Of course, curlew. We probably have the same viewpoint. I just think the whole commie analogy is ridiculous. Best thing we can do is heavily vet people coming in from war-torn nations such as Syria, cross-checking with criminal records and shared intelligence. Asking "Are you a communist"...

I think that quote officially belongs to Steve Sailer. He used to write for National Review but got ex-communicated. You can find his articles here.... http://www.unz.com/

Interesting. I did eventually look it up, and it is easy enough to join a communist party, or THE communist party, from here in the States. You can also convert to Islam here in the States. Nobody is arguing that point. The question is whether "We the People of the United States" still ha...

I haven't looked it up, but I'm pretty sure we don't ban communists from entering the country. I think we have our own tiny communist party here. Immigration forms still ask if you are a member of the communist party (I filled one out for my wife). And it looks like you can be denied if you are acc...

Currently manage fixed income duration to 5.6 years by holding additional cash. Now at the point that I have too much cash, roughly 40% PP is 20/20/20/40. Would like to transition to 4x25, which involves buying stocks, gold and bonds. Struggling with investing additional cash into portfolio with th...

Good, that's exactly what should happen. The question with legalization was never "will people smoke pot". They already do. The question is who gets to enjoy the money made growing and selling the stuff. The two choices are a) Mexican cartels and organized crime in the US, and b) private ...

Just in the past few days the religion of peace has attacked a policeman with a machete, bombed a US marine benefit run, bombed a crowded NY street, and stabbed innocents in a mall in Minnesota while shouting Allah Akbar. The outrage is not with this but rather that Donald Trump said that NYC was b...

Yours seems to be "The Holy Spirit tells man to look within". Mine says the Holy Spirit's purpose is to make Jesus known. Yours seems to say the Holy Spirit tells you to base your interpretation on your own thoughts. Mine says the only place where Jesus is known is in the Scriptures, not ...

My method of interpretation has some similarity to yours and possibly some significant differences. Mine is "Scripture Interprets Scripture" and is the Word of God - thus it is God based and not man based. Yours seems to be "The Holy Spirit tells man to look within". Mine says t...

What does that mean? curlew, It means: 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (ESV) 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient...

What does that mean?

Mountaineer wrote: Transhumanism substitutes faith in technology for faith in God.

I don't know if Transhumanism will ever happen but that sounds like a pretty good substitute to me. The Bible says faith can move a mountain but I've yet to see it happen. I have seen human technology tunnel through them however.

The transhumanists are on a search for an immortality, but that search is futile, as futile as our first parents who searched for life apart from God but found only death. How do you know it is futile? You are only making a theological assertion that has no basis in fact and can't be proven, just l...

Here's Penn & Teller on The Bible. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f3e_1401165670 If you want to really have some Biblical fun go read the story of how Aaron and Moses first went to Pharaoh in Egypt in Exodus 7-8 to tell him to "Let my people go". It started with Aaron throwing Moses' ...

Government bureaucrats usually make for easy villains when you need one in a dramatic "based on a true story" move like this so I was somewhat sympathetic to their complaints about being unfairly portrayed. Upon further reading, I found a report that said Sully stands by the portrayal in t...

I've gotten emails like this before but usually they are from countries like Nigeria. This one came directly for Christine Lagarde <ppot@53.fms.gov.ru> so I'm thinking it might actually be legitimate. What do you think? Should I contact Mr. David Fletchers or not? Recently retired, I have a lot of t...

May the thousands of innocent Americans, firefighters and police who perished that day at the hands of subhuman Islamic terrorists rest in peace. A "Subhuman Islamic terrorist" did not see the firefighters and police or any of the people in those buildings as "innocent Americans"...

The Cost https://bishopandchristian.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/the-cost/ That's much better advice for following Jesus, according to the Word of God, than your previous list of benefits so I congratulate you. By all means, hate your mother, father, brothers, and sisters if they don't follow Jesus. I ...

Perhaps. Or the one looking at the photographs is color blind. Sounds like another one of your nicely veiled unanswerable ad-hominem attacks which you always revert to when challenged. Sorry, but you may need the services of a psychic .... I have no control of how you perceive metaphors. Carry on o...

"I am fully elect." -Mao, to his mistless. I laughed so hard I spit soup all over my keyboard. It seems that discussions about the up and coming election seems to have shifted over to the topic of Mr. Johnson in the election scream room thread. Can we get a contest going for most double e...

In the boonies, men are men ... and so are the women. :) Some days I'm inclined to agree with you. Does anyone else watch the reality survival show "Naked and Afraid"? Something you learn from it is that men are indeed the physically stronger sex and seem to have greater innate hunting sk...

IMHO, writing a book tearing down Mother Teresa and throwing a sexual wordplay in the title is another thing entirely. The guy made a career of being an asshat. I never read the book so I can't comment on the contents of it. You may be right about the "asshat" nature of the title but one ...

Maybe there really is a god. Yesterday I was out riding my bike through the neighborhood and some guy on a riding lawn mower started motioning to me with a strange gesture like he was pulling something down over his head. So I slowed down to see what he was saying and he yelled and said "where'...

I was a Hitchens fan in my atheist years, but could always see that he was more of an entertainer than a serious thinker. He was sort of the Michael Moore of the new atheists; fun to watch if you agree with him, as long as you don't look too deeply at the real story. What are the "new atheists...
