Stuff drummed into people before they are able to think critically   tends to stay with them forever.
That is the advantage that Islam has: the five times daily prayers cause the mind to dredge up memories of prayer after prayer after prayer from childhood, effectively rendering the believer incapable of questioning the illogic of the belief structure.

Jesus said "Be as a young child" for a reason. The reason is to shut out reasoning. All religions do this to a point (those that didn't did not survive)  But with five times daily prayers, Isl;am does it better. It is self-indoctrination, which is the most effective kind.

"Believe or I will hit you with a stick" is far less effective than "Believe or I will cause your mind to bring up guilt every time it dares to think outside the box".

Ted Cruz said "Every president should start the day on his knees".
Cruz had a great education, but his mind is warped. His social skills are such that he has negative charisma with people who can see through his overindoctrinated personality.  The sucker craves martyrdom for his wacko beliefs. He is incapable of realizing that he is a wacko.

He is just quoting Lincoln there.

What is your better alternative ?

Want a president with no knowledge of humility ?

Oooops forgot , that is what I want now.

If that is a quote from Lincoln, it is a diumb quote, anyway.

How are prayer and humility linked?

There are thousands of people who feel superior BECAUSE the pray.

Four carmakers are still selling new cars with defective Takata airbags,

Mitsubishi, Toyota, Fiat Chrysler and Volkswagen.

If you are buying a new car you should check out the details online.

There are millions of vehicles that still have ammonium nitrate inflators that are essentially tiny bombs that can explode with so much force they can  send bits of metal into your jugular, which is not a good thing.

 

Magazines that sell ads advertising cars have not revealed the extent of this problem. The government has done a pretty good job of demanding action, but Takata cannot make enough inflators to cover the needs of the recall.

 

I observe that no political party has a word to say about this. Takata has settled with people its airbags have killed and maimed, always with a pledge of confidentiality regarding the amount awarded.

 

I read about this in an article in Bloomberg Magazine, that indicated that the Senate hearings had managed to pressure Takata (the airbag manufacturer) to reveal that "four car makers were still making airbags that will need to be replaced", but the magazine did not reveal WHICH four companies, so I googled it, and found that this was mentioned in a New York Times article.

 

If you have friends who are shopping for a car that do not deserve to have their jugulars sliced by airbag shrapnel, pass the word.
