Re: P01135809
I don't much care for Biden's character, and his policies could be better. But he was light-years better than the alternative. If an ideal candidate for me would be like a gourmet meal at a 5 star restaurant, Biden would be like a McDonald's burger, and Trump would be like a lump of radioactive wast...

Re: What the world has come to...
The Bible doesn't say anything about the shape of the Earth one way or another, except for using clearly metaphorical language like 'four corners of the Earth', but even flat earthers don't believe the Earth is a square.

Re: Trump surrenders?
Here's a good rule of thumb regarding conspiracies: The more people who would have to be involved in it, the longer it is kept secret, and the more elaborate the deceptions required to keep it secret, the less likely it is to be true. Someone is having an affair? Very plausible. It happens all the t...

Re: What the world has come to...
Jesus never said anything about the shape of the Earth.
At least, going by what's written in the Bible.
If you want to ascribe extra words to Jesus that aren't in the Bible, just keep in mind Revelation 22:18.

There are no such things as aliens, and space is blocked off by the firmament, and real outer space isn't the NASA-style space that you can move through.
