Joe Ferguson forever

That's my point. There is no such thing as literal interpretation. People color the different translations from Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew to suit their needs. Re the reformation, i don't blame Luther for starting a new church in the face of buying indulgences. However, "reformation" has veered far off from His original plan. See "white Christian Nationalists" and Jerry Falwell Jr.. Yup, there were some bad popes. They're men after all (x when acting ex cathedra), but I think it's better to have scholars interpret the bible than some guy who decided he was "reverend".

not aware. will need to check them out. One thing I found in my career tho: People who constantly spout scripture (almost always fundamentalists) are some of the least Christian people in actions. And this "Christian White Nationalism" is just unimaginable to me. Yet there it is....

He's old school for sure. When I took care of some of "the greatest generation" folks who fought in WW2, some were like that...but man did they follow orders and never complained.

where? political sanity? or just sanity?

Or "we interpret literally" and then don't see the conflict between thou shalt not kill and the death penalty or an unjust war...or trump and christianity, for that matter. and then there is that passage about "You are Peter. And on this rock, I will build my church". Amazingly, no mention of Luther or Calvin or Henry the 8th.

well this is fun. sadly, I've got to mow and then pull poke weed from a wildflower bed

there are beta blockers that don't cross the blood brain barrier and rarely cause confusion. Ask your cardiologist. maybe I am what? A R T I C U L A T E. and not in a mechanical sense...

It is small. The idea that he holds up Thurmond as someone to admire is more unsettling...I don't feel Joe is demented. At worst, he has what neurologists call "mild cognitive impairment" but I don't think he meets criteria for that. would need a good neurologist evaluation to determine. Even if he does, as Frank said, I'd rather a cognitively impaired prez with good advisors than a psychopath with evil advisors...

did go over a waterfall at about 19. hit my head on a rock. took finals with 2 black eyes. Even the hockey players in my class felt bad for me. But it was at least 10 years after, that I changed party affiliation. I think my liberal wife may have had some influence. Life is good.

relativity. small lies, medium lies and THE BIG LIE...

cool. don't vote...gotta say. I like this Hemlein guy. Sort of a reality check for the righties. But then he goes and supports desantis...

not all in on Nikki. not convinced of her sincerity. But this is an interesting analysis that tracks with some of my thoughts https://news.yahoo.com/nikki-haley-starting-look-real-000718912.html

Maybe he will if you bothered to listen. But you blather on about political persecution and 2 tiered justice...so he rightfully thinks you r either deaf , dumb or blind or some combination of the 3

Sure dude. you're an independent. The scope of alleged charges isn't close to comparable between the two nor is the quantity and quality of evidence. But just keep telling everyone that you're objective and independent while you are actually a trumper MAGA....Raise your fist high and keep your head in the sand! Beta blockers can cause confusion (and impotence). Is one in your weekly pill organizer? yeah, not sports, PBS, an acclaimed documentary or movie so no...

of course! he was KKK. Biden can't be defended from defending that douche.
