Tell Il Douche to send better diplomats?  Are we to be held accountable for your ineptitude?  Is that another one of the things this benevolent dictator saw and thought was good?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Thanks for sharing. The Gospel of Thomas is quite an interesting read. I wonder what the Christians think of it.

Yup the Christian god sucks at being persuasive
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Why would Thomas have secret sayings of Jesus? He wasn't exactly in the inner circle.

Seriously, have you read it? It's pretty puzzling. Also, some of the sayings seem to be rudimentary versions of the stuff found in the Sermon on the Mount/Plain. I wasn't commenting on the "credibility" of the document. To me, canonicity does little to make one text more credible than another. I merely found it interesting, and said as much.

I resent that remark.  "Descended from" my ass, I am a species in good standing with the whole chimp family.  Nothing wrong with that either.

So instead of discriminating against them conservatives should be encouraging their daughters toward becoming transgender.

No it's just you performing the head up your ass approach.

But then again your gods an asshole so i guess that makes sense .

Oh and of course only people Beta likes among his magic authors count . But again that par for the course with creationist tools.

If so, they skipped over a lot, like a good bit of Psalms.

Psalms is loaded with hateful verses.

Psalms 2:12 (NLT) = "Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry,
    and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
    But what joy for all who take refuge in him!"

IOW, kiss the homicidal maniac's butt or he will kill you.

The seizure and the car crash, just the beginning.  That's nothing compared to the eternity he'll spend in hell.

According to the Babylonian Tamud, Tractate Niddah, Folio 13A Chapter 2, If a guy holds his penis while urinating it's like he flooded the entire world.  So yes, he is a sinner if he shakes it.  And if you get any piss on your feet you are wicked and your children are illegitimate.  God is a real meanie.

"[Reverting to] the main text: 'R. Eliezer said, Whoever holds his membrum when he makes water is as though he had brought a flood on the world'. But, they said to R. Eliezer, would not the spray bespatter his feet and he would appear to be maimed in his privy parts so that he25  would be the cause of casting upon his children the reflection of being illegitimate? — It is preferable, he answered them, that a man should be the cause of casting upon his children the reflection of being illegitimate than that he should make himself a wicked man, even for a while, before the Omnipresent. Another [Baraitha] taught: R. Eliezer replied to the Sages. It is possible for a man to stand on a raised spot and to make water or to make water in loose earth and thus to avoid making himself wicked, even for a while, before the Omnipresent."
