Having an uncircumcised penis is like having a shar-pei. If you don't wash it thoroughly and properly it's prone to fungal infections. Ye ancient Jews just saw a problem, found the solution and then made it religious law to get everyone to do it.

72 Luke is the only Gospel writer who mentions the circumcision in chapter 2, verse 21. "On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived."

It was one sentence, written by the first century doctor, likely related to him by Mary, mother of Jesus. But she didn't mention any hootenanny of angels going on.

122 Art related. I just heard of the Zorn palette, named for Anders Zorn, a Swedish painter in oils of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He typically used only yellow ochre, cadmium red, titanium white and ivory black as his whole palette. From what little I've seen, the results from such limited colors are fascinating. I hope to know more by the hobby thread this Saturday.

129 There is no painter like Rubens. He is, I think, the best at addressing grand themes in his work. His painting of the fallen angels tumbling into the Abyss is at once both terrifying and incredibly, impossibly beautiful. He's also considered one of the most technically proficient of the great masters. His oils are never fugitive. They just become even more subtle over time. Unlike, say, Reynolds, whose portraits would start to crack and peel almost as soon as the work was delivered to the client. Don't even get me started on Pollack.

I read a story about Dax Shepard, an actor, making a trans-activist cry. Shepard is married to Kristen Bell and they're both very openly liberal. Think they even talked about not getting married until gay marriage was legalized. Anywhooo...

Dax made him cry by simply stating that anything short of 100% agreement with the trans/gay agenda makes you an enemy. The activist said he was exhausted about fighting over everything and was saddened that Dax would feel there was anything to even debate.

So basically, Dax was right and laws such as this will be applied...wait for it...quite liberally.

So let's go through this, taking all three statements as related.

Biden is good and right and responsible.
Therefore Biden's dog is good and right, because otherwise it would mean Biden is irresponsible, which we know is not true.
Therefore, if the dog bites people, the dog is being baited or abused.
If the dog is being baited or abused, it is to make Biden look bad and therefore is being done by petty enemies of Biden who hate both Biden and animals.
Since the Secret Service both has access to Biden (and therefore the dog) and is also of questionably loyalty if not outright disloyal, the logical conclusion is that renegade Secret Service agents are deliberately riling up the dog so as to create incidents that are embarrassing for Biden.

11% additional tax on sales of ammo

"new law prohibits people from carrying guns in 26 places, such as public parks, public demonstrations and gatherings, amusement parks, churches, banks, zoos and 'any other privately owned commercial establishment that is open to the public'."

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at September 27, 2023 10:41 AM (ynpvh)

236 And let's not forget the circumcision debate by early Christians about how much Jewish law to retain. [Not that I'm a scholar about that in any way.]

Where there is misunderstanding and debate in theology, for the Christian it is probably wisest to look to how Christ, himself, addressed such issues.

Keep in mind the Jewish leaders often attempted to use the laws to condemn Jesus and His disciples. Consider the picking of wheat on the Sabbath.

Misapplication and misinterpretation are often wielded as weapons for desires other than reconciling the Father's people to him.

Jesus didn't remove the law, He doubled down on it. He said if you have looked in lust, you have committed adultery. If you have hated, you have committed murder in your heart. These statements are to help us understand that not one of us is keeping in the law in the desires of our heart, we are sinners and our hearts desire sin, lest we be tempted to rely on our actions for salvation rather than the cross.

They already have them. They're illegal and you can blow them if you want and it pisses them off, but they're there.

CA does border control on the highways to ensure you're not bringing in any fruits or vegetables (ostensibly to protect their agricultural sector) and they ask about firearms, but I dunno what happens if you say yes.

It's a way of life in NYS. Most of NYS is within easy driving distance of another state or an Indian reservation.

When I was in college, some enterprising chaps would take cigarette orders and make a weekend run to the Res to buy smokes. They pocketed a modest profit and everyone saved money. Sure, it was illegal but whatever. The odds of getting caught with a trunk full of cartons of cigarettes were pretty slim.

He goes on to say, "The data proves they save lives: California’s gun death rate is 43% lower than the rest of the nation." This is bullshit; Kali has one of the HIGHEST gun death rates in the country. He should also ban air conditioners in summer as more murders happen when air conditioners are on. Sheesh.

It’s also low risk. Patrolling the Luther border involves dealing with Mexican cartels. Essentially a military. Hard work and dangerous. Patrolling rivers bordering Canada is dealing with ramp dudes who want to make a couple of bucks smuggling cigarettes to Canada. Virtually no danger.
