    Guns!

    https://us.cnn.com/2021/04/16/politics/mass-shootings-america-guns/index.html The article ends with, "...45 mass shootings in the space of a month means that we have a problem in this country. A problem that our government needs to find ways to address." OK fine, agreed, as far it goes. But...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    If you could just give me the gist? Or even quote what's pertinent? As a test for reasonability, I don't know why anyone "new" to the Bible wouldn't think that Galatians's "the Jerusalem which is above" (Gal 4:26), "the heavenly Jerusalem" in Hebrews 12:22, and the "new Jerusalem, coming down...

    One link to the Church's Catechism, and another to the Church's Scripture. Actually they can both be found at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website: https://bible.usccb.org/bible https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/

    Guns!

    Yes but, this is only a Bandaid. The folks who cleverly do this aren't always thinking about what happens once they die? Then their kin have the weapons, and they're off-book, and so the ones doing this to avoid being irresponsible, need to pass on their methods of keeping these things, and...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    John the Baptist calls Christ the Lamb. Paul says Christ is our Passover---he says it to Gentiles. Christ takes away the sins of the world, 1st Corinthians 15:3-4 The Church. Dan, is "the Jerusalem which is above" in Gal 4:26, the same as "the heavenly Jerusalem" in Hebrews 12:22, and the...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    No! I am not equivocating. I have one thing in mind when I say Church. It's you who tries to argue that when the New Testament mentions "Church" that it's something other than what I mean by it. "Church" is a main character in the NT. Along with Christ and John the Baptist and the Apostles...

    Guns!

    Because a forward vertical grip, is the most lethal thing on a gun. It's a threat multiplier. And I'm kidding of course.

    Why volunteer for the armed forces?

    I'm sorry for the inadvertent confusion. I thought that using "institutions of liberalism," "institutions of liberal democracy," "liberal institutions," etc., was going to be clearer, especially when I offered examples of them. I've been using the first meaning of the word "institution" as...

    Why volunteer for the armed forces?

    The US regime under the Articles of Confederation was basically a libertarian dream regime, and it was so bad it almost caused the fracture of the nation into multiple smaller confederacies by the late 1780s. We do need great central power, in order to best secure our freedoms and liberties...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    The only thing I've been saying here but I haven't expressed it explicitly is that the whole New Testament was written for the Church. The Church was established by the Apostles and was celebrating Mass primarily, for well over 10 years before even the first New Testament book or letter was...

    Why volunteer for the armed forces?

    You can't glean that from anything I'm writing. The freedom I want is freedom from evil. Our rights are moral rights, if you violate them, then you're being evil, and we are entitled to the freedom from all evil, otherwise we're just fooling ourselves.

    Why volunteer for the armed forces?

    No I'm not. Classical liberalism so called, is the same as modern liberalism with regard to the institutions. The institutions of so-called classical liberalism are the same institutions we have today, nothing at all has changed with regard to the liberal institutions. Classical liberalism so...

    Why Homosexuality MUST Be Recriminalized! Part 6

    And as I've argued, homosexual offense is but a type of masturbation, because there is no possibility of procreation, and that is what is denoted by 'masturbation'. There is coitus, and there is masturbation, there is no third option, and same-sex people do not have the ability to practice...

    Why volunteer for the armed forces?

    God is a liberal democrat. With the words liberal and democracy being defined by me itt, not whatever your meanings are for those words, so beware, that I mean by liberal and by democracy very particular things. They are both like wax noses and people make them mean whatever they want, but I...

    Why volunteer for the armed forces?

    You're misunderstanding me because to understand me would be to admit your error. I'm not saying and I have never said, and I have never implied that our rights were invented, but the recognition of them, which is objective, and yes, it requires specific language, and this is where your...

    Guns!

    Battleships---battleships full of cannon. 1934. National Firearms Act, or NFA. Federal. To this point you could legally purchase what would pass for a machine gun, (a Thompson) today (but is in fact a submachine gun because it fires pistol rounds instead of rifle rounds*). Without any...
