The terrible irony of all this is that I'm hard-pressed to find any other issue in human history which has exacted a greater cost in animosity, human life, war, destruction and terror than the issue of faith.  And the vast majority of faiths any more tend to view their god(s) as benevolent.


You're going to accept Christ as the Prince of Peace even if it means my lovingly beating you bloody with my Flail of Divine Caring+2.

You'll need to put a rubber tip on that, and make sure you're not wearing any pants when commiting said beating. New A&D Core Edition 1.456772838 rules, y'know. I don't make 'em up, just spew 'em up to oogling gamers, lusty for women.

So funny!

And sadly, all too true.  If you all will indulge me, I'd like to make a quote from the Bible:
"if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." (1 Cor 13)
Kinda flies in the face of the fire and brimstone and the "vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord" and the "tell me who to smite and they shall be smoten"

It slays me that many of the firebrand Muslim extremist clerics begin everything with "In the name of Allah the merciful" and then proceed to explain, in gory detail, why mercy should not be shown.

*sigh*

That IS a double standard... and I'm certainly in agreement with you on that.  The Federal government should not be commandeering private school facilities for public elections.

I don't understand how they are able to get away with that, if that's what's going on.   :?:

Not really a problem. Most municipalities ask for large landholders or building residents to donate space to hold elections in. Most towns and cities don't have the public space to set up enough polling places, so they ask the community for help.

All sorts of organizations volunteer, parochial schools, private arenas, etc. I hardly think anyone would consider voting in the gym of a Catholic school an unlawful establishment clause violation.

The way he posted that it sounded like the Feds were forcing the private school to let them use their gym... that's what I took issue with.

Yes, latent separation and forced separation are the same, So were the Feds forcing or not?

If they were forcing it, someone would have sued. Without question, the ACLU alone is always watching things like that.
