Bullshit. The text is not "holy". If it inspires you, if it brings you to Jesus its like the Holy Car that brought you to the Holy Church. If it does not inspire you its just a text, just another ancient literature, just another book to burn. I read a few religious texts an all inspired me to one degree or the other. But none of them, including the "New Testament" brought me to Jesus. Today I read the New Testament to learn about the teachings of Jesus, and not the other way around, to bring me to Jesus.

Its like your underdog kid lining up for the race, and you do not say "I trust you will redeem yourself". Which means you will put up a fight, you show what you made of, your courage inspire respect. You will say "I have Faith in you", and then you wait and see what your kid achieves, or fail to achieve. You know the outcome of the race will not change your Faith. Jesus did not write this down, he just planted the seed and it grew inside of me.

Because you have Faith, and Faith is not the same as trust. Trust is a currency traded and cashed, while Faith is credit with no redeem value. Unless it is Honored, and valued at the moment of redeem.

Just ask this question to ChatGPT - be amazed. "What religion focuses more on ceremony, dogma, tradition than the actual God or Gods?"

Precisely, I love the positive energy around this whole thing. Trump will never make half the country happy, that's a guarantee.

Untamed nature is very uninviting. I suspect dogs are an exception but even cats are a bitch and it just goes downhill from there. Try to domesticate a roach and you will see what I mean.

The biggest can in existence is the Siberian tiger, and its not made for hugs and kisses.

Wolfs are small, compared to some dogs. What makes them dog-killer is they are in a pack, and they have their leader-related unique strategy to deal with issues. You cannot under-estimate a wolf-pack. They are equipped to deal with solitary predators of all makes and sizes, including bears.

I have a friend who drags me around for all sorts of these things, and she paid money to sit with the pack. Again, the pack had a handler, and told her to behave or the pack gets exited and becomes unpredictable. Wolfs are highly social and hierarchical creatures, so they actually crave interaction. But they are not domesticated, which means they are not going to accept humans as part of their pack. The wild wolfs are loaded with all sorts of bugs and disease-carry creatures, its "mother nature", in all her fucking genocidal glory.

You can do that. I visited this place DECADES ago, and there is more. Those wolfs are tamed but NOT domesticated, so you must accept THEIR rules. https://www.facebook.com/HowlingTimbers/

Actually, I recall accidentally catching a segment of the Bill Cosby show recommending to put an empty soda bottle in the toilet tank to save water. This was so idiotic that it stuck in my memory. If you want literal shit to build up in your pipes, instead of fully flushed - go ahead and do that. Water saving toilet tanks do not function as advertised. Taking a hot shower is also a treat, mental therapy, and one of the absolute greatest blessings of our technological civilization. Don't shortchange yourself.

I'm already setting the valve on my shower to trickle rather than to blast, because I do not like to waste water and energy either. But I am not going to install something with sand, a pump, activated carbon and UV lamp into my shower. Just because it can be done, it does not mean its smart to do. People invent functional stuff all the time, but most have only benefits in a niche. This is one of those.

I don't see the benefit. A pot of water and a wash rag uses even less energy. If that's what you are concerned the most when you are showering.

Here are some facts... Jury selection is in place, to prevent a tainted pool from making fatal mistakes. I am a naturalized, citizen, and I had to go through an interview process and qualify. You will not get your GED without passing civics. Voting is our right and your privilege, people should be LICENSED before they are allowed to vote.

"All life begins at conception". This is today's "Christianity", refusing to pick the fights they can actually win. Instead of keeping an eye on their own damned and corrupt "churches" and the con-artists posing as "spiritual leaders" they go off to the "Holy Land" to fight Abortion. Lucifer knew this part will be easy.

Not quite. Take "Life Begins at Conception" fanatics. In their "reality" evil has no place. Maybe you want to blame the embryo in the womb for being 2 days old and "not fighting hard enough for Christ"? You cannot have it both ways, you either accept that evil is permanent in this reality - or become a deranged fanatic.

God did not take into battle those who deemed themselves ineffective. God did not want them to die uselessly on the battlefield. So not everyone going to "unite" under your flag, be assured of that.

Being a Jew is an immutable property of the individual. You cannot make shit up and except the rest of us to rearrange the universe to fit your delusions. Regardless what you like, regardless of your limited capacity to accept facts - being a Jew is not a crime.

Islam is a far bigger threat you can begin to imagine. Same with communism. Being a Jew or a nigger is immutable - you born into it, you cannot abandon it. Being a Muslim or a Communist is a choice you are making every waking day, and abandoning it takes less than a second. If you are a Muslim or a Communist you are sub-human, you do not deserve to live as a free individual. Make better choices or suffer the consequences.
