    Oh Look....

    Notice that the economy collapsed under W. Bush, when bank loans of 125% of the value of property defaulted when land prices dropped (forcing foreclosure). Derivatives (land traded like stock on the market) added to the collapse. Outsourced factories and jobs added to the collapse. All along...

    Oh Look....

    I am starting to wonder why illegal immigrants are enticed by certain laws to come to America (free education, covid relief checks, etc). Could it be that some day they will become citizens, and then vote for the party that gave them favors? That is tantamount to bribery. Immigration...

    Torath Mosheh Jews and Paul and the Law

    To even begin to answer your question, I have to make several assumptions, among which are that: 1. God exists 2. All-knowing God knew that non-Jews would convert to Jews (sort of), and call themselves Christians. They didn't have to get a bris, or refrain from pork and shellfish, nor...

    Library Idiocy

    I concur. The list of banned (or attempted to be banned) books is growing. It includes the famous Harry Potter series, banned for depicting witches in a good light. It includes Catcher in the Rye (sexual). Reverend Savonarolla, hundreds of years ago, had a Bonfire of the Vanities, burning...

    Library Idiocy

    Why would a the first word from a new Gay acquaintance be "I'm Gay?" Straights don't do that. Explicitly sexual content (Playboy, Penthouse, and to a lesser extent, National Geographics) should not corrupt minors in a public library, especially without parental consent. Libraries are...

    Library Idiocy

    How would the Religious Right like it if a small community (lets say Alpine County, California) was taken over by Gays (which it was), and they voted to prevent Straights from having sex (no marriage, so no right of inheritance, no custody of kids, etc). What if they kicked them out of their...

    Are babies, "enemies of God" in your faith tradition?

    Babies growing up as sinners (someone posted). Well, that would finally explain my family. I think that there are various opinions about original sin.

    Are babies, "enemies of God" in your faith tradition?

    They usually chop it up and put it in a can before feeding it to a kitten. I try to council kittens on their meat-eating tendancies. I tell them "hey, don't have a cow, man." (catch phrase of Bart Simpson).

    Are babies, "enemies of God" in your faith tradition?

    Abortions aren't substitutes for condoms. On the other hand, Christians feel that it is more important to stop the distribution of condoms in high schools because it condones sex. I think that sex will happen whether or not condoms are there. Sex has been around for quite some time (millions...

    Are babies, "enemies of God" in your faith tradition?

    Babies poop. So, if you hold a baby like a machine gun, it would be an awesome weapon. However, just as a gun isn't violent, neither is a baby. It isn't the fact that a baby exists, it's how you use it. Christianity is a religion of peace, healing, and preserving life. But not how it is...

    Are babies, "enemies of God" in your faith tradition?

    I spoke with a PETA representative who wanted to save kittens. But kittens are carnivores (eat cows). Cows are peaceful herbivores. Doesn't it make more sense to save cows?

    Are babies, "enemies of God" in your faith tradition?

    Mary had the same problem when she'd call baby Jesus (not supposed to say Jesus).

    Negative Belief and Proof

    Buddhism is belief in a wise man, not God. The wisdom is irrefutable, though anything can be debated. So, we don't need to know if Buddha ever existed, we merely need to know the wise things that he said. Even if he never said them, someone did, and they are wise words.

    Negative Belief and Proof

    Perhaps God's greatest lesson is to think of others. Starving, homeless, jobless, stranded without a car. I just gave a stranded Catholic woman a ride home. . became good friends. . . adult daughter (age 60) thought I was stealing her mommy and ordered me to go away. No thanks for rescuing...

    Negative Belief and Proof

    Those who don't know, don't have an obligation to prove. Those who believe that they do know, might be able to prove it. Lacking proof, it seems silly to believe.
