It's not to me, anymore. Christian folks are quite willing to accept the most horrible ethics if the ethics are to their advantage and come from a Christian authority. Modern American Christians are theists Writ Large. Tom

What are you blaming the dead guy for? Exactly. I'm not seeing it. Tom

It will be interesting to see how many posters criticize you for using the word "genocide". Tom

The difference I have described is that non-theist people don't justify their attitudes and misbehavior with "God says..." I've never suggested that non-theist people are morally or ethically better than theists, although I think that they are (slightly). Only, that theists have a reason for...

How brave of you to say so. Tom

Maybe. If so I don't know about it. People who identified as Christian, but held secular values and ethics, were plentiful. They were also considered false Christians by the Bible Believers, because their morals and ethics could not be supported by Scripture. Tom

What makes you think that a majority of US Christian people cared about slavery and racism? I don't think so. I'm confident that it was the secularists who were opposed to that moral and ethical horror who got rid of it. Sorta. It took a long time to get rid of the Christian morality and...

The question was "Why would Fortson answer the door with a gun?' I can think of a bunch of reasons. Tom

That's kinda what our dog, Abby, does. She just keeps sticking her face and head up between her and your "device" until you get the drift and pay attention to what is important! Tom

I don't believe everyone who says something, especially when it makes no sense. Why would Fortson believe that it was just an innocent mistake by the locals? Therefore he should not arm himself? I can't think of one. I don't have a gun, but if I did I would bring it to that door under those...

He specifically armed himself, with a totally legal weapon, to answer the door under dangerous circumstances. And was shot by the cops. I'm not a supporter of BLM or anything like that. But the bottom line is the cops messed up in a lethal way and Yeah, this is one of those reasons that BLM...

In my immediate Irish family we only had 6 kids. I've got two sets of cousins, 8 each. My aunts would occasionally giggle, "Ann only has 6 kids. What does she do with herself all day?" Yeah, it was a different time and century. But we were immigrants, within living memory, sorta. Tom

Actually, it would be Ireland. The 12.5% I'm referring to is a burly dude who spent years aboard Navy ships saving America from the Japanese. Yeah, y'all can fuck with him now since he's dead. Try doing that in 1958. Tom

What does "take in" mean in that sentence? My family of 8 had exactly 1 "employed/employable" members. 12.5% of our household brought in a paycheck. Tom

Barely Haiti. The first foreign military adventure of the US was to quell the slave uprising in Haiti. Ya know. Uppity niggers trying to take their lives back. Can't have that... Eventually, the Haitian people were forced to buy themselves from the French buddies of our president for about...

Is that a quote from Karl Marx? Sounds like one. Tom

Our dog does that! Tom

If you are lying I will hunt you down

Why would anyone care about what Carrier says about anything? Tom

Karl Marx? Believe it or not, your stupid insults are nothing more than stupid insults to me. But they do tell me a good bit about you. Tom
