I agree in part. Though, it is the double standards of the apologists for Islam that I am getting at.
There are 1.6 billion Muslims. I think Islam earned a spot next to Christianity. It's the apologists for Jews that is the growing problem. The other two religions are going fine.

The title should read "gods are not"
Better still the title should be what God should not do. God picked on the Jews throughout the Bible. The flood was a failure. Noah's family returned to their evil ways. It took the Romans to put an end to the Jewish nonsense. Over a billion Roman Catholics is proof they succeeded where God failed.

the bible in its totality shows God as creating good and evil.
So God suffers the same weakness as man. The bible tells us God raped Mary with the help of the Holy Spirit.

If you are using the Bible as evidence to show what God is or is not then the Bible should be taken in its totality. Christians are selective in what they quote from the Bible. But that is dishonest and misleading. Without the Bible there is even less to support the Abrahmic religions (Judaism, Christianity or Islam).are you asserting these claims based on the bible? If so, the bible contridicts some of your statements. "I make Good, i create evil." just 1 example.

In order to define God we often use the words Omni (All) potent (powerful) scient (Knowing) present (everywhere) however God has never described himself as All loving. This is something i feel people used to describe God for 3 reasons1: They don't understand that God isn't ALL loving but shows his love to all things except for sin2: They are ignorant of they are talking about3: It purposely listed in order for them to denounce it so that they can further denounce the concept or omni of God.I disagree that God is all loving, IF we are looking for an attribute to describe God in a sense that we can understand, we should use "Holy" Holy means sacred or revered and in the context of God it can be simplifed to "Set apart, Different in a sense of reverence" Its to emphasis that he is NOT like us, that he is completely different from us "Whom will you liken unto me?" God asks this question for man to consider if there is anything we can think of that is similar to God in power, in knowing, in presence and in his Difference concerning us.Consider Omniholy before stating Omnibenevolent.
How about Holy Cow or Holy Shit!!! You can sanctify anything by placing Holy in front of it. Just saying.

The problem of course is that these books have been written. This tends to support the notion that there may be truth to something within their pages.
Because the bible has been committed to text the contradictions, inconsistencies and errors discovered in it have caused many dedicated Christian biblical scholars to turn away from it as the inerrant word of God. The bible does not stand up to scientific scrutiny and archeological discoveries have demolished the bible.
Today, one out of three Americans see the Bible as a book of fables according to the Apologetic Press.

First, do you believe it reasonable to believe Jesus wrote about in the NT was a historical person?
Christianity has reduced its core beliefs to worshipping a dead Jewish corpse named Jesus who died for their sins 2000 years ago. The creation and evolution theories are immaterial to Christians because the path to salvation is not how we got here but who can get us out of the mess we are in. So while scientists argue, the dead Jewish corpse remains the only viable solution.

The reason you don't hear about Christianophobia is because most people view Christians as victims of their beliefs. But people are afraid of Islam and the word Islamophobia is commonly used because Muslims make others victims of their beliefs. Subtle difference.Not sure that is totally true because it has been made clear to me many times by some " too polite members" here that they believe me to be an "islamophobe" when I criticize and question Islam. No, these few " too polite members" haven't held back at all on that score and made their feeling extremely clear.Keeping in mind that I don't hate or fear Christianity in the slightest and I haven't been given the slightest no reason to; It would be nice if you,Harikrish, or anyone else could define for me "christianophobia" or what it actually means for one to be "Christianophobic"?As I have often really gone to town on Christianity, by highlighting its contradictions, half stories, ambiguous verses, enigmatic statements and downright lies and have often called the OT god a megalomaniac schizophrenic war god and tyrant, but these so called " too polite members" have never labeled me a hate preaching, fear spreading"Christianophobe", where as it doesn't take much for same " too polite members" to get on their pompous, self righteous apologetic high horses at the first criticism of Islam . One member has gone so far as to call me his "enemy" and that I am not much different to "a jihadist".Here to help you is the definition of the word - Phobia.phobia/ˈfəʊbɪə/nounan extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.I will add that the far left liberal apologist are working on changing the centuries old English definition by defining Islam as a race. Thereby making the criticism of a religion/ideology a racist hate crime.The proposed definition reads as:“Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”"expressions of Muslimness"?? Nope , me neither.

