Religion has always been used as a tool to control the population.

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 13, 2020:

If you have ever felt a strong emotion, perhaps from a stirring piece of music, just that can be incredibly uplifting & seductive. They get a "high" like that at least several times a day from their religious feelings. To try & reduce it to dry intellectual stuff is just futile, never gonna happen.

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 12, 2020:

Go to a walk-in or other clinic, just describe your symptoms, do not mention the B-12 thing. Your "doctor" is an idiot, IMO. It sounds like severe anemia, which requires Rx iron supplements to get ahead of, and they take awhile to kick in, (then you can switch to over the counter kinds)...too much iron is dangerous too, do not self-medicate! I got this at age 13, lacked the energy to climb one flight of stairs to Latin class...I also got B-12 shots but that does not help anemia. Plus the anemia could be from some form of internal blood loss....I repeat, your doctor is an idiot!

Members, this is just reporting.

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 12, 2020:

Shame on you! False numbers re: both Iowa & NH. You are old enough to remember a vibrant, upwardly mobile Middle Class, and seen the tremendous decline since Reagan. You really, really think We the People are better off now, , & should keep going down this rabbit hole so multi-millionaires can be gazillionaires?

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 12, 2020:

That was "National Socialism" and that REVOLUTION" you fear so much, and Harp on, is simply a return to the days when the Middle Class was healthy, and people could aspire to be Upwardly Mobile. Until Reagan & "trickle down", it was working real well for most people, and there were plenty of rich people despite 80-90% taxes on them. Not exactly scary, now, is it? Your ignorance of our very recent history, and Bernie in particular, is Staggering, especially because you have lived through, and seen the awful effects of, the rise of the rapacious.
