This is an interesting narrative that illustrates the audacity of Paul, who seems not to give a damn about the actual facts because of an ideological interest in leveraging the ignorance and suffering of the peoples toward some new, special status (neo-priest-class) for himself. Of special...

While he was always at odds with those who were the most well-versed in their "scriptures" (the priests, Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes and lawyers), that was not ultimately the reason he was crucified. Jesus was crucified on the sole initiative of the local Roman governor, Pilate, who wished to...

li·a·bil·i·ty noun a person or thing whose presence or behavior is likely to cause embarrassment or put one at a disadvantage. Probably the number one intra-biblical evidence of it's liability is Jesus' own opinion about the predominant Jewish (or priest-class) genesis narrative of his...

If the concept of fractals is valid, you should be able to backtest (if the test has integrity as described above) on shorter time frames, being aware of how times of day might affect your outcomes. You would make a compensation on slippage and spread (or commission) to mimic your longer term...

Only if the testing is unable to exactly consider each and every detail of live trading. For example, testing may not be able to approximate the integrity and honesty of a broker. If the data is clean, if the spread can be approximated, if slippage can be approximated, then testing can be...

Only reason I ask is we need to know how many racists are in this forum. Meanwhile here's a YouTube of a family in a Mississippi trailer park that is teaching their daughter to count how many racists are in a typical family in the trailer park Clue: The mother is a racist. The father is a...

Last time i expounded on the subject i suggested everyone has their own definition. Seems you agree? I was just hoping you could explain it so we can legislate laws against it. We need to legislate against it, if it's as bad as you say it is. It's so bad, we should know exactly what it is...

Oh ok. If you can't explain it here's some more humor to ponder.

Who is "they" and what does the constitution say about this?

Ok, define the better understanding. It should be easy because it's better understood now.

The main difference is Obama was a lame duck at the time. Unelectable. Trump is electable, and must face the people, very soon, with how they feel about his selection. He could lose the election based on his selection. So he has skin in the game. Obama did not.

The terms racist or racism have lost a lot of meaning lately, having been overused against people who are not, or who do not consider themselves racist. So, please give two or three examples of what meets your definition. Meanwhile, something to ponder:

Having a position in the market with skin in the game can accelerate learning, according to Anton Kriel, who also said, "Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Give a man a fishing pole he will probably have no f53king idea what to do with it." As with the market, there are only two positions you...

Carpentry, contracting in carpentry, and now custom carpentry and handyman type things working directly with homeowner clients via word of mouth. No employees. About 25 hours a week, 30 max. A very simple and low pressure approach to terrestrial survival and maintenance. I've never been a pro...

When talking about the intelligent designer it's better to call it "ego" rather than confuse it with a Being that is actually Good. A Good Being does not design faces, facial characteristics, or any other body parts. But an ego would, and because an ego takes its power from what is Good, it...

Could be. Colonies were a way of shipping out the dregs of society. England offloaded a lot on (the penal colony of) Australia and more than a few on America, sometimes as indentured servants for a period of time. Even today there is not complete harmony amongst the blacks given two basic...

I'm quite sure the post office can deliver all the ballots in reasonable time as is claimed by the postmaster himself . What they can't ever do is verify the authenticity of the ballots they deliver! Who the hell are the ballots being mailed to? Who the hell is mailing them back? Outside of...

Interesting point. They fly freely from state to state to do business (dribble, run, ect) without having to get a business licence in each state or a passport for each state. This could be due to the national makeup of the states under one flag. They also play in the most meritorious...

Here's a song I like about the beginning (leave home) and the end (go back home) of the so-called "world" (of man).

I do have some information from the last couple decades very close to the source. From that info yes, Jesus had at least one blood brother, James, whom many assumed would be first in line to carry on Jesus' message. But Jesus was closer to Thomas who was a little more open minded. "Didymus"...
