Putting OT in the subject DOES NOT magically make a post ON TOPIC!

No, it makes it OFF TOPIC, a convention arrived at to allow people
who have large sticks up their butts to killfile the threads. If
properly indicated as OT, a thread does not contain cooking
information, although topic drift could account for some cooking
information, or indeed information on anything at all. It is OFF
TOPIC after all.

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t
help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus
was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge
that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy
without condition, and then admit that we just don’t
want to do it.
