​Liberalism was based on the false premise that liberalism in itself was a good thing but too much liberalism leads to the law of the jungle.

​Classical Liberalism is just Conservatism by a different name. They are just putting stagnant water into new bottles. Both have failed.

​Liberalism/Conservatism is the current political orthodoxy which has failed. It is the elephant in the room and it has died.

​If the stories are from divine revelation, aren't we supposed to take them seriously, @chrishoward8473?

​@chrishoward8473 Even if the shroud of Turin really bore the imprint of the face of Jesus, this doesn't make Jesus God, does it, @Neal_Daedalus?
