Rights? Could you be specific?

Personally, I shouldn’t think God wants to get involved in Human politics.

That’s supposed to be part of the price of Original Sin, is it not? (That is, the idea that we can try to live the way we think we should live, and abide by the consequences there-of. The consequences being war, crime, power corrupting politics, greed, etc…)

The Gospels tell us those who insist most strongly that they can’t be fooled are the easiest to scam.

If you’d like to avoid being fooled, e-mail me and I’ll arrange to send you my amazing free book, “How Not To Be Fooled By Cynics And Non-Believers”. You pay only shipping and handling.

I follow both Jesus and God on Twitter, and they both seem pretty cool, so you should be okay with them on your side.

In all my years here combined, I don’t think I’ve been able to correctly surmise more correct join dates than I have in May 2013. Jesus must be guiding me!
