Re: Phil Shoemaker, 10mm Tisas

I'll take a stab at it to keep the thread going until Phil shows up. I really enjoy reading bear stories. I have read every book I could get my hands on. While most man/bear encounters I have read of involved rifles, those involving pistols were settled in fewer shots than a 1911 holds. I simply don't think that at the ranges man/bear encounters take place the situations afford time for more well placed shots than a 1911 provides. Well placed is likely the reason for the 1911 preference. Simply something that he shoots well.
Tisas and other Turkish guns by most accounts are good, reliable guns at very good prices. I simply can't bring myself to buy a gun made in a country that supports terrorism.

Re: Do You Believe the Earth is 6000 Years Old?

There are several contradictory accounts of the tomb incident. ''There are other discrepancies, but this is enough. I should stress that some of these differences can scarcely be reconciled unless you want to do a lot of imaginative interpretive gymnastics, of the kind fundamentalists love to do, when reading the texts. For example, what does one do with the fact that the women apparently meet different persons at the tomb? In Mark it is one man, in Luke it is two men, and in Matthew it is one angel. The way this discrepancy is sometimes reconciled,by readers who can’t believe there could be a genuine discrepancy in the text, is by saying that the women actually met two angels at the tomb. Matthew mentions only one of them, but never denies there was a second one; moreover, the angels were in human guise, so Luke claims they were two men; Mark also mistakes the angels as men but mentions only one, not two, without denying there were two. And so the problem is easily solved! But it is solved in a very curious way indeed. This solution is saying, in effect, that what really happened is what is not narrated by any of the Gospels: for none of them mentions two angels! This way of interpreting the texts does so by writing a new text that is unlike any of the others, so as to reconcile them to one another. You are certainly free to write your own Gospel if that’s what you want to do, but I wonder if that is the best way to interpret the Gospels that you already have. https://ehrmanblog.org/fuller-account-of-resurrection-discrepancies/But explain where the body of Jesus went. We'll wait....... If the burial account is flawed, so is the rest of the story. A story that was written decades after whatever is described based on stories that were told and retold as the myth grew. Which is why Paul was not aware of some of the stories of Jesus the man - whom he had never seen in person - that were written in the gospels at a later time. ''No parables of the sheep and the goats, or the prodigal son, or the rich man and Lazarus, or the lost sheep, or the good Samaritan. In fact, no Jesus as teacher at all. No driving out evil spirits, or healing the invalid at Bethesda, or cleansing the lepers, or raising Lazarus, or other healing miracles. As far as Paul tells us, Jesus performed no miracles at all. No virgin birth, no Sermon on the Mount, no feeding the 5000, no public ministry, no cleansing the temple, no final words, and no Great Commission. Paul doesn’t even place Jesus within history—there’s nothing to connect Jesus with historical figures like Caesar Augustus, King Herod, or Pontius Pilate. Perhaps everyone to whom Paul wrote his letters knew all this already? Okay, but presumably they already knew about the crucifixion, and Paul mentions that 13 times. And the resurrection, which Paul mentions 14 times. Paul indirectly admits that he knew of no Jesus miracles. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles (1 Cor. 1:22–3) Why “a stumbling block”? Jesus did lots of miraculous “signs”—why didn’t Paul convince the Jews with these? Paul apparently didn’t know any. The Jesus of Paul is not the miracle worker that we see in the Jesus of the gospels.'' https://www.patheos.com/blogs/crossexamined/2012/12/what-did-paul-know-about-jesus-not-much/

Re: Browning A bolt stock question

I had mine replaced about 2 years ago. It’s a painted camo pattern like their current pattern. I can’t say that it is a great stock but it doesn’t really feel like a cheap Tupperware version either. There is no duratouch coating on it.
I’m pretty pleased with it. Hope this helps. Great rifle by the way

PS it only took about 2 months if I recall

Re: Got Kraft Pimento Cheese ???

Homemade pimento cheese for the win…
Coarse shredded sharp cheddar. Don’t buy the pre-shredded cheese, they put something in it to prevent clumping ..
Throw in diced jalepenos for an extra kick. You’re Pro-clumping? Potato starch is the common one now.

American Thinker reveals the globohomo shill strategy

"A Marxist globalist needs only one smart-sounding commie to create a wave of mockingbird mimickers eager to repeat exactly what the “lone genius” says" This is the approach behind MSDNC... More here. https://www.americanthinker.com/art...ification_of_the_state_s_propaganda.htmlTotalitarians always rise to power by preying on insecure people because, once mesmerized by the tyrant’s speech, eager repeaters become goose-stepping sycophants of the highest order. I recall a certain Band, there were a few hockey fan amongst the members, started playing certain riffs to evoke a programmed response.... Clearly they had been drinking and watching "Slap shot" one night because they would play the Pavlovian cue and the Ididn't idios in the audience would do a stupid little dance. I imagine that it was quite an ego boost for the band members. The media is no different.

I think that dam is doomed. The first videos of it on the news showed a crack and some seepage. The shots last night showed streams of water gushing from two places. Once water gets started, it's game over.
