Re: And the award for the best shade throwing goes to...



Those Trump people are so damned stupid - but sadly too many of their followers are even more stupid.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

To paraphrase George Carlin...
-"BB"-"Think of just how dumb the average Trump supporter is.
Then realize that 50% of them are stupider than that."
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Yes, I know, "their", "his" and "our" are not pronouns, but possessive adjectives. And without checking, I'm sure that several occurrences of "this", "that" and "those" were also demonstrative adjectives.
And predictably there was the litany of replies along the lines of "everyone knows that what she really meant to say was (insert something bearing absolutely no resemblance to what she actually said)".

If I'm ever asked to state "my pronouns", I'm going to say "thou" and "thee". 

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

So funny, I was reading this and thinking ‘but why?’ then I opened the CNN homepage and the headline informed me.
HELL FUCKING YEAH!! Throw all the ketchup you want in prison, Donnie - please oh please oh please!

And now Wright has followed it up with:
