Dumbest thing - Non-political.

That the FBI did the right thing at Waco and Ruby Ridge.

As I aged I saw what an injustice that was.

Correct on the first part, but the person referenced was recently in front of the US Senate, so that sort of made it political.

when I was growing up, I knew a lot of beautiful women who weren’t very bright who are married to ugly men who are very intelligent at the time. I couldn’t understand how such a beautiful woman could be married to an ugly man. Now I wonder how such an intelligent man could be married to a woman who wasn’t very bright.

Everyone should read the bible. It’s critical to understanding western literature. Same with Iliad and the odyssey.

I saw thing on Facebook. If you buy a Bible and never read it, you are Catholic. If you buy a Bible and only read the part you want, your evangelical. If you buy a Bible, read it and analyze it, you’re an atheist
