WOTM: Buyer Beware
I suspect nearly all of us have known someone who is an ardent researcher when it comes to their consumer purchases — cars, refrigerators, televisions, etc... but shallow the claims of their various religions hook, line, and sinker. This is one of the biggest problems I have with religion — the way people are forced to be (and this really is the only honest way to put it) two-faced, using one standard for nearly everything other than religion, and then another for God, the Bible, doctrine, claims, etc...
Thanks so much for all your help with these. I have three more really good ones coming in the next two days. One, in particular, I think you'll really like. It's my response to Franklin Graham's comments regarding the Supreme Court's decision to protect the LGBTQ+ communities (from the religious). I truly loath some of these people and the way they'd like to see others treated. But enjoy this one in the meantime! B

Spot on! I have Mormon family who examine every label of every the food product they buy: the origin, number of calories, ingredients, grams and percentages of nutrients, but… they somehow can't bring themselves to research, let alone believe, what National Geographic reports about Pre-Colombian civilizations. I wonder if they ever wonder… why didn't Elohim just inspire Moroni to translate into English what he was engraving on those gold plates? Could've saved Joey all the hassle of staring at a stone in his hat.
Great points! :-) Dude, are you doing okay?
The Christian People's Front ... sorry: Party here in Norway is currently far below the limit for getting access to the Norwegian Parliament. For the first time since it was... created. Only a very few, mostly old people go to church on Sundays and around Christmas. Churches lack funding for repairs, and are being closed for good. We used to be famous for burning them down, but no-one bothers anymore. Reason won! ... or was it perhapsss...
When you and your country people make it to the Star Trek future, think fondly of us old, long-dead, wretched souls in the USA.
