I don't care if religion dies off. I just wish it was more liberal and reasonable and the separation of church and state as mentioned in our constitution was honored. I'm familiar with Campbell's Power of Myth. He knew what he was talking about and he criticized the more extreme versions of...

Actually, it was legal in some states to marry your cousin or at least 2nd cousins until 2014. So, even in more contemporary times sex or marriage to a cousin wasn't considered incestuous in all places.. Who was talking about cousins? I was talking about daughters having sex with their father.

None of the story makes one bit of sense. There is no way that the entire earth could be covered with water from 40 days of rain. There is no way that every animal could fit into one boat, fed, and cleaned up afterwards. The Bible is a book of mythology, just like all other holy books. Even the...

Oh you are right about one thing. I might have been confusing Noah with Lot. Lot had sex with his daughters, but there are verses that mention Noah being drunk and naked, and his sons covering him up. There is so much incest in the Bible, it's hard to keep it all straight. Btw, how did people...

No, there aren't always way to alleviate pain and suffering. I know because I cared for and advocated for them for many years prior to retirement. Euthanasia isn't legal in my state but the 97 year old man, who I visited many times while working part time in home health is an example. Whenever I...

Let's see what an actual economist says about the Biden economy, not that any president has all that much control over the economy. Shared article, not behind a pay wall, if anyone is actually interested in bothering to read it. The president doesn't control the Fed but the Fed has been doing a...

Another thing about this fairy tale that I don't understand is the idea that Noah was the only righteous man in the world, so only he was permitted to survive a flood that wiped out the entire world and all other humans. Afterwards, his daughters got him drunk and had sex with him, so they could...

In the states in the US that have made assisted suicide legal, Grandma would have to be in her right mind and have at least one or in some cases more than one physician certify that she has no more than 6 months to live. I think it would be difficult to abuse these regulations, and I've had so...

I am frankly amazed that some of you have made up such insanely absurd explanations for how the animals were rounded up and cared for in the so called great flood. I was told as a child that every animal species was included. Does your version of the Bible say only some animals were included...

When I left Christianity behind, I was told by one of my young Christian friends not to think so much about it. That is the secret to maintaining a literal belief in the Bible. Don't think too much about it, or just make up a bunch of shit that sounds good to you. Here's the thing that always...

I'm curious exactly which protests accomplished so much. Our protests didn't end the Viet Nam War. It ended many years after the protests, when almost everyone was against it. WE may have helped lower the voting age to 18, but in retrospect, I'm not sure that was a good thing, considering that...

I know or assume that some of these protests are peaceful. I assume that some aren't taking over buildings or yelling hateful remarks and/or threats at others, but I found an example of one of the worst and I want to share the rest of my free articles fro April, even if nobody bothers to read...

I watched a documentary on CNN last night about the rise of White Christian Nationalism. MTG was standing in front of a large group of crazies yelling that there was no such thing as the Separation of Church and State. I guess that's no surprise, but these dumbass people are a bit scary...

There was a lot of discussion about this dog this morning on "Morning Joe". The conclusion was that she bragged about what she mentioned it in her book because the MAGA cult likes cruelty. I think they may have hit the nail on the head. Trump has never had a pet and don't seem to like dogs or...

Sorry, I didn't have time to come back here yesterday and while it's rare for me to applaud a conservative who also identifies as a serious Christian, I think DAVID FRENCH did an excellent job of explaining the problems on both sides with the protests. Please read as much of the link as you can...

I agree that t he police officer you are referring to over reacted when he slammed the head of the woman down. I saw it on the news. That has absolutely nothing to do with the content of my post. I was referring to those who tried to stop people from entering the annual White House...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2024/04/28/jewish-students-campus-protests-israel-gaza/ Read the entire article. I think there is an additional link at the bottom of the quotation.

I think some of the protesters don't really understand exactly what they are protesting, based on my reading of many articles regarding these protests. Some are very peaceful, while others are not. I protested the Viet Nam War, which we were directly involved in, leading to the death of about...

The dog was a puppy, who could have probably found a better home. One that didn't care if she wasn't a great hunter, just a dog who needed love and good care. Wahat a disgusting person she is.

Why did it take so long to do what Georgia did quite awhile ago? Too bad, the idiots in Georgia are still making it difficult of Willis to do her job. Sad.
