Even as a small boy, I was tough sell on religion, but the concept of a Devil whose work is to pull us away from Christ is arguably more ludicrous. Of course, I don’t speak for everyone on this point.
That said, pointing to Lucifer as the cause of random things you don’t approve of, in this case veggie burgers, seems absurd beyond words. Again, that’s just me.
Keep in mind that demand creates its own supply. As long as there are people looking for answers to life’s tough questions who accept (and actually pay to hear) the words of Rick Wiles, you can remain assured that he and the other televangelists will remain a vibrant and lucrative part of our society.
Once one understands that science is not a body of truths, but our best method of finding truth, one realizes that there is no reason to “question” it.
For a moment, think of the most rapidly evolving arenas within the totality of the domains of science. Let’s take epidemiology and climate change.
My mother went to her grave believing that Dr. Anthony Fauci should be indicted for crimes associated with the medical advice he gave re: COVID-19. Her sole source of news was Fox News, and, from listening to what they had to say on the subject, she’d tell me, “He’s constantly changing his mind!” as if this were evidence of incompetence, or, more dastardly, corruption. Was he in cahoots with the communists hellbent on destroying American capitalism? If not, he must have been making himself a billionaire by selling his own remedies.
Here, we’re talking about an extremely senior medical professional who had served successfully under five presidents, working on a brand-new pandemic that very little was known about. We’re also talking about a “news” source known for its support of conspiracy theories that support the ultra-right-wing.
In cases like these, science is constantly “changing its mind,” as new studies come in that blow apart older data, and better represent the current understanding of the problem at hand.
The situation is the same with climate science. Newer models associated with the warming of our atmosphere and oceans are constantly replacing those of previous decades. Is that evidence that scientists are corrupt, or that we are always learning more about an extremely complex set of information?
Yes, Trump’s a failure, but he wouldn’t be so roundly reviled by the American people if he weren’t so blatantly dishonest, and if we were following the advice of experts re: international relations, the economy/tariffs, the war in Iran, education, healthcare, etc.
A reader sent me this, noting: Photoshops this for Truth Social. He has nothing better to do.
Another reader: Didn’t bother to change the clouds or the ducks. He is so incredibly dumb.
Yes, he’s dumb, but the real problem is that he’s also incredibly dishonest.
