    Taking a knee

    That's abhorrently disrespectful of people who have fought for you defense and freedom (assuming you live in the US). Because it's not about them. Flags mean far more than what you seem to know.

    I hate prejudice!

    Right.

    Taking a knee

    Therefore, the flag is associated with the military. Thank you for proving my point. They are indeed. Ask the veterans who do feel they are being disrespected. I need to clear this up though, taking a knee during the pledge doesn't have anything to do with troops until it does...? That's...

    Taking a knee

    Giving your life to only be disrespected tends to not go over rather well. Is the military not the arm of the country? The flag is the symbol of the country, so it typically goes without saying the we associate the flag with the military. If we did not, then it would be nonsensical for...

    Who were responsible for the crusades.?

    It kind of boiled down to: do we allow the Muslims to conquer and enslave us or do we take the fight back to them.

    Prejudice is a normal human instinct.

    Taking a knee

    They can protest all they want, but I'd love to see them kneel in front of soldiers who actually fought to allow them their disgraceful 'protesting'.

    No thank you.

    Polytheistic views of Yahweh

    Exactly. Mountains, being naturally tall formations, are mostly like symbols or even a type of portal to the heavens. It's similar to how caves are associated with the underworld.

    Ask an ex-seminarian turned anthropologist of religion

    Through your studies of anthropology, can you see the gods' sense of humour?

    Trump's expression of concern for victims of the Mexico quake

    Does he have to?

    Human Sacrifice

    Gods, I would say. Some are certainly more bloodthirsty than others. It seems that human sacrifice was most common in the southern hemisphere. It must have something to do with that general type of environment.

    Polytheistic views of Yahweh

    As I've come to understand this figure, he is the combination of a mountain god and a war god, with the war god being the Hebrew's tribal god; most similar to Ares/Mars. El Elyon (the mountain god) is much more similar to Zeus/Jupiter.

    Why do I only see this in Islam?

    I'm not sure you know much about the Inquisition, Lyndon.

    Animal sacrifice; when is it okay?

    I hardly see the difference between slaughtering an animal for food than as a sacrifice, except that the sacrifice is treated honorably whereas the slaughtered is not.

    Animal sacrifice; when is it okay?

    As long as the animal isn't made to suffer and is treated honorably as a sacrifice.

    Milo (et alia(?)), Berkeley, and indirect censorship

    Feelings over civilization. Never change, leftists.

    Diffent religions

    Mine is polytheistic, non-dogmatic and non-exclusive.

    Anyone worship Lilith?

    Judaism came from Canaanite and Mesopotamian polytheistic religions.
