I don't know the exact spot you're talking about, but it IS the Horseshoe Falls so I think that means it's the Canadian side. We travelled hours and got to the Falls right at dark (dammit!) and saw them light it up. Pretty cool. Then we drove 17 hours home and me and a T/Trailer had a fight so bad he nearly flipped his truck and me in a little compact, so bad I scared even my brother!! (I wasn't! But to scare him? Didn't think it was possible!) Absolutely OT, but still so much fun to remember!! *big grin*

You guys have AWESOME wit!! Been loving this repartee! I believe in God and all such, but I don't think He hates gays (He did, after all, make so many of them!), and I bet He's laughing at all this too. God has to have a sense of humor, He made us w/ all our faults, and then even claimed we are in His image!! How can He be like all these puckerbutts think He is, all grouchy and killing ppl off? I bet even HE still gets off on seeing a sky full of stars or a newborn baby! Nah, I think He's just as cool as the best of us.

He's not "down with that", killing ppl. He AND the angels weep everytime someone gets killed, or a 10 year old boy gets dissed for joyously being what God made him to be, (or a plucky 7 y/o girl stands up in the face of a hateful CHRISTIAN preacher screeching at her and other pride participants), or any of a million billion other things we could think of. These religious freaks seem to think they can read God's mind. Too bad they're not busy reading the RED words in the Bible; I've heard they're all anyone ever needs to know of God. Too much Old Testament, not enough New Testament. Or at least not just the cherry picked parts that support them at the expense of everyone else.

First off, I'm glad you survived your impromptu Mad Max encounter. I've been driving for almost 40 years and semis STILL scare me.

You'll find all types here, from the devout to the firmly atheistic. And for the most part we try to respect each others' beliefs, reserving our ire for the wingnuts and haters and trolls, for those who use their 'faith' as a bludgeon and who insist that everyone else march in lockstep with them. And what looks like irreverence is generally snark being aimed at QUITE a different target. *grins*For what it's worth, I like your approach to your faith. It's a refreshing change from the constant butthurt one gets from your Huckabees and Grahams and Schlaflys and such. I mean, seriously, the creator of the universe is supposed to be a whiny baby who insists that everyone agree with BRYAN FISCHER? Your God, the one who is in on the joke and loves his creation unreservedly, is a deity I'd love to hang with. I hope he likes Iron Spike Blonde.

Thank you, I was reading the line to add that very point myself.

You mean lamb-out. I gotta get an invite to someone's house at sundown this month (trolls address app for Muslim aquaintances, finds they are all secularist and non-observant 😠 )

One of my wingnut acquaintances was complaining about this and put up a photo shop of the white house in three colors, Red, white, blue. It looked like a backwards French flag. Which I did not have the heart to point out.

So wait... Now she's saying Muslims ARE the hand of God at work?

I wish they'd make up their minds, these Christophiles.

When they quote wingnuts in text, I manage to read about half the text before my eyes cross and I have to skip to the analysis.

I hear it goes both ways.

And the Qur'an is kinder to Jesus' momma, too. She has her very own chapter to herself.

Muslims don't fast so they can murder people. They fast so they can PIG OUT at sundown and at month's end.
