Yet human intelligence has another force, too: the sense of urgency that gives human smarts their drive. Perhaps our intelligence is not just ended by our mortality; to a great degree, it is our mortality.

Then you're free from the jokes being made. I shan't tease someone who's willing to think beyond their religion with regards to politics.

If you did have multiple wives though, I'd be making fun of you.

Because the Pope doesn't represent Christianity.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

That's like saying Slavery is the best, because more people supported it. That argument is shit. And Christianity in of itself is intolerant. The teachings in the bible have people SLAUGHTERING other people who don't agree with their god. Christianity has anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-any other religion words in it as well. If we do not agree with your god, we will be destroyed kinda shit. Etc, etc.

That wasn't an argument up there, that was an assertion.

No, it's not; people are/
