Ok, two of these I remember vividly.

That's a different movie.

Not sure why my opinion is of any particular interest, but I would suggest a plain reading of Revelation reveals Yahweh still has a great interest in Israel as a nation and people. I doubt anyone could say definitively that the covenant was ended, especially since it was an everlasting covenant. I could easily be wrong, my G.A.S. having lapsed some time ago.

See, that's my problem. If it's history, it's not credible and the only reason to discuss it is politics.
If we're talking about doctrine, there's really nothing debatable about it. Yeah, God said this land is your land. Doctrinally. But history can't even document the existence of Abraham, never mind God. And if we're going to allow divine real estate transactions to determine land rights, there are probably a handful of Native American believers in the Great Spirit who have a problem or two with our current state borders.
Oh, but THEIR Great Spirit is not God. Got it.

I can't.
To me, even if you remove current politics from it, you get the following question:
"Can a nation claim land on the legal grounds that an Imaginary Being granted the land to an Imaginary Ancestor, sealed by self-mutilation at a date and time witnessed by no one but recorded for posterity after the fact by people living better than a thousand years later?
Pray tell, why should anyone who DOESN'T worship this god be bound by this bequest?

This thread is inherently political. Our only reason to examine the question at hand is steeped in politics.

Quick comment as I digest the latest posts (not exactly a priority): The article linked does not discuss anything resembling an idiom of permission. It says there are idioms. No duh.

Discussing idioms is not the same thing as discussing an idiom of permission.

"WTF" is sounded out in the preceding clue.

The ex-Muslim atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali recently announced her conversion to Christianity.
Her conversion story is steeped in politics, so it's impossible to discuss her story without discussing politics.
Ground rules: The validity of her political views are off limits. The validity of her religious views are.

I have not read her essay, nor have I listened to the video in the o.p. I will not comment until I do one or the other, preferably both.
In case you were wondering why I'm so quiet.

They played a couple, and each holds the distinction of being the longest serving actor in their role.

They were entertainers.
You've likely never seen their faces but almost certainly have heard their voices, especially if you've had kids or grandkids.

Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor were married for 18 years before Wayne's death in 2009. They met at work.

Kyrie Elaison is not English or Latin.
It's Greek.
Meanwhile you should look up the lyrics to Kyrie.

"'Black: Destitute of light, devoid of color. Enveloped in darkness, hence, utterly dismal or gloomy as, 'The future looked black.'"
"Pretty good with them words, ain't ya?"

"Yeah, man. That's something, all right."
