I am not a man overburdened with religiosity, but I respect the beliefs of others so long as they don't interfere with my basic human rights or constitutional rights. Let me ask you this, in 2000 years what proof that a ignorant, lazy, layabout, named Jason ever existed? Will your followers write books about your exploits? If they are twice as smart as you, they would make less sense than the babble in the Bible.
Lorne Thomas What is curious is the 'progressives' ongoing attack on religious belief. Why does a guy attack something he believes does NOT exist.? Evidence shows religious folks are happier than atheist, so WHY does a person go out of their way to take that belief away ?
Jason ON now I don't want to go in to history too much, but I want to be sure that I understate that you are saying that Egypt, Israel, Rome, and Cesar didn't exist even though Egypt, Rome, and Israel exist today and have been proven to have existed in antiquity beyond a shadow of doubt?
But if you want to have a religious faith based on Sherlock Holmes, that's fine with me. I like Sherlock Holmes, It's just people who lack the cognitive ability to even match a tenth of this fictitious intellectual hero that I can't abide by.
Jason ON why don't you want to start the First Elemental Church of Tarzan then? The scriptures were communicated in the Strand magazine and the blood spots on the rug.
Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....
After counting the votes for our Profile Picture contest we had a tie. For the first time in years, two photos had an even number of votes: This one: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+TinaSashWalker/posts/KCNmnniYMNb at 14. And this one: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MikeValknWing/posts/CsWNucdb8JQ also at 14. Since the moderation staff couldn't decide which photo was better, I had no choice but to default to section 6 of the contest rules: 6] Ties will be decided by the moderation staff and if we can't decide, well, I'll use a picture of my feet. Yes, I have pictures of my feet. You're welcome. Photo: me and Steve Johnson