contiinued from previous post.
Scriptural verses of a genocidal God.
Genesis 6:7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created--and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground--for I regret that I have made them.
Isaiah 24:1 Lord is going to completely destroy everything on earth.
2 Peter 3:10 The day of the Lord will come as a robber comes. The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The sun and moon and stars will burn up. The earth and all that is in it will be burned up.
1. God drowns the whole earth.
In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.
2. God kills half a million people.
In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.
3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn.
In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.
4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
5. Genocide after genocide after genocide.
In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing "men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys." In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites " men, women, children, infants, and their cattle " for something the Amalekites" ancestors had done 400 years earlier.
6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)
7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.
In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: "Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor." About 3,000 people died.
8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God"s rocks.
In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.
9. God burns two cities to death.
In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot"s wife for looking back at her burning home.
10. God has 42 children mauled by bears.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears "maul" the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means "to tear apart.")
11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at roll call.
In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.
12. 3,000 crushed to death.
In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.
13. A concubine raped and dismembered.
In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands to rape a godly master"s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-rape her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.
14. Child sacrifice.
In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God"s favor in killing the Ammonites.
15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet.
In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.
16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods.
In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.
17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point.
In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.
18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brother"s widow.
In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother"s widow.
19. God threatens forced cannibalism.
In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them eat their own children.
20. The coming slaughter.
According to Revelation 9:7-19, God"s got more evil coming. God will make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the earth"s population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.

What the hell are you posting about? I'm not arguing from only the Bible goof, I'm making claims about what is more accurate about God and spirituality. As well I have no concerns about the inaccuracies of the Bible because I don't argue for its perfection. The Bible is not always right, it contains errors as well as it's denominations and I have pointed out a few. So what exactly is your point here, you could have addressed anything in the OP specifically if you disagreed with it but instead you went on a posting Bible scripture rampage for no reason. I evaluate all religious sources and learn/observe what is correct and what is junk.
You posted everything that God was not.
You said:" The Creator is not as stupid as people make God out to be
Faith is an action that produces results, not empty beliefs with no reason to believe in them. It is a spiritual element based on trust and confidence so that the individual may develop substance and effective power to overcome obstacles
Spirituality is objective not subjective
God cares for the individual soul, not specific groups of people and special clubs
God does not preordain some people in heaven and some in hell
Hell is not an eternal torture pit, it's a temporal prison for crimes committed against creation
God does not create evil, evil is produced through individual motives it is not a thing rather a course of action
God does not hide from people, rather spirituality is a process and God wants the soul to learn from that process and part of that cultivation involves a much deeper objective than for God just to appear to people. In other words there is a reason God wants you to dig deeper
God does not form the individualized soul with preexisting content and conditions, content and conditions are developed through many factors which involves the soul and its desires and perceptions. God creates the soul with a creative imagination, but not with a predisposition
God does not control everything or predestinate the souls choices. God grants the soul the ability to become a co-creator in creation without intruding on its abilities, attributes and decisions
Spirituality does not cause or make people do evil and stupid things, the person was already evil, unintelligent and stupid, beliefs are irrelevant to that
Theism is not without evidence, does not lack evidence rather spirituality is SIMPLY of a different nature than that which we observe in the physical aspect of our experience and quite frankly is chock full of evidence that correlates with that specific nature
God is not limited to one religion, one belief, one universe or one or two places of an afterlife. Rather religion is limited, the universe is limited and our personal experiences are limited. God is eternal and unimaginably creative and unlimited
God is not rigid, mean or one-dimensional. God expresses itself through creation in so many ways and is extremely dynamic
God is not limited to our personal perceptions and so be careful how you label and judge God
God is not stupid and if the average person knew what exists within the God-worlds they would be shocked on so many levels
God has a specific, personal journey for each soul and no one is left behind, you are all a part of the very heart of the Creator"
I gave you a list from the Bible of what God is:
God lies and sends prophets or lying spirits to deceive.
1 Kings 22:23
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
2 Chronicles 18:22
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.
Jeremiah 4:10
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
Jeremiah 20:7
O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
Ezekiel 14:9
And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
2 Thessalonians 2:11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

