Columbus Day is a U.S. federal holiday commemorating the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492

. The holiday is observed annually on the second Monday of October. 

For decades, the holiday has been a source of significant controversy due to Columbus's violent actions toward Indigenous peoples and the subsequent era of European colonization that led to genocide, enslavement, and the decimation of native populations. In response, many cities and states have either replaced Columbus Day or observe it alongside Indigenous Peoples' Day.

To understand how something abstract can be definitively logical and truthful, one must consider that, within certain frameworks, truth is not based on correspondence with physical reality but on internal consistency and axioms

. Abstract concepts in formal systems like mathematics are considered true based on their logical structure, independent of any tangible evidence. This is a departure from the correspondence theory of truth, which defines truth by how well a statement reflects the external world. 

For abstract ideas, a coherence theory of truth is often applied, where truth is evaluated by how well a proposition fits within a specified logical system.

That is similar to God promising Jews Canaan as their promised land.

Islam is a religion that accepts all forms of technological progress, including advances in artificial intelligence. However, in the development of technology, Muslims are required to adapt to anticipate the negative or positive impacts that exist. Mars is a possibility and Muslims should be prepared to adapt.

The devil succeeded in getting Jesus crucified and sent him packing to heaven so that he could remain ruler of the world.

As 1 John 3:8 reminds us, "He who commits sin is of the devil." For this reason the New Testament describes Satan variously as "the ruler of this world" (Jn 12:31), "the god of this world" (2 Cor 4:4), and "the prince of the power of the air" (Eph 2:2).


Caiaphas, the chief priest whom the devil was using, did not relent in his evil plan to get Jesus crucified. After he succeeded in getting Jesus crucified, he buried him in a unmarked tomb.

How does the US social welfare policy compare to those of European democracies?


EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS REDISTRIBUTE income among their citizens on a much larger scale than does the U.S. government. European social pro- grams are more generous and reach a larger share of citizens. European tax systems are more progressive. European regulations designed to protect the poor are more intrusive.

You are misquoting Jesus when you give the reason for his mission.

“So why does jesus come? 

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”


in Jesus’s own words why he was sent by God.

Matthew 15:24 “He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

Why is math so abstract to the point of being jumbo jumbo?


ABSTRACTION IN MATHEMATICS What does it mean to say that mathematics is “abstract”? Mathematics is a self-contained system separated from the physical and social world: Mathematics uses everyday words, but their meaning is defined precisely in relation to other mathematical terms and not by their everyday meaning.

America lost 50,000 troops in the Vietnam. They were losing the war and the draft was necessary. But they lost the war anyways and had to withdraw in disgrace, just like they did in Afghanistan and Iraq after waging a twenty year war. Even here the draft was necessary to find Americans willing to fight.

The assertion that "rights are a result of laws not logic" aligns with the philosophical view that legal rights are not derived from logical principles but are established through legal systems, social conventions, and ethical theories that create binding entitlements. While logic is a tool to analyze and understand rights, actual rights are grounded in positive law—the rules created by governments and societies—rather than abstract logical truths.
