If I wanted to leave now can I still get paid up to what I did?

Now, interestingly, here, in a ranking of worse to best state economies, Alaska was rated worse (despite its ranking in the OP for rich status). The oil thing must be oil and natural gas, otherwise Alaska wouldn't be 3rd.

That's the McDonals corporation and not each individually owned franchise and you can bet that the corp employees are paid far more than the burger flippers at each store, so whoever made up the numbers has no fricken clue what they're talking about.

Anway, for me:
Yes, not only is it accurate, but its value is dependent on its accuracy.  The whole thing rises and falls on whether or not the physical death and resurrection of Jesus is historically true - it is the center, the foundation, of the Christian faith.

if the Bible is not historically accurate, then the faith is worthless.


Now, interestingly, there are those who believe the Bible is historically accurate, but, dont care.  They have no interest in acting on its message.

Someone might believe the Bible is historically accurate, but it does not matter to them, or believe it it is not historically accruate, but it does matter to them - but there is nothing to select for that.

God chose the people; they didn't choose Him.  They followed out of fear, for He after all those plagues, was to be feared. Captivity was no fun but it looked better at times than the constant wandering, and even though they had with the offered wealth of Egypt.   40 years wandering, following fire and cloud.  Must have seemed endless, and was for those who began the journey.    

Just not catching the merciful God image, at this point in my reading.

Pitcairn Island.  The most Godly people on the planet, actually sought after by ship's captains and captains of industry everywhere.  One of the deserters of Mutiny of the Bounty fame is credited with giving rise to such a people.  He read the bible and taught from it, so it's a good survival manual.

The logistics of moving that many people must have been a nightmare.  They suffered and reverted and God didn't let them into the Promised Land.

It took 40 years to have all the disobedient ones die; only their descendants could see the promised land.  That was the punishment for slipping back to their old ways, collecting their gold to form the calf.  No mercy for being new to the faith, back in the day.

I'm not necessarily opposed to it depending on what the intended result was. I'm not overly keen on installing puppet governments any more than incompetent ones. I think Maliki was intended to be a puppet, but ended up being incompetent. I think it's a critical error trying to install western style democracies in places that have no interest and no philosophical basis for the concept. I think the world is best off to leave people to fight their own battles, while offering support for groups that have rational, humanitarian objectives. By support, I mean trade support. I don't mean military support.

I also recognize the problem of others offering military support. But there aren't easy answers to that when the US changes foreign policy concepts every 4-8 years.

Inaction mostly. Possibly because he was trying to change the government there, but I can't say for sure. I say intentionally, because he always seems to have an agenda for what he does. So I give the benefit of the doubt.

Motivation? There are too many possibilities. I doubt the intent was specifically what happened, but the long term probability is that something would overthrow the essentially unstable government that Bush created. I learned long ago not to try and assign motivations to people with much more inside information than I have.

Because it seems pretty obvious that the results of not keeping a significant force in Iraq would eventually lead to collapse one way or the other. The only thing that is surprising is the speed, not the result. To tell Maliki that he would keep a couple thousand troops made it impossible to get the agreement required. It would have been suicide for him, so he made his bed with Iran.

I don't know about that, after all He made them wander around for 40 years until the last of them died before letting their descendants enter the land he had promised.  And, don't forget the two sons of Aaron he killed instantly for a breach of ceremony.   Not too merciful with Moses either when after all Moses had done or tried to do, He only let him see but not set foot in the holy land.  I'm still not certain why Moses was even being punished, unless it was for being inept at handling all those people.   Maybe the whole story is a lesson in fear.  Fear doesn't work, except in the short term, and that's why God keeps losing them to their old  traditions and faith.

This is the part I take issue with. I believe Obama let the situation deteriorate intentionally. I'm not necessarily opposed to him doing that, by the way.
