I mean fearing death is human instinct and not really something based in logic.

hey’re at the point where it’s abandon some social issues and get reelected so they can champion economic issues, or continue to support social issues and lose their seat to a Republican who won’t do either.

This is only the case if you accept the Republican narrative. You don’t need to engage with Republicans or their narrative; just say “I will do X, Y and Z” and in debates and the like hit them where it hurts. It only seems so effective because Democrats are so ineffectual; for an example where it’s not effective you can look at Bernie.

there was no point in doing experiments to find out more about the world, the answer was already in the Bible. If you couldn’t see it yet, you needed to study the Bible more.

For the umpteenth time in my life: What the shit Christians? Anyway if that’s the standard we’re working with then no, Islam isn’t like that; in fact the Quran explicitly states that all of God’s creation contains signs of His greatness that must to be pondered. Lemme just…

We will show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that this [Quran] is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is a Witness over all things?

Ah, yes, progressive policies like free healthcare, increased minimum wage and wealth taxes don’t matter to the working class.

You do realize that’s straight up not true right? As a Muslim I don’t know how much of a thing biblical scholarship is, but on the Muslim side of things, uh… yeah. Literally no Muslim will say they “know everything”, because the non-scholars vaguely know they don’t know shit and the scholars will tell you “I don’t know shit”.
