Does a more religious society make a better society? Steven Pinker says no: Would you rather live in Afghanistan or Scandinavia? “The more religious the society, the worse the problems are.” Ross Douthat disagrees: You can balance the best of faith and modernity. “What we should wish as Americans... show more

“You know very well that the pope holds, among other things, the title of pontifex — a builder of bridges. “And today we too would like to build a bridge with all of you, with your families, and with the society in which we want to live — a society of justice, where poverty can be eliminated, where the injustice that still exists in our world can be eliminated.” “This is the Church we want to be.”— Pope Leo XIV

Is James Fishback a Christian Nationalist? We are seeing more and more explicitly & unapologetically Christian candidates who are promising to protect & promote the TRUE faith, & govern according to the Law Word of King Jesus. Questions: Will you promote true religion & suppress false religion? Would you forbid the raising of false idols in your state? If our constitution was designed to govern a moral & religious people, & we are becoming less moral & less religious, what does that say about the constitution's ability to govern us? What would you do as governor to promote the Christian faith?

"What draws people to 🇨🇦 is freedom, but freedom also in the context of order... Part of the reason that we are Canada and not part of the United States is because we as a society looked at what was going on the United States... way back after the revolution... [and said] 'okay they are really preoccupied with freedom, and that is good, but they are also kind of subject to mob rule and the excesses that freedom can bring in its train.' [Canadians] wanted to carve out in North America a society that had a better balance between freedom and order." Brian Lee Crowley, MLI's managing director, speaking with the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation. Watch the full event at the link below 👇

Americans have had enough of the bottom 2% of society ruining our lives “I'm gonna be so blunt. Because of the ghetto-ass activities that happened in Newport Beach — we are now going to see next year a more secure minimum confined prison in the area because of these f*cking parasites that should be locked up in a cage — This bottom 2% people of society cause all of our problems. I know you don't want to hear it. I know it might be mean, but they do. And if we just threw them all in jail, put them in mental asylums where they all belong, all of our problems would go away — but tax the rich, the billionaires. No, Elon Musk isn't taking a sh*t outside of a 7-Eleven and stealing sh*t” I agree with every word. Our society and way of life is being ruined by the bottom 2% of society. We don’t have to live like this, these people should not get to destroy our lives and be parasites off the system The bottom 1% are leaching the welfare system causing astronomical taxes, then these same people cause chaos all throughout society

Across America, Christians have come under attack. As Governor, we will fight to ensure religious liberty is protected & we will stand unwaveringly in defense of the right to life. You can’t have a society of mutual respect or law & order if you don’t respect religious liberty.

Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado: This whole idea of people talking about a risk of a civil war — whoever says that — has no idea at all about what Venezuela is. I mean, we are certainly the most cohesive society in the region — I would dare to say perhaps in the world. Venezuelan society has no religious, social, regional, or racial confrontations or tensions in the country.

Truth Unveiled Show: Episode 9 Jesus Christ founded a religious society. A society is a constant moral union of many persons working for a common purpose under a common authority. The mission of Jesus Christ is to give glory to His Father through the salvation of souls. Furthermore, Jesus Christ was born King, but for there to be a King, there must be a kingdom, for there to be a Leader there must be the led. Therefore, our Lord established a religious society. As long as there are men upon earth, the mission of our Lord must continue. For this purpose, therefore, He conferred His own power of Teaching,Ruling and Sanctifying on His Apostles and commanded that all men listen to them and their successors if they must be saved. To ensure the stability, union and unity of this religious society, He founded it on St Peter, whom he called the Rock. This Religious Society established by Christ the Saviour is none other than the Roman Catholic Church. Complete video: #traditionalcatholic #truth #catholicchurch #nigeria

"When you live in a society where the firefighters are the heroes, little kids want to be firefighters. When you live in a society where athletes and movie stars are the heroes, little kids want to be athletes and movie stars. "In Palestinian society, the heroes are those who murder Jews. We can’t let this continue. We can’t let this happen any longer." ~ Donald Trump, March 2016 It doesn't matter what you think of him, you have to admit this is a brilliant speech.

A society named NRI Green Society in Vrindavan had opposed Swami Premanad Ji's Yatra saying such religious activities disturb them. As a result entire Vrindavan started boycotting the society. Now the president of that society apologizes to Swami ji. Salute to the people of Vrindavan 👏🏻

Asmongold drops a brutal take on who is actually causing all of society's problems "Our schools are created to cater to and make the bottom 10% of the population succeed. This person shouldn't even know what electricity is. They should have a rake or a plow or a shovel and just be digging holes all day." "The top 10% of Americans are very intelligent people. The problem is you're not being oppressed by the top 2% of society. You're being oppressed by the bottom 2%." "The bottom 2% of society have caused all of the manifest problems in your lives. That's it."

ELON MUSK: "I think there's good things in all religions that are good principles, that you can sort of read any religious text and say, Okay, this is a good principle. This is going to lead to a better society. In Christianity, have empathy for fellow human beings, is a good one, I think, for good society, just consider the feelings of others and treat other people as you would like to be treated."

people are waking up to this. we as a society have way too many problems to fix to be spending millions and millions of dollars on apps that make society worse. spreading garbage via viral marketing whose purpose is to make people angry or get them hooked on cheap dopamine is immoral and we should stand against it. glad the folks at TBPN are coming out on the right side of this

Swades is the perfect example. It included a religious reference. the entire Ramayana segment but never attempted to stir anger, instead, it aimed to uplift society. This is how religious references should be used, unlike what Dhar did in Dhurandhar 2

If as a society ; we embraced empathy towards others, the dynamics and interactions would be fundamentally different. Remember, the more you judge, the less you love.

From THE GOD DEBATE: Me: Why should you care for the needy? Why should you donate blood? Why should you refrain from murder and robbery? You can't possibly say that the only reason to do it is because God will punish you in an afterlife. If God's back was turned, does that mean it would be okay to kill and rob or let people drown or starve? I can think of plenty of secular reasons to do it. Namely, I would not want to be left to starve or drown or die of lack of blood. I would not want to be the victim of murder or robbery. There's nothing special about me, and therefore what I demand of everyone else, I have to accept for myself. It is clear that we would all be better off in a world where everyone helped each other and refrained from hurting each other compared to a society where everyone was a rapacious psychopath. That's why we should be moral. God has nothing to do with it. Ross Douthat (Ross Douthat): What happens in Dr. Pinker's argument is that as an heir of Jewish and Christian civilization, he imports, as this kind of commonsensical position, metaphysical propositions about the existence of these human rights that no one has ever seen of or heard of. He cannot show me a human right under a microscope. He cannot prove to me in a mathematical theorem why segregation was wrong, why it was wrong to murder people in the gulag or the concentration camp for the sake of a better tomorrow. He asserts that it's necessary for, again, sort of decency and order and so on, and often it is, but there has to be a stronger reason when you find yourself in a position where what the society says is out of joint with what you think are the fundamental truths about the universe.

People who LIVE off benefits as if it's a career goal will always be the weakest link in any society. Food is expensive, sure but it's only expensive in money. All of these people believe we should live in a society where it's all free and we work together, but the problem is that even in that society? They'll still be a drain. Because that's who they are as people.
