Lost a wedding ring, wedding band

Here's a query.
go bad to the NYC subway into Brooklyn, time: c.1969/70. ... on train going between Court Street and Coney Island ... lost at Court Street station... dropping on train as exiting, doors closed before realized.
a gold wedding band ... about a quarter inch wide, ... white gold "cuts" around the band.
Reward if returned ...
Ok, 45 years and probably long gone ... but stranger things have happened.

God MUST exist–as a definition not a being.

I've mentioned this several times.
There is a difference between "GOD" and deities of mythical origins.
The "GOD" comes from the reality that: thousands of years ago humans realized you cannot get something from ABSOLUTE nothing; so, if there is something, it had to have an origin.
The rational problem that emerged is that of infinity -- there is always one more step, one more element or source, and you can never get to "ABSOLUTE nothing" ... thus the universe and existence was designated as a circle whose starting point is hidden in the line defining the circle.
But that still left the "ABSOLUTE nothing" from which the circle emerged --that was designated GOD ... or, as the ancient Egyptians stated it, "The self begotten beginning".
God exists because energy and matter exist.
The idea that there must be design or intent is inferred, but not at all necessary for the existence of God.
Basically, God does not need to know we exist or even care.
The rules of nature are such that they create and destroy many things -- none of which are "necessary".  Thus "divine retribution" is a given for all forms of matter (humanity, and life in general, being just a form of matter and energy with only the energy portion being the ultimate indestructible.).

IF MONEY EQUALS “free” SPEECH

It is a valid point.  I would take exception to some of Kyle's phrasing.
The argument is this: If I can talk you in to doing something, or express an opinion on something, it is equally valid if I say it, write it, or use money to express it.
Therefore, if I can "woo" a girl into bed, buy her candy/flower/jewelry/diner/drinks to get her to bed, then it follows that I can just hand her the money to achieve the same goal and objective (QED Prostitution is a date where the girl rather than a third party get the money).
Now the same argument goes down the line -- I can give the money to a third party -- a PAC or something -- therefore I can give it directly to the beneficiary of that third party function, with the same strings attached, or same objective in mind.
Money is speech and there is no rational justification to have a third party relay the message in some instances and not in others.  As with any law, the burden is on the legislature to establish an overwhelming social benefit in restricting speech (transfer of finances).  HUM!  Interesting idea -- if two parties are forbidden contact by the court, no money transfer (speech) is allowed.  Therefore, the Supreme Court ruling also forbids Alimony and child support where a protection or, or no contact order, exists.

Effectively, the child support orders and alimony are court ordered speech of a specific type and nature – equivalent to ordering someone to proclaim the validity of, and support for, an enemy government.

It will be fun to see how this plays out …

Pope Francis to Shun Popemobile on Mideast Trip: Vatican – because he read Saint Paul’s Joke

Because he read “Saint Paul’s Joke” – which is part of the official Vatican Archives -- Pope Francis I is going to Shun Popemobile on Mideast Trip.

Why?

The 900 year old St Malachy Prophecy said the Benedict was the last but one in the lines of popes.  Rome is to be destroyed in period of 112th Malachy Pope.

So … if you want to break the prophecy resign and the 112th Pope survives.  Or, the true 112th pope comes after him and Rome survives – the Vatican survives, and the religion survives.

If Francis IS the 112th pope, he is INVINCIBLE.  He must be alive when Rome is destroyed – or the Malachy prophecy is broken.  So, the worst thing that can happen, Francis is assassinated and the prophecy is broken.  But it all depends on whether of not Francis qualified as an ‘anti-pope’ … a pope who is not really official.  There have been several in history and they have not disrupted the Malachy list.

“Saint Paul’s Joke” – Francis must behave like Peter to be the Peter of the prophecy.  He must also die after Pope Benedict, or he could qualify as an anti-pope within the tradition of papal succession.   Thus, so long as Benedict lives, and Rome is not destroyed, Francis is INVINCIBLE.  He has no need for a popemobile.

