I see nothing inconsistent with your comment. I have never seen the Bible as the literal word of God nor have I ever taken it literally. But many do. There is a movement of churches leaving the UMC and joining the WMC, which is very strict and conservative. We attend a branch of the big one in Highland Park Dallas and the preacher actually concluded that Paul was wrong in his words to Timothy about women speaking in front of the church.


Now that you see my comment is consistent, let me also say to you the same thing Christ said, "...render on to Ceasar what is Ceasar's render unto God what is God's", "turn the other cheek", and "love thy enemies"

These three teachings of Christ, actually protect the one following the teaching. Making peace with "Ceasar" keeps you out of trouble with the government. By "turning the other cheek" the abuse of power generally loses its appeal. Abuse of power comes with desire. Human desire for a selfish purpose. And you've heard the saying, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer", that came about due to Christ's teachings, "love thy enemies".

With that being said, when the issue is men's dominance over women, the above three teachings if properly followed, the victim will survive. But the teaching transcends everything, slave to master, son to father, father to son, mother to daughter, daughter to mother, father to daughter, daughter to father, mother to son, son to mother; as well as, subordinates to superiors, public to authorities and authorities to the public.

So these incidents transcends all forms of subjucation. That is why the bible and religion is so important, it is knowledge that can turn into wisdom with good learning.

The Bible also says women shouldn't be allowed to speak in front of the church but many, like the UMC, say that is wrong. Should we follow the entirety of the bible isn all things? Everyone is responsible for what they do, not their parents nor their ancestors.


Now the Bible is a history of how humanity matured. How it matured in faith, knowledge, reason, and wisdom.

There will be therefore rules that applied when humanity was at a point of that maturity, when mankind grew more mature then the old laws were no longer necessary, as St Paul the apostle said, "When I was a child, I thought like a child, I acted like a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

Thus, by example the bible follows this precedence. So when the old testament is combined by the completeness of the new, the boy at Genesis, that needs guidance, becomes a man, that is self governing. This becomes with in human history and as asense of utopia, with the absence of mass control. For the control is established by the harmony of the nature of the human spirit.

Looking at the point of slavery which existed because the line of Cain practiced it, which it learned from the angels. But slavery is a tool used against the nature of the human nature. Slavery began due to the jealously of the angels which they taught to man, and the half angels or demi gods, these demi gods became demons after they died.

Therefore to justly charge for reparations of the slaves, and if you follow the precedence and premise of your question, the responsible must be held accountable for the sin. Since the sin started with the angels, or the devil...evil angels....then prey I ask the question, how do you hold these creatures responsible and how do you make them pay for thier sins since judgment has already been done?

Thus, the only thing we can do, is hold each person responsible and accountable for thier own acts. That being said, the principle is, if one is held to account then all are held to account. Therefore, the jews, the whites, the blacks, and everyone in-between were at one time or another, slaves.

Where one can only be truly free, when one is the slave of God the Almighty. Who taught humanity how to be free and promotes self governance.

Through wisdom, reason and knowledge, with hope, faith and love is the only way to achieve this self governance.

As was shown in the Bible, which is the basis of the constitution, and also seen in the constitution as man continues to mature, each human being therefore has free will, therefore the restriction of a man being a man, and a woman being a woman, shall not be infringed upon....either way. Thus, in my opinion, Jesus Christ was all those years ago, the first American!

Thus His teachings apply in all things today. But it took 2000 years of suffering for these true ideas to take hold.

That is my reply. Do with it as you wish.

There was a time in biblical times when you were held to account for what your family did, until the 7th generation......however we are not living in those days.

Every person is responsible for the good and bad they do in this world and it would be completely unfair to charge them with crimes of thier forefathers or descendants.

Parents are responsible for thier children, until thier children reach the age and mentality of an adult, which occurs between 18 and 25.

Although love transcends time, and therefore hate does too, a person is only held to acount for what they can do, and what they have done. And since praise and guilt are part of love and hate, the individual may hold themselves accountable, but that is not necessary. You are responsible for your own actions or inactions.

