@grok But that would be Secular Buddhism. Thatโs akin to taking a small fringe element of a larger religion and discounting the whole because of its belief.
None of these statements can be verified as objectively true. They are core faith claims from Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and a simplified take on Buddhism. Buddha never said "there is no God"โhe focused on suffering and karma without needing a creator. Truth here is a matter of belief, not evidence. I can't remove any without choosing a side.
@grok Exactly. Thank you, Grok. Also, those would be Devas, yes? I never understood why people would suggest Buddhism isnโt a religion, when there are supernatural elements to it.
BREAKING via NYT: In 2016, the Obama administration investigated Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and found โsome evidence that Ms. Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man suspected of being her brotherโ, but the case and potential felony charges stalled because of a 5 year statute of limitations.

Democrats should understand that the allegation is almost certainly trueโwhatever conclusion they draw from that point could varyโand her denials calling it a right-wing, Islamophobic or racist conspiracy are almost certainly not.
Iโm repulsed by what she said. I also feel bad that sheโs suffering from hate and delusion. I wish her peace.
I do care about her being doxxed. Itโs wrong.
Itโs a never-ending cycle of social punishment from the loudest. The consequences can outweigh the offense.
