Wondering if the taxes on sunshine will be heavier than the taxes on cloud cover, or breathing.

but it is illegal to be in the sunshine if you do not use sun-block as you will be guilty of vitamin D theft as one does no have a permit to avoid said sun-block.

I’d be first in line to comply with that edict! First in line to smack the enforcer in the face with a 2×4.

How did our ancestors ever survive without these geniuses telling them how to live?

No joke. When I read the writings of the Founding Fathers, putting aside their obvious faults they must have had more oxygen in the air or something because they make the average person in the USA today look like a brain dead zombie. We are so far INTO the Communist Manifesto and so far AWAY FROM the Constitution it nuts.

Maybe not as much "pollution" or "vaxines," so their brains still functioned. 😉😊😋

Well, actually, the Constitution was only meant to help if we could keep it. Obviously, we couldn't. But I know something that is perfect and kept without our lame efforts... the word of truth, rightly divided (2 Tim 2:15 KJB).

My issue with your belief is this: first off, one pastor after another will take and "interpret" that statement the way he sees fit. The next issue is all of the different denominations. I've lost track of the total because there are new ones popping up all the time. The next issue is which "bible" to use. The old testament is LOADED with genocide where some "chosen" people are given freedom by "god" to destroy every inhabitant in a given location which makes no legitimate sense. Why would the creator of all these people put one at war against the other. God gave us REASON, not religion. My bible is worn out from use. There is so many contradictions I lost track. Basically we are all on our own. Psychopathic control freak parasites rule the world and it appears that God just doesn't care.

There is so much I'd like to say, but I'm stuck in a current project where I won't be able to write for awhile. Basically, the contradictions you see are because you don't understand the Pauline mystery. The King James Bible is the only Bible without error, every jot and tittle inspired by the Holy Spirit, but if you don't know how to rightly divide it, contradictions will arise. The key is to divide the mystery from prophecy. Everything I've written on Substack assumes the division. Contradictions fade away.

I simply believe what is said, where it says it, and to whom it says it. Christ is the fulfillment of the law and is currently giving us grace. But this could end any day. Take a look at some of my posts. You won't be disappointed. Also, keep the comments coming.

Boris, it happens because people are complacent! They would lay down with a good ole fashion piece of chocolate and sip of java, before they would bend over and help their neighbor out of a hairy situation, or any situation!

You didn't know that government owns the rain? Where have you been? I discussed this in my 2021 book "Overregulated: The crazy history of the phony 'Era of Deregulation' meme, and the true story of the Overregulation of America."

Agenda 21...and the aim is by 2030...all natural resources will be owned by the state....

The issue I have with this is that the "state" is a fiction and can't really own anything. It is PEOPLE (parasites to be more precise) and we need to start letting them know we don't want to play their games anymore.

The problem is over the past 20 years every small town has been infiltrated by this nonsense in the form of consultants and our zoning …remember the “charettes’ they ran..

Lol - Lion, you are like a giant red hot poker, a super long wooden spoon, a thorn in the side - Don't even get me started...water, air, electricity, all free. Unlike sex, if you have it, one way or another, you will pay the price!

I would definitely be concerned with the type of material the water is running off of asphalt types of metals clay. PH of water. Plus bird and rodent waste. Gravity fed or pump assisted. Regardless you definitely need a method to purify if used for drinking showering. If gardens wouldn’t care. Hot climate , cold climate. Cold freezing water pipes etc unless your below frost line. Summertime make sure containment is dark. Certain bacteria’s thrive from 78-128 degrees. Molds etc. water is huge u can go weeks without food 3 days without water game over.

“I would definitely be concerned with the type of material the water is running off of” I would to. It’s called common sense.

"...if you intend to use the rainwater outside of your household, such as sharing it with another family, a permit must be obtained."

So if I want to use it in a water pistol fight with a bunch of kids, I need a water permit, a water pistol permit, an event-planning and a re-indoctrination interview if any of the kids are different race from mine, right?

I would be laughing out loud here if it weren't so painfully obvious that we are bloody well paying for all of them to keep on producing this horsepuckey.
