“Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid or produces only atheists or fanatics. As an engine of power, it serves the purpose of despotism, and as a means of wealth, the avarice of priests, but so far as respects the good of man in general it leads to nothing here or hereafter.”
― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

Without rigor, you go nowhere. Without doubt, you are trapped.

[Walker]

Tripped traps teach the fallibility of assumptions, as five squirrels learned last summer.

Each had assumed that a peanut butter biscuit embedded with birdseed was a culinary Everest leading to a future of either perpetual downhill disappointment or inconceivable delights, but in fact led to enslavement, a new promised land, and stories for the grand-kits.

*I do NOT YET KNOW If 'it' makes a difference or not. That is WHY I asked you 'so what?', in relation to most states in that parcel of land called "united states", you have the right to shoot and kill ANY one who breaks into your home.

If this has a difference to people being slavers/controllers while owning guns or not I will NOT KNOW UNTIL you inform me of what was the purpose of 'you' informing 'us' that "in most States", in that one little Truly insignificant place called "united states", you human beings have "the right" to shoot and kill other human being just because they "broke" into "your" home?

I also could find it hard to believe that a human being has the right to shoot dead another human being just because they broke into a building, except I am not at all surprised anymore of the absurd and ridiculous rulings, especially in regards to guns and shootings, that come out of that country.
