I am old, fat and arthritic, and I laugh about it. I am a Christian. Patty and I have been married 46 years, and boy did I luck out there. We have 3 children and 10 grandchildren. I served in the Corps (there is no Corps but the United States Marine Corps and Chesty Puller was its prophet). I worked as a computer programmer and database administrator.

I read a lot of history. I like to kayak. I like to draw.

I do suffer from original sin. I inherited it from Adam, the father of all men, everywhere, of every race. I have no excuse, and no rescue from that original sin outside of faith in and obedience to Jesus Christ. Within that faith, however, there is no distinction between races, genders or cultures. Galatians: 3 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is [ak]neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you [al]belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise. .

Speaking of Biblical references to nether parts, my friends and I christened this section of 1st Samuel as the 'book of hemorrhoids.' 1st Samuel chapter 5: 1¶And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod. 2When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 3And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. 4And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. 5Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. 6¶But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof. 7And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god 8They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither. 9And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.

TownHall: Tom Cotton, merely a graduate of the Army’s Ranger School.
timon_phocas comments on Jan 25, 2021:
AUDIO: On Hugh Hewitt, former commander of Ranger Regiment slams Salon for attacks on Sen. Tom Cotton. “I don’t know Senator Cotton. I mean, I’ve looked at a lot of his statements. And to your point, to my knowledge, he’s never claimed to have been in the Ranger Regiment, or one of the Ranger battalions. He’s always clearly stated he was in the 101st and the Old Guard. And he was a graduate of the Ranger school. So I think, and this is not the first time it’s come up.” You can be a graduate of the Ranger School and not be a member of the Ranger Regiment. In fact, lots and lots of people are. Plus: ” I think, you know, if you really want to understand this, there’s one Ranger Hall of Fame, and that Ranger Hall of Fame is comprised of two different groups of people – people that served in the Ranger Regiment and the battalions, and people that are Ranger qualified. So clearly, the Rangers who created the Ranger Hall of Fame believe they’re both inside that umbrella.”

A few things about the Marshall Plan. Europe was utterly prostrate after WWII. They had a chicken and egg program. They wanted to grow economically, but they lacked the means. No factories to build products, no rail nets to move raw materials or products, no harbors to ship the products. They had populations that wanted to work, but there was nothing to work at. The only place to buy the capital goods was the US, but they didn't have the money to buy them. The US had a parallel problem. We were making the capital goods but nobody had the money to buy them. The Marshall Plan provided the money and it solved both the US and European problems. Winston Churchill called it "the most unsordid act in history," but there was a whole lot of self interest in the generosity.

Howdy @eschatologyguy, Putin has an interesting back story. He was a latchkey child. His parents worked full time in the KGB. So he spent his afternoons, and sometimes nights, with a Jewish family down the hall from his parent's apartment. As a result, he is free of that broad streak of anti-semitism that runs through Russia. Under Putin, Israel and Russia have a tacit alliance in Syria. Syria is a Russian ally. Israel doesn't attack Russian assets. When Israel attacks Syrian assets that Iran has appropriated, then it warns Russia that it's coming so they can evacuate their personnel. When Israel attacks purely Iranian assets in Syria then they warn the Russians where they will be coming to protect any Russian assets in the area. Russia does not pass this warning on to Iranian forces. It's a strange War going on in Syria.

Science or God. The choice is yours.
timon_phocas comments on Mar 24, 2021:
I think that's a false dichotomy. God created an ordered universe. We can see His handiwork down to the smallest detail of biology or physics. The Bible says God created the universe out of nothing and that the first thing He created was light. The Big Bang theory says the universe came into being in an instant, that light, the fabric of space-time, the rules of physics, and matter sprang into being in that instant. Interestingly enough, Einstein and Chandrasekhar concluded that light was the first thing to spring into existence. They were, in Johannes Kepler's words, thinking God's thoughts after him. Certain scientists and their publicists try to appropriate the prestige of 'capital S' Science for their own selfish ends. Therein lies the issue.

Caspian Report: Ukraine and Russia preparing for a new war [youtu.be]
timon_phocas comments on Apr 23, 2021:
Interesting discussion from the Russian viewpoint. I think the Russians' main reason for wanting Ukraine is demographic. Russia has about 150M people. That's not enough to be a superpower. Ukraine has 50M people. Add those to Russia and you have 200M. Enough to compete as a superpower. This would also secure Russia's western frontiers while it tries to deal with Chinese immigration into Siberia. Siberia is roughly 1.6 times larger than the entire US, with only one tenth the population. It is resource rich and people poor. Chinese are flowing into Siberian like Hispanics are flowing across our southern border.

Arthur Schesenger, famous historian of the sixties and seventies proposed a theory of Countervailing Power. He proposed that any power threatening enough would generate a countervailing alliance to oppose it. He applied this theory to analyse coal companies and unions. I think it's a useful theory in geopolitics. The season of US unipolar dominance generated the China-Russia alliance. The dominance of China in the western Pacific generated the Quad. NATO worked very well. The ABDA (WWII America, British, Dutch, Australia) failed miserably. It remains to be seen whether the Quad works well or not.

