The biggest myth, or lie, is that everyone on pain medication are "addicts." That is nowhere close to being factual. An addict is someone who has an addictive personality, and who uses drugs for their euphoric affect. During their use, they become physically dependent, but they also build up a tolerance, searching for the "high," and require higher and higher doses to find that euphoric effect. Addicts crave the medication, because of the "high."
Chronic pain patients, on the other hand, are not addicts. They will become physically dependent, but they do not seek the high, nor do they crave the medication. As a matter of fact, chronic pain patients hardly ever have to have the dosage or type of medication changed, unless their malady becomes worse. Cancer patients, with growing tumors, however, do need higher doses until the end. Others, with medical problems causing constant pain, such as permanent back and joint injuries, do not, unless they become much worse. Chronic pain patients become normal citizens under the correct treatment.
The Federal government are not physicians, and sadly, they hire or impanel some physicians, with some mighty backward ideas, (generally due to a religious belief), such as equating addicts to chronic pain patients. The only physicians that the government should question or impanel, are chronic pain physicians, specialists, who treat pain on a daily basis, and have a specialty in doing so.

ANTIFA claims to be anti-fascist, and of the left. Many of them openly claim that they're Communists, which is as far left as one can go. Now, the problem is this. Nazism, and Fascism grew from Marxist Communism, with the National Socialists having similar beliefs as the Communists. Fascism took it's beliefs from Marx, and French utopian socialism. Thus, all three ideologies are left-wing. The KKK was also a left-wing hate group, similar to the Nazi Brown Shirts, or the Fascist Black Shirts, and they were started by the Democrats, as was Eugenics. In this case, it seems to me, that ANTIFA are fighting against themselves, and the political party that they support, the Democrats.

What is God? He is not a deity, sitting on a throne. Several physicists say that God is the uniform or unified field, that creates everything, and holds everything together. That, I totally agree with. Ancient religion states the same, in that God is invisible, but permeates everything, is in everything, and makes everything. Several of the ancients, and physicists, have stated that human consciousness is part of that field. There is much truth in the ancients, and I think, a few physicists.

Jimmy Carter, the one who armed the mujahideen, (the jihadists), over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, at the prompting of Zbigniew Brzezinski, who many state was in Russia's pocket.
The "initiative Carter authorized to achieve this goal was a collaboration between the CIA and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI); through the ISI, the CIA began providing some $500,000 worth of non-lethal assistance to the mujahideen on July 3, 1979—several months prior to the Soviet invasion. The modest scope of this early collaboration was likely influenced by the understanding, later recounted by CIA official Robert Gates, "that a substantial U.S. covert aid program" might have "raise[d] the stakes" thereby causing "the Soviets to intervene more directly and vigorously than otherwise intended."
" Of the seven mujahideen groups supported by Zia's government, four espoused Islamic fundamentalist beliefs—and these fundamentalists received most of the funding. Despite this, Carter has expressed no regrets over his decision to support what he still considers the "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan."
Also, Former U.S. President Carter, whose Center has monitored elections in Venezuela, expressed his condolences in a statement recognizing Chávez’s success in cutting the poverty rate in Venezuela by half. Now look at that country.
There's more, much more, that the left doesn't like to admit about the failures of Carter. He has no place to talk about any president.

For the tale of Moses, we know some of it was borrowed from the ancient Sumerian epics. The Hebrew God, YHVH, or El, came from the Canaanite Elil, which was their spelling for Enlil, and that leads back to the original old Gods, Enlil and Enki, where you find the first creation tale, the first laws, and the oldest civilization which has had its recorded history studied. The Torah and the Tanakh were written after the 10th Jewish king, to hide polytheism. They mix the tales of Enlil and Enki to get one God, and conveniently change the name to something else, in most literature. Abraham supposedly came from Ur, in ancient Sumeria, and he would have brought the original tale with him. Later, more came from the Babylonians.
If one takes into account that those Gods were flesh and bone deities, and might have been visitors, who mixed their blood (DNA) with ours, that would explain our DNA shift into a hybrid, which science has admitted that they have no idea what it is that we are mixed with. Who those visitors were, I have no idea.

I couldn't have stated it better myself.
The problem is, we have devout atheists, who will deny everything, even though we now have science (physicists) stating that there is some truth to the old religious claims, and what was meant by them. The anti-religious protesters are uneducated on the subject, at best, where they have never studied it, but then they try to push their denial on the multitudes.
As you say, they do not know what you or I think, and evidently they didn't read what we wrote, or at least enough to understand it. It is always something derogatory from those types, and I get sick of dealing with the harebrained idiots.
I believe in God the creator, the invisible energy that creates all, and understand what the earth bound Gods were meant to be, of old. They were two different things. I guess that some just can not wrap their minds around that. One can tell that they have no idea about ancient history, by their comments.

Stating that no other place has the death penalty is a fallacy. The death penalty can be found worldwide, with some forms of execution more gruesome that others.
"Etomidate is a short-acting intravenous anaesthetic agent, used for the induction of general anaesthesia and sedation for short procedures, such as reduction of dislocated joints, tracheal intubation, and cardioversion." It works immediately, and has a half-life of 75 minutes, so he was under when it happened.
Also, where they get "acid" from is a fallacy. They use Pancuronium bromide (Pavulon). Pancuronium is a typical non-depolarizing curare-mimetic muscle relaxant, which paralyzes the body, especially the diaphragm, this stops breathing.
They also use a high dose of Potassium Chloride, which stops the heart.
In this case, Etomidate replaced Midazolam as the sedative. Drug companies have made it harder to buy Midazolam for lethal injections. The Etomidate was followed by Rocuronium Bromide, a paralytic, and finally, Potassium Acetate, which stops the heart
