@TLMBoymoder NK also only has the weapons it does because China puts billions into its military.

@DavidStandeven I'm a Knight of Columbus but am barely invovled (I am 2 years behind on dues). The members are 50/50, old adjunct community college professors who go for the free beer and people heavily invovled who treat it like a role in the local government. lol (Random thought)

@Smith_Everitt He was a sophist. He would trap 18 and 19 year old college freshman in fallacious arguments to force agreement. Yes his championship of free speech was good. But the way he went about it was a grift and rhetorically fallacious.

@hawiaancovefe I don’t really care. It doesn’t affect his politics. Freemasonry was socially expected among men of a certain class in 19th century America.

@OrthodoxOrigen He applied to a lodge before his election but backed out after announcing his presidency to avoid scandals, and after the war he expressed interest of joining a lodge again, but died before he could, despite this Masons still to this day Champion Lincoln as a freemason in spirit.

@hawiaancovefe Lincoln wasn’t a Mason. Apparently he was interested in their movement and had a positive opinion of them, but he was never initiated

@OrthodoxOrigen Is that why Lodges consider him as a champion of Freemasonry? Because I'm making it up? Are you sure about that?

@Smith_Everitt Now this aside, I really don’t think Kirk was a model citizen or virtuous example in any meaningful way.

@OrthodoxOrigen @hawiaancovefe @Smith_Everitt "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." - Lincoln

@OrthodoxOrigen That Lincoln is raised up about as high on the freemason's pedestal.

@hill_marku47259 @GamerMydden @JohnBrownsBody8 Unless the heterosexual extramarital affair involved some kind of lifelong commitment and involved the plan to reserve sexual intercourse for reproduction Yes they are the same in the eyes of the Church.