I haven't seen this one here, and this place could use a couple of new topics. Unfortunately it seems like there are less theists here than atheists, so I'm not sure about the traffic this place will get. Here we go:Let's say we take for granted that the universe is here as it is not because of any natural reaction or coincidence, but instead that it was created by a thinking agent. There is no real rational reason for granting this, at least none I've ever seen argued convincingly here or elsewhere, but let's skip that part, I'm saying, as an olive branch to the believer. It doesn't matter, then, if you subscribe to a big bang cosmology BUT it was started by a thinking agent, or if you think the world was created 10000 years ago. What I'm curious about is how does one justify going from "creator" to any god with a capital G. How, essentially, can you convince someone else that your version of the creator is correct, and by extension your religion is the right one, and theirs is INcorrect, and therefore the wrong one?
Christianity has reduced its core beliefs to worshipping a dead Jewish corpse named Jesus who died for their sins 2000 years ago. The creation and evolution theories are immaterial to Christians because the path to salvation is not how we got here but who can get us out of the mess we are in. So while scientists argue, the dead Jewish corpse remains the only viable solution.

Your anger and spite makes me glad I am no atheist. After all, if you are correct and I am wrong, I would prefer to live in la la land than reflect anything that you are.It makes no sense to be so angry and full of vitriol if you are correct. You should be full of joy, humour, laughter, etc. And from that joy, peace, love etc, you should demonstrate that life as you understand it is so good that no one would seriously want to resist it.Yet, whenever I read your posts, I just think crazy old angry man who must have been hurt and abused by someone in the church. I would almost feel sorry for you because of your pain - but your anger and shouting just turn me off.Of course Jesus reminds me that he loved me when I was his enemy - and he did not turn away from me. In fact he died in my place for my sins. Now although I am not prepared to die in your place for your sins - I know someone who has and who is willing to forgive you. and to give you the peace that you are so longing for.
Jesus was crucified, not sacrificed. No one died for your sins.
Leave the dead Jew alone. Jesus couldn't even carry his own cross and needed help.

You know what the Muslims were doing during the Holocaust. They were following Islam a religion of peace.
Islam is a religion of peace.
The average Muslim prays 5 times a day. Is married to 4 wives. Has to maintain a full beard. Wears a full length shirt that is difficult to run in.and as it was discovered most are armed with a box cutter that can only dispose on infidel at a time. It's these limitations put on Muslims that make Islam a religion of peace.

If you don't know what you are, you are not going to get any help from our members because they are too polite to tell you.There are many here who are quick to label anyone criticizing Islam, the quran and muslims as islamophobic and racists bigots. But I have yet to be labeled an Christianophobic racist bigot with an irrational and uncontrollable fear or dread (which is the correct definition of a phobic person) when I criticise Christianity / Christians for believing much of the superstitious nonsense that they have been taught. And no mention of me spreading fear and \hatred.Or when I have criticised The New Testament for its half truths, false stories, its enigmatic and ambiguous verses and for calling it extremely flawed.I haven't been called a Christianophobia racist bigot when I have criticised the Old Testament when calling it a war book where mankind is controlled by a warmongering psychotic and schizophrenic jealous god and his human cohorts and also for its superstitious nonsense. Or have I been accused of spreading hatred and fear although I have been accused of some kind of being on some kind of "radicalisation" mission.

