Romans 14:
10But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
I will put in a good word for you Careinke.
Cog wrote:When the discussion turned religious I referenced the most authoritative text related to Christianity. When it is a matter of law, I reference the Constitution. There are many here who have read neither or only have a vague idea of what is contained within.
When you guys discuss doom, you reference scientific journals or other articles and don't just spout your opinions, which are subject to considerable bias.
The text, in many cases speaks for itself. Since the Catholic Church accepts both Scripture and its Traditions as flawless and inspired of God, there should be no contradictions between the two. IMO when contradictions do occur, one must give way to the other. That is what I am pointing out with some of the Pope's statements.
One of the few things I really haven't enjoyed about this primary: I think it's fine that all these young students have been so enthusiastic for her opponent and (he) sounds so good: 'Just shoot every third person on Wall Street and everything will be fine,'" Clinton said at an event in Fort Washington, New York. He pointed to fewer people working on Wall Street since the Dodd-Frank Act was passed as proof that financial reforms that his wife supports are effective.
Pope meets with Bernie Sanders, thanks him for addressing Vatican on the 'moral economy'
Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs told Reuters that the meeting took place in the Vatican guesthouse where the pope lives and where Sanders had spent the night after addressing a Vatican conference on social justice.
The Vatican had said before the conference that a meeting was not planned. Sachs said Sanders, who was accompanied by his wife, and the pope spoke for about five minutes. Sachs, his wife and a Vatican official were also in the room.
Sachs, who has advised the United Nations on climate change, said Sanders thanked the pope for his pronouncements on the need for morality in the global economy and statements in defense of the environment.
"The pope thanked the senator for coming to the meeting and for coming to speak about the moral economy," Sachs said.
Asked if the meeting could be interpreted as political, Sachs said: "This was absolutely not political. This is a senator who for decades has been speaking about the moral economy."

Thanks to Bernie Sanders, we now know how many big corporations don’t pay taxes
Bernie Sanders asked federal accountants to tally up how many major corporations pay nothing in federal income taxes, and now we know the answer. ...
Of the 1.6 million corporations active in the United States in 2012, 70 percent had no federal corporate income tax liability.

Dead or alive?
Well we will just have to see about that. Those "Establishment" Democrats are mostly carrier politicians and have their finger in the wind all the time and would vote for Genghis Khan the second they felt it was the surest way to maintain there own power and wealth.Cog wrote:Hillary Clinton could lose New York and still get more delegates than Bernie in New York. Sanders is not going to be the nominee. Its not even a close thing. Establishment democrats, who comprise the bulk of the super-delegates, are not going to switch to Bernie.
