I was a Jew. I attend Catholic Church now, with a Catholic man. Shall I become Catholic?

Sex to the Jews and Christians was an act occurring between a man and wife. People did not have Tinder two thousand years ago. In ancient Israel, men and their wives had sex. A woman was taken care of by her husband. It was desirable for a woman to be a virgin. If a woman was not a virgin and lied about it to her husband, she could be stoned to death. For thousands of years, people got married before or soon after they had sex. Sex before or outside of marriage is sinful, although the latter is more sinful.
We ought to marry before we have sex, but marrying the person after you have sex is not the worst of sins. A Christian can choose priesthood or family. In choosing family, they choose marriage.

I said people pay the government to do things for them. The implication here is that I understand the government does that which they cannot do or do not wish to do.
Government is what gets things done.
Government gets many things done, and many things not done. Some of what it does is good, some of what it does is bad. What are the bad things to you?

What is the likelihood of the government forgoing the money and power we give them? The last thing a government will do is say “fuck it” and leave. They are stuck there, like spat out gum stamped into a pavement.

What do you mean “how?” He is a business owner with one employee (himself). That is what “self employed” means.
Capitalism is for those who want to make money. Making money is not putting food on the table; it is having more than you need to live, and employing people to make you more money. They get less and you get more. Capitalists want nice cars, nice houses, nice businesses, and plenty of money in the bank. A communist can be a capitalist too. Bernie Sanders has three homes. He said his book made him money, and he can therefore afford three properties.

That makes you a self-employed capitalist.
How? Where are his employees?

To avoid a repeat of history. Everything the Jews do is done in self defence to prevent a repeat of history.
What repeat of history? This was 80 years ago. The people suffering now are their neighbors, and they are the monsters inflicting it. We will forget about the Holocaust soon.
Hamas has no army. Palestine has no military. Israel is “fighting” a people without a military. Is it right to bomb a people without a military?
We all know this is revenge. In the Old Testament, it says an eye for an eye. This is Jewish law. Jesus tried to bring light to their darkness when he, in Sermon on the Mount, said we should turn the other cheek. It does not mean we should allow ourselves to be killed, except when we have chosen to be martyred. What it means is that revenge is the old way.
Israel is bombing a neighbor with no army, and stopping them from receiving food. How can one justify a blockade on food for the civilians, many of whom are children? The Jews are showing us all their sickness, their wretched sickness.

It depends how we feel about it. Is it theft when our money is used for a service we want? Probably not. Is it theft when our money is used for a “service” or political endeavor (e.g., funding wars, immigration, etcetera) we don't want? It could be, but we apparently agree to this when we vote for the parties that do it. We are told that we need a country, that there is wealth and power in a nation with a large government. They say the bigger the country and government, the more powerful we are.
What I see is people unwilling to take care of their needs. This is why they have to pay the government to do it for them. The government also uses this money to do as it pleases. What are any of you going to do about it?

It might make more sense to murder adults who grew up to be Hitler.
Hitler was as human as the rest of us.
How many Hitlers are we willing to murder?

They saw how “popular” Francis was with the naysayers and want it to continue, without relenting on matters of abortion and marriage between man and woman. He is another pope from Latin America; he is the successor who also sympathizes with migrants.
A pope from Latin America, who was born in the melting pot of Chicago, is likely to be quite liberal in matters of country and race. He has probably seen ghetto types in Chicago, and impoverished Peruvians. His parents were immigrants. Francis saw the same in Buenos Aires. It's clever…choose a cardinal similar to Pope Francis, but make him more orthodox and traditional, and everyone should be happy. I believe Francis displeased the Catholic Church with his lack of traditionalism and casual, all too human presentation. They need someone who will be nice to migrants and who will be the Holy Father. The former is a compromise the Catholic Church can afford to make.

Another interesting fact is that he nationalized peruvian and his second last name is Martinez (a very common hispanic last name), meaning that he has hispanic roots. So, the ties to Latinamerica is very strong. I would say he's more hispanic than yankee.
He apparently has Spanish, Italian, and French roots. He may or may not have Native roots. This is always something to look out for when a person is from Central or South America. They say 25% of Perú “identifies” as indigenous. His surname is French. It is pronounced Pree-voh. I am surprised they are all calling him Pre-vost. Do people no longer have exposure to French? What do they teach in schools? I am 25, and they taught French in my school.

Why would you murder an infant Hitler? Do any of us have the benefit of hindsight? Even with it, infant Hitler would have been a sweet baby, and you would be a monster to murder a sweet baby.
With regard to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it seems Americans are dismissive of the evisceration of innocents. What does this tell us?
Despite their insensitivity, it was the Americans, the Christian Americans, who wanted to give the Nazis a trial in the aftermath of WWII. The Europeans and the American Jews wanted to go ahead and shoot them all, without trial. Alas, the trials were a farce.

Israel is happy with the status quo, and will be happier when Palestinians have been further decimated. Israel does not want one state with Palestinians, or two states.
The nation called Israel can do what it wants; it is best friends with America. Trump will allow Israel to continue its “war.” There is no one state and no two states.
