>— He’s got all these nifty commandments and rules that if you fail to obey every single one he’ll send you to a place of eternal pain and torment, suffering and gnashing of teeth… but wait!! He loves you!
Yes, and many of those nifty commandments and rules contradict others. A classic case of “Dam_ed if you do, dam_ed if you don’t.”.
Your posts sound like you’re also a fan of George Carlin. After every single time I saw one of his routines I’d come away thinking; “He is so right.”.
I’m also getting pretty old and, for the first time in my life, consider myself fortunate that I’ve never had a family. No children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, not one single soul on Earth to worry about. Also, while it’s true that by no means am I an expert, about two years ago I figured that we had passed the point of no return, climate wise. I made my own estimates on how long we had left. Now that the idiots have returned Convicted Felon Shitler to office I’m revising my estimates downward. I figure we have about six to nine years, twelve years tops, before civilization completely collapses. I figure we’ll have another twenty-five to thirty-five years, forty-five years tops before the last human dies off. And there will be nothing to blame for our extinction except our own stupidity, and greed. Agent Smith in the Matrix movie was correct when he declared that “humans are a virus”.
Carnac, one of the routines by Johnny Carson that I always enjoyed. I think I’ll borrow, and slightly modify, one of his lines for the Supreme Religious Tribunal: “May the the fleas of a thousand camels infest their underwear.”
Under ordinary circumstances I would say he can’t sell the USPS since it’s in the Constitution. However, as things currently stand, I wouldn’t be surprised if he does since they want to throw the Constitution into the shredder anyway.
>— And then there is climate change, which too many are trying to sweep under the rug.
Yep, almost two years ago I figured we had already passed the point of no return. At that time I was estimating that civilization had about another 15 to 20 years, 25 tops before it all collapsed and that humans, as a species, only had about another 50 to 75 years, 100 tops beyond that, before becoming extinct. With the re-election of Convicted Felon Shitler I’m revising my estimates downward. I now figure that civilization has only about another 6 to 8 years, 12 tops before collapsing, and humans, as a species, another 24 to 35 years, 48 tops before going extinct. Just one more reason I’m glad I don’t have any family to worry about. The way things are now I don’t think I’d be willing to have children even if I was being paid to do so.
>— They love sending people to war, but once they return?
It’s the same attitude they have toward children, as George Carlin put it; “If you’re pre-born you’re fine, if you’re pre-school you’re f****d”.
