    I was raised Christian and took all the stories at face value and true. I think I was about 7 or so when I watch a movie I think was called The Bible. For some reason, seeing the stuff on video allowed me to see how ridiculous it was. After that, I still went to church, but I was looking at it from the outside.



  • More down votes? Which part is not true? Please explain how new jobs will be created when any new jobs can be replaced by more AI and automation.

    I love markets and creating businesses, and making money. Tell me how we will keep doing it? What is the GOPs plan to keep entrepreneurialism alive?

    Can we assume that democracy is a value that will not be compromised?

    Can we assume that fascism is not an option?

    Right now, we have pretty much an even split in the vote.

    We have an enormous industrial potential. Since the 70s, less and less of the wealth created by that potential is being distributed throughout society. This is not opinion, it is fact. The cause is automation. Imagine that slight incline of a chart taking a sharp upward slant. In terms of wealth distribution, that has already recently happened. Until the 70s, people who made extreme wealth were forced to return most of it to society. That stopped.

    How are people going to vote as this effects them more and more. We already see it happening with GenX and GenZ.

    What is your plan? What is the GOPs plan? LIke Global Warming, which I’m sure you are now noticing is a real thing, you can not just pretend it isn’t real.

    Any real replies? Down votes without comments are just cowardly.


  • We’re looking at different sidebars then. The one I see says, “(NOTE: ANY AND ALL LINKS POINTING TO FAR-RIGHT WEBSITES/CONTENT CREATORS IS BANNED AND CAN/WILL LEAD TO A BAN FROM THE COMMUNITY.)”

    It also says, “RULES: 1: The Goldwater Rule Due to the Rise of Nutjob Incels in the GOP, any and all Content that is Glorifying any kind of White Supremacist along with spreading Lies from these people leads to an Automatic Ban. The Reason for it being called the Goldwater Rule is that he sort of caused this to happen.”

    This is integrity and impressive. I’m not quite sure how the Goldwater Rule applies.

    Actually, the conversation would go like this.

    Kid: Dad, someone on the internet said Jesus dies for our sins.

    Dad: What do you think of that?

    Kid: I’m not sure but it’s weird. How can someone dying have anything to do with the bad things that other people do?

    Dad: It only makes sense if you understand that back then, they used to kill animals as a sacrifice to God. They believed that God will show them more favor, the larger the sacrifice. If you do something God doesn’t like, killing something will make God happy with you again.

    Kid: This is getting more bizarre, and creapy.

    Dad: So, Christians believe that Jesus was sacrificed to forgive all humans for all the bad things they do so God will be happy with them again.

    Kid: O…K… So, we’re all forgiven for everything we do.

    Dad: Not exactly. You have to feel bad about it and ask Jesus to forgive you. If you’re Catholic, you have to go through a priest.

    Kid: David cries when he has to go talk to the his priest.

    Dad: Yeah, that’s a different topic, but that’s what they believe.

    Kid: Why does God want them to kill things?

    Dad: It seems that he changed his mind. Somehow, since killing his “son” was such a big deal, that he’s happy with us without further killing.

    Kid: Is God supposed to be smart?

    Dad: They believe that he knows everything and makes everything happen.

    Kid: Isn’t he suppose to help good people and punish bad people?

    Dad: We’ll get there later, your question was about sacrifice. Have you heard of communion?

    Kid: Isn’t that when they drink juice and eat a cookie.

    Dad: That’s right. The cookie is supposed to be the body of Jesus, and the juice is supposed to be his blood.

    Kid: Seriously?!

    Dad: Yes. It’s symbolic cannibalism. According to the bible, Jesus told them to do it.

    Kid: Like half the kids as school and all of their families do that!

    Dad: Yup. Pretty weird.

    I see what was going for. The goatee area is pronounced and longer. Not what I’d do, but may suit the longer hair or if you are starting a cult. It is a cut that can be fixed however. Either way, if he was doing anything non-standard, he should have discussed it with you.

    Picard is clearly not impressed.
