If so, who told police to stand down and why? 2) Were police told to stand down and allow the widespread destruction of other American cities by rioters over the past 12+ months? If so, who told police to stand down and why? 3) Would Kyle Rittenhouse have gone to the riot in Kenosha, Wisc. if police had *not* been told to stand down? 4) Why are rioters allowed to break the law with impunity? 5) Is telling police to stand down and permit rioters to destroy the property, businesses and livelihoods of people who have nothing to do with what they’re protesting against de-escalating or escalating violence in America?
coram_deo 19-Nov-21, 16:13	Here are a few more questions that I think are worth considering: 6) If the same number of rioters in Kenosha, Wisc., had wanted to riot in opposition to abortion or Roe vs. Wade or in support of the 2nd Amendment, do you think the police would have been told to stand down? Is the number of rioters the *only* factor used when determining if police should stand down? Or is the rioters’ cause also considered? And if the rioters’ cause is also considered, doesn’t that mean the government is placing some people above the law based on their political beliefs? 7) If the rioters wanted to riot in one of the neighborhoods where atheists on GameKnot live, would the GK atheists want police to stand down? If the police stood down, would the atheists protect their property from vandalism, looting and destruction? How would the atheists protect their homes from rioters? 8) If the atheists on GK owned a business in Kenosha, Wisc., would they want the police to stand down and give rioters unimpeded access to vandalize, burglarize and destroy their business? If the police did stand down, would the atheists consider hiring someone to protect their business? After the riot was over and their business was destroyed, would the atheist demand to know who told police to stand down and why police were told to stand down? Would they consider suing those people? (Assuming those people, as elected officials, did not have immunity from being sued.) 9) When police are told to stand down in a riot, isn’t the government employee(s) who tells them to stand down endorsing anarchy, mob rule and rule by violence? Why would they endorse that? What purpose does it serve?
coram_deo 19-Nov-21, 17:21	One more… 10) Why are they (media personalities and citizens on the political left) calling Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist? What evidence is there that he’s a white supremacist? Or is that just a smear? Maybe there is evidence, but I haven’t seen it. And to the GK atheists: You know full well - as do I - that if everything about the Rittenhouse case were exactly the same *except* Rittenhouse was a liberal and at a riot of anti-abortionists, you’d be celebrating this acquittal. Ask yourselves how legitimate your views and beliefs are when they’re based on politics. Moral relativism is evil.

How is your opinion more valid than a unanimous verdict of 12 people who sat through the entire trail and discussed it with each other? How quickly did you come to your conclusion?
coram_deo 21-Nov-21, 17:33	If Kyle Rittenhouse had been a liberal at a protest of Trump supporters and everything that happened that day was exactly the same, does anyone seriously think the atheists on here wouldn’t be defending Rittenhouse? That’s what happens when you don’t believe in God - politics often becomes your god and everything is subordinate to it, including morality, friendships and family. I remember reading about people ending friendships and refusing to speak to family members who supported former President Trump. It was crazy, and I’ll guarantee most (if not all) those people were atheists or agnostics. Politics was their god and, by golly, if you didn’t agree with them, they wanted nothing to do with you. One atheist on here actually said another poster was “a good man” because he agreed with the atheist “on all the most important things.” Huh?! What?! You have to agree with someone “on all the most important things” to be a good man? I’d love to know what those “most important things” are (and whether the atheist actually lives those most important things or just talks about them.)
coram_deo 22-Nov-21, 11:03	The following post in another club refers to a man who intentionally drove an SUV into a parade in Wisconsin, killing five and wounding 40: <<The cycle of violence continues. Possible payback for letting Rittenhouse off?!>> The author of this post, a hard-left political agitator, is essentially admitting that the left kills and maims innocent people for political purposes. And the author of that post claims Christian evangelicals are terrorists. This guy is getting more deranged and hateful by the day.
coram_deo 22-Nov-21, 11:16	Think about this for a minute… Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people and wounded one by shooting them in self defense (that’s what a jury found.) The driver of the SUV killed five people and wounded 40 who had nothing to do with the Rittenhouse verdict and may even have been appalled by it. Do you think you’ll see a single thread on here started by an atheist that condemns the driver of that SUV? Oh, the atheists spent a lot of time condemning Rittenhouse and arguing that he belonged in prison. Will they do the same for the driver of the SUV? I wouldn’t hold your breath. You know why? I honestly believe some of them condone (or at least don’t disapprove of) the killing of innocent people for political purposes. At least for *their* political purposes. That’s what happens when someone doesn’t believe in God and makes politics their god.
