:By the way, I don't regard these complaints as provocations, but how do you invalidate something like that, after all.  If they're contrary to his interest in any way, Rob Smith will regard it as such, apparently.

::I didn't entitle this section "Rambling questions and complaints", someone else did.  It was moved over here from Talk:Main Page.  I wouldn't regard them as rambling at all.  I looked to Recent Changes, and the record didn't go back beyond 7 days.  So once again, I'm expected to absorb an insult, while others aren't held accountable for making them.  In fact the insult I mentioned about Ilhan Omar in mainspace still remains.  The very last item in Recent Changes had Andy Schlafly writing in the edit summary about a fellow who was benched two seasons and then made it big in the NFL.  Well, as long as that guy's happy (the guy to which Andy is referring), that's what matters, doesn't it.

::What I think is happening here is things have been rigged so certain people always end up successful or have the scales of equity tipped in their favor regardless of what just treatment would require.  And by "here" I meant worldwide.  I can't imagine manipulating my own opinion to attain certain fixed ends, but some people think that serves as a just treatment to their neighbors under God.  Or rather I can; I used to do it in matters of religious faith, but then I made a conscious decision to open my heart to my fellow Americans out of sympathy for miseries they might be experiencing through no fault of their own.  Today, I've come to the conclusion there was a lot of disordered self-pity involved on their part, and that I may have been gravely mistaken in undertaking such a willingness to let my belief float for the sake of love for my fellow man.

::But then I remember this, and I do it to heap coals on your head:
 +
 +
:::Hereby perceive we the love of God
 +
:::because he laid down his life for us:
 +
:::and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
 +
:::But whoso hath this world's good,
 +
:::and seeth his brother have need,
 +
:::and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him,
 +
:::how dwelleth the love of God in him?
 +
:::—1 John 3:16-17

::I think those influenced by Middle Eastern beliefs misuse Christians as oracles when they can't decide for themselves what to do.

::I think this oracle is closing shop.
