I am glad to hear that Pennsylvania has solved homelessness, unemployment, understaffed and underfunded schools, overflowing prisons, that all roads and bridges are well maintained, and that lawmakers can now waste their time on futilities.
My favorite of my hairdressers boyfriends is named Jesus, and he moonlights as a naked pool-boy. He has washboard abs and would be quite delicious in a hardhat!
So if they've already done their jobs so well and so splendidly, let's tell them to pack up and go home for the rest of the year and save all that tax money. I don't know what the legislative cost per day is in PA, but in Florida, it was just south of $50,000 per day, IIRC, and that was back in the 90's.
Well, this may be technically true. You could probably find words like "we", "establish", and "people" in the bible. But in that way 100% of all the founding documents come from the Oxford English Dictionary. Instead of a "Day of the Bible", perhaps a "Day of the Dictionary".
There already is a Constitution Day, but it's not acommonly observed holiday. 17 September is Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, but since that latter part is for honoring naturalized citizens, Trump will probably get rid of it. Come to think of it, he probably wants to get rid of the Constitution Day part as well.
Well, some of the words and idea were from the Bible. Like initially, when the USA prohibited women from voting and holding office, that was a very biblical idea.
Apparently we are playing you at footie on July 5. You people are "mercurial" according to our rugby writers. I wondered if they'd been listening to your various "cactus" statements. 😇
When you consider these religious advocates being content with such things as, inequality, the working poor, insurance companies running health care at the expense of the sick, society being awash with guns, not to mention also their approval of overt violence inflicted on others throughout the world and the US not adhering to international laws around human rights and human dignity. One must look further into the pathology of US society and thinking than simply focusing on 'religion.'
Talk about the need for collective and extensive clinical therapy. 🤔
But just like planet of the apes, "You may no like what you find."
Another xtian violating the commandment about not lying. The Cult of the Cross is incapable of truth telling. But then again, isn't their whole religion (along with its book) based on falsehood after falsehood?
She may not be actively lying about the Aitken bible. She may just be willfully ignorant. She bought into Barton's lies because they fit the narrative her indoctination claims. Then she refuses to even listen to anyone who contradicts her because Jesus.
Truth is hard, Joe, but listening to the constant deluge of prevarication coming out of the xtian nationalists is even harder.
Religion based on 10 Commandments that should, by their own order, never be broken. Yet, their virulent spew goes on and on and on as they break each and every “commandment” with impunity. Pay attention to what they do, not what they say.
Most of them are actually shitty atheists who decided if there’s no afterlife that life isn’t worth living. They want to take all the rest of us down with them. Zombies
If they say they’re Christians but ignore the teachings of Christ and go out of their way to judge others, why would their false claims be good enough for anyone?
Actually, no one needs congressional approval to print a Bible. There isn't much Congress can ban when it comes to publishing. David Barton may as well be calling himself an astronaut rather than a historian. I know of nothing in the Constitution that was taken directly from the Bible. That foundational document never mentions the words Bible, Christianity, and Jesus. It does, however, specifically ban religious tests for holding public office in the United States, and if that isn't church-state separation, then I don't know what is. Nowhere does the Constitution give religion a role to play in governance.
The need for a locally published bible was seen because the Crown had a monopoly on copyrights for all books published in the colonies. There had been a bible published in Boston in 1752, but it was marked with a London copyright to avoid the royal copyright restrictions.
As someone else pointed out, this was pre-Constitution. Who knows how that congress handled patent, copyright, and publishing sort of rules.
Plus you can't eliminate someone doing it just for the advertising value. A book publisher may not *need* congress to approve it, but if they can get that unnecessary Congressional approval, that's a big selling point.
Maybe we ought to have White Evangelicals read the whole Bible in front of witnesses and pass a test demonstrating understanding before they can introduce these types of laws and resolutions.
More territory-marking. More virtue-signaling. More promotion of a book which has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF THIS NATION. But Stephanie Borowicz wants to do it anyway to show EVERYONE what a Good Little Christian™ she is. REALLY she is!
Hell of it is, if she wanted to show that, she could co-sponsor and work for a bill that insures funding for SNAP or protections for LGBTQ+ youth. Oh, but she COULDN'T do that. It's so unbiblical! 😱
It's the bit about believers meeting Jesus after they die and being seperated into 2 groups: Those believers who fed, clothed and housed the poor as well as visiting the sick and imprisoned and those believers who did not.
Those who did got eternal life in heaven. Those who did not got the express elevator to eternal torment.
New World was also the name of the cult Nicki Reed joined back in the day on The Young and the Restless. The one who exposed the investigative journalist and almost got her killed.
Other than the KJV, the rest are Satan trying to corrupt the Word of God. God personally guided the hands of the scribes. I think the bible was written in English and then translated into Hebrew and Latin.
(Other than the last sentence, I actually heard that said when I was growing up)
"Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God."
We had a Day of the Dali Lama once. Streets were shut down, you couldn't get anywhere. The way people treated it, you'd think he was the pope or something. ; )
Signs as you entered PA back in the 1990s read "Welcome to Pennsylvania: America Starts Here." A presumptuous slap in the face to NJ, DE, NY, and even OH and lowly WV. Pennsyltucky is indeed murica.
And they always ruin Christmas and Thanksgiving because they can't keep their filthy mouths shut, even when they're outnumbered. Or just stick to sports and the weather like everybody else does.
I am for it. Actually, I am for a day of the bible every day, but only with the original meaning of the word bible, which is Greek for book. Let start with May 6th, ASOIAF day and May 11th "On quiet nights" by Till Lindemann.
Jan.1 (usually): The Feast of Fools Day from the Middle Ages. I mean, hell, we've already got our Lord of Misrule, and everything is already upside down and backwards. Let the feasting commence! (Unless you're SNAP, then, oh well too bad.)
I just got the weirdest junk mail. Apparently this person has either photos or videos I'm not quite sure of me jerking off to "unusual or controversial porn" and if I don't – sorry I don't know what exactly they demanded because I was too busy laughing and just deleted it – do whatever it is They wanted me to do they would send them to all my friends. I wonder if this could be the result of all those passwords that apparently got Published?
Yeah, I got one of those some 15 years ago. Surprised that it's still going around. Since I use my phone for interwebs access, I quickly figured out that if they turned on the camera facing me, they would just get a close up shot of my face and if they turned on the back facing camera they would have a shot of the furniture across the room. Nothing would indicate what I was watching/reading nor would it show anything but my face. But I bet they got money from some worried dudes.
Yes it's a bit weird because I'd been through a phase of getting no junk mail at all. After a spate of Chinese and Russian women who apparently wanted to marry me. And now all of a sudden I'm getting messages from women who simply want to have sex rather than marry me and blackmail from idiots.
My most recent junk is fake Paypal bills for services I don't subscribe to, threats to cut off my Gmail account unless I pay for more storage, threats to delete all the photos and files I don't store in the cloud or notices that I have had thousands of dollars deposited in my nonexistent online gambling accounts. The marriage offers are mostly from Ukraine, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and the usual offers for an exchange of bodily fluids from women who "super liked" with names like Sherifat, Arlanda and Nikitha (but the photos are all the same).
I am glad to hear that Pennsylvania has solved homelessness, unemployment, understaffed and underfunded schools, overflowing prisons, that all roads and bridges are well maintained, and that lawmakers can now waste their time on futilities.
On Infrastructure alone, they're ranked 43rd. I've seen no pictures of Jesus in a hardhat.
"Jesus in a hardhat"
His name is spelled Jézus and he will soon be deported by ICE.
My favorite of my hairdressers boyfriends is named Jesus, and he moonlights as a naked pool-boy. He has washboard abs and would be quite delicious in a hardhat!

