    There's nothing else to call it, except weaponized incompetence

    I think a division of labor works best. There are certain things I do around the house and things my wife does. Now we do help each other out quite often, but the help is usually not up to the quality as the person who normally does the chore. For example, when I help with the laundry...

    What glue should I use to re-attach the corpus to the crucifix?

    I would suggest using a thick construction type glue, such as Gorilla Glue Multi-Purpose or Construction Adhesive. I wouldn't suggest a thin Super Glue, since it looks like there will be some gaps between the materials and regular Super Glue won't fill them and bond correctly.

    Pro-Palestinian protest blocks Golden Gate Bridge

    I see blocking roads like throwing paint on famous art work. Yes, it gets publicity for the cause, but I believe that is outweighed by the negative impact it has. Even those who might support the cause, may turn against it and those indifferent or unaware of the cause to reject it, since it is...

    What can we agree is improving in this country?

    Let's try something simple and see if it immediately turns into a debate. ;) T.V.'s are cheaper, better and larger than anytime in the past. I was in Walmart today and saw a 55 inch T.V. for only $258.00. (Vizio I think). It even had built in Roku, HTMI ports and fancy remote. That is...

    My Transgender Challenge

    I don't have any answers to your questions. Just a comment that I have always been mystified by gender dysphoria. I'm a male, but I don't internally go around thinking "I'm Male." I'm just me. If I happened to like things culturally attributed to women or had a sexual preference for men, I...

    What is the Philosophy of Art?

    When I think of art I'm normally thinking of Fine Art painting or perhaps a sculpture. Usually what draws me to something is either it shows great technical skill or instills some kind of emotional response within me. The technical side is fairly easy to explain, but the emotional draw can be...

    I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust.

    Very informative article. Thanks for posting. What he says about NPR could probably be said about many news outlets. Almost all of which have "Lost America's Trust.".

    Reading letters

    To answer your question directly, ideally the letter is easy to understand. (Though of course some subject don't lend themselves to real easy explanations.) I try to remember that we are reading translations that may seem a bit strange and harder to understand to us, than to the original...

    My boyfriend’s car broke down

    Praying for you, car troubles are no fun. You might also consider checking wrecking yards for some of the parts.

    If you think that Judas Iscariot will be resurrected to eternal life and wish to wager on it,

    I'm not even really sure what you're talking about, but it sounds like some sort of satanic claim on my soul. You risk nothing and I risk something not yet determined. So no, I don't agree. Let P1 = Tony likes to gamble. Let P0 = No he doesn't, but feels it makes some point with his posts...

    If you think that Judas Iscariot will be resurrected to eternal life and wish to wager on it,

    I'd say P1 = 10; P2=0. Betting on it, doesn't make sense though; since by the time we could collect we wouldn't have any need for money.

    Is atheism such an original thought?

    And this must of been a point that was very important since Psalms 14 says the same thing. Psalms 14 The fool[a] says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if...

    When this war is won

    First I've heard of any of this, but it sounds a bit far fetched to me. Perhaps you or others will have links to sources to back up the claims?

    In My Red Letter Bible, some of Jesus words in Black?

    Just for information; I have a KJV Red Letter Edition published by Cambridge at the University Press. Nothing in Revelation is in Red. Perhaps it is angels and not Jesus who is speaking?