I can with the highest degree of confidence say Hinduism is the only true religion which satisfies both the intellectual and spiritual needs of human societies. It has withstood the test of time and taught us passive resistance and dialogue can change the course of history without resorting to violence or reaching out for the sword. It has given us leaders like Mahatma Ghandi who liberated a nation without firing a single shot and Martin Luther King who took a shot but won the civil rights for African Americans. Both pursued passive and peaceful resistance, an approach that is the hallmark of Hinduism.
Christianity is a stolen religion from the Jews and remains fractured at the core with over 30,000 different denomintions of Christians. Was Jesus God or a deluded Jewish carpenter's son, was he an incarnate of arch angel Michael or simply an unemployed homeless wino who made wine from water to feed his addiction and convinced others to drink it too? Jesus proved that being filled with the spirited beverage can sometimes reveal what is often hidden in the subconscious. It brought out the liar in Peter and something more sinister in Judas who betrayed the wine maker by drawing attention to his messianic aspirations. The spirit that filled Jesus affected him differently. It turned into a death wish.
Islam is another world religion. It started with an illiterate Arab who claimed God singled him out to reveal his vision of the world. Unable to write the illiterate Arab recited to scribes what he heard which he had committed to memory. This formed the basis of the oral tradition followed by Muslims. It inspired generations of illiterates to follow the prophets example and listen to his revelations. There are 800 million illiterate Muslims out of 1.4 billion whose convictions are stronger than their understanding of their scriptures that they cannot and have not read. But that is equally matched by Christians whose faith substitute their own ignorance of their scriptures.
Hinduism is a religion that focuses on spirituality and personal development and is not dependent on a benevolent creator. The checks and balances are built into ones Karma (self accountability) and not dictated by some external force or being. The goal is enlightenment and the highest achievement is spiritual bliss which is the transcendental conquering of physical and material desires that are only distraction or insatiable illusions. One achieves Nirvana if successful and breaks away from the cycle of rebirths (Samsara). Or the process known as reincarnations is repeated according to ones Karma at each cycle
There is anecdotal evidence for this process of reincarnations from recollections of past lives experienced by many people. The scientific evidence is found in prodigies. People exhibiting incredible talents and abilities at very young ages that is only possible if they accumulated their skills in past lives and their current genius was the cumulative result.
Other scientific studies have measured the effects of spiritual activity in controlled groups such as Buddhist monks and Nuns and found not only how spirituality affects their brain activity with predictable patterns, but also how it affects the objects such as cancer patients. When these spiritualists concentrate on the wellbeing of the patients, studies have found a dramatic improvement in a high percentage of the controlled group.
I am a Vedantist and therefore a spiritualist. I have participated in scientific studies and have demonstrated many of the states such an unusual brain activity, control heartbeat and a enhanced sense of empathy. I can from a group of pictures empathize with the ones I identified as physically sick from some ailment, disturbed, low energy, poor aura, depressed, maleficent or mentally ill.
The only reason these studied cannot be applied in practice is because of the draconian malpractice laws that are instituted by very powerful groups who have a vested interest in keeping research from interfering with their bottom line.

In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.
3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn.
In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.
4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
5. Genocide after genocide after genocide.
In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing "men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys." In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites " men, women, children, infants, and their cattle " for something the Amalekites" ancestors had done 400 years earlier.
6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)
7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.
In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: "Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor." About 3,000 people died.
8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God"s rocks.
In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.
9. God burns two cities to death.
In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot"s wife for looking back at her burning home.
10. God has 42 children mauled by bears.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears "maul" the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means "to tear apart.")
11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at roll call.
In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.
12. 3,000 crushed to death.
In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.
13. A concubine raped and dismembered.
In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands to rape a godly master"s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-rape her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.

Islam is a religion of peace.
The average Muslim prays 5 times a day. Is married to 4 wives. Has to maintain a full beard. Wears a full length shirt that is difficult to run in. And as it was discovered most are armed with a small box cutter that can only disposed one infidel at a time. It's these limitations put on Muslims that make Islam a religion of peace.

Interestingly, there have been modern-day attempts in Christianity to make God gender neutral. For instance, in the early 1980's the National Council of Churches released a new translation of the Bible that eliminated references to God as solely male. As an example, John 3:16 was changed to read ''For God so loved the world that God gave God's only Child, that whoever believes in that Child should not perish, but have eternal life.''Is God male? If not, why should our translation of God's Word us the masculine pronoun?
The God of the Bible is certainly male. According to Luke 1. The Holy Spirit came on Mary and God had shadow sex ( as in shadow boxing) with Mary and that is how she got pregnant. Remember it takes male and female DNA to produce a child.
Luke 1:34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[b] the Son of God.”

Yes, I think China will be the next world superpower. India, a country in the same region, with a similar population, is a good measuring stick.India seems to be the retarded twin of China. In almost all measures, China excels where India fails miserably. In health and sanitation, crime and safety, innovation and technology India lags behind China. The graph to superpower-hood is not hard to plot.But the most telling is in the attitudes of the two peoples. One could not imagine the leader of China publicly saying that the Chinese were ashamed of being born Chinese, but the Indian Prime Minister admitted that Indians are ashamed of being born Indian.That attitude alone explains why China is on the verge of becoming a world superpower and India still has almost half a million people defecating in the streets every day.

