If 99.99999999% of people who all have put more time and energy into studying that subject tell you something. It is kinda ridiculous to assume you are right and everyone else is wrong..
That is the height of ego.

There is no atonement for raping and murdering a child..

The worst thing anyone can do yes, and they need removing from this earth,
I have not spent much time thinking of how they could atone, but of the top
of my head how about donating all their organs then making sure they are found
too late to be saved and their organs will save many?

How about just murder?
"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine;"
Tens of millions of unborn babies are deliberately aborted each year—a number that exceeds the population of many countries.
What the Bible says:

Babies are not aborted .....fetus's are aborted.

Being honest with oneself is a lot harder and takes real courage.
Suppose that early one morning while still in bed, you felt an acute pain in the middle of your chest and had shortness of breath. You might wonder, ‘Could it be a heart attack?’ Just denying the problem would not help. Immediate action would be in order. So you might call for an ambulance in order to get expert medical care. A physician might carefully examine you, perhaps employing an electrocardiogram. Prompt diagnosis and treatment could mean the difference between life and death.
How about our figurative heart? It may not be easy to know its real condition. Why? We read in the Bible: “The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9) So our heart can deceive us, leading us to believe that no real spiritual problem exists, while others may see warning signs and be concerned. Why might we be deceived? Well, our sinful inclinations may work against us, as Satan and this system of things mask our real situation.

What?!?!
1) People are not born equally qualified... that is crazy.. And obviously life experience can make people even more qualified than others.. you don’t let just anyone preform surgery on you.. you get someone qualified..
2) Imho , and many would agree.. this is not my personal invention, but power does not corrupt.. Power reveals..
Great people who gain power stay great people..
Trash people just no longer have to fake it once they take power..
3) when have the meek won anything ever???
That sounds like what TPTB tell the peasants so they will not take up arms against them..
“Don’t worry about me squandering all the wealth and military power, the meek shall inherit the earth (wink, wink)...
4) that is exactly what you said....
It didn’t matter what the rest of christianity believes because you have your own version of Christianity..

Not all of Islam is bad, every religion has its fanatics.

Islam is a radical ideology with the sole goal of taking over the world.There are no 'peaceful' muslims, although there are a lot of pretenders, which is encouraged by Islam.

Yes, that is the sole goal of Islam, a religion with scripture that says that the world is made up of many peoples and religions, and if God had wanted only one people and religion, he'd have made it that way in the first place.
Ignorance certainly can be very dangerous!
"But, honestly/actually, the same can be said for radical-leftists"
"Radical leftists"
I'm honestly curious what you think that means.
Forgive me for exercising incredible bias here, but considering your location, is it
Someone who advocates for universal healthcare?
Someone who thinks that climate change is a real problem that needs to be dealt with?
Someone who thinks taxes on the incredibly rich is a good idea?

Yes... no quote the real stuff that talks about how to infiltrate foreign nations through lies and subterfuge, that infidels are lower than dogs and can be raped and be-headed with impunity, etc ad nauseum.

You got the picture. Someone who loves the nanny state, and hates America and all of the freedoms that come with it.
Translation of Quranic Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 48
To each of you We prescribed a law and a clear path. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one people, but He intended to test you in what He has given you; so race to all that is good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.
