Okay - maybe we learned one thing.
People kill themselves for their 'gods'.
To me, that's just plain crazy...
Especially when you consider there is no God -
they're all made up. If there really was a god,
I gotta believe there'd only be one religion.
Catholicism in a nutshell. The Papacy is ridiculously rich.

Al Capone started one of the first soup kitchens. The kitchen employed a few people, but fed many more. In fact, preceding the passage of the Social Security Act, “soup kitchens” like the one Al Capone founded, provided the only meals that some unemployed Americans had. Al Capone’s intentions were an effort to clean up his image.
“120 000 meals are served by Capone Free Soup Kitchen” the Chicago Tribune headlined on December 1931. Al Capone’s soup kitchen became one of the strangest sight Chicagoans had ever seen. An army of ragged, starving men assembled three times a day beside a storefront at 935 South State Street, feasting on the largesse of Al Capone. Toasting his health. Telling the newspapers that Capone was doing more for the poor than the entire US government. He was even offering some of them jobs. Capone milked his good works for all the favorable publicity they were worth. He came down and walked among the men, the wretched of the earth, offering a handshake, a hearty smile, and words of encouragement from the great Al Capone.

During November and December, Al Capone’s Soup kitchen kept regular hours, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanksgiving Day 1930 was a particular public relations triumph for Capone. On that day he could boast that he fed more than 5,000 hungry men, women, and children with a hearty beef stew. The kitchen was demolished in the 50’s, but used to be located at the corner of 9th and State St. The site is now a parking lot.
... A slight remembrance of that fateful day.
I was building a house in Manasquan (NJ) and had to go to Town Hall to pick up some permit updates. I heard on the radio in the truck on the way there that something had happened but when I got to Town Hall was only one TV in the place and the Mayor's office door was locked so they couldn't get in to watch.
I hurried back to the jobsite - the house was right on First Avenue. The guy who lived in the house next to where we were working had his front door open and the TV on so I went over.
When I saw what happened, I went up on the beach (just around the corner) to see what I might see. This picture is an approximation of what we could see from there on the beach - nearly 60 miles away. It was a crazy day.

Re: the jeep.
ReplyDeleteSo your neighbor has a jeep, without a .50, but has the water cooled .30?
Okay - do I stand/sit corrected?
Delete#5....I never saw the draw. They were ok-ish, but definitely not of the quality to inspire such a large following.
ReplyDeleteThe brain dead following the Dead...
ReplyDeleteNot into the the Dead or the people that like them? Bummer...
ReplyDeleteLater.
Joe, I’m with you 1000% on your assessment of the Dead, I never got the whole Dead bullshit nonsense
ReplyDeleteAs for 9/11, my kid sister worked in one of the towers at the time for a finanacial outfit. She was coming out of the subway when the 1st plane hit and knew immediately it was no accident. When the 2nd one hit she came to her senses and took off running with tons of other people. To this day she swears that there were a heck of a lot more killed than just 3000. They watched barge after barge of dead people get ferried across the East River into Jersey. She was finally able to contact family about 10:00 PM that night to let us know that all was okay on her end.
Doesn't like the Dead, sucks jimmy buffetts cock... There's a reason the world will be a better place when boomers finally have the common decency to just fuckin die, already. Now, go obssess about titties some more, manlet.

ReplyDeleteA guy was killed in the next building over where one of the engines landed. A woman survived the longest know elevator free fall as the cable coiled under the car cushioning the fall. One guy on the plane was only hitching a ride. Crazy man.

There is a G-d! It's the religions that are made up in an attempt to explain to explain Him and the observation of certain manifestations that we otherwise find inexplicable.
I don't have much use for a god that can't or won't explain himself to his followers.

DeleteHe's explained himself to me; He's told me, "I gave Moses 10 rules for people to follow."
That's all I need to know - think about it.
Which Ten?
DeleteJewish, Catholic or Protestant?
Exodus chapter 20, verses 2-17?
Deuteronomy chapter 5, verses 6-21?
Leviticus chapter 19, verses 3 & 4, 11-13, 15 & 16 and 30 & 32? (Any idea why verse 29 was left out?)
Exodus chapter 34, verses 10-26?
As a theist, I understand Deuteronomy chapter 5, verses 6-17 and follow them, and heard them as though I were in the crowd assembled before Moses.
