Well Dave, I'm all for keeping the masses sedated. It saves the taxpayers from building more courts and hiring more prosecutors. Maybe one day the stoners will rule the world. Nirvana.

I don't. I was only responding to PO's allegations. Actually, I like atheists, especially those who admit it and display their contempt for people of faith.

Did anyone else hear that open civil war has broken out in the Celebrity Twitterverse? Kanye West versus Taylor Swift, and we all have to choose a side!

Your best post yet. Beauty in form, economy, heft, etc. ......... this is actual poetry. Well done.
Oh, and by the way, you could try being an agnostic, that could work.

Which side gets to claim that God told them they could solve the problem with guns?

The only time God talks to these people is when they talk to each other. They ARE gods!

The Dallas police solved their problem with C-4 and a robot. I wonder if they'll make a civilian version? And BTW, what was wrong with C-3?

I wish, but it is not mine...
I was quoting a Christian author...
Agnostics are truly enigmas...
They believe in nothing and everything...
At the same time...

I believe it also had a fairly obvious smell as well, and the vapours were toxic, and some of the chemicals were able to absorbed through the skin.

That was also the case with Heinz 56.

My question to you is......is being an enigma necessarily a bad thing?

Only when the enigma is wrapped in a mystery and stuffed inside a riddle.
Folks in this thread that are nervous that there will be a bunch of hate dumped on Muslims, and keep repeating phrases such as, "We can't blame all Muslims blah blah blah" I say that you're correct. Muslims don't seem to be the problem.
Radical Muslims are the problem. And they've very helpfully decided to band together in a club called ISIS, or ISIL, or whatever they're called these days. It makes it easier to identify the bad guys. If you're a member of that club, you're a target. If you're a Muslim and not a member of ISIS, you're not a target. People that are not members of ISIS can definitely become targets by certain actions, but I believe that as a member that stands with the terrorists you should be a target even if you haven't personally been up to terrorist activities. Being a member is enough of an activity to get you on the kill list.

I'd like to order an enigma wrapped in mystery please, but please hold the riddle (I'm gluten intolerant), and could I get fries with that?

Can I get anything wrapped in bacon? Preferably deep-fried...
Let's try this. One of these has to work.

You need to go to the state fair for that.
(The bacon wrapped enigma stuffed riddle)
The Loctite is free with any order over $10.00

You will probably be surprised but I mostly agree with you here.
That said, there is the slightly troublesome detail about exactly what constitutes "standing with the terrorists". I don't think there is any question about someone in ISIL "uniform" actively threatening with a gun/explosives/knife/weapon, or actively recruiting jihadists, or raising money for the cause, or any of that. I doubt you would find anyone here (including those pesky liberals) that would disagree that this person is the enemy and should be treated as such.
But what about someone who says things in public that are in general sympathy for their cause, even partially?
What about someone who visits jihadist websites, reads their material, or re-tweets something in support?
What about someone who "has ties" in the form of relatives, however distant, who may do the things above, or even be outright "members"?
What about someone who has recently visited an area where ISIL holds some power or influence?
What about someone who doesn't shout "death to the terrorists!" quite loud enough at your local gathering?
And for all these things above, does it make a difference if the person in question is a Muslim or not?
Do any of these conditions above merit someone automatically being "on the kill list?"
And who gets to decide, by what criteria, with or without a fair trial?
And if so, do you REALLY think that this is in keeping with American (or even Christian) values?
On this point I can't disagree with you more. I honestly think you are being pretty naïve or disingenuous here.