"all the coasts thereof" The teacher makes the claim that all tribes of Israel had coastal territory. Zebulon, Issachar, Ephraim, and Simeon had no coastal territory. Reuben & Benjamin bordered the Dead Sea only. Gad, and Naphtali bordered the Sea of Galilee only. East Manasseh bordered the Sea of Galilee only. In the NASB, Matthew 2:16 is translated: "Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem **and in all its environs** Young's Literal version translates Matthew 2:16 as: 16¶Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, **and in all its borders** New King James version translates Matthew 2:16 as: 16¶Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem **and in all its districts** So I think the teacher's conclusion is partly an artifact of King James English and how far today's English has drifted from it.

timon_phocas comments on May 29, 2021:
The Hamas charter quotes the Korean in calling for the extermination of Jews. “The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’” There is no equivalent statement in the Israeli Constitution or Israeli law. As as a matter of fact, at least one Israel political party has been banned from elections for calling for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The last armed fracas was triggered when Arab occupiers of land purchased by Jewish land trusts in 1876 were about to be evicted after 60 years of due process in Israeli courts. Hardly an example of ethnic cleansing. And as for for assertions that Jews are Aryans and Poles are Semites, they are remarkably fact free.

Howdy @KeithThroop, I agree. *Master and Commander* is a masterpiece. It proves they do know how to make great films. And it did great at the box office, too. So the question becomes, why do they continue to make such dreck (and lose money at it)?

Howdy @w0tn0t, The Dems already took the nuclear 'football' from him. Maybe they'll demand the keys to the Treasury next...

I checked it out. The NASB uses 'sons of Israel' and the ESV uses 'sons of God.' So it's not just a digital figment. Chuck Missler said all translations have weaknesses, but the KJV has been around long enough that we recognize most of its weaknesses.

Karl Barth, considered the most profound evangelical theologian of his time, summed up his writings by saying, "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." Simple yet elegant. I look at the universe and see the work of a creator. I look at history and see the same. I look at the Bible see it conforms to what I know about history and science. I am convinced this is correct. Others are not and I do not know why because I do not know their hearts.
Why does everything have to be acronyms?

Howdy Dave, welcome to the asylum! The inmates are friendly. I think we're all looking for something better than, "Trump Sucks! -- Hillary Sucks!" diatribes.
Seeking feedback: can human rights be accurately described as "verbs, not nouns"?

Well, I hate to quote Bill Clinton, but it depends on what the definition of the word "is" is.. ?

Orthodox Judaism separates genders in synagogue services. Observant Orthodox men avoid touching women outside of their immediate family. Ultra Orthodox neighborhoods in New York have signs on sidewalks warning women to behave modestly. And yet nobody is raising a hue and cry about Jewish Orthodox terrorism. I would submit to you that gender separation is not an indicator of violent intent. The doctrine of jihad is.

JBS has a beef plant in Greeley. A lot of Somalis have been settled here and so a lot of Somali women work there. The men don't seem to be able to discipline themselves to eight hour work shifts (the make good OTR drivers, though). There have a lot of stoppages by the Somali women for the same issues listed in the article.
As a fan of Steven Crowder, I saw a change my mind post about, Socialism is Evil -Change my mind.
timon_phocas comments on Mar 30, 2019:
The basic problem with socialism as an overriding organizing principle is that it contradicts human nature. No socialist society has ever been prosperous. From Sparta on, they've all limped along and then foundered. But they all depend on helots to keep themselves afloat.

My mother died from a heroin overdose in March of 1962. I was a few months shy of 8. It was an aberration in 1962. Now it's just another lifestyle choice. See how tolerant we are? Each one of those people sprawled on the street is a catastrophe. It is a life gutted, reduced to a craving, so that some gangster can send bales of cash to cartels in Mexico. And in their wake there are hungry babies and lost, bewildered, hurting children. But see how tolerant we are?
I almost feel a sting of sympathy for Joe Biden these days.
timon_phocas comments on Apr 5, 2019:
It's interesting to see what goes around and comes around. I remember Joe Biden saying his party was taken over by the "hard left" in 1972. He was part of that takeover. Now his party is being taken over by hard socialists. And he's being shoved out.

Imagine that, a legislature passing laws to benefit its own citizens and not illegal aliens. Odd that this should be so odd.
Both Islam and Christianity talk about heaven but.

Islam's vision of heaven is basically the last 60 years of Hugh Hefner's life.
I'm no astronomer but I was reading about the missing mass of galaxies.
timon_phocas comments on Apr 10, 2019:
Astronomers in the first part of the 20th century caught this. It took 100 inch telescopes to get the first photos of galaxies. They counted the stars, estimated their mass and ran the orbital equations. There was no way the orbital masses added up to make sense. So they invented "dark matter." If they added enough dark matter they could get the answer they wanted. There were a couple of problems with dark matter. First, enough dark matter to balance the equations took something like 85% of the matter in the universe. The second problem was radio astronomy. You see, the early astronomers looked at the glass plate negatives. They assumed dark matter was just something that didn't show up on black and white negatives. Then they discovered radio astronomy, and they found out that even clouds of gas at almost absolute zero generate radio waves. So they searched for the dark matter with radio telescopes. And they didn't find it. But dark matter HAD to exist, at least in the minds of astronomers. So they had to assume that dark matter produced no radio waves. So they were proposing an entirely different kind of matter. Their basic theories about the structure of the universe depended on it. And they still do today. Dark matter has not been created in accelerator labratories. It is unlike any other matter in the universe, not emmiting any radiation. But it HAS to exist, so we have spent billions looking for it. I don't think they'll ever find it.
