SUPREME COURT: No limiting church attendance to protect people from a pandemic, people have a right to religious gathering even if it puts others in danger.

GOD: build πŸ‘ a πŸ‘ parapet πŸ‘ for πŸ‘ your πŸ‘ roof πŸ‘
"You shall make a parapet for your roof, so that you do not being bloodguilt on your house if anyone should fall from it"

Dev. 22:8

We are *commanded* to take positive action to protect others from harm caused by our negligence. Stay home.
When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox is not to be punished.
If, however, that ox has been in the habit of goring, and its owner, though warned, has failed to guard it, and it kills a man or a womanβ€”the ox shall be stoned and its owner, too, shall be put to death.

Ex. 21:28-29
If you cannot know that something in your control will cause harm, then you are not at fault for unpredictable harm caused to another. If you *knew*, though, and you did nothing to prevent harm being done to another, then you are at fault. Covid is a goring ox. Stay home.

Is it well known just how easy it is to make homemade cranberry sauce? Is this a thing everyone knows? Because it is super easy.
How To Make Cranberry Sauce Without Measuring Anything:
Get some fresh cranberries. Rinse then really well, they probably have leaves on them. Put them in a pot.

Cover them with a liquid. Fruit juice works very well. Water is fine. You want enough that all the cranberries float.
Add a lot of sugar. Just about any kind of sugar works. Granulated? Classic. Brown? Yes, it'll taste more earthy. Honey, or agave, or brown rice syrup? Oh heck yeah, old school. Powdered? Okay, maybe not the best, but it might work.

The Gemara says that when "God called the light day, and the darkness God called night", it doesn't mean God named them that, it means God called them like you call your friend. So God is like "Hey, Light!" And Light says "Hineni."
"Light," says God, "I need you to Do Stuff in the day. Where's that other guy? Hey, Darkness! Where are you?" Darkness pops in and says "Hineni!" "Darkness," says God, "I need you to Do Stuff in the night. You guys got that?"
Darkness and Light look at each other and say "Uh... Sure, no problem, you're the boss. Just one thing - what's 'day' and what's 'night'?"

Let's talk about the use of trolling tactics as a means of proselytizing.

1. Framing proselytizing as an invitation to "debate".

I put "debate" in quotes because this won't be an actual debate. He'll ignore anything that shows his 'facts' are opinions or disproves his claims and just bulldoze forward or change the subject. He'll pretend that counterpoints just didn't exist. He's already doing it
This is not a new thing. Christian proselytizers have been doing this for around 1000 years. It's always a trap.

Okay, since you insist on continuing to push your beliefs at me, despite my having made it clear I'm uninterested, let me be blunt about what I think about those beliefs and why. I think they are based on, not just misinterpretation, but a perversion of my religion.
The Torah, which means "teaching", is extremely clear about what God wants humans to do. God wants us to pursue justice, welcome the stranger and treat them well, care for the powerless and vulnerable and act towards one another with lovingkindness.
The thing that the Torah warns against, over and over, is idol worship. Don't put anything between you and me, says God. Don't think that what you are supposed to do is sacrifice your children to me, or put your energy into worshipping something. What I want is for you to Do Good

Alright, there's a few of these out there, but I'm going to do this too. Non-Jews only, QT your replies.
What's this?
What is this used for?

You already packed the court. That's what holding vacancies open for nearly a *year* under a Democratic president so that they can be filled by a Republican is. That's court packing. What we're going to do now is expand the courts.
Something we're WAY overdue for, by the way, and something that "originalists" ought to love. The size of the Supreme Court isn't fixed in the Constitution, precisely because it's meant to be adjusted to fit the needs of the country as it grows.
The court hasn't been expanded in over a hundred years, despite dramatic growth in population and the size of the federal court system. We're overdue.
