AN INVENTION OF AND BY MAN

Image
In 325, at the Council of Nicea, Constantine the Great created the Catholic Church after a genocide of 45,000 Christians, where he tortured them to renounce Reincarnation.     At the same time the religious books of all the villages of the empire are collected and thus create THE BIBLE. In 327, Constantine, known as the emperor of Rome, ordered Jerome to translate the Vulgate version in Latin, changing the Hebrew proper names and adulterating the scriptures.  In 431, the cult of the VIRGIN was invented.  In 594, PURGATORY was invented.  In 610, the title of the POPE was invented.  In 788, worship of pagan deities was imposed.  In 995, the meaning of kadosh (set aside) was changed to saint.  In 1079, the celibacy of priests is imposed >> a totally Catholic word.  In 1090, the Rosary was imposed.  In 1184, the Inquisition was perpetrated.  In 1190, indulgences are sold.  In 1215, confession was imposed on the priests. ...

Over a long career on both sides of the bench––as a relentless litigator and an incisive jurist––Justice Ginsburg helped us see that discrimination on the basis of sex isn’t about an abstract ideal of equality; that it does...

THE COMMON GOOD OF AMERICA

Perhaps the common good of America will prevail even though Americans have voted with their eyes wide shut for far too long.  Bernie Sanders has answered to the need for moral responsibility in our government and Throughout the World. May Honesty Integrity Wisdom and Truth prevail. Bernie Sanders is the President we needed to reset the moral compass. The female guests on MSNBC did not listen then. They made a big deal about Bernie’s age, called him a communist. They claimed he lacked energy, spunk and said he made them sick. Yet neither Hillary nor Trump could keep up with the daily schedule he follows to this day. They did not listen then, they did not know how. And they still are not listening now. Eisenhower did not care about liberals or conservatives. He knew what the country needed after a war effort and he set about building it. The result was a great economy, #1 in the world in education, infrastructure and just about every other damn category, including the development of ...
