I am good with religion. Really it is all the same to me. As long as they don’t try to proselytize me it is ok. Live and let live. That is how the religious folks are, right?
The anti-theist in me says that theism represents wishing not thinking, hoping not reasoning, stories not facts, authority not empiricism. The universal human adoption of…[Read more]

Woops and i neglected to indicate that all of this damage, volatility, risk and uncertainty will result in freedom for Ukraine? Russia will be forever chastened and keep its nose out of Ukraine? And if it fails in spite of support from so many nations other super powers will be discouraged from invading if they don’t get their demands met?
I get…[Read more]

Whooaaa…the unintended consequences.
Ridiculous gas prices and inflation in general will make a republican takeover of congress and the executive quite probable unless the abortion issue takes precedence. Typically it is the pocket book that is paramount.
How many have died already? How many traumatized? How much more unstable is the globe?…[Read more]

I admit to lacking a great deal of knowledge about the war. Haven’t stayed abreast to the degree that you may have.
I was opposed from the first. I reject the notion of humanitarian motivation. Historically the west has little to none until recently in the case of migrants needing succor. There have been so many genocides and humanitarian crises…[Read more]

Belle i get your sentiments but it is not a great idea imo.
It is involuntary servitude. It is unfair to kids whose development will be hindered in a home where they are not wanted. It is unfair to foster parents who do not want kids. It is unfair to adults who are all for women having Roe-like abortion rights.

Yesterday Unseen breaks news to me. This is even more disturbing. Religion is fucking evil.
Stare decisis is great when it suits the political leanings of the justices. Majesty of the law?
What a joke. -

And Reg the holding is specifically handguns.
Reg the Federal Farmer (a distant relation) wants to know if his AR-15 will improve the efficiency of a well-regulated militia and insists that he will carry it down town if they ever try to put their Government Hands on his Medicare. They better stay hidden in plain sight.
Why stop at AR-15s? That…[Read more]

Yeah the originalists..
One of the senators testified a few days ago at the jan 6 committee that the constitution was in his belief divinely inspired. He said it with such reverence. I am sure Jesus and a few of the apostles must have been in their ear.

Unseen i hadn’t read or heard news today. So i found the text of the decision and gave it a one half over with one eye closed.
AS to the first question in re. to carrying i think schools would not be permitted to prohibit entry. As to airport security…same thing. Airports will be permitted status quo to prohibit a weapon. As to private…[Read more]

Reg i haven’t interpreted it as you’ve intended, have i?
Instead you are looking at the pope’s determination of sin as being temporary. Biblically i don’t think there is any support for a pope. That is one of Martin Luther’s bitches. Furthermore definition of sin promulgated by Popes have changed and been contradicted. There have been schisms in…[Read more]

Ask your friend if the obiter dicta of the Cuddly One (AKA Pope Franky) really won’t have any bearing on the rationes decidendi that gets delivered by Jesus, Mary, Joseph & Co on the Day of Judgement and are we to assume each case is res judicata? This question is so much more than an ecumenical matter.
Objection! Compound question.
