Journal smittyoneeach's Journal: "blame the right people, not just white people" 27
The good news is that, as non-whites themselves, their categorization of people by pigment cannot be considered prima facie racism. Less snarkily, there will be no improvement until we "redistribute power, not wealth", fustakrakich's cynical denials of the possibility be damned.

You still will not ever separate wealth from power... Never never never... Not as long as might makes right remains the rule of the day. And so far, in this physical universe, that's all there is. Your eternal pontificating notwithstanding. You are still ruled by biology. Life is a reaction, and so is your religion.

That mountain of s**t was created by the wealthy to protect their wealth, as only they have the power to make/enforce the rules. And besides, that mountain is no different than all the little molehills of s**t in every other center of power/wealth in the whole world. It grows only by our own submission to authority. In effect, the mountain is built by our own hands in the mistaken belief that we get a piece of the pie.
And no, I don't blame "white" people. I blame the dominant people no matter the color. And

By the way, you can separate sodium from the chloride, but in this present primitive state of our evolution, you cannot separate wealth from power any more than you can separate Yahweh from Allah, and until you are dead you cannot separate yourself from your biology and all its foibles. In fact, that is why power and wealth are still one single thing with two names and descriptions.

Take a Biochemistry class, and then attempt to convince me we are "primitive".
Also, after the repeatable experiment that goes from the periodic table to self-reproducing life is developed, I will take "evolution" more seriously. Right now, I rate it at "slightly less malarky than Global Warming", but I'm not going to go betting your paycheck on its veracity.

It took me one or two Surahs to tell the difference between Judeo-Christian and Mohammad's theology. But I may not be a representative sample.

It is no less plausible than your various deities creating life out of nothing. Most people just pick the story they were told as children, and that's what they stick with. It's an animal bonding thing. As for the 'global warming' thing you like to harp on, I figure you would sing a different tune if you were downwind of somebody's smokestack. And you kind of are. You're breathing Chinese smog right now.

I think the technical term here is non-sequitur.

Maybe you do things differently, but I measure time in seconds. minutes, hours, etc. Width is for something else entirely. You don't make sense, but you do seem somewhat entertaining. Are you somebody we all know?
Anyway, if god can exist forever, so can the universe. Maybe the universe is god. That would be very possible, as good as anything you people can come up with...

Regardless, the universe itself and its laws of physics has the same claim to 'infinite' as your man made deity.

However, IF the human mind is the upper boundary of all the things, THEN you're quite correct. But I don't subscribe to this conditional.

Therefore, asking what there was "before the universe" is an illogical question.
It exceeds the bounds of logic, yes.
