that is not really going any where, and possibly IS the stereotype of a loser living in his parents basement?? I just thought it was so like him to post this.

I saw him actually kicking his deformed cat, who was on a leach, in his yard. The cat had a bad leg and I was watching them out the window and saw him hold up the leach and kick the cat at the end of it. I yelled out my back door at him to stop that. So yah, I watch whatever he does, and read all his postings on Facebook.

Many of his parables included slavery, which is probably why Europeans supported it for hundreds of years.

The Catholic Church supported slavery in various forms for a long time.

Not that I think that said "God", if he really even exists, was taking sides in the matter. I just find all the "God is on our side" stuff hilarious, especially when in the face of a ton of evidence that he wasn't/isn't.

I don't do god, either. But, getting them to see that god isn't always benevolent always brings up the "free will" thing as a deflection. If you turn it on them to see, "No actually god was on the other guy's side", the free will cause of their failure fall flat.

Richmond, August 27,1861.
Gen. G. T. Beauregard,
Fairfax Court house, Virginia

... This was my favorite. The three colors of red, white, and blue were preserved in it. It avoided the religious objection about the cross .. because it did not stand out so conspicuously as if the cross had been placed upright thus ...

... in the form I proposed, the cross was more heraldic than ecclesiastical, it being the 'saltire' of heraldry, and significant of strength and progress ... The stars ought always to be white, or argent, because they are then blazoned 'proper' (or natural color). Stars .. show better on an azure field than any other. Blue stars on a white field would not be handsome ... The 'white edge' .. to the blue is partly a necessity to prevent what is called .. a solecism in heraldry ... It would not do to put a blue cross .. on a red field. Hence the white, being metal argent, is put on the red, and the blue put on the white. The introduction of white between the blue and red, adds .. to the brilliancy of the colors ...
