Border fence climbed in 18 seconds.....go Mexico!

Hard to do that when a 165gr .308 round burrows into your skull at 2300 f/s. It's going to make Mamacita think twice about sending little Maria over that wall when she see little Jose's head get turned into a canoe right in front of her.

Keep your fucking kids home and the snipers don't kill them is my policy.

You can get them at any Home Depot.....Lord knows Mexicans can find one of those.

See, this is why any finite being's attempt to create an omnipotent being is doomed to failure, whether that finite being is Gene Roddenberry or Uncle Albert. Never having been omnipotent, we find it difficult to impossible to perceive the mindset. With greater power comes a different scale of importance.

If you were all-powerful, you wouldn't allow yourself to be contained by structures created by mere finite beings. You'd no more care about "Mexicans" versus "Americans" than you would about ants.

Well, the interesting thing for me IS ants. Seasonally I have a (for lack of better term) infestation. And I'll spill some OJ or honey or something on the kitchen counter. Then I come back for coffee or something and the spot is black with a dozen or so ants. Before I even think about it, I squish them out with my thumb.

If there is a God of some sort who did in some way create the planet we live on, I could see him behaving in a similar manner: "Gah! Where did those things come from!? Me-dammit, they're fucking up my garden. Crap. Now I gotta go to Planet Depot and get some spray or an asteroid or something."

This is what really happened to the dinosaurs.

You're applying your own values to the problem. Of course you find that reasoning which supports your conclusion.

You're correct in that we can't create an infinite being. But, since you don't necessarily believe in a supreme being you also seem to assume that all finite beings' attempts to be in contact with a supreme being are doomed to failure as well.

The reason we fail is that we can't do it on our own. In Christianity, God reaches out to us and bridges that gap. The story of the Tower of Babel's most important point is probably just this. We can't reach God through our efforts.

As far as a supreme being's thoughts? Undoubtedly you're right in that we just don't fully understand what's going on there. A supreme might not care about different human races. I disagree, however, that you wouldn't care about humanity over ants. There's an explanation for why God cares for us is in the Bible, as well. Hey, people love their dogs quite a bit. Why wouldn't God love us?

In either case, just being a supreme being doesn't imply that you're above, so to speak, the concerns of lesser creatures, especially intelligent ones with which you have some connection.

I have said this many times. We need two fences at the border with a simple mine field in between. We can see how far they get in 18 seconds.

How about a minefield?

Refried Beaners!
