The Bible is a complex and multifaceted book, but it is important to be aware of the offensive and harmful verses that it contains. These verses can be used to justify violence, oppression, and discrimination. It is important to read the Bible critically and to be aware of the historical and cultural context in which it was written.

We should also be mindful of the ways in which the Bible can be misinterpreted and used to justify harmful beliefs and behaviors. It is important to remember that the Bible is not a monolithic text, and there is a wide range of interpretations of its teachings...

On Greed and Compassion

By: WILL " TAKE NO PRISONERS " HART I quite resent this notion that the American people are somehow a greedy lot, and that they're only concerned about themselves. It certainly doesn't mesh with the world that I see and it doesn't mesh the data, either. According to the Charitable Aid Foundation, the United States is THE most generous country on the planet (65% of its citizens donate money, 43% donate personal time, and 73% help out strangers). And to think that this type of charity would somehow shrink up if in fact the government did decide to cut back a little is both ridiculous AND insulting..............................................................................................I also deeply resent the demonization of wealth and achievement in this society. It was, folks, the industrialists and business visionaries of the United States who truly made it the great place in which literally every frigging immigrant on the planet wan...

CNN Poll Showing Tight Race Going Into Debates...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny While Obama is leading in a CNN poll two days before the presidential debates there remains opportunity for Romney to close the gap. Obama's lead is within the margin of error. Understanding polls are at best statistical indicators of public sentiment, and they can be manipulated through the process of weighting, I do not place an abundance of faith in polls. I decided to post these results mostly as a realistic reminder to the euphoria the left seems to be enjoying at the present moment. Polls by ABC News/Washington Post, Politico/George Washington University, and American Research Group indicate a tight race as well. CNN has averaged the results of all four polls as well as a Fox News poll of last week and the results show Obama at 49% and Romney at 46%, again within the margin of error. It is clear Romney still has a window of opportunity if, 1) he handle himself well in the presidential debates and provide...
