Bingo. Well said.

So, the first time I murder someone, the fine won't be too bad.... and you still didn't say how the value of a human life would be calculated... I'm not really sure I'm "aware" how much more "fair" this would be. Perhaps for non-violent crimes.... it would actually make a little more...

What monetary value do you put on a life? Are poor people ok to murder, because it won't take as long to pay it off?

Not necessarily, that's true.

Tell that to the British.... they learned differently. Apparently the Japanese emperor thought differently during WWII as well....:)

That's why I said I would make an exception for military members. People in the military are usually, not always, but usually more mature, or at least more disciplined than the average 18 yr old still living at home, having momma doing all his laundry for him... If an 18 yr old is old enough...

Big difference.... drugs are not protected in our Constitution. They are not an inalienable right. Same way with automobiles, and nearly anything else. You could argue that drugs would be somewhat protected under the "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", but I don't think that...

In general, no. I would make exceptions for members of the military.

I've seen cats sitting about 30 feet apart, meowing at each other, then it usually degrades into growling, and either a fight or retreat.

Well, I'm happy to have astounded you. I was merely stating that because of where the Word says Eden was. .... unless you contend that the Tigris and Euphrates rivers have moved continents on us.. and, yes, before you are astounded again, I DO realize that continets have shifted over the...

No, it didn't bother me. Mary's house is treated as a shrine by the Catholics, of course. But it doesn't bother me. The food was wonderful. The real Mediterranean diet... :LOL: We saw so many things, it's difficult to describe. The old city of Ephesus, the Agora and Acropolis in Athens...

Yes, it was a very humbling experience to see those spots... A picture of the line of people waiting to simply walk through Mary's house, no stopping, no photos... just walk through. The only part that was original was the floor, but they rebuilt the house based on other buildings current to...

We also got to visit the house where Mary lived out the rest of her life, in the hills above Ephesus. Historically, it is said that John established her residence there, to keep her safe from the persecution of the church, before he was banished to Patmos....

She apparently is quoting her own direct prophesies from God. She has indicated that God speaks directly to her in several posts.

off topic a bit, but was meaningful to me... about 3 weeks ago, I was standing on the top of the hill that Paul was on when he preached to the Athenians.... the Areopolis, Mars hill... it's just below the Acropolis there in Athens. Meant a lot to me.

Can you show me a link to that prophecy? Or quote me the scripture/verse... that will be good enough.

Our church just had our annual fun fest in the parking lot... many of the small group folks will set up some type of game for kids to compete in, to "win" candy and goodies.. we get a rather large turnout from the neighborhoods around... they have costume contests, bounce houses, etc...

I'm cueing the "slow clap" gif here.... great speech. Oh, but it's actually "due", not "do".... just sayin.... smh....

Not that I noticed.... he did imply that Big Nose Kate might be the anti-christ, since she encouraged him to continue with his hedonistic lifestyle after the doctor told him to slow it down... I don't recall any other references to Satan, offhand....
