Ah, so you're saying it was not related to any of the previous posts?

I didn't say that.
I don't really know or care.
I just recognize figures of speech.

I said goodbye to one of my colleagues recently, just as I was leaving work and told him to have a good night. He checked something on his phone and told me that it won't nighttime for another 3 hours.

Excellent example!

Ah, so you're saying it was not related to any of the previous posts? It's hard to tell, because some people get so triggered with everything so quickly.

I get accused of hostility at the drop of a hat! Totally innocuous posts of purely logical arguments that don't begin to touch anything that could remotely be considered personal in any respect are responded to as if I was screaming mad and calling people Nazi and other N words.

Christian websites, in particular, raise this behavior to the level of psychopathic delusion. I was banned from one sight for posting the following essay that wasn't even addressed to any particular person....

ECT - Is God Moral?

Is God moral? Sounds like a simple enough question. I'm always amazed at the squirming it causes! Please click "Yes" or "No" and then explain your answer. Notice there are only two answers. That's on purpose. Resting in Him, Clete ------------------------------------------ The following was...

Christians are some of the most irrational, hate filled people, I've ever interacted with. As soon as you say something they don't already believe, in a manner they can't immediately refute, the long knives come out and any excuse they can find to destroy you will be taken advantage of, including any generalized comment that can be made to seem offensive in any conceivable way.

And it always seems to be the ones who are preaching tolerance and automatic forgiveness.

There's no question that they are the worst ones! It's madness!

The point of your graphic is well taken and survives the following point, however...

There has never been a mature, truly capitalist society. The closest world history has come to it was the first 100 years of America and it was barely out of diapers before the socialists had their hooks deeply embedded.

I actually dislike the term "Capitalism". I prefer "Free Market".

Remember that God said He would harden Pharaohs heart before Moses ever left Midian...
Exodus 4:21 KJV — And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

... therefore anything He said could not have been based on interactions in the past between them. But God must have been "searching Pharaoh's heart" to determine the best way to free the Israelites (400 years were previously mentioned to Abraham).

Sure.

Yes, but God knew about Pharaoh specifically, and had to to know that he wouldn't be one of the few that wouldn't double down.

Sure. But that was still a choice made by Pharaoh.

I'm not entirely sure where you're going with this...?
