Religion doesn't affect a persons DNA, but it does affect a persons mindset and crowd of people they are affiliated with..

[Steve MacLeod]

The people should be allowed to rule themselves based on the rule of law; decided upon by locally elected representatives. The constitution is supposed to limit the power of the government, but unfortunately it has failed to do so. The deceleration of Independence and Bill of rights gave Americans the right to everything they need to uphold that law and protect themselves, their families and their communities.

Too many Americans want to cede those rights and responsibilities to the government

I checked out this picture since I was searching for online earning ways. Than I got GenPayOne. Dollars do not issue to me I am earning more than 3200$ in a 30 days By using GenPayOne. You have to spend 60 min in a day with them. GenPayOne is superb technique to earn online. I would suggest you GenPayOne just google GenPayOne.

never said you can't convert, they just don't accept it as much, ive been to a synagogue talked to the rabbi and he was the one that told me this. that is also why if you ask a jew "what are you" they say Jewish, they won't say Irish, or Italian, or German they will say "i am Jewish"

[Julian Silva]

I'm Sephardim, my ancestors are mariscos. lol. It's not a race, it's many different races, no, you can convert if you wish, plenty of gentiles have, you just are not allowed to certain rites that jews by birth are, however, the children of a convert who are circumcised/born into the religion are.

[imsorobo]

okay, go talk to a jew, it's a race to them, i think it's a religion but it's known as a race, only way you can be jew is by mother they dont really accept jew that convert.

[Julian Silva]

Being a Jew is a religion. There's many ethnic groups that have practised Judaism traditionally though... Sephardim, Ashkenazim, Romaniotes and the mizrahim(eastern) groups of Persia, Arabia, Russia, etc. Judaism is a religion, not a race, however, chances are that if you're not a convert/gentile, you're from one of these groups.

[metalboostable]

No, look at what really happened, you are still stuck in the idea that some sort of Regulations recovered the economy, but this is as Woods layed out not the case. Stick to the truth, and not the keynes theory crap.

Make up your mind and find the truth in Mises' theories!

[rnbpl]

Maybe you're right but what would you do about it? Disliking them and not associating yourself with that kind of people is the farthest you should go, anything else would be to coerce. As for politics, that's a hard topic, I'd say it's bad in itself. The only thing that may make sense is to prevent politicians from lying (which is impossible in practice), other than that, who should have the power to say who should or should not be allowed to rule?

[Steve MacLeod]

Its true, but if you take an oath to a group of people, that should bar you from being in politics or government in America or any other country.

Also these secret societies are on record saying they want a one world socialist government with them at the helm, making the decisions for the rest of humanity.

The Freemasons at the highest levels are secular humanists, they believe they have the wisdom of gods.

Anything that needs to be done in secret is not good for humanity as a whole.

[rnbpl]

That's cool but the key of everything is that you're okay with them so as long as they don't mess with you. If they want to have secret meetings and do some rituals that only make sense in their context, so be it, as long as they don't mess with the rest of us. That's how I see it, that's the beauty of liberalism.
