"The Constitution is based on the Ten Commandments".

[Manifestor_of_Light]

Today's encounter with a Fox news watcher.

My response:

Actually, no. The constitution comes from Jean Jacques Rousseau, what he wrote about 1760 as a result of the Enlightenment. That all men are created equal with certain unalienable rights given to them by their Creator, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This started before the American Revolution and the French Revolution."


Duhhhhhh.........

Tonight I got out my Great books and read The Social Contract by Rousseau.

He also told me I would not get to heaven worshiping buddha sitting and meditating.

My response: Buddha is not a god. You are wrong. He said he was enlightened, he is not a god, Buddhism is a philosophy. It's about compassion and doing the right thing.

This guy is a good carpenter working on my house, but he is also a sexist pig. He can't handle a well read female like me. It blows his mind. I want to see his head explode because it would be messy, memorable and spectacular.

I tell him stuff from history and he just can't deal with it. He's busy being a rigid control freak and "how is that workin for ya"? Not well. His wife has bad stress problems because of his crapola. I keep opening her mind.

He's been homeschooling the kids who are now in public school, in order to keep them in fear and handicap them in the real world, I guess.


I told him I will never be a christian again, god has not talked to me, and I am sick of people like him who love to pound it into me that Jeebus is the only way. I told him that there are millions of people with different opinions from him and that his way is not the only way.

:banghead: This is what I get for living in Redneckistan where the socially acceptable psychosis is Jesus Obsession.
