    Triple gods are notoriously hard to enumerate and the devil has so many alleged supernatural powers that he would be counted as a god in many interpretations.

    ...no. There is no sect of Christianity that counts the devil as a god. As for the trinity bit, all sects of christianity agree that it's still just one god. Some are trinitarian, some are unitarian, but even the trinitarians consider the three to be aspects, not separate entities.

    In short, only some one who is not a Christian would claim there is more than one god in Christianity.

    For good measure: No True Scotsman would be born in Moscow to Russian parents, either.

    You are what is wrong with this country. Your response to Obama's treasonous betrayal of the country is to start playing party politics.

    Are you seriously so stupid as to think you're doing anything other than enabling this shit? Is your point really that we shouldn't criticize Obama because Romney would have been worse? Really? Because that's what you're saying.

    And none of you folks ever bother to mention that these policies were started by the GOP

    I also tend not to remind people that water is wet or that the sky is blue because there is no reason to remind them. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO STARTED IT. What matters is who has the power to end it. Are you too stupid to see that? Are you so wrapped up in part politics that you actually think who started it matters now?

    THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS WHO CAN END IT.

    That is who we need to be yelling at.

    Sure, but only one of them is food. PERIOD. FULL STOP. The other is poison.

    It's also not hard to beat Taco Bell or McDonald's on a $/calorie basis. You don't actually know how to eat is the problem. You (and most people) have literally no freaking clue what should be in a meal. Who the hell eats a pound of strawberries in a sitting?

    Even where I live (on a tiny island where ALL food is imported), a cooked meal costs me less than $2 (a McDouble, also imported, is $2.50).
