I can’t agree with this more.

Transferring points earned to airlines can also net you some incredible deals on flights as well. I’ve booked several tens of thousands of dollars on business/first class travel over the years at a fraction of the cost. With the addition of free hotel upgrades and car rental upgrades, you can use credit cards to your advantage.

The caveat is that it takes some amount of expendable income to play.

Is it really going out of your way when that’s the topic of this post, theism in politics?

It doesn’t belong. That I agree with. Being against entrepreneurship is a bit of a hot take though.

Please reply to your critics here. I’m curious to hear what your defense is.

He doesn’t hate your god. He just doesn’t give a shit about him. Truthfully, agnostics/atheists are hardly thinking about god ever, if at all.

People are free to believe in what they want to believe in. Religion and spirituality, after all, is just our way of understanding ourselves. The problem is when people choose to impose their religion on others. In politics, this exists in the form of policy-making based on your religious doctrine.

You mentioned morality is based on Christianity but that isn’t true at all. There are some obvious moral truths that have existed time immemorial — don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t cheat. There’s plenty of examples in history to the contrary, but even more to support these shared values across all cultures.

At the end of the day, people really just want to be treated kindly. So, they should give kindness in the way they would like it themselves.

Should this person just tell their mother over a phone conversation and hope that it spreads via word of mouth instead? What’s the alternative here?
