Moses didn't "find" his laws. They weren't there scattered at the feet of the burning bush keeping warm from it's cold flame. His laws were given to him. The Prophet, from Gabriel.

That is, of course, taking their own words at face value. Once could argue all of those laws were concocted with keeping the power they would engender in their own hands. Cynicism.

I guess it isn't exactly a Catch-22. Enough to draw the inference though. Locked out on the once class will prevent you from modifying any member of that class. I have to CREATE.

The asteroid peddlers complained that they couldn’t bare the cost of shipping us the part we needed to repair our pre-Code biosphere. They were pushing us to buy a new, more profit

Oh no. I forgot to get the offered pain reliever. I knew I was going to need it at some point and that point is now. The only remedy at hand is to go deeper into the rabbit hole.

Not that I am complaining. I am. But the decor has gotten my interest and that the first thing of interest for me in a long time. It is good to not be constrained to pairs or evens

Priority looked so dashing in his walnut shell tuxedo rental. I had had qualms about the choice of pastels but I got to admit they pulled it off. Cousin David had to be himself by

The wine will have to tide us over until the liquor arrives in force. There's a cluster over by the dividing wall working their way through a bottle of mezcal. But otherwise, wine

It was a matter of availability. Who had what where they were. We just happened to have an abandoned town full of high powered munitions for the taking. They had warehouses full of

In a sense, the tides rising for her, rose our boats as well. We might not have wanted to see that but it was true. We might not have her unique setup but where we could, we caught

The only rights you have are the rights the moment affords you. I had somehow gone from innocent bystander to having just, most likely, killed 2 combat geared Federal agents with a

That the sniper knew that I could see him says to me that he didn't consider me a threat. I probably wouldn't have been until I noticed who his targets were. Collateral damage they

I've mentioned before that when I was being inculcated with religion, I always thought we, the Christians, were intent on preventing the anti-christ. Not doing our best to bring it

I wonder sometimes if the Rapture will reach the International Space Station. If it did, how much of an issue would that be to those left behind on the station? What about airline

In the broadest of senses, Roman Catholicism is the closest contemporary version of Christendom, as it existed as an institution before the Reformation. It was on a Catholic door

In this discussion, it might be meritorious if we reverted to using the term Papist instead of Catholic. But with the stipulation that it be divorced from the negative connotations
