@13BGunBunny : What? You’d prefer if they went the opposite way around the globe? You’d prefer if they visited Putin on their way? What, exactly are they doing, “wrong,” in your, “informed,” well, “researched,” and, “thought out,” opinion, madam? You don’t think it’s wise to let the military make the decisions? Maybe, the people who’ve been LIVING there for the past 20 YEARS might have a slightly better plan than an armchair general drunk on Orange Koolaid? . . . Just sayin’, ma’am . . . 🤦♂️

I hear you. Unfortunately, there are hostile foreign influences all over the web, convincing the credulous that, “Nationalism,” is somehow, “Patriotism,” when it’s not; that state efforts to vaccinate people are a, “conspiracy,” which it’s not; and that our troops, “shouldn’t come home,” from Afghanistan, which they should. We’re witnessing an unprecedented tragedy in human affairs. Back in the early 1990’s we all thought the internet would make us all smarter, with all that access to information. Who knew that all that information would somehow get polluted by our enemies and that at least a third of the population wouldn’t have enough common sense to see that, or to tell a solid source from childish idiocy? We didn’t know enough about Confirmation Bias, or about how the human brain gets Endorphin hits from visits to, “I’m right dot com.” People who used to be loners with their looney toons notions, are now a part of a, “community,” and they only realise they’re actually part of a, “conspiracy,” when the Feds kick in their doors. If we knew then what we know now, we’d have made criminal background checks, IQ tests and civics lessons compulsory, before, BEFORE issuing a LICENSE to use social media . . . 🙄✌️

@Scott Ferguson (using a scrambler on his name, so we can’t reply to him, but he’s, “not,” a deep state Trumpophile 🙄🤷♂️): trump was told about the MOAB, after the fact, son. He didn’t fly over Afghanistan and ride it down screaming, “Yee Haw!” like Slim Pickens in Doctor Strangelove, you numpty! And he DID say it. Look it up? Just don’t use your usual, “I’m Right Dot Com,” website, for a change? You’d be better off with comic book heroes, you know. You’d be wealthier AND healthier, that’s for damned sure 🤦♂️ . . . 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂 🤣

@MrDan11422 : Yeah, I believe in God, as taught in the Christian Bible. Which means not the God that most Christians seem to believe in. Few people have the relevant academic training or historical knowledge to contextualise the writings of the Bible, let alone understand it. And it’s no longer taught by pastors, because they don’t have the training or education either. Most only care about what’s in your wallet, and the tax breaks. What I don’t really go with is lots of aphorisms with little practical use in the real world. Jesus spoke to people in a very practical way, about real world issues and current affairs (of His day) and didn’t like to speak in riddles. Yeah, He used parables, but as a teaching tool, for specific situations with a clear context, that had been raised as a question.
Nothing is real. Let me rephrase that? There is such a thing as, “no thing.” A place where; no, not a place. An, “area,” in which no thing exists: no time, no objects, no movement, no light, no energy. Not even seething radiation or the bubbling of quarks. You and I will never experience this state of nothingness, because we are, “things.” Made up of countless other things. But, that oblivion of nothingness; that other dimension in which no thing exists . . . That is what awaits those who abandon life, love, and the experiences of free will. Eternal damnation is not a, “thing,” you can or will experience, but you can be consigned to it, nevertheless. You will simply not know it, because there will be no, “you,” to speak of. Jesus offers life eternal. Which is the only natural alternative to the universe in which we exist. The laws of physics demand it. You can choose life everlasting or the wages of sin, which are death. I know which I prefer . . .
