That makes God a rapist who didn’t get consent.

If we take the story at face value, he did get consent.

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

Bernie Sanders hasn’t achieved anything in his entire useless life.

Look up his legislative record

They don’t work with a coalition to pass law,

Yeah, lets look up some stuff.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders#Legislation

In 2005, Rolling Stone called Sanders the “amendment king” for his ability to get more roll call amendments passed than any other congressman during the period since 1995, when Congress was entirely under Republican control. Being an independent allowed him to form coalitions across party lines

Instead they are normalized

Normalised to what? This doesn’t help.

Each point on the graph is divided by the highest point, 100

There we go. So a spike could be 1 person, or millions of people.

Trump: “I stopped the genocide.”

Us: “You made the genocide worse!”

Trump: “Worse? Or better?”

Oh no, I never said that they are only separable by time.

You may not have said it, but you typed it. Lets look at the replay.

And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.

It can’t only be time that transforms the one into the other

I agree with you here.

Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service

Ashli Babbitt isn’t an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:

she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.

The USCP isn’t the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.

Religion, cults and sects are as concepts interconnected.

Oh, for sure. These ideas are related, but to claim that they are only separable by time is disingenuous.

Sweet as, keep on keeping on. I see there is no convincing you.

There is more difference than time. Cults require a charismatic, authoritarian leader, religions do not. One can be religious and autonomous in practice.

Religions can be open source and decentralised, cults cannot.

Nah, you’re right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮
