Many thanks to Tom Ramsdell for revealing to us in the June/July issue that our blessed Lord is neither humane nor compassionate: “The vegetarian/vegan way of life is the truly humane, compassionate way of life.” Let’s check the record: Gen. 9:3: “Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all …

Did he have other children? The gravestone you pictured …
