A BIG BANG

by

Took a break from the Republican melee and watched Big Bang.  SERENDIPITY!  It dawned on me that Romney is the political incarnation of Sheldon … out of touch with reality;

Doing too much good.

The Mars Candy decision to reduce the size of their candy bars is a farce!  The First Lady’s desire to improve the health of the nations children is laudable but this is ridiculous.  Does Mars expect to sell less product? NO!  They expect you continue to buy the same or even more!  Instead of 1 large Mars bar they expect you will buy 3 or more small Mars bars!  Do they expect to decrease their profit? NO!

Freedom of Religion

by

I checked the preamble to the Constitution and guess what? It starts with the words “We the people.” It does not begin with we the hospitals, schools, day care centers, soup kitchens, or any other institution … not even churches!  The first amendment guarantees freedom of religion to “We the people” it does not guarantee freedom of religion to hospitals, schools, day care centers, soup kitchens, or any other institution … not even churches!

Knowledge and Reality

I was reading an article in the Wikipedia on Jewish philosophy at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_philosophy  and the section far down the page at:

Most Haredim contended that one cannot simultaneously be a philosopher and a true adherent of a revealed religion.

God’s Vengeance

by

I was wondering how long it would take for some religious fanatic to say it. “I don’t know how much God has to do…. We’ve had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, ‘Are you going to start listening to me here?'” I thought it would be some Islamic fundamentalist saying it was God’s punishment for us killing Bin Laden.

More on Seperation of Church and State

My father, a fundamentalist Baptist Minister, opposed, (no he was actually angered), by public events that included pray.  He based his opinion of such acts on the verses which you can check out here:  http://bible.cc/matthew/6-5.htm  and here  http://bible.cc/matthew/6-6.htm and here  http://bible.cc/mark/12-17.htm  and here http://bible.cc/john/9-31.htm.  He agreed with Billy Graham that what these verses made abundantly clear was that  ” Sin erects a barrier between us and God.

Fundamentalism

Christian Fundamentalism 
This is a condensed summary of what Fundamentalist Christians believe.