Reply. GreyparrotIt absolutely did...This is the actual copy and paste text from the source link imbedded in your link. Although I added the "trump" and "tps" in parentheses for clarification and context.Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin was explaining to him (Trump) a proposal to end the visa lottery in exchange for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for countries such as El Salvador. Durbin was going through a list of TPS countries that would be covered. When he got to Haiti, Trump asked why the US wants more people from Haiti and African countries.You are refuting the actual source of the WAPO story....now why would you do such a thing?
The link I provided does not even mention TPS or Senator Durbin.

Ethang5:It's even worse than that. There is no audio or video of Trump saying so, some witnesses there saying they did not hear Trump say so, is a hearsay account brought a full day later by a never Trumper, and which Trump himself denies saying!So a no corroboration, hearsay story denied by the supposed speaker has morphed into All "African countries"Fake news indeed.Greyparrot: "It's kind of funny because at the time, I didn't even bother to do any research on the news story when it broke because my first reaction was "Thank god Trump is not afraid to draw a distinctive line between countries with screwed up, dysfunctional governments and the United States."I really didn't know much about the actual policy change because the media talked more about racism than the actual TPS policy change Trump proposed. There are so many hidden policy gems Trump has done to put America first that you would never discover following mainstream media.Looks like I will have to wait for the real story to come out after the fake news dies."

That's a straight up falsehood. Even your own sources you posted say Trump said his shithole comment while interrupting Durbin's (D) explanation for the then current TPS policy. You are spinning a narrative out of thin air refuting the very sources you cited.
My link did not even mention Senator Durbin.

Here is a real life example linate. Tell me if you consider Trump's behavior here to be racist or not.Trump Slammed as 'Racist' for 'Mocking' Indian Call Center WorkerDonald Trump brought up the issue of outsourcing American jobs in an improvisation on the campaign trail yesterday that some people are calling racist.Trump addressed the fact that many call centers now operate out of India, and said he wanted to see how it worked for himself.“You ever call up on your credit card? You want to find out about your credit card. Guess what? You’re talking to a person from India! You say, ‘How the hell does that work,’” the GOP candidate said at a rally in Harrington, Delaware.“So I called up, under the guise I’m checking on my card. I say, ‘Where are you from?’ They say, ‘We are from India.’ (imitating the indian accent) Oh, great. That’s wonderful. Thank you very much,” he added, signaling as if hanging up a phone.As always, critics have been quick to respond.Some slammed the Republican front-runner for “mocking” Indians, while others said they could barely tell he was putting on an accent, Fox and Friends Weekend reported.Was Trump being racist?
Trump seen imitating an American reporter. Even worse than imitating Indian callers accent.

Considering Trump was specifically referring to the countries on Senator Durbin's(D) TPS list as shithole countries."
It was after discussing TPS the senators moved on to discuss US immigration from African countries, that is when Trump called people from African nations shitholes.

You posted:"I agree. Non of those things were racist.
The reason I don't think Trump is racist is because he has not done anything racist.
i do not engage racist trolls."
So why are you defending Trump who is obviously a racist?

Which African countries? all your sources just say "some African countries."Which African countries are okay? Egypt? South Africa?Equatorial Guinea, Seychelles, and Mauritius?Which ones are shitholes? Which ones are just so-so?None of your sources claim Trump thinks all special treatment policies toward all of Africa should be rescinded.Could it possibly be Trump would rather give preferential treatment to countries that have a strong GDP and have cultures embracing free markets and liberty over totalitarian socialism, regardless of the skin tone?
Trump shithole comments.
The link quotes Trump as calling all African nations shithole countries, including Haiti and El Salvador.
Inside the mind of Trump.
The map in Trumps mind includes the entire African continent as shitholes. No ambiguity here!!

For Democracy to succeed it needs an educated electorate. The people vote for issues that matter to them. The failings in Democracy is underestimating the stupidity of people in large groups. Americans are a good example. They are voting against their best interests.

Are you in denial? You posted Trump has not done anything racist. Calling all African countries shithole countries was seen as very racist by several African leaders.
You said you are from Ghana, Africa. Do Ghanians not see themselves as Africans?

i don't think China is aspiring to become the World's superpower or to police the World as America has tried to do for the last several decades. China just wants to be very rich and its people very prosperous. With that comes the technology, military and recognition.
America spends more money on its military that all the countries combined. Yet the American people are insecure and divided and the wealth gap is widening between the rich 10% and the rest of the struggling population.
