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.

A corrected parable is that robber A did as charged and is facing criminal prosecution while "robber" B accidentally took some pens home from working at the bank by mistake. When discovered, he called the bank, returned the pens, and allowed the police to search his home and other property for other pens he may have brought home by accident. One other was found and returned.

In the meantime, robber A continues to claim that he DIDN'T steal anything, the money was his all along, and he's likely still got some stolen cash hidden elsewhere that he refuses to give back or admit.

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..

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.

Racist black Baltimore mayor says on national propaganda media

Posted by GOG on 3/28/2024, 2:58 pm

that his entire focus is based upon hating whites and making whites uncomfortable. Imagine a white mayor saying such against blacks. Can one hear the hue and cry.

Baltimore is a city on the decline. Like most blue cities, crime, permissiveness, and radical leftist ideology have turned Camelot into an outhouse. The mayor fails to address that the thousands of black teen rampaging through the city streets might make responsible blacks uncomfortable. The racist pig is wholly unsuited to be mayor of a city populated by blacks and whites. The DEI bridge collapse will see the local economy take a deep dive. I say DEI because Synergy Marine owns the vessel. DEI is a virtue signaling tenet of its corporate hiring policy, as stated on its website. It owns the ship, which in 2016 took out a cement dock through captain errors. Just realize those hired because of race, gender, and sexual self misidentification, might be your surgeon, aircraft pilot, nuke operator, president, and might not be qualified. Indeed many are not.

Idiot Boy buys the entire right-wing line…DEI to blame, mayor a ‘racist’ for protesting racism, blah, blah, blah.

Unsurprisingly, Born to Farm is pushing programs which attempt to inject the Christian religion into the public schools:

https://mb.boardhost.com/ReligionAndEthics/msg/1712847253.html

Long post basically bragging about how they've been slipping evangelical Christianity into the public schools in a 'court -approved' way, after hours.

He claims that this is starting to infest the public schools even in Columbus, which I find disgusting. You KNOW there's both a religious and political component to this; pushing Columbus to the Red side is no doubt a goal of these people.

Use your damned churches to teach religion. Don't use our public schools!

SES is an asshole that sh!ts in every room he enters.
He thinks ridiculing me about big bugs is funny. He is unaware of the
record specimens being caught... literally everywhere. Additional CO2
in the atmosphere increases oxygen density, most profoundly in the
tropics. The huge insects during the Carboniferous period achieved great
sizes because of oxygen density. Is there a connection now?
I stay on top of those discoveries. These record specimens aren't profoundly bigger.
But 18cm Titanus giganteus, 14cm Megasoma actaeon, 13cm Goliathus goliath,
20cm Dynastes hercules.... have been taken in recent years.
These are just a few species in which new records are set. El Stupido
puts the FUN in dysFUNctional.

The BtF advocacy for indoctrination of (his) Christianity in public schools is despicable,
especially if it is compulsory and taught during the curricular day. I'd raise holy hell
about that, and somebody should. Did you notice kids there only get music once per
week?

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.

**Posted by greenman** **Online!** 4/15/2024 8:02 am

Trump has fed on American superstition and love of conspiracies well, starting I think with his absurd myth of Obama the African, not a real citizen. When he got millions to believe that nonsense, he realized he could make those people believe ANYTHING.

All a con man needs is confidence and a scam. Trump had both.

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.

They are both financially secure and in Osteen-like prosperity ministry reasoning, attribute that to God rewarding their faith.