Apparently we are playing you at footie on July 5. You people are "mercurial" according to our rugby writers. I wondered if they'd been listening to your various "cactus" statements. 😇
Well if that's the logic, then Hebrew Torah and Koine Greek NT, not so much.

Willful ignorance and willful omission are not the paths to truth. :)
She does not want the truth. Truth is hard, truth would force her to give up her favorite hate.
Truth is hard, Joe, but listening to the constant deluge of prevarication coming out of the xtian nationalists is even harder.
Religion based on 10 Commandments that should, by their own order, never be broken. Yet, their virulent spew goes on and on and on as they break each and every “commandment” with impunity. Pay attention to what they do, not what they say.

Imagine being so insecure about your faith that you have to prop it up with lies turned into bad legislation?
The insecurity that comes when you live in a fantasy.
Most of them are actually shitty atheists who decided if there’s no afterlife that life isn’t worth living. They want to take all the rest of us down with them. Zombies
I don't claim them. If they say they're Christians, that's good enough for me.
🤣
Same, James, it's not like the bar isn't very low from historical behavior.
If they say they’re Christians but ignore the teachings of Christ and go out of their way to judge others, why would their false claims be good enough for anyone?
A not even nice kind of fantasy, I mean, at least go for a good one!

Ooh! I can think of some passages that I would like them to answer questions about!
Exactly. Something like Jesus’ command about healing the sick and being hospitable to strangers? Or feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless?
Does anyone know what her legislative/voting record is in those areas?
(On the other hand, don’t waste your time, I can guess.)
Ezekiel 23:20.

Ezekiel 23:20, yes.

They already proved they are incapable to understand a much shorter text: "The Constitution"
It is part of the DJT bible.
Which tells you he hasn't even opened the one that bears his name. It's the original he wants to use to wipe the "royal" ass.

