Churches do a lot to help people in need with food, to keep the lights on or even a bed in a homeless shelter. They do it with mostly or all volunteers, and at a lot lower cost than any government agency. Any land owned by churches is a small fraction of a percent in any city. Deadbeat landowners owe a lot more in taxes than all the value of the land & property taxes on churches would ever add up to. The annual notice for delinquent property taxes around here was over 75 pages of the smallest font the local newspaper has. It was over half of the newspaper that day. Use your head to analyze the facts, instead of making an ass of yourself. You make excellent points but the appeal to using one's head is likely to fall on deaf ears because it isn't about logic, facts, law, justice, freedom, or anything of the sort. Atheists despise religion, just as socialists despise free enterprise, and are out to destroy it by any means, regardless of the means. And that, as they say, is that. It's really sad what cheap booze does to people. Ya think? Well, the way government works these days we can subsidize 'quality booze' and then run a "cash for rotgut" program. That's how they get the rotgut in the first place. -- You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-Aid™ on it, because it's Teflon coated. |

And a perfect companion to my having watched "Weird Warfare" on the History Channel earlier as some of those 'inventors' must surely have been drinking, smoking, snorting or injecting something. In some cases: 'A mind is a terrible thing!' ;-) -- You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-Aid™ on it, because it's Teflon coated. |

In some cases: 'A mind is a terrible thing!' ;-) Hehe. The "Weird Warfare" show was basically an amusing rehash of the prior "Weird Weapons of the Allies/Axis" shows. Some worked, like explosive flour. Some are examples of "oops, didn't think of that." Like the Soviet 'anti tank' dogs with explosives strapped onto their back and trained to run under enemy tanks, at which point a wooden lever tripped the explosive. The "oops" is they trained them using Russian tanks, of course, but theirs used different fuel than German tanks and since dogs are quite smell sensitive they had a shockingly high tendency to run under their own rather than the enemy's. Oops. Does sound a little like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, don't it? Don't tell me. They bought the dogs from ACME? -- You can't fix stupid.
