@JABarn76 A virus crippled the entire world? No, the RESPONSE to the virus did that.

@iamAtheistGirl Kettlewell’s moths are no longer considered evidence of evolution. The main logical hurdles for undirected evolution are 1) abiogenesis, 2) sexual reproduction from asexual parents, and 3) the sheer amount of design information exceeds what mutations/selection can provide.

@OrevaZSN If nobody wants them, then why are intelligent capitalists, who depend on “want” from a paying public, doing them? Maybe you’re wrong about how this all works.

@MaysaDiye -54?

@Bloke_Baz Deuteronomy 8:18. What you derisively call “capitalism,” the rest of us call “economic freedom,” the ability for everyone to create wealth. It’s a good thing.

@archie_lochie A solid argument can be made that “hell” (a place of eternal conscious punishment, the “lake of fire”) doesn’t exist YET. Which makes both your statements true—for now.

@Joeray Whew. I’m not alone any more.

@RespectableCon Hooray for my home county—Lamoille in north-central Vermont! A hotbed of generosity in a land of misers.

@ShitlibSupreme You meant “Romney.”

@BarBQ96 No one treats it like historical fact. Pick a different windmill to tilt at.

@PolycarpsPen You’re trying to prop up the Mosaic Covenant. That is overwith, and in any case applied only to Israelites living in the land. Colossians 2 tells me very explicitly how to handle people who would judge me for what I eat or drink.

@Svigel “Dead Man Walking.” The gospel depends upon guilty persons recognizing their guilt and confessing.

@atomsareenough I got the jab, twice. I got COVID, twice. Is that what you mean by “it worked”? Or does it “work” only by comparison to a hypothetical scenario (“you’re not dead, are you?”)?

@SenSanders “The American healthcare system is broken. I know how we can kill it off completely.”

@JamieBonkiewicz Persuasive. I’ve voted for a Democrat exactly once in my lifetime. But this logic is so, you know, compelling.

[Dr. Michael J. Svigel @Svigel]

The dramatic rise in antisemitism, anti-Judaism, and anti-Israel hatred defies natural explanation. It’s literally diabolical, and many are falling under its spell. You can disagree with a religion’s tenets and with a nation’s policies and practices without spewing devilish hate.

@donwinslow Every time a leftoid says “it’s that simple” (Bernie S says this often), it can always be translated as “I don’t know anything about this, but here goes.”

@DuncanSmithNBA He lied. I got vaccinated twice, then got COVID. Twice. He told me that couldn’t happen. He lied to me.

[Scott P Shafer @shuzensoxon]

@IanCopeland5 Got vaccinated twice. Afterward, got COVID twice. Somebody lied to me.

@ewarren This soak-the-rich class-warfare nonsense appeals to foolish voters, I suppose. But it’s the duty of smarter people to counteract it, lest we go all Bolshevik and end up harming everyone.
