I don’t think it’s weird at all; it explains everything.

The reason why is because no deeper poop exists than unclassified virtue. Greeks just acted like they knew what they were talking about out of fear of being accused of behaving impious.

Paradoxically, the more our nation rejects God, theocracy (the ancient Greek philosophy), and all of past history, the more we seem to return to this former sorry state of affairs.
If thats how you choose to live your life, go for it.

But our Constitution guarantees people like me the right to live life free of your God and your holy books.

A lot of the problems that our nation has today are a result of lawyers getting carried away with the essays of Gene Rousseau, the Federalist Papers written under the alias Publius, and the failure that was the French Revolution.
In our system, we didn't have to execute an actual physical king like they did in France. Instead we butchered up his authority metaphorically into a king-writ-large – this being a legislating Congress, an administrating President, and an adjudication Supreme Court.
This would all happen more as a result of John Locke. As Sir Robert Filmer would earn a Knighthood by safely writing a correspondence favoring the king possessing Divine Right, because of fear for his life, John Locke had to write his opposing two correspondence under an alias (Publius) his real identity only being revealed after his death according to his will.

A simpler way of viewing our system is the number ten which denotes a truth that is self defining:

The Ten Commandments.
The Ten Parts to Plato's Republic.
The Ten Articles declaring independence from the pope having Devine Right on a world level to that of a king on a more local level.
The Ten Bill of Rights declaring independence from a king on a national level shifting his authority to that of the unalienable rights etched indelibly on the soul. The last ten rights decentralized authority to working out problems between neighbors.

Establishing a definition of a term is not like digging up potatoes. It isn't like the Mormon religion which is based on eternal writing on plates that were discovered. This is why one unalienable right should be presented together with a package of ten. They will read in a self evident way in this fashion

"They couldn't protest on the sidewalk without interfering with the little old woman's right to walk to church. So, they acted unobtrusively deciding to campaign peacefully and intelligently instead."

The Ten planks of the communist party are not self evident pertaining to the achievement of greater happiness, but suggest manipulation required for fulfilling responsibility. Clarity is not achieved, but social confusion.

.....or how about the number 3

3 wheels on a tricycle
3 legs on a stool
3 sides make up a triangle
3 movements in Beethoven's 5th symphony
3 Little Pigs
3 Rings in a Circus
and, most importantly, the 3 Stooges

So, you are suggesting that there isn't a connection to be made between the prior Ten Commandments, the Ten Articles, and our Founders deciding on the number of ten when establishing our Bill of Rights?

Christ would bless the soul. John the Baptist claimed that Christ possessed a voice of fire to etch upon that soul. In order to leave an eternal message, if one has an eternal utensil (a pen) to write with, there must also be an eternal material (paper) to write upon. The latter of these is the soul.

If your offspring were to come out broken, it must be comforting to know that there are so many fighting for the lives of the less than broken.

I really dont care. Live your life and Ill live mine. I draw the line when a book of lies (like the Bible and the Quran) is used to make laws that I have to follow. Those books (again the Bible and the Quran) were the primary inspiration for slavery, war, segregation, and the extermination of Native Americans.

You can have it but leave me out of it.

I have talked to a few others who might be able to help with transportation. We would put up a woman and her friend/relative/ loved one, of course, free of charge.
How about talking to them about all the OTHER options they have that will not only save them years and years of trauma and depression but will save the babies life as well?

LOL! Portland tried and then reversed their efforts because Texas couldn't give AF and they need us more than we need them.

We've moved here to GET AWAY FROM the regressive tyrannical LEFT and are just fine with Texas, thank you!

You probably picked the wrong state. Texas is still red but its trending purple. My conservative relatives looking to leave Las Vegas wont even consider Texas for that reason. They are looking at Alabama.
