic and socialistic systems - can all allow competition, making money and becoming rich. Without the need, to change the particular system.

You and Dave can present your opinions, Steve. And I can also present my opinion, on what will trigger - the up and coming zombie apocalypse. Which I have presented, in the previous post. And I will be expanding on it - in future posts. :wink:

Perhaps we can have, what I call - a “Tit for Tat dialogue” :question:

Which just says that communistic, capitalistic and socialistic systems - can all allow competition, making money and becoming rich. Without the need, to change the particular system.

You are encouraged by me to present your opinions on Zombies or economic systems or anything else & i don’t care if you or anyone agree with me or not. We all seem to have this need to have our opinions validated by others but i’m aware of this and trying to get past it.
Again a communist system by definition doesn’t allow competition, so China & Germany are mixed systems with the private sectors being the area the creates new stuff. Most communist systems have evolved by necessity to be blended systems of communism and capitalism like Vietnam,China & Russia but there are still relics left like Cuba and North Korea. Venezeula & Bolivia seem to be solidly socialistic.

Sounds good to me, Steve. Folks need to know, what can trigger a zombie apocalypse. And I have just started, to outline my ideas and thoughts. :smiley:

As a public service, to our forum readers. I present this article for reflection.

How To Survive A Real ‘Walking Dead’ Zombie Apocalypse

Let me quote an interesting segment - from the article:

So there are alternative scientific theories, as to how a zombie apocalypse can start. Which might compete, with my voodoo priest theory. But I can tie all this in, with our discussions - regarding our current, political climate forum thread.

And let me share this article today, from the Patheos evangelical newsletter:

What Should Christians Think about Satan, Demons, and Zombies?

Please. This is important! Watch the 15 minute video - by the seminary trained minister. :exclamation:

Let me quote a bit - from the accompanying article

Missiles in america
Deep down in the ground
They’re pointing straight at russia
They’re pointing all around
A small red button gently pressed
Will set those missiles free
And when they land with one big bang
The end of you and me
America leaders - who’ll start the war
Soviet leaders - who’ll start the war
There’s missiles in the u.s.s.r
Pointing straight at you
Aimed at the united states of america
Aimed at britain too
A small red button gently pressed
Will set those missiles free
And when they land with one big bang
No hope for you and me
America leaders - who’ll start the war
Soviet leaders - who’ll start the war
American leaders
Who’ll start the war
Who’ll be a cowboy
What’s the missiles for

So there are alternative scientific theories, as to how a zombie apocalypse can start. Which might compete, with my voodoo priest theory.

Competition is good as it brings out the best in us. From my experience Zombies tend to be Capitalists as they eat up the competition! :unamused:

The only downside to your ZA obsession is that we have a forum with hundred of gifs and pictures of rotting human corpses being cannibals, or slo-mo vids of brains coming out the back of heads. And plenty of blood. Really attractive. I so can’t wait for more. Not.

If you enjoy this sort of thing - I mean, you really enjoy it - that’s fine, maybe it’s becoming the ‘new normal’?

BUT - even if you find my posts offensive - a) you don’t have to read them and b) you can easily forget them.

Zombie posts, which are offensive to me personally, you a) MUST see them and b)it’s very hard to forget them.

So for those reasons, pictures of gore will trump dialogue. That’s America in a nutshell, it seems.
No matter what I"ve written above, which will stick with you longer, what I wrote, or this:?

I’m not into it myself Dave. I use to be but I’ve grown spiritually. I just though Randy would like the videos above.

No doubt!! :laughing:

<waiting for ‘Tat’>

I think the world’s obsession with zombies, it that we haven’t come to grips with death. Zombies seem to live in that twilight, between life and death. Actually, when I try to get service at stores, etc…Some of the staff, are as “lively” as zombies. As far as zombie gory stuff goes, it’s just Hollywood makeup, theatrics and… camera and computer creations…In other words, it’s just “Hollywood make believe” - or is it???

And I don’t think I’ve ever shown zombies having lunch - via GIF images. Unless they were “cartoon” zombies. Which are not even “Hollywood make believe zombies” - right?

Just a comment here, David. Some folks are visual. Some are audio. Some like to read. Pictures, images, videos, etc. - capture our attention. It’s a principle of copywriting and marketing. Don’t you find certain ads you “love” to watch? Like the Geico commercials, for example? I’m using the same principles here - on this forum.

See Geico youtu.be/KzjC2WEF6f0 and youtu.be/7OIEFo2axGE

Yes, Michael. I enjoy the videos you share. :smiley:

Let’s now end - with a famous quote - to reflect upon. :smiley:

This zombie is singing this Fats Domino song: youtu.be/Y29RZpHnkq8 :laughing:
