Read from One News Now:
Napolean and the gay Somoans
Sandy Rios
"CAUTION: This column contains terms that some may find offensive.
'If education were a product we would be suing,' wrote the mother of a 2010 high school graduate. Her e-mail was so eloquent, it warrants no editing:
'Today I asked my son what country Napoleon was from. He said Rome.
He just finished 12 years of public schooling in what has been called one of the top high schools in the nation. Although he's not a bookworm, he is a decent student. He has better than a B average.
He doesn't know which country Napoleon was from -- let alone what he did. I don't think he was sick that day.
On the other hand, I'm going through his Social Study papers and see that he did learn that homosexual men in Samoa may perpetuate gay genes by being good uncles...
Twelve years. If education were a product we would be suing.'
But the suit would likely be lost. Reason left the classroom and the courts long ago. And homosexual apologetics have been promoted so aggressively through the National Education Association, that faculty or staff dare not express an objection. Public school hallways display rainbows and trumpet Gay Pride and Days of Silence, while renderings of the Ten Commandments are forbidden. In Deerfield, Illinois, a required freshman orientation class features gay, straight, lesbian and bi-sexual students telling 14 year olds the ins and outs of homosexual sex with their young audience strictly forbidden to tell their parents. In schools across the nation homosexuality is taught in every discipline from the use of math word problems related to same-gender sex to the science of non-existent gay genes to history claiming Abraham Lincoln had a love affair with his law partner, Billy Herndon.
In Mississippi an entire prom was cancelled because a lesbian student was not allowed to bring her girlfriend. And in that rare case where homosexual students aren't allowed to bring their partners to proms, local houses of worship are hosting gay proms in church basements.
Massachusetts, Vermont, and California have blazed the trail on these matters...providing co-ed bathrooms in schools and allowing students even in some grade schools to alter their gender if so led.
After the legalization of civil unions in Vermont, Outright Vermont, a homosexual advocacy organization, hosted a weekend seminar funded by tax dollars that taught middle schoolers about a violent homosexual act called 'fisting' and girls how to remove healthy breasts if they preferred to be boys...complete with photos and live demonstrations.
In California, a group called 'Gender Spectrum' recently sent out a flyer to announce a conference to students 13-18:
'Come join other transgender, gender bending, gender noncomforming teens, children and families for three days of celebrating individuality, making new friends and having fun. Meet other trans and gender nonconforming teens and adults, hang out, and explore different topics on gender: school, making friends, dat
Montana has joined the gay chorus...with a newly proposed sex curriculum to begin in kindergarten so that little Montanans can know about all the ways to have sex with anyone in any combination. Then-State Senator Barack Obama advocated the same in Illinois, but was defeated.
It IS that bad. And deny it all they want, parents are beginning to realize what the concerned mom above discovered in despair: Children aren't learning how to read, spell or punctuate. They don't know the nation's history...its leaders or its constitution...nor anything about the God of their fathers, but they do know about homosexual sex.
And when they get to college, there will be no one to tell them otherwise. Consider the case of University of Illinois professor Ken Howell who was just fired after nine years of teaching 'Introduction to Catholicism' for writing an e-mail to students explaining that Catholic teaching on homosexuality derives itself from moral law. A student forwarded the e-mail to the head of the Religion Department and Howell was removed from the faculty for 'violating university standards of inclusivity.' A Catholic fired for actually believing and teaching Catholic doctrine on homosexuality in a class on Catholicism.
So what are we to do? Get tough. Take a stand. Make the hard choices. Speak up and take your licks. The sexual anarchists are free to practice their anarchy, but they cannot have our kids. Any government that promotes or says they can and bars parents from their rightful influence must be opposed fiercely.
Fellow angry citizens: Let's get busy. Let's move our kids to private schools...private cooperatives...homeschool them. The public school must either clean up its act or risk losing its power. The radicalism in Provincetown, Massachusetts, for example, has resulted in such a reduced student population, they are closing their high school doors. Good.
We send our children to school to learn the great disciplines of English, history, math, and science...presented factually and diligently. We don't send them to be turned over to sexual activists willing to sacrifice their young minds to achieve their own narrow agenda.
Away with the gay Samoans and up with Napoleon!"
Obviously, the "purveyor of perversion" Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings has been one busy beaver.

Why would any real Americans expose their children to these indoctrination centers to learn the finer points of socialism, marxism, communism and to force children to accept the thumbsucking leftwingloons perverse homosexual lifestyle as being normal?

It's pretty obvious that you haven't seen the inside of a public school -- ANY school, for that matter -- in a long time, Ms. MoreLies, if you believe any of that crap. You've woven bits and pieces of odd/questionable practices in schools all over the country, and you're playing it as if all of this is the standard curriculum in every school nationwide. They're the exception, not the rule.
I've not once seen Satan wandering the hallways of my school. There are a few kids that I wonder about, sometimes, but I doubt they're the Devil in disguise... just teenagers.
I love how Sonny is dumber than dirt, not knowing where Napoleon is from, and suddenly it's all the school's fault! Why did Mom wait until AFTER her dolt graduated to get interested in his education?
As for the Samoans, odds are that Sonny took an elective course in Sociology, Anthropology, or Psychology... in which case the information is probably pertinent. - July 20, 2010 at 6:58 AM
- Debra Moore said...
I agree, Diogenes, these practices probably are the exception. Nevertheless, they are occurring. And how do parents know which schools participate in this type of behavior?
- July 20, 2010 at 10:47 AM
- Diogenes said...
Gee, I don't know.... pay attention? Talk to their kids? Get involved with the PTA? Question their teachers? If the parents of my students WANT to know what goes on in my classroom, there are myriad ways to find out.
STAY INVOLVED... instead of kidding yourself into believing that you can teach your kids everything they need to know. Homeschooling may work with young elementary age kids, but not high schoolers. No one individual can open up a kid's mind to all the intricacies of all subjects (math, science, Englis, history, foreign language, music, art) by the time they're HS age. - July 20, 2010 at 2:44 PM
DiogenASS: Satan in the hallway's is the unions, with their influence over what our children are being taught and to force our children to accept homosexuality, secularism and liberalism as normal.
do away with the unions and the outside political influences will cease to exist.
the unions have gone from protecting the workers rights to influencing our political elections and pushing a leftwing homosexual agenda in our public schools. - July 22, 2010 at 12:19 PM
- Diogenes said...
Meaningless rhetoric, AnonyMouse, repeated by someone who hasn't seen the inside of a school in decades. Teachers unions have next to no influence on curriculum. That urban myth deserves a spot on the "lie" shelf right next to JustaDumbass' "welfare queen" fairy tale.
What I choose to do with MY money is my business, not yours. If I choose to support certain political candidates and not others, that's MY prerogative,
You think teachers unions are the only contributors to political campaigns? Take a look at the corporate dollars that have poured into candidate coffers, most of it to rightwingnut causes. The only reason you're steamed over union contributions is that unions (and individual union members) supported Obama quite well in 2008, and he got elected. Boo frickin' hoo for you, AnonyMouse. Open up your fat wallet, get off your fat ass, and actually DO something, if you don't like what's going on now.
And the idea that teachers unions promote homosexuality is just silliness. Are there GLBT caucuses within teachers unions? Yep. But most teachers don't promote homosexuality, they promote "TOLERANCE". Look it up sometime; it's a concept you might benefit from, someday. - July 22, 2010 at 2:08 PM
DiogenASS: Unions gave $400 million to Obama and the Democrats in the 2008 campaign cycle, and expect to get something in return.
Isn't that called a bribe?
bribe: verb, bribed, brib·ing.–noun
1. money or any other valuable consideration given or promised with a view to corrupting the behavior of a person, esp. in that person's performance as an athlete, public official, etc.: The motorist offered the arresting officer a bribe to let him go.
2. anything given or serving to persuade or induce.
3. to give or promise a bribe to: They bribed the reporter to forget about what he had seen.
4. to influence or corrupt by a bribe: The judge was too honest to be bribed.
I see what you mean by corporate dollars that have poured into candidate coffers.

And John McCain ran his campaign with loose change that he found between the cushions of rightwingnuts' couches? try being honest for once, AnonyMouse.
Some people may have contributed to Obama's (or McCain's) cause because they expected something in return. I know I did: I contributed to, and worked as a volunteer for, Obama's campaign because I expected something in return: a President who I wasn't ashamed of whenever he opened his mouth. A President who MIGHT do things a little differently than his immediate predecessor. A President who might not lie us into a war that caused the death or maiming of thousands of American kids, and tens of thousands of innocent foreigners.
Yeah, I expected something from my contributions. But it wasn't a bribe in any sense of the word.
You also, obviously, missed thhe bright red print at the Open Secrets website, that "the organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families." So any monies I donated to Obama were technically credited towards my school district employer.
Wow, look at John McCain's list. I guess it wasn't loose change from couches, after all:
Merrill Lynch $373,595
Citigroup Inc $322,051
Morgan Stanley $273,452
Goldman Sachs $230,095
JPMorgan Chase $228,107

Greenberg Traurig LLP $146,437
US Dept of Defense $144,105
FedEx Corp $131,974
Bear Stearns $117,498
Lehman Brothers $114,357
Are you seriously suggesting that the U.S. Government, the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Dept. of Defense were trying to bribe John McCain?
The only thing McCain supporters can rightfully complain about is that many more people contributed greater sums to Obama than McCain could squeeze out of his supporters. But that should be expected; guys like you sit on their fat wallets on their fat asses in most election cycles.
Prove me wrong, AnonyMouse: DO SOMETHING. As much as I want candidates like Obama to be elected, I want more people to get involved in the process even more. Get engaged! It'll make it all the sweeter when we beat you like a drum. - July 23, 2010 at 3:23 PM
DiotgenASS: I'm afraid your wasted you time and money on your messiah Øbama.
Øbama has a birthday party coming up, but who really knows if it's his birthday or not, there's no documentation to prove it, so if he says it's his birthday, I suppose American's have to take his word for it.
didn't he say he was a lawyer?
I don't think hearsay evidence is admissible in the court of law or in public opinion.
You can go to the party for $30,000 diogenes, have you got a few grand laying around for the cause? - July 24, 2010 at 4:56 AM
- Diogenes said...
Oh, another lie from AnonyMouse. This is going to get really boring, moron, if you decide to recycle all your debuned birther claims.
There certainly is documentation to prove Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. The state issued a Certification of Live Birth stating such, and at the bottom it states "This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding." That means it's NOT hearsay, AnonyMouse; it just means that you don't want to accept the obvious truth, even when it's plastered in front of you.
And no, of course not, Obama didn't personally show me this birth certificate. However, just to try to assuage you birthers, his campaign office did have independent third parties come in to examine the document, and they did have the appropriate Hawaiian authorities vouch for its authenticity. But since they didn't knock on your front door and let you witness all this, you claim it's a lie. BS, AnonyMouse: you're not even close to being that important.
As for my time and energy being wasted on Obama, I disagree; he's accomplished a lot already, in less than 2 years.I look forward to what else he can get done in the next 6 years. Obama isn't my messiah; he's merely my candidate of choice. And no, I don't have $30,000 lying around doing nothing... I'm a lowly school teacher. I don't have $300 lying arounddoing nothing. - July 24, 2010 at 1:09 PM
DiogenASS: there's nothing anyway to substantiate your claims!
Øbama Resume:
Birthplace: Location remains questionable. Proof of United States Citizenship hasn't been
Education: Columbia University, Harvard Law School. Records never produced, attendance
remains questionable.
Military Career: None
Business Career: None
Political Career: Community organizer, Chicago, 1983-86; civil rights attorney, Chicago,
1991-96; University of Chicago, lecturer, early 1990s-2004; Illinois State Senator, 1996-2005;
U.S. Senator, 2005-2008; President 2008-.
you said you were a lawyer, then you should know that hearsay evidence is not admissible in a court of law or in public opinion. - July 24, 2010 at 5:27 PM
- Diogenes said...
If you had lived two thousand years ago, AnonyMouse, you would have been Doubting Thomas. If you had lived six hundred years ago, you would have insisted that the world was flat. How sad for you.
Please don't embarrass yourself any further by discussing things that are clearly beyond your comprehension. What you're describing isn't called hearsay, it's circumstantial evidence. An circumstantial evidence most certainly can, and is, introduced into courtrooms every day. And people get acquitted or convicted with it every day. And even hearsay is admissable, under certain circumstances! So please, don't think you can watch a rerun episode of "Boston Legal" (or, in your case, more likely "Perry Mason") and be a lawyer. You don't have the brain matter to do it, or to even play a lawyer on TV.
If people went to Harvard Law School for three years with Obama and say that they did, and there are Law Review journals with his name all over it... do you really think he needs to produce his transcript to prove he was at the school? And would it prove he was actually at the school, or would it show (in your warped mind) that a whole bunch of Harvard professors conspired to report false grades for a no-show student, just so that student might get elected President of the United States some day?
You're flat-out stupid, as are all the birthers, AnonyMouse, because you're acting like little kids.
No level of proof is good enough for you, because you've convinced yourself that YOU "know" the truth. No matter how many facts are thrown in your face, YOU "know" you're right, and nothing will ever convince you otherwise.
You're a pitiable cretin. The world is passing you by as we speak. - July 25, 2010 at 2:47 PM
DiogenASS: Yea, yea, all the name calling is very entertaining, but even a so-called smart individual like yourself knows that without proof and documentation a resume is worthless and meaningless!
- July 26, 2010 at 4:47 AM

After reading any of your convoluted nonsense, any sensible reader can easily see what's worthless and meaningless, AnonyMouse. You are almost completely clueless!

The gay agenda is in Canada as well, our provincial government "Ontario" tried unsuccessfully last year to bring sex ed and anti homosexual teachings to grade 3 students but thank god the people of this province caused such an uproar the government backed off. I personally don't care what consenting adults do in their bedrooms but that sickness needs to stay away from our children.
- February 23, 2012 at 8:37 PM
Agreed! As a Canadian citizen with children in the Catholic grade schools I will never, ever bow down to the McGuinty homosexual garbage agenda. If this idiot and his followers think they can force this perverse teaching on my children he's got another thing coming. If he thinks he can change God's Word concerning sexual immorality, he's sorely mistaken. I don't HAVE TO accept anything and I certainly will not accept homosexuality as natural. It is an unnatural, wickedly sick lifestyle that we as a traditional, one man/one woman, (married to my first husband for 13 years)family will continue to abhor and speak out against according to God's Word.

You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- The distance a person can see on a clear day is estimated by
- the formula v is equal to 1,225 times the square root of
- a, all of that over 1,000, where v is visibility.
- So that right there is visibility in miles, and a is
- equal to altitude.
- Fair enough.
- Now, they say if Jerome can see for 150 miles-- so that's
- how far he could see; so that is the visibility, that is v--
- about how far above the ground is he?
- So they want to know what the altitude is.
- About how far off the ground is he?
- This is a.
- And this is what we don't know.
- We know that his visibility is 150 miles.
- We want to know what a is.
- So we could look at this formula for visibility as a
- function of altitude here.
- We know what the visibility is.
- It is 150 miles.
- v is 150 miles.
- So we can say that v, or 150 miles, is equal to 1,225 times
- the square root of a-- a is how far above the ground he
- is-- times the square root of a, all of that over 1,000.
- Now we can multiply both sides of this equation.
- We want to isolate this radical here, so that we can
- solve for it.
- What we can do is we can multiply both sides of this
- equation times 1,000 over 1,225.
- Let me scroll to the left a little bit.
- 1,000 over 1,225.
- And the whole point of that is so that we can isolate the
- square root of a.
- This 1,000 cancels with that 1,000.
- That 1,225 cancels with that 1,225.
- And we get-- and I always like to have the variable I'm
- solving for on the left-hand side, so let's put it there.
- So let me just switch sides as well.
- So we get the square root of a is equal to all of this
- business over here, is equal to 1,000 times this 150, all
- of that over 1,225.
- And it looks like there's some simplification
- that we can do here.
- Both of these numbers seem divisible by 25.
- This number up here, 150, that's 25 times 6.
- So let me write this.
- This is 25 times 6.
- And this number right here, what is this?
- This is 25 times-- let's see, 12 times 4 is 48.
- And you're going to have one more.
- 25 times 49, if I'm doing my math right.
- Let me double check that.
- 49 times 25.
- 9 times 5 is 45.
- 4 times 5 is 20, plus 4 is 24.
- Get rid of that, put a 0 here.
- 2 times 9 is 18.
- 2 times 4 is 8, plus 1 is 9.
- We get a 5.
- Get a 12.
- Yep, it's 1,225.
- So this is 25 times 49.
- This is 25 times 6.
- Let me cancel this.
- Cross that out.
- This 25 cancels with that 25.
- And so, does it look-- you know, 49 is 7 times 7.
- So that looks about as simple as we can get it.
- So this is equal to-- we could write it as 6,000 over 49 is
- equal to the square root of a.
- So if we want to solve for a, we can square both sides of
- this equation.
- So let's do that.
- Let me rewrite this.
- So you have the square root of a is equal to 6,000 over 49.
- We want to square both sides of this equation.
- So we square both sides of this equation and we will get
- a, the altitude, that how far above the ground Jerome is, is
- going to be equal to-- well, 6,000 squared over 49 squared.
- Or you could view it as 6,000 divided by 49 squared.
- So let's figure out what that number is just to
- get a sense of things.
- And let me get a calculator out for this one.
- I'll just get a calculator out.
- Let me clear it out.
- All right, so we want to do 6,000 squared divided by 49
- squared, which is equal to 1,400-- or, we'll round up,
- 14,994 feet.
- This is equal to 14,993 feet.
- I'm assuming that this equation is taking our feet,
- our altitude in feet.
- They didn't mention it here, but I'm assuming that in feet,
- because that makes sense.
- If you can see for about 150 miles, it makes sense that
- you're about 15,000 feet in the air.

Which religion should I convert to?
Attn: Yechiel
I know you stand for all that is upright and the freedom to express, and respect all faiths, and you love to blow your own trumpet. Starting every post with how wonderful you are has changed nothing. You keep saying that you post what is in the Tanach as if what you post is the truth, it is not. You want to post the truth then post word for word and chapter and verse of what's in the Tanach, not just what you say the Tanach says. I accuse you of deception and putting your own spin on what the Tanach says. All you have ever done is to say what in your opinion the Tanach is saying and never give chapter or verse, even when asked. You deny scripture and twist it around as saying that it is not referring to Jesus the Christ or the Virgin Birth and then make statements as why you cannot believe in the Christian Faith. Believe what you want, but when giving your opinion on what the Bible is telling you then give chapter and verse for others to sort out for themselves and not to just take your word for it. The Word of God is true, regardless of anyone's view, and when there is a difference of opinions of what faiths believe and there Faith is in the same God then there is room for more discovery of what scripture is telling us. I don't care why you don't believe; I would rather know why you do believe and what you believe regarding Jehovah. I believe in the Jewish doctrines, I also believe in Jesus the Christ, as many Jews do. Telling anyone who truly believes and has their Faith in Jesus the Christ of why you do not believe in their Faith and why it cannot be true is never going to convert them. What I see is that there is much that you have not discovered in the Tanach, because I believe that it is the Word of God and is true. Our Unity with the One God depends on are discover of Him and not just are opinion of our interpretations of what scripture is saying. The closer we become to God the higher and truer our understanding will become. When you speak of Jehovah I'm with you, but when you speak of Jesus the Christ and why you are antichrist I am not.
So the foundation of my Faith remains.
Are you absolutely brain dead that you cannot see or understand anything that I have said? It is not the belief that makes you antichrist. This is not theory, it is fact, and do you not even understand the definition of the word "antichrist?" It's a simple word and has a simple definition. You can't be that stupid, it is simple, it is not rather you believe in Jesus the Christ or not, but what has been repeatedly said, and you still circumvent. I will post it again but I cannot make it anymore simple, and I post it now for others to see just how out of touch you are with what you read. This is the third time and yet you still have not been able to comprehend it. You are antichrist "when you make comments regarding Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth as being untrue and with no validity." and let me fellow up again with "You have continuously and openly opposed Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth as being untrue, and with a concentrated effort tried to prove it was untrue." This is not concerning your personal beliefs, but your open and clear opposition as to rather Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth are true or not. You keep trying to disprove Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth and this is obviously antichrist.
As for your back door insult as having a persecution complex just shows how desperate you must be to defend the un-defendable. And yes "Being of a different opinion does not mean against; just a different way to see it." You posted a truth and this is my point, and not my theory. I have never said or posted that I do not accept Torah or HaShem and never tried to convince anyone otherwise. My personal beliefs are my own but if I was active in posting against God I would be viewed and witnessed to as anti-God.
You stated that if I carried that view far enough we could not have a common ground, and this I also agree with, and this also is my point. You are carrying your view of Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth and posting them as being untrue, is this not that same common ground that you were speaking of?
While it is truth that there are Christians that do not agree, rather with me or other Christians is irrelevant and goes without saying, for is this not true with every faith? And there are no Christians that do not believe that Jesus the Christ is not divine. You are not a Christian without believing that Jesus the Christ is the Son of God.
And for verification let me say once again that it is not your views that makes you antichrist but your open defiance and opposition to something that makes you anti-?
When three people call you a jackass you might want to get yourself a saddle. Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
It's better to be hated for what you are then loved for what you are not. Hummmmmmmmmm?
And there's no need to call HaShem in the morning, I have a direct line to Him called Jesus the Christ.
I have understood you perfectly. But I refuse to accept the (to me) Jack Ass description of "AntiChrist." I have been brought up in the Judaic tradition that G-d expect us to use our brains, not just follow a concept or person.
Judaism=Study and Learn.
Christianity = Follow by Faith.
Islam = Submit.
In study, I run across many who agree and disagree with me. Which do I prefer? If with common sense and respect, disagree, so I have even more of an opportunity to learn.
So as such, you Anti-Christ label is worthless for anyone who, as me, do not care what faith you claim, just do it. G-d, according to Him, shall bless you if you do.
You have G-d to go to, but as I understand you and most other Christians, you have Jesus between you and G-d. Fine, in the stage of development your culture is at, you may need all the help you can get.
In Judaism, we have G-d, directly. No hemming or hewing around, but I sin (make a mess), I repent (clean up the mess I make). Not even G-d does this for me.
You see, James, you have someone to make the amends for you; in Judaism, I am responsible for my mess, I clean up my mess.
I have answered you as direct as I can, with what YOU gave me to understand. I have done so with respect, humor and as a fellow human being. You come across as not understanding this, with me and others, so maybe you need the saddle?
In all seriousness why do you argue? I have nothing against any faith; I am as far from an anti Christ as the dictionary allows, so can you settle down, and behave in a "Christian" way?
As for being hated for what I am, nothing new, and really, I do not care. I look at what is presented to me honestly, if it fits, I make the proper emends, if not, no skin off of my nose. I answer to G-d, and I have noticed that many over the years have taken exception to this, try to make up reasons why I am wrong. My response is to listen/read, and find what I can to improve myself as a human being.
Those in the real world, where I live and have a good life, I am told that I have and am doing well.
Some of your material has been read by friends; they wonder if you are serious, as I am told that you are not a good example of one who they would look to, to represent their faith.
Mike said as much to me, when he told me - MikeC says:
"Yechiel I think you may just be the best Christian on "Best Religion". I can't believe what I am seeing. "
So you do not have that much room to move. I again remind you of your postings against me, when I posted what that Christian man from the Near East said; is that what Jesus would have done?
You have not understood me at all, you have only understood yourself. You are so full of yourself you cannot accept anything. Self centered and in denial of the obvious. And Judaism and Christianity are both followed by Faith and Discovery and understanding of the Word of God. Also Jesus the Christ is not between us and God but reconciles us with Him and in so doing we have all the help that we can get as you so blindly put it.
And while you are cleaning up your mess you might want to remember that the wages of sin is death. As for the Christian Faith, they have learned to recognize their sins and by accepting forgiveness through Jesus the Christ and repenting and seeking after righteousness they are justified freely by His grace and acquitted of all past guilt that allows us to have contact with God by believing in the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. And this becomes the responsibility of all who believe that Jesus the Christ is the Messiah, for only those that are guiltless can enter the presents of God.
And we are now back to how upright you are according to you, and how I don't understand how upright you are according to you and others, you find need to imply that others support you in rather I think you are upright or not.
I argue regarding this issue because of your total denial of the obvious, the definition of the word antichrist is clear, what you have written in the past regarding Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth is clear. And yet you say "I am as far from an antichrist as the dictionary allows." Not sure what that means but you are right on to what the dictionary definition of what antichrist means, there is no dispute, it could not be anymore clear. Stop speaking, writing against Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth as being untrue and no one could witness to you as being antichrist, but when in open opposition to Jesus the Christ as the Messiah and the Virgin Birth you are distinguishing yourself as antichrist.
You said some have called you "Jesus like" and my response was "It is better to be hated for what you are then to be loved for what you are not." I did not say you were hated for what you are. I was being fatuous regarding your comment.
Your comment "Some of your material has been read by friends; they wonder if you are serious, as I am told that you are not a good example of one who they would look to, to represent their faith." I suspect that this is a bold face lie and very transparent and even on the silly scale. But when you can't hurt one with the truth you try and hurt them with lies.
Dear Jameslee;
You suppose, and the suppose is your truth. Why are you copying me as AC copies everyone? Why are you so concern as to how I state my answers to what other persons try to convince me of? Over the years, your type of comments have been part of the arsenal of those who were determined to convince me of their theology, and when I share with friends what has been told me, the reaction varies from a shrug and they are silly, to being told how unchristian they are. So it is with you, as you come across as a bully, not one who wants to have a discussion.
The theology Jesus is based on is what Judaism teaches, and there, I am very pro-Jesus. I do not agree with everything he said, but why should I? We are two different individuals, from two different time periods.
The "Jesus" I do not agree with is the third century version, where your Church Fathers crucified the faith by changing it to the form it is now. I learned this through my studies as I responded to questions discussions like ours brought up, or linked to my readings or conversations.
I have a great deal of empathy for the Christians who suffered by the hand of the newer churches, as they were declared heretics and suffered for it. I am happy to see millions of Christians, today, taking a close study of their history and returning to the truths of Jesus' teachings.
As for your complaints of what I say about virgin births and demigods/godsons? I am not chastising your faith, just relating what HaShem has to say to us, and why His Word to us, through His Prophets as well as the two comments He made directly to our nation at Sinai, makes it clear that your theology is not ours.
I would not have if I had not been attacked so often for being a Jew and the attacker calling G-d Satan, etc. You shared how you feel about being told, which I am not trying to tell you, about how I see Jesus, or your perception of same. Multiply this a couple of times, as my responses only provoked the evil one to more vile words against my faith.
Also, You getting upset by "implications" of mine, which you have failed to identify, and being "fatuous"? Sometimes a more correct response would help. You are going to say you have been clear; I say OK, we are both from the same generation, so there should have been little space in our understanding each other. But James, you have blinded yourself with your negativity about what I say.
I invite all to take a close look at the articles I post. You may not like what they say, but they are the truth of what G-d said, and this is what I have been successful in doing. I feel that, with the bigotry I have suffered on this blog, as well as the stiff nakedness of some in refusing honest conversation on our faiths, I am doing a holy work, here.
It is better to be hated for saying what G-d says, then loved for agreeing with what man believes.
Rocmike under its many aliases never uses facts. It makes things up and tries to pass them off as facts. It believes everyone is as stupid as it is and will believe them.
I don't copy you as you say AC copies everyone. I quote you word for word when I do quote you, and then make my comment so all can see. I am only concerned with how you state your answers and comments when they imply that which is not there or true and are misleading and addressed to me and not what others try and convince you of, that is between you and them.
It's like this, you state "Over the years, your type of comments have been part of the arsenal of those who were determined to convince me of their theology, and when I share with friends what has been told me, the reaction varies from a shrug and they are silly, to being told how unchristian they are." Like I have an arsenal and I am out to convince you of my theology, you imply it but it never happened. And it is the same with the rest of the above comment, you try to tie it to me and it never happened. But you regress, for what does any of this have to do with anything we have been posting about. Just another why to misdirect and vilify me.
I am defending my Lord and Savior and I am doing so very strongly in order to get my point across. As for having a discussion do we not first need to be on that common ground that you have mentioned? To discuss why Jehovah or Mosses is untrue or why Jesus the Christ and the Virgin Birth is untrue is not common ground. To discuss your positive views and my positive view regarding our faiths is.
Regarding your comment "The "Jesus" I do not agree with is the third century version, where your Church Fathers crucified the faith by changing it to the form it is now." Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Christ, not Jesus the Christ of the third century or Jesus the Christ of yesterday or tomorrow. He is Jesus the Christ, yesterday, today, and always, He is the Word of God. As to your comment regarding the crucifixion of the Christian Faith to the form that it is now is way out of line. The Christian Faith is still being formed and will continue to be formed and always for the better, constantly being rediscovered. Out of curiosity, what did Jesus say that you do not agree with?
No you are not chastising the Christian Faith when you say that Jesus the Christ is not the Messiah or that the Virgin Birth is untrue, you are degrading the foundation of the Christian Faith. Also you are not relating what HaShem has to say to you and why His Word to you through His Prophets or what was directed to your nation at Sinai, you are giving your opinion and your spin on the Word of God. Give chapter and verse for others to look so they can decide for themselves.
The attacks on you for being a Jew and your Faith is one thing but demeaning the foundation of the Christian Faith is another. And let me be clear, when you try and prove that Jesus the Christ is not the Messiah and that the Virgin Birth is false, you are attacking and demeaning the Christian Faith. I have not attacked you for being a Jew or because of your beliefs; my reason for aggression is simple and has been made very comprehensible.
I am not blinded any negativity, I am seeing negativity and responding to it. I agree that all should read your post and determine for themselves as to it being what God said or you spin on what God said.
Nice to see you have taken my catch phrase and used it in another positive way. And wouldn't it also be nice to say what God says without adding what man says?
Dear James;
Let us agree then that to Torah Centered and observant Jews, Christianity is not part of our thinking, except as for history. We have the Theology of the Tanach we go by, with the wisdom of our sages over the centuries, starting with Sinai. We live and believe according to what we read and learn from this.
As you know, the Christian leadership used a version of the Septuagint for much of their information, or just had the Torah as not part of their works. So we have developed different, as you put it, being formed. True, and i have read many articles and posts where Christians are taking a serious look at the history, and we are finding more common ground.
What I post is what Believers believe, who are Jewish. There are veriations, as to Orthodox, Concervative, Reform, but any item one may have is to some degree shared by others, or historical on context. I post NOT my views, but the ideas and beliefs of the Jewish people in general, with the veriations understood. On the articles i have and shall post, read the verses, use one of our websites to find a Jewish Bible, learn Hebrew if you can, and then make up your own minds.
Remember, James; just because i do ot accept your view does not make me an adversary, so you do not have to one to me.
We are going round robin. Enough already, si.
Your last post sounds sincere with substance and reflects a great degree of understanding. And you are correct when you say different views do not make you an adversary. Takes more then just views to make one and adversary, it is the action taken regarding the views that causes one to express opposition, we can always express our views without being an antagonist.
Nothing wrong with humbling ourselves, our God saw it coming.
Thank you.
Dear Friends;
There was a discussion on what Jesus was, as for Jewish or not.
Here is one item from the Church that may help to give information for the study of the items and the relationship to history.
>>> Nostra Aetate confirmed that Christ, his mother and the apostles were Jews, and that the church had its origin in the Old Testament. It denied that the Jews may be held collectively responsible for Jesus Christ's death, and decried all forms of hatred, including anti-Semitism. Citing the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans, Nostra Aetate called the Jews "most beloved" by God. These words seem commonsensical today, but they staged a revolution in Catholic teaching.<<<
Maybe this note from the Church may help in healing, as well.

Comments about NRS Packraft:
On this boat's maiden voyage on a small, swiftwater stream a tube was punctured within 10 minutes and a valve leaked. The other packraft, not an NRS, had no problem. On its second trip on a rocky creek the floor sustained a 6-inch tear. Three other packrafts, not NRS, were unscathed. The lack of durability and lack of sprayskirt are serious drawbacks for wilderness trips. This product is suitable for pools and lakes, period.

Lao Tzu says:
When man is born, he is tender and weak; at death, he is hard and stiff. When things and plants are alive, they are soft and supple; when they are dead, they are brittle and dry. Therefore hardness and stiffness are the companions of death, and softness and gentleness are the companions of life.Therefore when an army is headstrong, it will lose in battle. When a tree is hard, it will be cut down. The big and strong belong underneath. The gentle and weak belong at the top.
Life is a river, a flow, a continuum, with no beginning and no end. It is not going somewhere, it is always here. It is not going from somewhere to somewhere else, it is always coming from here to here. The only time for life is now, and the only place is here.
There is no struggle to reach, there is nothing to reach. There is no struggle to conquer, there is nothing to conquer. There is no effort to protect, because there is nothing to be protected from. Only life exists, alone, absolutely alone, beautiful in its aloneness, majestic in its aloneness.
You can live life in two ways: you can flow with it – then you are also majestic, you have a grace, grace of non-violence, no conflict, no struggle, then you have a beauty, childlike, flower-like, soft, delicate, uncorrupted. If you flow with life you are religious. That's what religion means to Lao Tzu – or to me.
Ordinarily religion means a fight with Life – for God. Ordinarily it means: God is the goal, life has to be denied – and fought; life has to be sacrificed and God has to be achieved. This ordinary religion is no religion. This ordinary religion is just part of the ordinary violent aggressive mind.
There is no God beyond life; life is God. If you deny life you deny God, if you sacrifice life you sacrifice God. In all the sacrifices, only God is sacrificed.
Gurdjieff used to say – it looks paradoxical but it is true – that all religions are against God.
If life is God, then to deny, to renounce, to sacrifice, is to go against God.
But it seems Gurdjieff did not know much about Lao Tzu. Or even if he had known about Lao Tzu he would have said the same thing, because Lao Tzu does not seem to be ordinarily religious. He is more like a poet, a musician, an artist, a creator, rather than like a theologian, a priest, a preacher, philosopher He is so ordinary that you cannot think that he is religious. But really to be religious is to be so extraordinarily ordinary in life that the part is not against the whole, but the part is flowing with the whole.

Specially formulated for dogs, Kong Stuff'N should be applied to the inside surface of Kong toys or along the grooves of Kong Dental toys.
Great when used with Kongs Dental Sticks or the Kong Stuff a Ball! Peanut Butter Flavored Paste is vitamin enriched and promotes healthy skin and coat for your dog.
(8 oz = 45 1 tsp servings) Suggested serving size is one teaspoon.
Contains no peanut oil. The delicious flavor of Kong Stuff'n Paste is concentrated so a little goes a long way. Made in the USA.
- Lickity Licious! Review by Queen Caramel
Your Rating Catfeesh, my 1 year old Rat Terrier, simply LOVES this! He licks around his mouth for about 5 minutes after all of it is gone from his toy. I primarily use this as a treat when I clip his nails. It helps to keep him calm and pretty still as he focuses on his next lick of peanut butter stuff'n! I'm going to purchase the liver flavored one and see how he likes that! (Posted on 3/10/11)
- kong stuff'n PB Peanut Butter Paste Review by Eil
Your Rating Bought it to put in the Kong. Comes out very slowly and thin. Easier to just buy Peanut Butter and spoon it in. (Posted on 3/10/11)

