It could be said that atheists caused the most mass murders of the last century, from Pol Pot to Mao to Stalin.

That might also be considered tiresome.

Bonus:

Father Guido Sarducci

People who "know" for certain whether our reality is a computer simulation, a spiritual intervention in physical reality, an evolutionary burp, or billions of coexisting dimensions... or whatever else one can imagine... are just as "delusional" as each other.

Which is why it's called faith, not knowledge.

It always cracks me up when religionists and/or atheists are so sure they "know" THE TRUTH.

= Everyone else goes to hell when they die.

People who say things like that are judging other people and will be judged in the same way they judge others, according to the book they don't read.

It is only true in the sense that the definition of "hell" is separation from God.

Kinda like if Trump isn't in Mar a Lago when Visitor stops in to see him.

The separation alone is devastating!

They were promised that the 12 tribes would become as numerous as, "the sands of the seas and the stars of the heavens".... but that they would have forgotten their heritage and not know who they are.

It's possible that they are all around us; that they are us.

Almost all the people in modern Jerusalem are the descendants of peoples who converted to Judaism, not of the original tribes.

And this woman was tossed because she's an actual patriot, not an insurrectionist like more than half the Republican reps in the House.

To whom owning them a lib is almost as sweet as owning the Speaker.

The do it because they can.

With The Cult That Couldn't Coup Straight, it's prolly more like, "Loaded and Locked Up!".

The Blue ain't gonna be so unprepared for traitors next time.

Nor will they be alone.

Ah, so... the Trumper Circus is in charge of the House.

Here's Matt Gaetz's faux patriot stunt on the House Floor backfiring fabulously:

- You can't make a distinction between crony capitalism and just plain capitalism.

The distinctions are obvious to all but Republican shills.

Northern European countries, as one example, are capitalist economies, but they are also social democracies where their lawmakers represent the People, not the corporations.

I could simplify this for you further, but that would involve breaking out the crayons.

Making America Russia Again!!

What he means is privatize education; make it into corporate owned profit centers that put money above people... students, teachers, and parents.

Won't it be nice to have education drop down to health care and poverty rate levels as leaders to the bottom of the list of every major country.

Meh.... 'Murica is also last on the list of Top 25 economies in the World with Low Poverty Rates.... right after #24 Mexico.

This country has been raided and raped by corporate super citizens, and their often individual owners, so long and often now that Poor Healthcare and High Poverty are features in the Crony Capitalist system, not bugs.

None of which will change without people speaking out against these atrocities and others, like guns being the leading cause of Child Death here.

- I accept cold weather.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out"because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out"because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out"because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me"and there was no one left to speak for me.

- Corky is that do you even understand what crony capitalism is?

Yes... I even defined it briefly in my post just no one would be confused.

But then you came along....

"... crony capitalism, where it's legal to bribe politicians to vote against the interests of the People they represent..."

Citizens United isn't your friend, even if it was your Party that pushed it.

Of course, the number one cause of death among kids is guns.

So, Republicans are still #1!

The common cold is #7! - Myth Bomber

- replace it with communism

Now we know where the Zombie Karl Marx lives... in Ratty's head.

I bet it hates the black velvet Elvis posters.

He's going to be Dallas' next OC.... just you watch!

This is the same cult that stretches free speech to include bribing congressional representatives.

Obviously free speech stops at being a decent human being.

- conditioned to accept poverty as a reasonable option?

Isn't as common as being conditioned to accept crony capitalism, where it's legal to bribe politicians to vote against the interests of the People they represent, as the acceptable, nay, encouraged and violently supported, norm.

Who does he hate most? US Intel or US Military?

Maybe it's really US Courts.

I don't know about stepping down.... dancing down steps Broadway-style, maybe?
