I could only spare time for the first 25 min. of this 1:19 video and that was probably more than needed to realize that there was nothing I hadn't heard or read before.
My first thought, are you just throwing bait into the waters?
Assuming not, I think that calling Judaism an AstrotheOlogy is a bit of a stretch. I think it is more "life" centered than sun centered. So, to the degree that Christianity is a Judaic sect, it is also "life" centered.

The use of the term "image" may be considered synecdoche (a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa).

That may have been enough to get Warren into Harvard. I am sure it helped her grades also.

It would behoove all on this thread (who seek to avoid confirmation bias) to read the following:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren
There you will read that she was never a student at Harvard, but "As of 2011, she was the only tenured law professor at Harvard who had attended law school at an American public university."

You are right as rain. It was late when I wrote that comment. I read the ranking in a local newspaper article in my hometown. The man who wrote the article has a Doctorate in history from UVA. He wrote an article using historical facts and things that happened during the last 25 years. He also logically concluded that Trump would win the Presidency and lose the popular v**e. He is a pretty smart cookie. I may be inaccurate, but I stand by my comment.
I would like to read that article.
I think the primary factor that determines p**********l greatness is luck. For example, Abraham Lincoln is usually considered the greatest President because he was in office when the (arguably) greatest threat to our nation was concluded somewhat successfully. Obama's Presidency will probably be considered successful because he was lucky enough to inherit an economy in free fall and left office with the economy doing much better.

Mr. Wolfe,
This article basically says that if what you just posted were true, we would now be suffering under President Hillary. Since we are flourishing under President Trump, your article is wrong. Proof positive that under Obama, the job market sucked Barry.

I seem to be insufficient in understanding your reasoning, so could you explain how the article you quote supports your statement?

I agree, that debt is a tool. I imagine most businesses use it because equity financing is unavailable (particularly true of farming). But as with any tool, it can be (in the judgement of some) misused. Some might consider it a misuse to incur debt with the expectation of paying it off at a discount (lend me $100 and I'll pay you back $50). Alexander Hamilton set the precedent that the United States of America would not do this; the United States of America makes the solemn promise to repay all its debts in full. Some (conservatives?) think that President Trump might renege on this promise.
You (4430) seem to suggest that we should reduce our debt by spending less. The following site sheds an interesting light on spending:
https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/
wherein I found, "...tax breaks function as a type of government spending, and they are officially called "tax expenditures" within the federal government."

The record going back to 1933 shows us that by every measure the country does better under Democratic leaders. Economic growth, job creation, the stock market, Check it out for your self. Conservatives are bereft of ideas cannot govern well. The father of the modern conservative movement and founder of the National Review admitted that the only job of the conservative is to stand athwart history shouting " STOP " It's the only thing they are good at
This may be why some traditional conservatives look askance at President Trump; he sometimes shouts "GO", they think recklessly.

I wonder what statistic you found that said those 3 million +/- were "happy" to be going to their respective full-time jobs, and how many were relieved because they could reduce their workload to part-time solely because of OUR national healthcare program?

Everything about Black Sambo is worthless. He will go down in history as our worst President. Obama is number one, Bush, 44, number two and Hoover number three. Pieces of crap.
It is probably foolish of me to think that your comment is anything other than an invitation to flaming, and yet...
What factors are you using in your ranking?
By the way, Bush the Junior was 43. But then again, you may think that Obama was so bad, that he was not only the worst, but so bad that he is also tied with Bush for second worst.

So Obama started this economy that Trump is enjoying by increasing the debt to 21 trillion !
Are you saying this is a bad thing? Remember the words of President Trump, "I love debt".

Hey now! I think the proper use of semicolons is absolutely political.

If God made us in His image (and not just p***eful thinking on our part), then God must be a beautiful horrible terrible person. Sad.

Why not like it was done in 1565, or 12,000 BCE?

The h**e is disturbing; knowing why h**e arises would be helpful. Googling "causes of h**e", I found this gem:

As to "effort on finding solutions", I think a lot of effort may be needed to learn how to recognize problems.
I also think we have a wonderful Nation.

I agree that the use of statistics provides valuable understanding of all sorts of phenomena, but I think slatten49 makes a good point, in that statistics can be used to murky the waters of understanding. Sad.
