Hobby Lobby founder revealed to be behind effort to "rebrand Jesus" | Salon.com

Sabine Hossenfelder - What's Going Wrong in Particle Physics?
racocn8 comments on Feb 11, 2023:
Disproving proposed theories should not be looked at as a failure, but rather as a success. One of the beautiful things about science is when it works to self-correct. How often does that happen with religious or political institutions? It's good that Hossenfelder has a point of view and puts it out there. I don't believe her examples support her argument. Scientists can't always make true predictions, especially for such an esoteric field. Maybe the money could be better spent, but these projects are often joint international efforts, and the work does generate spin-offs. Mis-spending money on these ventures doesn't seem to be in the top ten offenses our society makes. Hossenfelder doesn't substantiate her arguments beyond a negative portrayal, and appears to have a surreptitious agenda that motivates her complaint.

The accusation of Israel as being apartheid falls flat in comparison to the repression of Islam. The accusation of apartheid sought to shame the Israelis into concessions and to provide bigots (like Carter) with a disguised way to shout their anti-Semitism. However, no concessions would be forthcoming while Palestinians pursued their endless Intifada. And surrounding Arab states have found cooperating with Israel is more profitable than supporting the Palestinians with isolation.

What Comforts You as an Atheist While Enduring Suffering
racocn8 comments on Feb 10, 2023:
Suffering may well cause believers to question their belief, as well they should. Many unbelievers do come with a background where they suffered grievously. Evil and suffering provide basic challenges to the conventional definition of a God that is involved and cares. Suffering that causes one to question faith may also cause cognitive dissonance, paradox and unresolvable trauma.

We are facing a concerted propaganda campaign (partly funded by Putin) to balkanize the West. Part of this campaign acts to radicalize the Evangelicals.

The claim is just a false, and just as specious. Facts are excluded from evidence; facts like the prevailing beliefs have been polytheistic throughout history, with monotheism always being a small minority. It is tedious to have to encounter this nonsense knowing that most people will read it uncritically....

Anyone have any thoughts on the diversity of experiences?
racocn8 comments on Feb 9, 2023:
By experience I'll assume what our senses or consciousness is focused on. One may focus on a person, another organism, a scene, an environment, etc.. One may experience ideas and consider the many kinds of ideas, logic, math, music, artistic, factual, fictitious, and the many other dimensions. One experiences through their senses, and an experience can be the interacting responses to sensory stimuli. (Maybe a steaming, hot fudge sundae with maraschino cherry...) Internally, we have the malleable states of consciousness; emotionally: depression, elation, love, hate, paranoia, awe, euphoria, humor, projection, empathy, surprise, etc. We also have the altered states of consciousness: dreaming, reverie, out-of-body-experiences, meditative states, drug states and hallucinations of all sorts, coincidence, and....(?) What should we make of all this? What parts of my matrix will I visit today? (And yet I wish for more. Drugs are scary and the intoxication not always enjoyable. Can I go anywhere that will get my mind off my mortality? Emotional cycling invariably includes droll and tedious depression. Love is always a welcome relief. Hard to stay focused on that.)

Meaning, as in the meaning of life, is another loaded yet empty term coming from the religious hucksters. Other loaded yet meaningless terms: love, god, free will, faith, spirit, soul, divine, etc. Relying on these misnomers is a fools errand or mental masturbation. We retain the use of these terms at our peril insofar as lacking meaning, they cannot be used to convey meaning. As always, being human, our humanity can lock us into limited perspectives. Ultimately, these words only have value to the extent that they do have common, mutually understood meaning. Being so clumsy, the definition gets discussed and that's as far as it usually CAN go. Want meaning? Take your pick.

racocn8 comments on Feb 3, 2023:
That is correct. Humanism is a 'world view' that incorporates values into its guidelines, while atheism is a statement of non-belief in the various gods espoused by religion. What is most important is that atheism (and the Secular Humanism associated with it) aren't locked into moral framework based on bigotry, paranoia, lying, absurd dogma and mass murder. Religionists ARE locked into their primitive, sometimes idiotic beliefs, and compelled to be loyal to attitudes embracing hatred and cruelty. That makes religionists moral degenerates, and we read about the consequences every day. It also makes religionists know-nothings and thus unfit to render judgment on almost everything.

racocn8 comments on Feb 2, 2023:
Technically, hemp appears to be legal in Australia. Hemp can used to produce CBD which has demand on account of its effects. However, CBD comes from a acidic precursor, CBDA, and hemp plants in their native form produce CBDA. The CBDA can then be extracted and heated to decarboxylate the CBDA into CBD. What is little known is that CBDA quells nausea with great efficacy. The anti-nausea effect of CBDA works by the CBDA being bound and activating the 5-HT1A receptors, rather than interacting with the CB1 or CB2 receptors. In studies with rats, researchers found the anti-nausea activity of CBDA had 100 to 1000 times more effect that either CBD or THC.(1) This activity may be related to increased concentrations of Palmitoyl Ethanolamide (PEA) or Oleoylethanolamide (OEA), both of which have been identified as endocannabinoids. This is remarkable because the anti-nausea effects of both CBD and THC are well known. THC reduces nausea by binding and activating the CB1 receptor. Both CBD and CBDA reduce nausea without drowsiness or intoxication. (1) Rock EM, Parker LA.

Would you want to live to be 500 years old?
racocn8 comments on Jan 28, 2023:
Yes, if.... (if for 98% of that time, my body was no worse than it was a 60. Or, maybe an artificially grown body, maybe like in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.)
I just dropped across this piece of religious apologetics, which I thought I would share.
racocn8 comments on Jan 28, 2023:
Whoever said that must be unfamiliar with Richard Dawkins's presentations. Hitchen's often railed against genital mutilation and I'm sure there was no difference in their views. Religious people cause the death or impairment of their children far too often for anyone not to know about it. Do I even need to bring up priests? Or the treatment of indigenous children by Christians?