Nothing more and nothing less.

It is what it is.

Vail schools, Raytheon evacuated
Vail schools evacuated because of bomb threat.


TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) — Three Vail schools were evacuated on Tuesday afternoon because of bomb threats called in meanwhile nine Raytheon buildings were also evacuated today because of a suspicious package.

The schools affected were Cienega High School, Empire High School and Desert Sky Middle School. The evacuation at Cienega has been lifted. The Tucson Police Department is actively working the other two campuses.

The district posted this announcement on Facebook:

“Within the last 30 minutes, we received the same anonymous phone call at Desert Sky Middle School, Empire High School, and Cienega High School that simply stated there was a bomb on campus and the person then hung up.


“We are coordinating with law enforcement who has advised each campus to evacuate buildings as a precaution."

From William Weir...Author, Journalist, Minister

Briefly. Gas prices got as low as $1.87 in February 2016 under Obama, holding steady around $2.30 until Trump took office. From there they rose steadily until October 2018, reaching a peak of almost $3.00. As the economy continued to flounder under Trump (2018 saw the worst year for the stock market since the 2008 housing crisis; the Fed lowered interest rates in 2019 for the first time since Bush was President to try to prevent a recession), prices fell slightly, holding around $2.65 until the pandemic.

Once Trump mishandled the pandemic and the country began shutting down, demand for fuel dropped and prices fell, reaching $1.93 in April 2020—almost as low as a year before Trump took office. Trump then stated that low gas prices (during a financial crisis) was bad for America. He pushed OPEC into a two year deal to slash production to drive up prices. (This is probably the only thing in his failed Presidency that he successfully accomplished.) Gas prices began to rise immediately and continued to rise until Biden took office.

Once Biden reopened the country, people started driving normally again and the global oil shortage Trump created drove prices up even faster. Prices continued to climb until Trump’s OPEC deal ended in May 2022, peaking at just over $5.00 in June. Then normal production resumed and prices began to fall again. Currently prices are hovering around $3.00 a gallon, about where they were at the end of 2018—the last time the economy was considered reasonably stable under Trump.

So long story short, Trump’s failed economy did lead to gas prices dipping before reaching a record high because of his OPEC deal, but thanks in part to record high domestic oil production under Biden, gas prices are back in line with where they were before the “Trump Slump” despite global inflation driving prices up on almost everything else.

So let’s adjust the numbers for global inflation. The $2.30 under Obama in 2016 would be $2.97 in today’s dollars. That $3.00 under Trump in 2018 would be $3.71 in today’s dollars. The $2.65 we averaged in 2019 would be $3.22 in today’s dollars. So adjusting for inflation, gas prices now under Biden are lower than they were before the pandemic under Trump, and only slightly higher than they were in the final year of Obama’s Presidency.

Where do you get this stuff, I know for a fact, that in 2017, in a circle k in tucson, gas prices hit an all time low of $0.87 a gallon, (had the picture on my old phone), for three months straight....and that was when a barrel of crude was -$69 a barrel. So the post is false.

The easiest way to assess what support may have been lost by Trump and Biden over the past four years might be to look at the people who worked for them in the White House. The people that were right there as they governed, who saw first hand how well they did the job.

We know that Mike Pence isn’t supporting Trump. That’s the Vice President.

Bill Barr, Trump’s Attorney General - not supporting Trump.

John Bolton, Trump’s National Security Advisor - not supporting Trump.

General McMaster, Trump’s other National Security Advisor - not supporting Trump.

Mark Esper, Trump’s Defense Secretary - not supporting Trump.

General Mattis, Trump’s other Defense Secretary - not supporting Trump.

Tom Bossert, Trump’s Homeland Security Advisor - not supporting Trump.

Miles Taylor, DHS Chief of Staff - not supporting Trump.

Rex Tillerson, Trump’s Secretary of State - not supporting Trump.

Mike Pompeo, Trump’s other Secretary of State - not supporting Trump.

