A history lesson from a much revered source

Can we at least get a link to your poli board slap match? I don't feel like sifting through that cesspool to find it.

nice deep thought, Rex

How is your dog doing? Do you put him on acepromazine like I said?

That little bastard almost bit my finger off this morning. And because I'm on Clopidigrel I bleed almost like a hemophiliac.

It wasn't his fault, though.... I was feeding him by hand because Maggie was trying to steal his food... and he misjudged and took my finger with it.

I am in pain.

Now that's some fascinating stuff right there.

You do understand, regardless of your cold, rational analysis of it that the Founders were, generally, deeply spiritual people and they had a strong faith in G-d. Now, it was not a religiously dogmatic adherence to ritual and tradition, like on the Continent, or, more or less a public duty like in Britain, but rather something new - a "democratic" approach to faith that is best represented today by your run-of-the-mill Protestant church or, even "Pedestrians" like myself - with no particular church "building" or denomination.

And those engineers that built the bomb, and the massive undertaking that got us to the Moon - almost all of those folks were people of faith. Don't believe me? Read up on Borman, Lovell and Aldrin - and how the public outcry from Apollo 8's "Good Earth" Christmas greeting caused subsequent missions to suppress or conceal their expressions of faith - the athiests and secular humanists are so loving, so tolerant of differences of opinion - until they're in power and then they're not.

This discarding of Judeo-Christian ethics/morals/beliefs have coincided with a collapse in the prestige of the United States. A coincidence? Maybe. History will judge.

ETA: frick me - I thought this was the poliboard. Oh well:

What in the frick is that gif from?

Do you really want to play this game? Care to guess what percentage of the world's leading scientists are religious?
