If you believe in an omnipotent, omniscient Gawd, reality is like the rules of football: changeable at will. If you believe in an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent Gawd, you're a fool. Gawd cannot be all three and allow evil or suffering in the universe.

Don't need to. In low-organization societies, like the ancient Greeks, the Nordic tribes sometimes inaccurately called "Vikings," northern Europe, and among some Native tribes, slavery was merely the lowest rung on the social ladder (and sometimes not even that). It was not hereditary and it...

Them too. Jefferson said so!

Don't know. Induns in what is now the U.S. were all merciless Indian savages. Not sophisticated enough to have laws, much less legal status of individuals.

Given the general level of agreement on facts these days, every damn thing's a matter of opinion.

Way less sense. It's perfectly feasible that in a warming system, there could be cooling spots. Like lumps in the smashed potatoes.

The best man always wins. It's the groom, poor bastard, who loses.

Iowa's fuckin' weird.

You think he beat Biden, don't you?

Nope. All that could be done with a wave of His Mighty Hand. Or with a divine thought. Gawd seems to enjoy cruelty and misery, given how easily Gawd could stop it.

Yep, like the movie trope "No cop ever solved a case until he'd been suspended and went rogue." Funny how the people who cheer when the cops rough up protesters and FNs get all horrified when they rough up honk-honkers or Ezra Levant. And vice versa.

Kids can learn that Lincoln freed the slaves (he didn't), but not that Washington and Jefferson owned 'em.

Me? I think they created a Gawd in their own image. I prefer the custom of potlatching. You demonstrate your power and value by giving away stuff. Useful stuff. To folks who can use it. By the way, to quote Stephen from Braveheart, "Quit changin' the subject and answer the fockin' question."

None of it makes any sense to me. Why did Gawd demand a death to "save" everybody? Way I understand it, Gawd made the rules, and Gawd can change the rules. So if Gawd wants folk to be saved, why don't he just say "OK, everybody's saved?"

You know when you're healthy, then you get sick, then (hopefully) you get healthy again? You say you "got better." Kinda like that. Jesus was alive, then he was dead, then he was alive again. Assuming "alive" is better than "dead," he got better. Leastways that's what your Really Old Book...

Pranking the satellites, enit? You Saskatchwaners (Saskatchewanites? Saskatchewanoids? Saskatchewhatevers?) are such a bunch of scamps!

Having successfully avoided the films, that meant very little to me.

We're bad boyz, to be sure.

We couldn't do it without you! Thanks, Canada!

We do enjoy stirring shit up. . .
