doesnt seem like a good deal for her

seems like this extraordinary man just cant stop winning

And when the TDS kids heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.

Act 7:54

Attended church for Christmas did you, dear boy?

Most virtuous of you. Still, your vicar may have missed Acts 7.55:

Quote:

55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

Your passage goes on:

Quote:

59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

The martyrdom of Stephen is about forgiveness through Christ. When we are tormented and persecuted, even unto death, we forgive, just as we seek forgiveness for those we have wronged ourselves. This is the message of the gospels themselves, is it not?

As you'd expect, it is a message the big fella has reflected upon, as a deeply committed Christian, like yourself. When asked whether he had ever sought forgiveness for his sins, the big fella was adamant:

Quote:

I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so. I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture, I don't.

The big fella loves his church and attends as much as he can, even when they are closed. Like you, he loves his God and his Bible and little church. He doesn't worry about all the religious stuff so much, which he believes takes care of itself if one gets the basics right, such as partaking in his little wine and cracker:

Quote:

When I drink my little wine — which is about the only wine I drink — and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed.

Yes, it's not so much about the forgiving, but the little wine and crackers, which may be a form of asking for forgiveness, liturgically speaking. A performative, symbolic act which makes us feel cleansed.

As we reflect upon the passing of Christmas and enter the new year of our Lord 2025, I do feel there's a message in there for all of us, no?

Now now, Armchair, we all have our different views and ways of seeing the world. Is this not the beauty of the pluralistic, rich multicultural tapestry we all share?

We live in a democracy with rights and freedoms inherent and absolute. Universal suffrage, direct representation, a rule of law with due process and justice for all.

Superior culture, innit.

Of course we all see the world differently. However, surely most reasonable people can concede that a person who has been convicted of rape is not fit to serve as President of the United States and should never have been permitted to run for that office? It's ridiculous - a person who is not a natural born US citizen cannot run for the office of President, but a convicted felon can. If that's not a joke, I don't know what is.

I know, right? E Jean testified that she slept with a Derringer under her pillow.

The big fella had his lawyers push to get her charged for owning an unlicensed weapon.

He's our law and order president, no?

Not so much a man as a God.

well if she has acted illegally, we can only hope that she will feel the full weight of the law.
this would surely be your position if you had consistency Undecided

Just so. E Jean should go to jail for saying she had an unlicensed firearm. Stormy Daniels should go to jail for flashing her tits in a strip joint. Karen McDougal should go to jail for breaching her NDA.

Fair's fair, no?

The big fella should be let off for basically being awesome.

How do we know?

You said.

It's a civil case, Armchair. The felonies were just a minor paperwork error. He didn't mean to do it.

Obama was prez for eight years, and he was probably born in Kenya.

Where's the justice in that?

It is indeed a joke that an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon can run for POTUS.

No sane person would let him step foot anywhere near their house.

And despite that, 70 million people voted for him.

The US is broken, and it's only gonna get worse over the next four years.

The justice in Obama is that he was cool, whereas Trump is the precise opposite of that - times several million.
