Psalm 22 begins "My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?" In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, Jesus yells this question from the cross. Psalm 22 also has enemies dividing the speakerl's garments among them, which is a crucifixion story

At the time the Old Testament book of Job was written, conventional wisdom was that bad outcomes were divine punishment for misdeeds. Job refutes that . For modern readers, Job's claims are obvious: Job has a straw man sound to me, probably to many others. Maybe the Book of Job changed some minds.

In one of the ickiest passages in the Bible, 2 Kings 20:19, Isaiah tells Hezekiah that Babylon will capture Jerusalem and castrate his son and heir. Hezekiah says"All good, not in my watch!" 😰

My goal is to be brave like Catholics who have dedicated themselves to God. I cannot do it physically, but I do have faith.

I have a hard time getting my head around this, but the statements of Jesus about coming again, the parosia, do not contract statements about salvation. And there is no time limit. So various followers of Jesus could believe these things, and nothing hinged on a prediction that refused to happen.

"...[All] of life is a symphony of successive losses. You lose your youth, your parents, your loves, your friends, your comforts, your health, and finally your life. To deny loss is to lose it all anyway, and to lose in addition your self-possession and your piece of mind." He nailed it!

If your argument for complying with the 14th amendment in regard to birthright citizenship is that it is inconvenient, maybe impossible, then your only legal recourse is to repeal it . Otherwise, you support illegal acts, funded by federal tax dollars. Research "Rendition"

Fun fact: in the movie, Patton, Patton's depicted victory at Kasserine, set in 1943 was a fabrication. The US forces lacked anti tank cannons that could damage the German Tiger tanks. This was was not remedied until the invasion of Sicily, when the Army deployed more powerful anti tank guns

NPR reports that the Taliban has banned chess in Afghanistan. From Microsoft Co-Pilot: Chess, known as "chaturanga", was developed in India, in the 6th or 7th century CE/AD. It spread to Persia, where it evolved into "shantraj". After the Arab conquest of Persia, Muslims adopted chess.

If you liken the saying "my country, right or wrong" to "my mother, drunk or sober" it does not mean you don't love your country . I agree with the saying. I love my country, the US. I love my late mother, for that matter. :)
