Libertarian, I guess.

But if everyone chooses to be uncommon, then it becomes common.

If the minimum wage or social security stop you from doing any of that, then you didn't really want to do it in the first place.

"This, with God's help, I have done."

And there's the rub. When God fucks other people over, it must be their fault, and when you get lucky, it's because you deserve it.


Riiiiiiight up until the moment that you or someone you love gets fucked. And then you start making all sorts of rationalizations about why your situation is different, because you know you didn't deserve it, so God must have made a little mistake, and actually he wants everyone to lend you a helping hand...

That's why I added the, "healthy, white, male". Just borrow a million(+interest) from Dad, and do your best.
Everyone else, everyone the deck is stacked against, is just karma fodder.:rolleyes:

[scratching head] How would minimum wage or social security prevent you from doing any of that?[/scratch]

I think that was his point. :D

That's easier than accepting your concept of god is probably flawed and in fact god doesn't actually give a flying fuck about anyone in particular and that's exactly why "he" lets all the terrible shit happen to innocent, good people.

The problem is with the disney happy ending great reward god as opposed to the total fucking catastrophe god.

God is like a table saw. I tell my kids a table saw cuts and it doesn't care if it cuts wood or your arm. God is just a bigger table saw and doesn't care if you are a cute bunny, a little kid, or a mother stabbing father raper.

It makes more sense to me to accept that than it does to try to maintain the narrative despite gaping holes in the plot.

That's racist.

^ Have you been told today?

This bears thinking on.