*cough*Matthew 25:31-46*cough*
Nope, uh-uh, sorry, she don't read that.
Come on... that is that woke Jeebus - the one Rethuglican Jeebus is getting rid of.
More like that part wasn’t read to her during services. You really think she cracks that book open to read?!
If you buy a bible and put it on your shelf for show, you're probably a Catholic.
If you buy a bible and only read the parts you like, you're probably an American evangelical Christian.
If you buy a bible and read it cover to cover with an analytical mind, you're probably an atheist.
More like that part wasn’t read to her during services. You really think she cracks that book open to read?!
I skipped endoctrinement classes. What does it say ?

New Life Version (NLV)
New World
The fight over which version is the best has spilt enough blood to float a navy.
She did specifically stated the Aitkin Bible. Whichever translation that is.
I've never heard of it, either, must be a fundy book.
The Aitkin is a KJV.
New World was also the name of the cult Nicki Reed joined back in the day on The Young and the Restless. The one who exposed the investigative journalist and almost got her killed.
Damn, the weird things I remember sometimes.
The children will simply learn Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek.
Other than the KJV, the rest are Satan trying to corrupt the Word of God. God personally guided the hands of the scribes. I think the bible was written in English and then translated into Hebrew and Latin.
(Other than the last sentence, I actually heard that said when I was growing up)
She's confused enough already. Why overload her pea brain.
If I saw that face of hers walking on the sidewalk toward me, I would immediately cross the street. She radiates evil and stupid.
I hate to think what you would do if you saw me.
How would she feel if the government establishes "The Day of the Jews" or "The Day of the Muslim" or "The Day of the Dali Lama?"
The Day of Baphomet. The Day of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Or just maybe ... The Day of REASON.
Here's how Christians see Reason:
"Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God."
-- Martin Luther
Living in fantasy does strange things to the human brain. Reason is what separates us from the MAGATS.
No, it never did come to the aid of spiritual things, because spiritual things DO NOT EXIST!
At first I thought you were quoting a televangelist or a megachurch preacher. My how things have (not) changed.
Reason treats bullshit with contempt. Hm. Sounds like the appropriate response.
I was suggesting a day to honour pastafarians but you were ahead of me there …
Just seeing this. GMTA 👍
Thankyou, kind sir.

We had a Day of the Dali Lama once. Streets were shut down, you couldn't get anywhere. The way people treated it, you'd think he was the pope or something. ; )

Jonah and the Great White. No happy ending for him after 3 days.
I am for it. Actually, I am for a day of the bible every day, but only with the original meaning of the word bible, which is Greek for book. Let start with May 6th, ASOIAF day and May 11th "On quiet nights" by Till Lindemann.
16th. June: Bloomsday: already established in Dublin.
13th. June: Dalloway Day: not yet established.
Any more?
April 2, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Day?
November 23rd. The Day of the Doctor.
April Fool's day, The art of the deal and drumpster's endorsed babble.
Jan.1 (usually): The Feast of Fools Day from the Middle Ages. I mean, hell, we've already got our Lord of Misrule, and everything is already upside down and backwards. Let the feasting commence! (Unless you're SNAP, then, oh well too bad.)

I just got the weirdest junk mail. Apparently this person has either photos or videos I'm not quite sure of me jerking off to "unusual or controversial porn" and if I don't – sorry I don't know what exactly they demanded because I was too busy laughing and just deleted it – do whatever it is They wanted me to do they would send them to all my friends. I wonder if this could be the result of all those passwords that apparently got Published?
Nah, I got those too. Pretty damned impressive of them to hack into my webcam and take videos of me.
Especially since I don’t have a webcam.
I don't have one either. One of the reasons why wasn't worried.
Yeah, I got one of those some 15 years ago. Surprised that it's still going around. Since I use my phone for interwebs access, I quickly figured out that if they turned on the camera facing me, they would just get a close up shot of my face and if they turned on the back facing camera they would have a shot of the furniture across the room. Nothing would indicate what I was watching/reading nor would it show anything but my face. But I bet they got money from some worried dudes.
They wanted you to pay bitcoin, usually USD 1200 equivalent, is the most common I get.
They cum in spurts of usually 2-5 and then a week or two without any.
Yes it's a bit weird because I'd been through a phase of getting no junk mail at all. After a spate of Chinese and Russian women who apparently wanted to marry me. And now all of a sudden I'm getting messages from women who simply want to have sex rather than marry me and blackmail from idiots.
My most recent junk is fake Paypal bills for services I don't subscribe to, threats to cut off my Gmail account unless I pay for more storage, threats to delete all the photos and files I don't store in the cloud or notices that I have had thousands of dollars deposited in my nonexistent online gambling accounts. The marriage offers are mostly from Ukraine, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and the usual offers for an exchange of bodily fluids from women who "super liked" with names like Sherifat, Arlanda and Nikitha (but the photos are all the same).
Definitely "junk" mail.
