" it's grounded in dogmatic tradition via scholasticism. People have reasoned out concepts over the ages to share their wisdom into the perpetual future." "...synthesizing that with reason yields practicality, not principle. Practicality is subjective, so all you have there is an arbitrary opinion." "Just remember denying the obvious doesn't heal cognitive dissonance."

There is A LOT to unpack here but your opinions on the definition of freedom as having constraints, corporal punishment being acceptable, and preferential treatment for religion are incredibly misinformed and dangerous. These are the foundations of a theocracy not a fully free democracy. You are twisting yourself to make sure you are on the right side, but every counter argument you made here is subjective on its face. I don't accept the Satanic Temple's tenets or mission as objective and stemming from infallible truth. I accept that with more information those same tenets and mission can be found incorrect and rectified, an option almost entirely unavailable to yourself and the KoC based on the nature of dogma. "Catholic monuments are not culturally biased due to their intrinsically universal nature which is not biased towards a specific form of grace." "Equal representation of religious monuments is not always justified as in the case of mockeries that don't truly represent the spirit of faith as well as in the case of pagans which by their mere display automatically oppress fellow cultures." "They (catholic missionaries) recognize pagan faiths as just another form of culture to be adapted and refined." Do you not see the blatant contradiction in these statements?

I was raised Catholic and know much about KoC, you seem to have just written my submission off as purely a joke, but some investigation would show I am promoting a group that expects character without prerequisite such as being a Christian Male. See below: From the website I posted: TENETS THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason. The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs. People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and remediate any harm that may have been caused. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word. ABOUT US The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and justice, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits guided by the individual will. Politically aware, Civic-minded Satanists and allies in The Satanic Temple have publicly opposed The Westboro Baptist Church, advocated on behalf of children in public school to abolish corporal punishment, applied for equal representation where religious monuments are placed on public property, provided religious exemption and legal protection against laws that unscientifically restrict women's reproductive autonomy, exposed fraudulent harmful pseudo-scientific practitioners and claims in mental health care, and applied to hold clubs along side other religious after school clubs in schools besieged by proselytizing organizations.

I have very mixed feelings about this... until I formulate a proper response I'll offer 5mil to anyone who joins the Satanic Temple and posts proof: https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/join-us

Malal, bby, why have you been holding all this back for so long? You're on the wrong side, they don't deserve your brilliance. Join us. And bring TheNG.

I've no doubt now that he's lost all his infra he can only go positive, that is obvious. I wasn't making that argument, and even if I was how does posting one day's worth of damage discredit what I said? https://politicsandwar.com/index.php?id=132&name=Apeman&type=leader&date=2018-03-25&submit=Go https://politicsandwar.com/index.php?id=132&name=Apeman&type=leader&date=2018-03-26&submit=Go I posted two days showing him going negative. He's lost the whole war. And my 2 days is better than your one day. See how that doesn't make sense? Anyways, math: Assuming he started at 3k infra and didn't sell it off, most of his cities are at 500 infra or below. It costs a little over 50 mil to rebuild, 50,000,000 x 30 is 1.5 bil Also:

I really shouldn't be replying to James but some rudimentary math shows Apeman has taken 1.5bil in purely infrastructure damage. At market rates his military lost around another quarter billion. Add in whatever his looted resources were, and well he comes out even at best.

Sheesh. Tell us how you really feel. Love that you stay in character though, being an alliance named for one of the greatest military failures of all time. Good on you.

First I don't get an invite to your wedding, now no invite to this?! We're fighting.

Agreed. You all staggered/coordinated your attacks and activity beautifully, may we meet again!

Assuming I'm not incompetent, OWR pulled their shit together at the last minute. Damn shame they didn't coordinate earlier else it might've been more of a fight.

Embargoed.

As the resident whale of TJ I would like to claim space race victory.
