A Parable of Two Bank Robbers


Posted by Mondo Fuego™ on March 12, 2024, 3:01 pm
Two bank robbers robbed different branches of the same bank.

Each made away with $40,000.

"Robber T" was caught, but he refused to give the money back to the bank. The DOJ prosecuted Robber T with 40 counts of robbery, one count for each $1,000 stolen.

"Robber B" got wind that Robber T had been located and prosecuted, and he became scared that he would also be found and prosecuted, so he returned the money to the bank and voluntarily turned himself in to the authorities.

The DOJ dismissed all charges against Robber B, stating that he was mentally impaired at the time of the robbery.

The media reported the details of Robber T's case, but remained silent on matters pertaining to Robber B.

Can you figure out the identity of each Robber based on information you have obtained in this parable and from the media?

The reward is $1.23 for correct answers. The extra 23 cents is to partially make up for inflation over the past 3 years.

‘Parable,’ lol. It’s about Biden and Trump, but had no link whatever to reality.

First, Biden didn’t ’rob a bank.’  He’s not been plausibly accused of ANY crime, much less has any evidence been produced against him,
any charges filed, any conviction obtained.

Meanwhile, Trump has been indicted on multiple civil AND criminal charges.  He’s lost two civil suits; he’s still on the hook for serious criminal offenses including an attempt to overturn the results of a federal election.

Even in terms of alleged theft of documents, the characterization of Biden’s ‘offenses’ is false and ridiculous.

At best this is a fake equivalency; at worst it’s an absurd and stinking pile of BS.

Only a moron could’ve posted it.  One determined to support criminal Trump NO MATTER WHAT.

Very well-corrected!  ;)

I see that the post by ‘AM/PM’ was removed, assuming that was Heavy Hemi?

Something wrong with a board which considers SES/OU812 a serious poster and Hemi a cancelled poster.

This is more nonsense, from a supposedly ‘Christian’ poster who DNR’d me for questioning her..

That’s right, not by human standards.

Posted by observer on March 19, 2024, 11:26 pm, in reply to "Not by human standards...."

Human standards allow all kinds of evil in the name of love, and things get worse not better because man does not understand that He cannot be God. He cannot solve the problems of the world, can’t even solve his own problems, too proud to seek God’s help, to admit that He exists, to even try to honor Him, and so instead blasphemes Him as if there were no consequence.

Hubris, not humility, is his standard. It doesn’t work and never has.

A loving God sacrificed His Son, for God so loved the world.
***
Didn’t God create the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? Didn’t Adam and Eve eat of it, against his stern prohibition (then why PUT the Tree in the Garden, especially since, if God were omniscient, he would’ve KNOWN that mankind would eat of the Tree?)?  Then did they not have God’s own understanding of good and evil?  And how is our knowledge of good and evil so inferior to God’s?

Most of her argument here seems to be  ‘Man does this, doesn’t do that, can’t do much of anything, he needs to let God do everything’ which is malarkey, especially if (as seems likely) God doesn’t actually exist.

Finally, why did he sacrifice his Son to save the world (or, such parts of it as believed in Jesus as the Christ) from himself? I’ve never seen a Christian give a coherent answer to that.  How is that ‘love?’ It is an ancient and barbaric blood sacrifice, is what it is.

Nonsense from 2-3000 years ago is still nonsense.  At least Akhenaton’s worship of the Aten (the Solar Disk) made some sense, as George Carlin once laid out pretty clearly in his lecture on sun worship..

Basically her, and many Christians’ argument is ‘Believe, don’t question, go to Heaven, end of story.  Oh, and vote Republican!’

Bleah..

The witch also apparently believes that ONLY Christianity exists!

This is a place where we discuss religion. Pro-religion and anti-religion posts are welcome.


Posted by Ken C on March 20, 2024, 4:13 pm, in reply to "So many points of view, so many differing ideas about reality."
Even with "Religion" in the title, that does not mean this is only a Pro-religion forum.

I try to be impartial and not criticize religion, but I still allow others to criticize and refute religion.

Now I mainly post about morals and ethics.

Except that when a religious poster DNRs you, the discussion between you cannot continue.


Comical to pretend your board is about ‘discussion’ when you support 25 DNRs..

Yeah, that's disgusting and also expected from the likes of GOG.

Makes me glad that I don't even look in there anymore.

Related is SES' latest anti-climate change idiocy:

***
Global Warmi...uh, Climate Change IS real. So says the lady on "The View". So you KNOW it's true.


Posted by CE0802 on April 10, 2024, 12:07 pm
The earthquake in New Jersey.

The eclipse.

And the coming emergence of the Cicadas.

Obviously, Climate Change IS happening.

Typical zealot lunacy. lmao
***
Not only is this jackass still pretending there's a difference between global warming and climate change ('liberals changed the name to confuse us!') but then somebody says something stupid on The View,' and this anti-science imbecile starts spewing out nonsense blaming 'liberals' (which is what the word 'zealot' really meant there).

Politicizing science ALWAYS makes a poster look like a douchebuffoon..

I totally agree!

I'd sure want to know more about that Christian group, who backs them, what are their politics, and what are their goals.

Their little sessions, if permitted, should be monitored by objective observers. This should NOT be an excuse for indoctrination.

Because we all know a big chunk of the Evangelicals are Dominionists, and want a national takeover.

Yeah, Scott is not a dummy but he sure makes a LOT of incorrect connections.  So do lots of fervent believers.  They are taken in by nonsense in the bible to where they see all kinds of magical/spiritual connections to things around them, so it's no surprise they buy into dumb assumptions on things that they see and read, making false connections they immediately believe.
 

Why isn't this whole thread political? Does Ken even LOOK at this board anymore?

My favorite jokes were SES talking about the importance of 'morality' (as if he even knows what that means!) and GOG's vicious 'pedo Pete' comment (hint, Ken, that's what political s--tboards look like).

What a bad board that's become. Of course, when the operator quits on you...

Awww You Are Anti-Akhenaten!!!

Posted by Deanna on April 23, 2024, 7:30 pm, in reply to "The world would be a better place without Monotheism"

He believed in ONE god!! And the Egyptians tore down most anything that Akhenaten built during his reign and destroyed it....

So your ideas and History still prevail??
***

The Egyptians tore down the Aten religion after his death because he tried to make it the ONE religion of Egypt, and tear down all of the other deities (starting with Amun, the biggest God with the richest and most powerful priests) and their temples.

Intolerance was what monotheism was all about right from the beginning, hon! Just like Christianity when it became Rome's religion...

Predictably Deanna has no idea. She and Observer throw their "expertise" around like garbage. 
Observer suggested I stew in juices, and it will affect my church music. I don't stew in juices, and let nothing interfere with giving the absolute best music I can. THAT coming from somebody who never heard me, knows NOTHING about music, is a narrow, judgmental height of hubris. All because I don't think HER way about religion, Christianity, and especially politics! You know their "faith" and politics are inseparable. They exemplify the worst of rightism. They are both financially secure and in Osteen-like prosperity ministry reasoning, attribute that to God rewarding their faith. That of course had no part in Christianity, and makes them people not worth knowing.