Ty Cobb, Trump’s White House lawyer - not supporting Trump.

Alex Azar, Trump’s Secretary of Health - not supporting Trump.

General Kelly, Trump’s Chief of Staff - not supporting Trump.

Betsy DeVos, Trump’s Secretary of Education - supported DeSantis.

Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s other Chief of Staff - not supporting Trump.

General Milley, Trump’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - not supporting Trump.

Dan Coats, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence - Not supporting Trump

Trump’s Press Secretaries, Sarah Matthews and Stephanie Grisham, and his Communications Directors Anthony Scaramucci and Alyssa Farah Griffin - not supporting Trump.

In fact, out of 44 people asked, who served in Trump’s cabinet, just 4 have endorsed him. 90% of them are not supporting Trump for re-election.

If you find any members of Biden’s cabinet that do not support his re-election, let us all know know. Because as far as I know, there aren’t any.

Maybe somebody could explain why any ordinary America voter would support Donald Trump’s re-election bid when most of the people who served in his last government job won't.

Preparing to say goodbye... a message from Clint Eastwood

My Twilight Years at 90. If you realize each day is a gift, you may be near my age. As I enjoy my twilight years, I am often struck by the inevitability that the party must end.

There will come a clear, cold morning when there isn't any "more." No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat. It seems to me that one of the important things to do before that morning comes is to let every one of your family and friends know that you care for them by finding simple ways to let them know your heartfelt beliefs and the guiding principles of your life so they can always say, "He was my friend, and I know where he stood.”

"So, just in case I'm gone tomorrow, please know this: I voted against, Biden, that incompetent, lying, flip-flopping, insincere, double-talking, radical socialist, terrorist excusing, bleeding heart, narcissistic, scientific and economic moron that spent eight years in the White House with Obama trying to destroy our wonderful country and turn it into Muslim loving, socialist crap hole like Obama came from and I don't mean Hawaii! Participating in a gun buy-back program because you think criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you think your neighbors have too many kids.”

Regards, Clint

https://listverse.com/2016/09/30/10-common-misconceptions-about-atheism/?utm_source=more&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=direct


Most of what he posted there is true, however, how does one explain, that the atheist, with no belief in God can become whole?

Now what do I mean by this comment? Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, pondered the mysteries of life, in ancient days. In fact it was Aristotle, that taught Alexander. And Alexander was considered as Alexander the Great.

Atheism is human, therefore, it is fallible. Atheism is a religious, due to the fact that human beings are religious by nature, and Atheism is just that anti religion. Belief in no God, is just as powerful as belief in a God. It is a lifestyle. And in time that lifestyle bears fruit.

This is not a religious view point, but a view point of reason. Man has determined how his thoughts and lifestyle shall be. The lack of God in the viewpoint of Man, brings Man to a place of being pessimistic. Where one who believes in God is optimistic. It is just a perspective that's all it is. A religious person has a different perception on life, than an atheist. That's all it is.

Just like an optimistic person always hopes for the best, the pessimist always fears the worst. The optimist expects the better, and the pessimist expects the worst. This is perception, not religion. That is what you wrote about. Man is equal in all ways, therefore the religious is equal with the anti religious.

The philosophy from Christian circles, that you mentioned, serves the Greek and Roman philosophy quite well in concerning God, "Either you are for me, or you are against me" ; this is a Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, philosophy that has been completed by the Christians. And for intended perception is true. Thus, with in this perception, you must also state the other Judeo-Christian philosophy, when combined with Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, "How can the imperfect judge the imperfect?", the answer is "Hate the Sin, not the Sinner"........

This concept would have never come to be, by those who follow anything as blind sheep and never challenging what they believe to be true, and just accepting what they think. In order to challenge a principle, thought or process, it is necessary to have the being of what is being tested, and the anti being of what is being tested. Only through that dynamic can one understand....as what is demonstrated above. If taken to full circle, and the hope is it is, the subject will change from Athiest to Christian.
