So you agree democratic policies are better aligned with Christianity?

Doesn’t look like they inquired about whether or not the AI was trained by stealing copyrighted material

AI is the latest stock bubble.

And what does this have to do with the topic under discussion?

That’s like saying “it matters because it matters” -you haven’t given a reason why that’s important. I was comparing results and you’re discussing motivation. Democrats have policies that help the poor. Republicans have policies that help the rich, and hurt the poor. You’ll see that at no point did I discuss motivation. Only that one of those policy sets is aligned with Christian values, and the other is not. As I said elsewhere, Christianity does not have a monopoly on e.g. “help the poor” That’s an attitude you’d find in other religions, and among decent people who have empathy but are not religious. Whether it’s actually derived from Christian teachings is irrelevant to my argument. Whether it’s important to you is also irrelevant to my argument. If you have some other argument to make, go ahead and make it - but make somewhere other than in response to this.

Your proposal is short on details.

I don’t see what that’s necessary. It’s a distinction without a difference, and it’s not like Christianity has a monopoly on this. The bottom line is that Republicans have neither.

Oh, yeah, I guess I’m assuming that it’s not nationalism promoted by guys named Christian, by, y’know, the description of it. I’m tempted to say “Could you be more of an obtuse ass?” but I’m afraid you’d take as a challenge. If you’re not interested in engaging in a good-faith discussion, one option is to just not post.

If religion weren’t an element it wouldn’t be called Christian nationalism. I mean, it’s right there in the name, and quite prominent in the ideology. And yet we’ve seen where Trump-appointed judges have ruled against his screeds. That’s criminal law. As I pointed out already, he’s been stymied quite often in civil matters.

A common expression in atomic physics is “one atom good, two atoms bad”

He’s been handed lots of legal setbacks, just not when he is the defendant. Out of 60 lawsuits filed after the 2020 election alleging fraud, he has thus far won 1 of them. (7 still ongoing) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-election_lawsuits_related_to_the_2020_U.S._presidential_election He doesn’t seem to have the best lawyers working for him.

2026, if it’s obvious the GOP is going to lose either branch of congress because of failed policies There are five lawsuits from 22 states challenging the citizenship EO. It’s already in the hands of the courts. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/federal-judge-to-hear-states-lawsuit-against-trumps-cancellation-of-birthright-citizenship

Federal judges and SCOTUS may end up being complicit, but it will require their help.

We don’t know yet. Hence the confusion and anxiety.

Do you have some hypothesis or philosophy to present, or are you asking about something that already exists? In either case, we’re going to need more than this.

It will take more than that. Like his promise to do away with birthright citizenship. Constitutional protections can’t be wiped away by EOs.

I think interrupts research into cancer treatments, antibiotics, infections and more. It will take time to discern the specifics.

Your mass and that of the spacesuit each would have gravity, owing to the mass of each. Your attraction to the suit would be small compared to the gravity just outside the suit, because inside there would be cancellations. If the suit were spherically symmetric, the cancellation would be complete and the suit would exert no gravitational force on you.

Is it? You need to show that this is the case. America doesn’t have a national religion, unlike around 20 that have Christianity as theirs

I think they did. Even if you dismiss whether they literally believed that lie, it gives cover to treat brown immigrants like they’re sub-human, and I think a fair fraction of MAGA cares about that. Trump is the enabler of being horrible, and some of his followers are positively giddy about having permission to be openly awful to people who aren’t white males.

The strength of the interaction decreases with the square of the distance. Just like how the brightness of light decreases the further you are away from a point source.

Gravity isn’t a substance, so viewing it as being “pushed” out is probably not helpful. Gravity exists; Newton’s law of gravity is pretty straightforward in showing it depends on the mass, and the 1/r^2 behavior and shell theorem are things you can trace back to geometry

About religions and worship, but not, I think, the existence.
