From your link:

He also described himself as a "Christ-loving atheist" in that same talk, and in a Palm Sunday sermon he gave at St. Clements Episcopal Church in New York City in 1980, he said he was "a Christ-worshipping agnostic." He belonged to no church, however, and made clear that he was not a Christian.

Makes perfect sense to me. I like the idea that a Jesus possibly existed. I also like good philosophy Teachers. But I am also more of Jesus loving agnostic. Because Jesus was no more the son of a god than any of us. He said He and the Father are one. Just as we are all one with the Father (or the Source).

"Billy Pilgrim" says the most important thing he learned on Tralfamadore" was that "when a person dies he only appearsto die. He is still very much alive in the past, present and future, always has existed, always will exist. . .When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in that particular moment, but that the person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what The Tralfamadoreans say about dead people, which is

So it goes.'"

Time. What a concept. He was closer to the truth than we knew at the Time. You think you live in the "now"? Turns out that's not actually possible.

But please, tell me again how Florida is such an attractive state.

Florida itself is a beautiful state. Or at least it was when I visited there. I was at Tyndall AFB and that area was gorgeous.

They just need better leaders. And they are coming. See representative Maxwell Frost (D) for details on that.

And to give DeSatan some credit he signed a social media law that limits what children can do in the internet until they are older. I think it was a terrible mistake to give our children unlimited access to the internet. It was an experiment we performed on our children and it has backfired miserably.

It's just too bad DeSatan passed it first. It prohibits children under the age of 14 from becoming social media account holders and allows 14- and 15-year-olds to become account holders with parental consent.

Hopefully other states will soon follow.

If you want to get into West Point or Annapolis a good path is to become an Eagle Scout.

I loved the Boy Scouts. They are definitely patriotic and it also gave me an edge in life and made me a better Marine.

Unfortunately it attracted the wrong kind of leaders because those kind of people tend to go to where the children are. But I personally did not encounter any of them. Fortunately I had very good scout leaders. Very very good.
