Unseen, if is really is you, as the above verse states, can you give us a sign?

Unseen, i am in agreement.

I had a discussion with one of my nephew’s yesterday. He seems to think that given this decision, anything goes.

I told him, not so fast, the court gave the coach the same right to pray that the individual students can exercise, and that only with further cases will the true implication come into focus.

Off the top, I wouldn’t assume that it’s…[Read more]

Gun control freaks are engaging in reductionism by discounting every other factor involved in crime except guns. Things like poverty, family structures, population density, gender, culture, oh, and will.

Who’s engaging in reductionism? Suppose you had all of those social factors but there were no guns. Chicago is often…[Read more]

Easier to deconvert? Fundamentalist Muslim, fundamentalist Christian, Fundamentalist Enco?

Nevertheless, the mere existence of ubiquitous firearms in Israeli society does refute the Progressive saw that the mere presence of guns equals more violence.

It also doesn’t mean anything. You apparently didn’t do any research. Here is how an actual Israeli described the gun situation in…[Read more]

Thoughtless gun freaks look a situation in the rearview mirror and think “only if someone had a gun, arm everyone.” They live in a fantasy world where themselves or a teacher, factory worker, or accountant has a magic ability to immediately identify the correct perpetrator(s) AND magically know their next intention AND exert deadly aimed force AND…[Read more]

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]

If you think China is not going to take over Taiwan if we kill enough Ukrainians to “solve” the Ukraine problem, dream on. Look at the disparity in manpower and supply lines. We’d end up doing there what we are doing in Ukraine: arming the poor Taiwanese and sending them to die on our behalf in a war that ultimately can’t be won.

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]

Here’s another unintended consequence of jumping to Ukraine’s defense,

Europe, to stop its dependence on Russian oil, is firing up coal-fired power plants. I guess we can set saving the planet aside for a while in order to save Ukraine from a world power they can at best just hold at bay.

It’s becoming clear that as long as this war goes on,…[Read more]
