Considering their history of using Gab, you can safely assume the former. Their complete misunderstanding of the history of both this country's founding and Christianity really help cement that assumption as accurate, though. It's unfortunate to see that the US education system has regressed so poorly.

This is ad hominem. Ignoring that, I'd like to know exactly what I misunderstand about my country's founding and what I misunderstand about Christianity? If my understanding is inaccurate, I welcome correction.

Using a social media platform specifically built as a harbor for racists, xenophobes, misogynists, homophobes, and fascists is simply a data point supporting an assertion about your beliefs.

> If my understanding is inaccurate, I welcome correction

You're similarly free to redirect that welcoming attitude toward doing your own due diligence about the topics on which you speak publicly. The US was not founded upon Christian morals [0]; further, Christian morals are objectively shit - any religion with a deity that advocates for slavery has no place in civilized society.

Uzi battled Nissan motor company because the company thought they had the right to take the domain from a man who had registered it because it's his surname. Nissan Motors should have been slapped with a massive punitive fine for that, but instead they continued to bleed Mr. Uzi Nissan of his resources by suing him repeatedly. Memo to Nissan Motor Company: it was because of this act of lawfare that I personally renou…

Perhaps in the 90s early 00s. Their CVT is known to be very problematic

I agree with you but honestly if it was another person named Toyota who purchased toyota.com, they would definitely be pursued/sued by Toyota as well. Large Corporations are powerful and will do everything they can to get what they want. It just happens to be Nissan in this case. So I wouldn't treat them any different than the others to be honest.

That is not the right way to look at things. You should not be harassed legally because someone with more resources wants what is rightfully yours. They can offer to buy, you can decline.

That article states plainly that just the Declaration of Independence refers to God four times. I'm confused. The same article earlier asserts that there are no mentions of God in the four founding documents.

If your intent is to ever convince someone who you disagree with I recommend more consistent scholarship that is less hostile and more bent to the truth. I acknowledge that in our fractured time, finding such scholarship is difficult at best.

No. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria.

This is low effort, and misguided. They are specifically not instances of might makes right. Perhaps you have been reading some Kremlin troll factory created and amplified content, that could take root in an already suspicious ground.

Please don’t do a whataboutism. This is about America and the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, not Russia.

He wasn't as innocent as portrayed. The problem was he ran car related ads on his site: https://web.archive.org/web/19991122224115/http://nissan.com... If you look at his site, when it was a computer shop, fine. Then he started running ads (really trying to profit off nissan motor's brand) related to cars. Then he got taken to court. He played off like a victim forever. Did he have a legitimate reason to buy the doma…

What's wrong with running cars ads on his own websites? Unless he misled his visitors into thinking his site is official nissan motors website, I don't see anything wrong with running some ads on it.

You really can't see how a reasonable person could just type in nissan.com, see car ads, and click on them in confusion? Really?

Thank you for both sidestepping the claims related to Gab and then directly misquoting the article!

To clear up the reading comprehension bit, the article states: "Not one time is the word "god" mentioned in our founding document." I don't know where that 'f' snuck in, but that statement is referencing the Constitution.

Further, the First Amendment - particularly the Free Exercise and Establishment clauses - perfectly counters your notion of Christianity being embedded into this nation's founding.

If your intent is to ever convince someone with whom you disagree, I also recommend more consistent scholarship. You're certainly right that it can be difficult, especially when even reading an article causes significant confusion.

This world has no place for fascists, period. Good luck with things.

I need not reply to generalizations and libel about my character.

> Further, the First Amendment - particularly the Free Exercise and Establishment clauses - perfectly counters your notion of Christianity being embedded into this nation's founding.

No, it doesn't. It clearly enunciates an individual's right to choose. The ability to choose is, in itself, a Christian idea. According to the Bible, faith in God is not coerced, rather it is a choice to be freely made by everyone. Christ Himself said He came to help those who need Him, literally "When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.""

> If your intent is to ever convince someone with whom you disagree, I also recommend more consistent scholarship.

You provided the article as some kind of proof. There are glaring problems with that article.

> This world has no place for fascists, period. Good luck with things.

I argue for self-sovereignty in the form of the first and second amendments. First the rights to free speech, practice of religion, association; and second, the right to protect yourself if someone comes for you or your loved ones.

I want you to have your speech, your religion, and your guns. To speak your mind freely, and to be able to protect yourself and the ones you love when the real fascists come for you. I swore an oath to protect the Constitution and the citizens of this country. I will stand by that til I die.

How is that fascism? I'm deeply confused now.

As for misquoting the article:

> The facts of our history are easy enough to verify. Anybody who ignorantly insists that our nation is founded on Christian ideals need only look at the four most important documents from our early history -- the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Federalist Papers and the Constitution -- to disprove that ridiculous religious bias. All four documents unambiguously prove our secular origins.

Emphasis mine.

In the very next section on the Declaration of Independence the article clearly states:

> Only four times is there any reference at all to higher powers -- "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," "Supreme Judge of the world," "their Creator," and "divine Providence" -- and in all four cases the references to a higher power appeal to the idea of inherent human dignity, never implying a role for a god in government.

Now, the Declaration of Independence is not a long document. About 1300 words. For the clarion cry of freedom to appeal the Almighty four times in 1300 words -- over half of which is an enumeration of crimes against human decency -- appears to be (to me at least) to be a lot. A lot more than I would expect an atheistic, godless group of men to do.

All that to say, I didn't misquote the article. Perhaps I paraphrased poorly? My claim that the author is inconsistent stands.

If you're the type to randomly type in nissan.com, you're also the type to know that you want to buy a Nissan.