Why Washington DC will fall

“Death Over Life” is the choice of the destruction of Washington DC (possibly “Babylon the great city” in the Book of Revelation) and the continued survival of America as a great nation.

Those who read “Death Over Life” and/or “The Tea Party: America upended” know where the problem lies and what needs to be done before 2015 to prevent the prophecy from applying to America.

For the world – it really doesn’t matter … assuming, in economic terms, they position themselves properly.

America hates education – the Creationist movement proved that.

first solar eclipse of 2014

New report “the first solar eclipse of 2014. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between Earth and the sun.  Total eclipses, which produce the “diamond ring” effect, happen when the moon is closer to Earth and precisely covers the sun. For annular eclipses, the moon is a tiny bit further from earth, but still fits within the sun’s disc and has a skosh more room. Thus a “ring of fire” forms around moon’s silhouette.”

This is a non-central annular eclipse – and in the 5,000-year period from 2000 B.C. to 3000 AD, the earth only sees 68 non-central versions out of 3,956 annular eclipses.

“Death Over Life” – aside from the Four Blood Moons which occur on Hebrew Holidays between April 2014 and September 2015, we now have a one in 58 occurrence of this type of eclipse … narrow it down to the number until 2100AD and we are looking at something closer to 1:56 … where 56 is an important astronomical number in terms of ancient Stonehenge and the Book of Genesis … as was explained in the book “Genesis of Genesis”.

Get ready to see “Saint Paul’s Joke” in action – The Vatican and Rome are coming into the sniper’s sights.

Gay Marriage or Same-Sex Marriage

Have you ever noticed, when speaking of Gay Marriage or Same-Sex Marriage the term “Gay” seems to apply only to male homosexuals?  The reference is to the LGBT community – indicating that there are three types of non-heterosexual, or non-birth-gender consistent, ways to be sexually identified: Lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender.

"Saint Paul's Joke" points out that there is NO biblical basis for being anti-gay ... the only laws (Leviticus etc) involve males ... and then only when they are bi-sexual. There are NO laws dealing with females and therefore nothing against homosexuality.

So "abominations" are mentioned in New Testament texts, but they refer to Old Testament Laws, and also carry the admonition that, if you adopt any of the old laws you MUST adopt ALL of them. 
Jesus and Peter spoke to the circumcised Israelites & Hebrews, Paul spoke to the Gentiles. Paul mandated that new convert males be exempted from circumcision -- but also that they obey ALL the Laws.

Gentiles couldn't even criticize a Jew who disobeyed or ignored the laws -- unless they themselves obeyed all 613.  Of course, the ultimate form of criticism is anti-Semitism; among other things, among other specific teachings of Jesus, that means the Inquisition condemned all participants – as did the Holocaust and any neo-Nazis movements.

[Note the Vatican studied multiple pre-publication copies of "Saint Paul's Joke" for two months, they added them to archives and Pope decided he was better being a rich man on earth, so he planned his retirement; when book was published he announced it].

To assert a Religious basis for being anti-gay, or anti-gay marriage goes against the western Bible.  Those who subscribe to other religions have their own texts, and are strictly bound by those texts.  But, in the case of the Koran, the anti-Semitism also applies – to be anti-Semitic is to attack and possibly allow the killing of, a Jew for being a Jew.  Jesus, who in the Koran is Isa, was, is, and always will be, a Jew.  Thus, any anti-Semitism is actually an attempt to kill Jesus/Isa before he has the chance to come to power.

If we were to exclude Jesus from his Christian status and allow the status of Prophet, as granted by Islam, then Isa could be a separate entity and conform to the Hebrew Messiah.  But it remains that anti-Semitism, directed at the Hebrew community (some Arabs are also Semites), is still an attempt to kill the Messiah.  Which brings us back to the doctrine of Paul to the Gentiles:

At a time when even the Emperor of Rome publicly married a boy, Paul not only did NOT condemn it, he told his followers that, if they really needed sex, than they had to marry. Thus there is an argument that the New Testament mandates gay weddings if the gay cannot be celibate.
