"And I promise you lower taxes, better health care, life after death…
and…and
I’ll bring the troops home, restoreour international image…"
(Painting by Goya. 1746-1828)
The More Things Change…
DANGEROUS CREATION — for thinkers.
"Argue not with fools, frauds, fops, and fanatics. Seek instead better companions." —– "Show me a millionaire and I will show you a man who has never thought about the meaning of his life."
Goya, oh Goya. The churches are hard to beat, what with promising life after death, if you would only follow the ministers or priests. But there is no afterlife, anhd we have to find happiness here.

Right on, Swans! Whether the He-Goat is a Pope, a President, a Prime Minister, a King or Sheik, etc, there will always be a crowd of gullible humans waiting to be taken to the dry cleaners.

I like the way you put that, David. You remind me of Madalyn Murray O’Hare, who I dearly miss, a brilliant atheists who delighted in ridiculing those who aren’t, but the most hated woman in the USA, a crime victim who was slaughtered along with her son and daughter, because she was ill protected by the criminal justice system in Texas. Don’t get me started (smile). Thank you.
