Sorry Enco, I remember posting what I posted above, but I thought I was in a different topic when I posted it. This wasn’t meant as a response to your new topic, which is why it seems out of place.

Politics 3 weeks, 1 day agoMore on “last minute” attempts of election tampering, in progress. My link skips about 6-1/4 minutes into the video to save time, getting right to the news kernals. I’d say then that about 6 minutes that follow are worth watching.

It’d be most cool if MAGA recognizes and revolt against how Trump/DOJ/Election Deniers push plans to corrupt election results.

Sunday School 4 weeks agoHave a great week! The first video Bad Faith 2026 is very good. Christian Persecution in America is the intolerable injustice of Christians being subjected to the same rules as everybody else.
Atheism, n. The refusal to surrender one’s sense of humor to an imaginary audience.

I remember Oct 17 1989, as the day a big quake, the “Loma Prieta” hit the SF Bay Area. I saw ripples move through the pavement of a parking lot, about 25 miles north of SF. Yet I’m still not prepared well enough for the next big one.

Politics 4 weeks, 1 day ago“Just old news”, but IMO it’s “just” the newest version of Trump & DOJ’s attempt to meddle with our so-called corrupted election process that Trump, et al, has been claiming to be problem since 2016. The election denier cult hasn’t gone a way in ten years.

Sunday School 1 month agoIf the philosophy is descriptive, then the main question is whether the description is accurate, not whether the describer has personally lived the experience. You cannot fully know what it is like to be another human being either. Even a complete objective description of a bat’s physiology and behavior will likely fail to capture what being that…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 month ago@Simon – I am happy when the abyss stares back. It makes me think “Excellent. Now we’re both observing something interesting.” :-). I do not allow angst to terminate my inquiry. Rather it is a source of intellectual exhilaration. I have no loyalty to yesterday’s conclusions, only to the inquiry that produced them.

Religious freedom protects people’s right to practice religion but not entitle them to restrict other people’s freedoms. There is also a distinction between the religious beliefs of soldiers and presenting a particular religion as part of the military’s institutional identity.
