Google fired James Damore for questioning a tenet of its beliefs.

Of course, this is quite true, even though Google per se has nothing approaching a "belief" ... not a one.

But I meant to comment on the paritcular heresy being condemned. I feel free to say that intellectual pursuits in general, and math and science in particular, have a male character, although this does not, of course, exclude women, categorically, from pursuing them. It's just kind of a Freudian thing.

My Mom was a big math brain, and a big influence for me, in fact my main model, even though my Dad was an engineer, and "Mr. Fixit", so you know, I got the best of both worlds!

I guess that makes me just about the most perfect and well adjusted individual imaginable!

I’m 65. I have already determined as to which and what my ‘religious beliefs’ are.

I have spent 10 years of my life defending every American citizens’ ‘religious beliefs’, without once asking them to align with mine. I expect the same of them, towards me.

Now, it seems that those who wish to corrupt the America I love, are dead-set to corrupt EVERYBODY’S ‘religious beliefs’.

These vermin need to be eradicated, like the rats that brought the black plague to Europe.

Unitarians win, Baptists lose. Quakers win, Mormons lose. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) triumphs over the Presbyterian Church in America. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America prevails over the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. It’s hard not to see this as an establishment of religion.

Interesting idea.

But if the Quakers won, would we still have an army?

A little more seriously, perhaps, I think those Quakers may be the recent converts in college towns and people who are liberals first and Friends second.

What the real heritage Quakers think and believe I don't know. Obviously, they're not Evangelicals in the way we've come to think of that group, and they don't like guns, but the longtime Quaker community seems to keep a very low profile.
