Some of us believe because we looked around and saw a world that came into being because the creator provided the material to do so many billions of years ago. The evidence is there if one chooses to look, but we can't make you see it. Of course we believe because we had a personal experience that opened our eyes to God. Exactly what form God takes is different depending on the believer, but the common belief is that God created us and everything. I guess if one doesn't have a road to Damascus moment one doesn't believe, but I certainly did. God is not incompatible with science, as God created the physical rules of the universe. If one does not believe in God, explain where the material to form the universe came from. Did it just magically appear out of nowhere? That wouldn't be very scientific, would it?

Rehashing the past 510 pages? IMO God created life the universe and everything and everything in it is of equal importance. Why do you assume that God has any human emotions, eg love? There is nothing to say that God does except human desires. You might as well ask why black holes exist and destroy everything dragged into them such as suns and planets with all their life. Some people are born deformed because something went wrong, not because a being ordained that they should be born so. IMO to assume God is in any way like humans is a nonsense, let alone illogical.

The early stories of God were based on human values and life back then was brutal ergo God was brutal ( unless one believes the Bible was actually written by God, and I certainly do not ). I do not ascribe human values or emotions to a being that can create universes, but nor do I think God "cares" about us as individuals. IMO God created life the universe and everything and left the universe to get on with it. For all I know, God has made millions of universes, trying to get it right. IMO, if God actually took an interest in this individual planet, God would eliminate us to allow the possibility of a better species to take over. Perhaps God sent the asteroid to eliminate the dinosaurs because they didn't become more intelligent.

I have no doubt that a super intelligent species inhabited Earth many millenia ago, given what they left behind, but they vanished for some reason. Just look at the ancient stone cutting in Sth America, to know that advanced technology existed. No way primitive people without the ability to use specialized metals ( or a type of laser ) for cutting could have made those cuts. I do not know if they were from another planet, but that's possible.

I do.

We didn't do much talking and can't fake an orgasm if one knows the physical changes that happen during one.

Which is why I said the family turned her against me rather than playing the long con. However, I do believe that some do play the long con, though I doubt it would be as long as a year.

Perhaps, but very few and they wouldn't be able to do so for long, IMO.

Perhaps they just realised that he won't be a "winner" in '24. All the GOP would have to do is put a collage of Biden's gaffs on every tv in the country and the opponent would likely be a shoo in, as long as they can say a complete sentence.

They like to bring Trump into every conversation, whatever it's about.

Just can't stop talking about Trump? BTW that's off topic.

While Charles is off topic, give him a chance. He hasn't even seen his mother buried yet.

Where did I mention Trump or dark money? Both parties are as guilty as each other IMO.

Are you talking about the Russia investigation on Trump? That was IMO a complete waste of millions and didn't get rid of him, LOL.

I disagree. One doesn't have to reside in the halls of government to know something is very wrong. The result of government over reach for ever more power and their incompetence is evident in every person's life.

In other words, those that wanted to promote a certain response to covid did a terrible job of convincing a large segment of the population that they were on the right track. To believe otherwise is IMO to claim that a certain segment of the population wanted people to die needlessly.

Seems to me that many members of the public openly flouted government efforts to control the pandemic because they thought they were nonsense. I certainly did, and I wasn't alone by far. I never met anyone that thought destroying the economy was a good idea, whatever the reasons for doing so.

Beat me to it! Seems that some are incapable of understanding that some things like the diamond were legally given to the Crown. Some are just too eager to paint our ancestors as blackhearted and how we must make amends. However it seems to always be other people that must pay for those amends.

Inheritance tax IMO is a vile money grab by politicians, and unsupported by the population, but regardless, IMO the Crown and it's property belong to the people, so why would they be taxed on it?

What on earth are you on about? The things they came to see are such as the palaces, the changing of the guard etc.

Indeed. IMO if Trump was actually worried about the documents being actual secrets, he'd have hidden them a bit better than leaving them lying around in his office.

and the chance exists that he may comes to realise there is no there there to be getting excited about. I know how much some want Trump to go down for something, but IMO it won't be this, which IMO is going to come back to bite some on the backside post the midterms.

They've been telling us for at least 4 years that he's going down for something, but hasn't happened yet, and IMO this will turn out to be a repeat. Meanwhile, it's a bit hard in a "democracy" to lock people up for having a viewpoint different to a certain demographic, but if they keep saying bad man, bad man, perhaps enough people will believe it to pass a special law just for him and his supporters. Meanwhile, perhaps people should remember why Hitler came to power, and it wasn't because they thought he'd make the trains run on time. Wonder why Trump is popular? Thank about what could make people look to him for leadership- hint, it's possibly what has been going on in Washington D C for decades.

IMO the reason for asking for a special master was to stop the leaks.

"Justice" is supposed to be impartial. That the department employs prosecutors is irrelevant to how the department is run, or it should be renamed "Department of prosecutions".
