New Hampshire Now Least Religious State in U.S.

Shitty beer. The whole thing about turning water into wine can be explained by reading the Odyssey. The Greeks hauled around extremely concentrated wine, which they added to larger amounts of water to dilute it. In the Odyssey, Odysseus gets the cyclops drunk on the undiluted stuff. If there had been a Jesus, I see no evidence, he could have easily just added some concentrate.

My Mom hated wars, so, at least didn't come from her; and my Dad was a staunch all races were equal (watched him in 1966 tear into some old racist). But, I had cousins galore.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Sep 8, 2021:

I understand her actions. I can't say it was the best choice of action; yet, when my kids were younger, I strongly believe I may have killed such a person. The woman needs to sue the school, as well, for their harboring such an individual - things like that are seldom first happenings. I can ...

@rainmanjr Sadly, other parents wouldn't act because the daycare was overall really good and the students who worked there were terrified of the little Napoleon. I went straight to the college Presdent's office. The President's assistant, essentially the 2nd in command listened and investigated, speaking privately to everyone, who in private backed up what I had seen and logged. The woman wasn't technically fired, the school changed her position from a PHD to Masters level and she left. She hated me; once, I had an appointment and after a 20 minute wait just walked into her office and found her reading a magazine. And she knew I was there waiting. I had to walk past her secretary.

She’s lucky, I know a woman who killed her child’s abuser. She didn’t do a minute of time in prison either. People who abuse little kids deserve whatever happens to them.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Sep 8, 2021:

Back in the 80's or 90s, a guy in Louisiana shot and killed his kid's abuser/kidnapper on the news at an airport. I have always believed that the DA knew what he was doing, or an idiot. The DA insisted on first degree murder and nothing else. Since judges, not juries in that state, the jury found him innocent as they were afraid the guy might get the death penalty. They all said they would have given him 10 years.

I agree except for some notable exceptions. Those who cannot be vaccinated for real, genuine, medical reasons should not be denied a bed.

Of course, I totally agree. Often, those not getting vaccinated are putting those people most at risk.

This could get interesting, since the Supreme Court declined a ruling Garland has an excellent opportunity to bury them in paperwork and keep raising different obstructions. Chickenshit legal maneuvers work both ways.

Is religion merely a form of tribalism? Anybody who is not a member of my tribe is to be feared?

Beowulfsfriend replies on Sep 5, 2021:

Pretty much. I once said and wondered how far Islam would have risen if the catholic church hadn't gone with trinatarianism and had more pointed out to me the tribal nature of Muhammad - which was very true.

I am continually bemused by the number of uneducated right wing xtians who have no clue that Islam is just another Abrahamic religion. They think Allah is a completely different made up woo. And I tell them they like Mary even more than the Catholics do.
