too many religions out there saying different things..... how is one to know what is right or wrong?

**LongShot** · 04-21-2019, 01:01 PM

We don't. That is why they call it faith.....not "certainty".

It's in the Bible what is the way God wants us to live. A good place to start is the 10 Commandments and avoid the 7 deadly sins because the 7 deadly sins will lead you down a bad path.

I look at living life by God's word like driving on an interstate. On this interstate are many off ramps and on ramps. The longer you travel down a road the off ramp puts you on the farther from God you go. But you can always turn around and get back on the interstate. Do your best to stay on the interstate and the happier you will be.

There is a simple answer to that....follow what YOU
feel is correct....and teach your children the same.
My family has been doing this for generations without formal religion.

Except Trump knows how business works ( like Ross Perot) check out interviews from 20 -30 years ago, he could see where the USA was going, predicted the future perfectly which was easy as he just extrapolated what the current policies would create.
That should mean he knows what it takes to fix the USA.
IBM just shut a plant here in Singapore, its moving back to USA. A big chip plant went last year.

powerabout, the only reason in my mind that those plants are headed back here is because they have made the jump to automation and won't need the labor expense involved with manufacturing. Dollars and cents at the end of the day for these big manufacturers. A onetime, upfront expense to automate and you are on your way with no payrolls, healthcare, and 24/7 robots that don't need breaks. Blue Collar workers are feeling the effects currently, but the new AI improvements have the White Collar bunch starting to pucker now as well.

Religion was man made as a way to control the masses. If any one of them had the concrete proof of its relevance then there could only be one. olboatman has it right.

True. And it's easy to find the wrong one. The wrong one is for throwing gays off buildings, treating their women worse than animals, wanting to kill anyone that is not of their "religion", and are trying to take over.

Other than tax reform, what has he actually achieved?

Would be a waste of my time to list them for you marcus. Get on your bike, take a ride and think real hard about it.

**AZMIDLYF** · 04-23-2019, 11:34 AM

XstreamVking, you are right, it would be a waste of time.

Forkin', you liked my post above, but I think you mistook the sarcasm...it would be a very short list.

By the way, how much wall do you think you could build with the $100 million his golfing has cost us so far?
