the 1 st book in Dennis Prager's new series " The Rational Bible".
can't wait for the next one to arrive.
T he Rational Bible
Even secular folks should read this; my biggest takeaway:
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
Proverbs 2:6-8
Dennis Prager's point: the difference between the left and right today, the secular left has tons of knowledge but no wisdom. Wisdom is the key to understanding the human condition.

I prefer the Irrational Bible. It's got robots, lasers, sword fights, ninjas, pirates, dragons and a time travelling kung fu baby Jesus.

I don't attack bible people. They have things to say that make me think. M.S. is gone because he was attacked for his beliefs. Some of the best people I've known have been religious at heart and they never judged like an atheist does.

If MS is gone because of an attack on his beliefs, he's even more of a goddamn idiot then I thought. If people want to attack me for being somewhat of a deist, I dont give a shit.

You couldn't answer my questions Maggot?
Did you see them as attacking Pryo?
I have a difficult time with conversations that lump people onto one side saying they all believe and act in the same way. But if someone says "The left is this..." Then I will ask them about the right.

I don't know where you got that idea, but MS is not gone because he was attacked for his religious beliefs.

I don't know where you got that idea, but MS is not gone because he was attacked for his religious beliefs. I like to believe he left because he was a boob hound that got in trouble with the wife or better that he is juggling too many boobs...or personal responsibilities.

Only because he was deep in that thread about his faith and then he disappeared. If you know otherwise just say so that's fine. It's not the first time the "loop" is in another sphere.
