I am too a God. It says so right by my fake name.
I stand corrected. This is the kind of god I can believe in. The regular kind.
But I will confess that I can create worlds, just not on this forum. In Arkham, Massachusetts, maybe.
I think if you DM RPG's, you're a world creator. It's a small world, after all, but we can do it.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

People violently smashed through the armoured glass in a barricaded door leading into the Speaker's Corridor, the last line of defense for the Congress people beyond. Then Babbit started to force her way through the opening. What was the officer on the other side of the barricade, alone at the time, supposed to do as the first representative of the violent mob on the other side of the door started to squeeze through? Say "Here ma'am let me help you down. Who's next ..."? It was his duty to shoot to protect the members of Congress he was sworn to protect with his life. And he did his duty.
Exactly. Babbitt crossed a deadly line. One that would have been deadly for anyone and must be deadly for anyone attempting what she was attempting. I really can’t see defending her lawless behavior or Rittenhouse’s lawless behavior. One was attacking the seat of government in our republic; the other was playing vigilante and murdering people. These are two clear cut cases of criminal activity that must be checked by our legal system and law enforcement. The fact that so many people out there—roughly a third of the population—sees Babbitt as a martyr and Rittenhouse as a hero is frightening.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”

I think we should cancel and close all law schools and medical schools. We don’t need them anymore. We have google and Twitter. If a third of the population/silo thinks it - they are wrong. If two thirds think it - they are right.

While we are at it - eff courts too. We can just do online surveys. Way cheaper and way more what the people way think.

Hey Kish, do you think we (members of the republic) should kill the people that disagree with you? Or is it enough to just hate them with everything you got? That is a serious question.

I disagree Canpakes, it is serious:

should kill the people that disagree with you?
who needs medical school and courts; Donald Trump will tell us anything we need to know and make the decisions. And we should kill everyone who disagrees with Trump; bring the gallows for them.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

You must not have watched the video. Rittenhouse was clearly under attack and was defending himself.

There are multiple videos from multiple angles and multiple locations. There are muzzle flashes in videos too - not from Rittenhouse.

Any conclusions made, not based on evidence, are purely speculative.

Right. And if I break into someone's house trying to rob them, and the owner attacks me, I can just kill them in self-defense. Let's simply forget about the fact that it was unlawful for me to be there in the first place.

Oh look, Schmo tried to make an analogy but it makes no sense.
