Just saw this - sorry, Brain, but it looks like it's too late for this year.

So much fighting over religion yet the Bible, Quran, and Cabal or Torah all tell the same story. It's literally the same story, same time, place, characters in history. Some differences like Muslims believe the last prophet was Muhammad, Mormons have their own recent prophet, but a lot of the 'commandments' if you will and the basic messages are the same.

In the modern world, if someone said they were pregnant as a virgin............................................ .....we would tell them to pound sand. But since it happened 2000 years ago when people were idiots, it's still believable.
Actually, I don't think anyone truly believes it, but the idea of a better place than here when you die is appealing. But still utter bullshit.

I'd rather people believe that if they live a good live, they can reach some sort of nirvana in the afterlife, than people believing that they can kill 100 of millions of people to somehow give others nirvana in this world.

Show me where they all say things like this, or anything remotely similar, seriously.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The Gaza **** rockets are weaker than stuff you can buy in Wyoming in the lead up to the 4th of July. There was recently a video of them shooting one off in a kindergarten. Ok, yes they are ******* animals for doing that. But secondly it's a complete joke, they are **** rockets worse than stuff I can buy and shoot off for fun. Trump just said Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Well, awesome because it's also the capital of Palestine. Can we just have a single-state solution already??

am I ever going to get an answer about why Flynn is so important, yet Cheryl Mills is not?

rofl.
“I would just say, Sarah, that journalists make honest mistakes and that doesn’t make them fake news,” Acosta smarmily quipped. Sanders set him straight.
“There’s a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people — something that happens regularly,” Sanders said.

still wondering about Flynn.
A senior Justice Department official demoted last week for concealing his meetings with the men behind the anti-Trump “dossier” had even closer ties to Fusion GPS, the firm responsible for the incendiary document, than have been disclosed, Fox News has confirmed: The official’s wife worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016 election.
Contacted by Fox News, investigators for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) confirmed that Nellie H. Ohr, wife of the demoted official, Bruce G. Ohr, worked for the opposition research firm last year. The precise nature of Mrs. Ohr’s duties – including whether she worked on the dossier – remains unclear but a review of her published works available online reveals Mrs. Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects. HPSCI staff confirmed to Fox News that she was paid by Fusion GPS through the summer and fall of 2016.

today I learned: the louder you scream, the more real your CNN is.
The mainstream media has relied on anonymous sources for numerous stories related to the Trump/Russia narrative.
Said mainstream media outlets have fought to defend their use of anonymous sourcing in this vein, as seen clearly by CNN’s Kate Bolduan literally screaming at a guest who questioned the veracity of said sourcing.
As seen yesterday, however, information provided by anonymous sources can fall apart quite quickly.
Following the release of former FBI Director James Comey’s opening statement yesterday, CNN was forced to correct a story in which it stated – citing anonymous sources – that Comey, during his House Intelligence Committee hearing today, was set to dispute Trump’s claim that he was told he was not under investigation.
When Comey’s statement proved otherwise, the outlet had to add the following embarrassing amendment to its story:C
ORRECTION AND UPDATE: This article was published before Comey released his prepared opening statement. The article and headline have been corrected to reflect that Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he was not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after this story was published.
