"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton

fails to grasp the meaning of
'omnipotent',


Ah, faint echos of Bertrand Russell, paraphrasing here from the 1930s:
"Do you really think that if there was a god and he had all the time
and all the power and all the knowledge in the world, all he would come
up with is Winston Churchill and the Nazis?"

Yeah, those are "all" of the people in the world. You are either Winston
Churchill, or you are a Nazi.

A better question to ask, Tom, is why did Germans, in so large numbers,
become Nazis, or actively support them and their rise to power; the horrors
that Germany would unleash onto Europe and most of the world?

You could be both. Winnie, was, after all, a war criminal.

Yeah, Winston was also a Nazi. Sure. Thanks for your important
contribution.

No, but if he did half the **** he did in his life nowadays, he'd be in
the dock at the hague.

Sure. Thanks for your important

No problem fjukkwit.

Marissa,

No objective standard. As I wrote, that was "my opinion". I stand by
it.

A better question to ask,

It's a good question to ask - but it has nothing to do with our
discussion. You like herring of the red variety, it seems.

Perhaps, but sometimes it is useful when opinions have some supportable
factual basis.

Oh of course not. Afterall, I'm sure that banning religion would have
stopped Nazi horrors, right?

Marissa,

Huh?

Nobody has been talking about banning, but if human societies would
have come to the consensus to favor rationalism instead of religion
(one might argue that the Nazi ideology as well as communism were some
kind of quasi-religion - and people have done so at length) and that
would have stopped the Crusades, the genocide of native Americans (both
North and South), the Inquisition, the Pope advocating having as many
children as possible in modern-day Africa, 9/11 and all those other
examples of atrocities in the name of religion, that would have been
plenty, wouldn't it?

If reaching such a consensus is at all possible in humans is a
different and very interesting question.

I've seen rumors that God's Final Message to His Creation is:

"We apologise for the inconvenience."
