I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
In the Hitler assassination attempt, Project Valkyrie, the only injury Hitler suffered was to his ear.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Fun fact: For the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers, NASA contracted with a local (to JPL) watchmaker to make some special watches that ran on Mars time. A Mars day is 39 1/2 minutes longer than an Earth day. He hand-adapted several of them for the rover teams, so they could shift their circadian rhythms to match the time on Mars, in order to sync with their Mars-based work schedules "driving" the rovers. My wife gifted me one of the originals, 20 years ago. As a space nerd, it's one of my most prized possessions, right up there with a thermal tile removed from the Shuttle Atlantis.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

Just curious. That's a good ratio, better than mine.

I did not know that.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

My doc isn't really concerned, he said he could put me on a statin but he pegged my one year heart attack risk at 5%, so for now I declined.

Some days no meat at all. At 67 mine's more concerned with BP, exercise and balance. My annual wellness is next month, they'll do a mini mental then.
