How does the “Great Businessman” compare with real successes? He started with an inheritance of around $400+ million, and maybe he was worth a billion before legal fees and fines and such. On the other hand, Jeff Bezos started from scratch in his garage, and now he is worth over $200 billion [although he has lousy taste in women]; Bill Gates used his brains to form what became Microsoft, and he is worth $130 billion. And there are many more such real businessmen. They used intelligence and hard work, neither of which is a Trump strong point.
One night as I slept, there came a vision of the hereafter to me: I was astonished to learn that everyone goes to the same place. In that place, all day long, every day, they listen to sermons and study the scriptures and sing hymns. It was then that I came to understand how that place, the Heaven of the truly godly, would be Hell for the rest of us. Such is the marvelous economy of that one they call God! [From the writings of John Blackfox]
There is a simple solution. Let us declare the embryo to be human on its 18th birthday, provided it has completed high school and has no police record. Up until that time, retroactive abortion should be an option for the parents.
By the way, both John Blackfox and I are atheists. We talked about such imaginary places for the fun of it. We have had no theological indoctrination. That is not something traditional among our people.

Thank you from a retired math professor. I insisted on actual thinking from my students.
