    So is pride in sexual preferences, yet we have the parades every year.

    We need a nationwide positive goal that's not related to politics

    Well, lots of people will lose their weight. That’s a positive thing, right?

    There's no real evidence for any views.
    I just believe the testimony of Jesus.

    Beliefs are not usually determined by polls or majority votes but that's up to you.

    I have no problem with being born white, male, and entitled.

    The advantages all of that provided me has been greatly appreciated.

    Thus, I have done my best to make those advantages available systemically to those who are not white, male, or entitled.

    Sure, there is. Evidence for a personal god is entirely lacking while the origins of the universe, including singularity, is not inconsistent with the thought of a guiding intelligence.
    Why? The Book is obviously wrong about a number of things unless you conclude God is playing tricks on us. Why would we have consistent evidence for evolution that contradicts the Biblical narrative about our origins? God would have had to go to a lot of work to create the appearance of something that isn't.

    I don't think his relatives were dupes. My appearance on this earth followed the great war where his relative lost his (or her) life. I am grateful for his relative passing on this country intact and wish that he had not be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice.

    WW2 was this country's finest hour. The world would likely be a much worse place without this country's involvement in the war.

    Some women just get this way.

    My ex wife started looking around the world and seeing every injustice, and everything she didn't like, personalizing it, and then pouring out all of this manufactured misery, constantly. Some people just WANT to be miserable.

    Hope she stays away from any assault weapons. It seems that when some people have no problems in their lives they go looking for them.
