(Israelis often have deeply different views, for...

On a recent posting by another member I was defending myself against a practical army of people being upset for showing that the bible has some rather nasty bits. Yet, when one of those same people riding in to defend biblical child murder started spewing some rather blatant antisemitic...

Is it Project Bluebeam? The Virgin Mary appears in the sky on the Ivory Coast, Africa a few days before Easter Sunday. Skip to 1:40 to see it. I wanted to add this note: Looking at comments here and on YouTube, I see that some people cannot see the Virgin Mary. That is very very odd to...
