I believe what Alf was trying to say is that after you earn $160k they no longer take SS tax off of your paycheck. He is correct. That figure has been going up over the years.

I don’t know a single Christian that believes or has ever been taught that. Not a single one. You need to get out more. I’d love to have you come to church with me sometime. I think you’d be amazed at how different it is from the place you’ve concocted, and the people you think are in there every week.

Your decision to reject Christianity is because you have a couple of kooky friends? And let me guess, you think Al Gore and his melting planet religion are a better level of kooky? Alrighty then….

I have almost zero recollection of anything Joe Biden did while a Senator but I distinctly remember being VERY impressed by him in a long ago forgotten Democratic Primary debate when he proposed gradually raising the retirement age to get in front of the looming Baby Boomer Retirement Tidal Wave. (One of his many runs for the White House.) Alas… His idea fell flat back then and I’m guessing he figured there’s no personal political reward for being honest with the voters, so now we get the new and enriched “What’s in it for me” version of Joe Biden.

These folks have learned literally nothing from the storyline of the Old Testament. It’s honestly both sad and cute. Still, they’ll keep trying to run from Him and God will keep continuing to pursue them.

All of which Senator Biden understood before he evolved into full pander mode.

Now what? The Church of Universal Healthcare?

They only want to control you. They’ll leave everything else alone. 😉

You are a very odd person. But that’s what we love about you!

As opposed to your daily worship of the military industrial complex? Between the two I’ll choose Christianity!

Oh brother. So you instead choose to believe the people were all literate? There are MANY depictions of a colored Jesus. Again, the intent is to make him more relatable.

I was watching an episode of Planet Earth (great photography) the other night and they showed how the Sahara Desert was once home to the world’s largest lake, surrounded by a lush forest. There are still petrified trees there to this day. All of this was long long long time before man invented the internal combustion engine.

There is literally nothing odd about it. When the tradition of stained glass depictions started, the people were generally illiterate, so they could not read the Bible. The statues and stained glass you see in those churches were a way to make the biblical stories more relatable to them. There’s nothing racist whatsoever about it. Geeez!

Now THAT made me laugh. 😂

Who would’ve guessed? Really?

Which of us is fragile? I’d maintain it’s the one whose feelings are hurt by being called a pronoun that matches their actual gender.

Let me see if I understand you. My licensing board sends me a pronoun email clear out of the blue, and you maintain that’s a right wing thing? Okie Dokie

Reminded me of a scene from a Few Good Men where Demi Moore gets the hostile witness to completely reinforce the defense’s point. 😂

Then we agree. Close thread!

Social Security is not socialism. As constructed, it’s actually a Ponzi scheme.

He?

Translation….., now that he’s President he has completely flip flopped on an issue that because of his age will never affect him in an effort to retain power. Fantastic!

Now do Ed Oliver.

And just think…they could’ve used that money to put a roof on the new stadium.

Good thing I drive backwards half the time then! 😉