Average Interview
I applied online - interviewed at Starbucks in October 2013.
Interview Details –
I applied for a number of stores in my area online. About a week and a half later, I received a call from one of the store managers, she said she would like to interview me, she asked me to come in the next day. I dressed business professional and brought in a copy of my resume. When I arrived I was offered a beverage (which I politely declined) and she asked me to go find a table while she got her stuff. I waited at the table about 10 minutes and then the manager came over and began the interview. She began by asking me to describe myself and my background. I discussed my educational background and my current academic program and briefly summarized some of my work history. She then asked me why I wanted to work at Starbucks. After that, she asked me several other situational type questions including telling a time when I knew someone I worked with was doing something wrong.
At the end of the interview she told me about the benefits to being a Starbucks partner. As a part-time employee you get free partner drinks while working, 30% off when not working, you're offered medical, dental, and vision insurance, a free pound of coffee, tea, or Via a week, and after a year you're given stock in the company.
After going over benefits, she told me about the uniform; any collared white or black shirt, with kaki or black pants, and leather shoes. Hair must be pulled up, and no nail polish (for Health Code reasons.) If you would like to wear a sweater, fleece, or hoodie, it must be the same color as the collared shirt you are wearing.
After this, she asked me if I had any questions, and told me that the next step was to meet with the store manage from a different store in the area. She asked me about my availability and told me she would call me in the next few days to let me know when that interview was.
At my second interview, I was once again greeted and asked if I would like a beverage. Then the store manager came over to my table and introduced herself. She said the second interview was very informal, and was part of the procedure to make sure that any new hires are good candidates, as Starbucks has very low turnover. She asked me about myself, and why I wanted to work at Starbucks. We chatted about related issues for awhile and the she asked if I had any other questions. She told me the next step was a background check.
After my background check went through, I was called by the original store manager, she told me my background check had come back ok, and that the second store manager loved me. She offered me a job, and asked me to come in the next day to do my new hire paperwork and go over the training program.
Interview Question – The most difficult question I was asked was what specific things did I do at my most recent job to get to know the people I was working with. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I did not attempt to negotiate. I was told starting pay was $8.65/an hour (plus weekly tips,) and in 6 months you get an automatic $0.60 raise.

I applied online and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Starbucks in October 2013.
Interview Details –
I applied online and selected about 5 stores that I wanted to work at. A few days later, I got a voice mail message from one of the stores asking me to set up an interview date. I didn't get to hear the person's name clearly in the voice mail so I couldn't address them properly when I called back. Anyway, I called back and we set up an interview for a few days later.
A few days later, I went to the interview. I was offered a drink to which I accepted. As my drink was being made, the interviewer started asking me questions about why I wanted to work at Starbucks and what I planned to do with my college degree.
We sat down at one of the tables in the store. As the interviewer sat down, they made small chit chat with a customer sitting next to us. Then, the interviewer looked at my application and asked me questions which included:
Tell me about a time when you helped someone out.
Tell me about a time when a customer was unhappy and describe how you handled it.
What is your availability?
That's all I remember.
The interviewer ultimately told me that they didn't want to hire someone who would just work for a short while and then quit when another opportunity came up, so I got the feeling that I was overqualified for the job and they saw me as someone who would quit after I found another job that was "better" than a Starbucks Barista. :(
In the end, I was told that I was interviewed because they recently hired 2 people who weren't moving very quickly in the training process so wanted someone as a back-up. The interviewer sipped their drink during the interview but I didn't really drink mine because I didn't feel like drinking while I was talking.
I was told that I would receive a call in a week and if I didn't hear back from them in a week, then I can go ahead and give them a call. I never received their call 1 week after the interview and I didn't call them back.
Interview tip: don't share goals that may seem too-ambitious with the interviewer as an effort to impress them because they'll think you'll want to move on after a few months or so and not want to hire you.

Easy Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Starbucks in November 2013.
Interview Details – When you have your interview and the manager or district manager feel as if you would be an adequate addition to our team, you are hired and are called in for "first impressions." First impressions consists of a coffee tasting and a rough idea of our recipes, products that we offer, values that we accompany, and some history on Starbucks as a company (and what we're moving towards).
Interview Question – What do you know about coffee? View Answer
Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. It was "we pay minimum wage, but you get tips every week which usually add $2.00 an hour to your pay in cash, a pound of coffee per week to do with as you please and great benefits plus stock options. Which I was okay with to start, but being here so long I'd hope to make more financially by now.

Israel is a country in the Middle East, located on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest. With a population of about 7.28 million, the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the world's only Jewish state. The modern state of Israel has its roots in the Land of Israel, a concept central to Judaism for over 3000 years. In 1947, the United Nations approved the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. On May 14, 1948 the state of Israel declared independence and this was followed by a war with the surrounding Arab states. The Israelis were subsequently victorious in a series of wars confirming their independence. Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, and efforts are being made to reach a permanent accord with the Palestinians.
