You're way out there, Harry. Keep grabbing for straws though.


Being superstitious is way out there.

That's what i mean. You really do need to wake up to reality.


This from a guy who embraces the superstition of religion?

Why do you bring up religion Harry, I don't. True, I practice Christianity, but you always have something, usually negative, to post in here about people of faith. You bring it up a lot. No one else does.



You are the one who brought up "reality." as if, as a "religious
person," or core religious beliefs had any connection to reality. The
more I see of "religious belief" and many of the people who practice it,
or claim to practice it, the more it and its practitioners disgust me. I
have met some people in life who were religious and quite decent, though
I have no reason to believe it was because of their religious beliefs.
I've also met a lot of people in life who were not in any way religious
and were decent.

Oh,"people of faith"...is snarly behavior concomitant with faith?


Harry, you are a ****ing asshole.

Of course not, Harry. You prove that in here on practically a daily basis.

I wouldn't dispute Lee's military prowess. An honorable man wouldn't
have taken up arms against the United States.


He didn't. He took up arms to answer the call of his beloved state of Virginia.

"With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the Army, and save in defense of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor

services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword..." Lee


I've seen the quote before...it's just another rationalization. An
honorable soldier might have resigned a commission and stayed home. He
wouldn't have quit one side to take up arms with the enemy. And what was
he defending his native state from, the abolition of slavery? That's
some honorable position.


You miss the point that the State of Virginia was of more concern to
him than a bunch of politicians in another state. This was a time when
most people lived their whole lives within a 100 mile radius of where
they were born and they more closely identified with their state than
the federal government. Bear in mind the only federal office they
actually voted on was their house members and there was very little
the federal government controlled in their lives. The state government
was the government.

It doesn't take a "religious" person to see that.

No doubt that was why the country was called the *United* States of
America. Lee was a traitor and seditionist. You haven't anything that
would convince anyone otherwise.

Yup. states were a major part of the name. Sort of like the European
Union. Separate governments combing for a specific purpose.
