So do you want to try to explain the Obama tax cuts for 95% of the people? (s) We need to use our brains a little bit more and stop taking dogma and ideology at face value, because face value is just that, not worth the paper it's printed on.

They taught us that Catholicism was the true path to God passed down to us from Jesus to Peter and then in a long line of Popes. I don't buy it. nor do I, but not just because I want to "voice a different opinion". But don't tell me that if you aren't Catholic, that you are going to Hell. I didn't. Jesus himself proclaimed that He is the way. That is why the followers were first called Christians (followers of Christ, or " little Christs"). Just too many warnings that the way is narrow...that outside the door is death...that to walk away is death ...that to ignore is death, on and on. Either one has to have faith that Jesus is God's son and the Savior, or one does not and that the words of the Bible are true..or not. If I said that a Jew who has denied the Christ or his coming is on the right path, or that an apostate is on the right path or that a muslim is on the right path... itwould just be a lie. BTW, you should think more about pork. It IS one of the nastiest meats there is. Pork absorbs more "trash" than any meat. To be honest...it still should be avoided....There goes those baby back ribs.... some of the following I have not verified, but interesting none the less. ......A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. ......The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. ......When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time. ...... Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat. ......Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons. ......Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom. ...... When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms. ......Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts,and eggs will be killed. ...... Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak .]contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat. ...... Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine's one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh. ......The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. ...... The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism. ...... The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.
