Beowulfsfriend replies on May 30, 2020:
@Aristippus Doubtful, as most of the people who do see themselves as animals also see humans as superior beings/animals. There are a number of studies that show a very distinct percentage of people who hold to the theory of human dominance. Of course, religious people are even more likely to feel superior. Some cultures, not races, hold to a human based superiority as well.

@Fred_Snerd I, many years ago, was a member of the SDS. I even had a "signed" letter from Tom Hayden. It could have been a rubber stamp. About 5 years before I joined the Navy and got a top secret clearance. I wonder now-a-days, with computers if that clearance would have occurred. I lied about never being involved in such activities. The only thing I had to change in my NCIS interview was admitting to trying pot. I originally said no drug use.

I'm not surprised. I know that, especially in the heartland, Canada gas guns. Down in the states, too many just don't want responsibility and responsible gun ownership. Trying to talk to the gun nits can be difficult down here. I have a bit of an edge, being a veteran. I have talked about the Finns and how so many of them have guns, starting sometimes as early as 12. But there, they must be trained in proper use and safety; they laugh at us and for good reason. Also, I have even suggested- let us go back to 60's era gun laws, which made guns even easier to obtain, but had intensely different laws to enforce responsibility, including fining and sometimes imprisoning people who let their kids get a hold of guns and shoot and kill themselves or others, as well as not just saying it is okay to shoot someone because you felt fear.

I used to use it when teaching, prior to Branaugh's. I showed Titus to a group of better students once. I was out and another teacher just ran it. I came back and the kids said, "Mr. D, you forgot there was an orgy scene, didn't you?" I had, sort of. They assured me the teacher had switched it in and sat down at the desk, not watching anything. Eh. I wasn't worried. Private school where early on the parents expected and wanted a more advanced education. That slowly dissolved as the nation has gone over to the dark side of education is a means, not a value unto itself.

@prometheus They play in leagues, many are against other churches, but some put together teams to play at county level amateur teams. Rec leagues.
What are the most effective ways adults are recruited to religion and how do we stop them?
ToolGuy comments on May 3, 2020:
Is there an inverse correlation between a society organized along individualistic priorities and the growth of religious communities? Humans are social animals. We need one another but the priority of our economic systems says otherwise. Ayn Rand, Maggie Thatcher — there is no society only ...
Beowulfsfriend replies on May 3, 2020:
Social animals, correct, which is why, I believe, and I have only my own noting of this - new mega churches have free gyms and sports teams to join.

linxminx comments on May 3, 2020:
If christian males were forced to be accountable for their sexual promiscuity, abortion would be a non-issue. Of course it's a christian male responding to your post lecturing you about being pro-choice. Here is the real story: 62% of abortions come from practicing christians (54% of these are ...

Their churches fight against intelligent sex education and places like Planned Parenthood, even when the facts and statistics show large reduction in abortion when sex ed and birth control are readily available.

An old friend was in Turkey in 1969. He told me about seeing hashish getting mixed and such. Of course, buying or selling was illegal. He said you could go to some bars, buy a beer, rent a pipe, and break off a piece sitting in trays on the bar. I really doubt that exists today.

"Rainbow Connection" is a song from the 1979 film The Muppet Movie, with music and lyrics written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher. The song was performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) in the film. "Rainbow Connection" Williams and Ascher received an Academy Award nomination for Best ...
Beowulfsfriend replies on May 1, 2020:
When in the Navy, I met the half brother of Paul Williams. He was suing his brother over one of his hits. This guy apparently wrote most of it. A couple of years later he got some money.
Can't wait to see.

Beowulfsfriend replies on May 1, 2020:
He has given a bad name to socialism. He was no socialist. He gave out some handouts to the poorest groups to support him, took over the military, and ran drugs through his country enriching himself and his cronies. He was the epitome of a true capitalist.

Beowulfsfriend replies on May 1, 2020:
One of my old students worked with him in the Obama White House. She is outraged by the press, etc. I saw my student for the first time in eight years after she came home to visit her grandma, and then later take a job with our state government. She made me feel really good that night we bumped into each other at a play. She insisted on getting a selfie with me and adding to her others, including President Obama and "Joe." She always said President and Joe.
This is why some Christian's are looked upon with such disdain.
Gareth comments on Apr 30, 2020:
You could point out that since marriage is a sacrament and divorce isn't then in the eyes of God you are still married, and since the Bible doesn't condemn polygamy, you are still free to marry again. :)

That was my thought - many even allow rape in marriage.

@HippieChick58 I share the dying in pain fear, mostly because they won't shoot you up with plenty of morphine. Dying people should be allowed a morphine haze.

Why did the Navy release unknown radar incursions NOW? To deflect from Covid? Or the prez being stupid? Conspiracy theorists are as crazy as some religious fanatics. They KNOW aliens exist. Yea, right. Once again, ill stand over here and say prove it. Those blips are odd and even the Navy says they ...
Beowulfsfriend replies on Apr 28, 2020:
@Philip21 I see no way to prove a divine being. If a being shows up here and does "miricles" I will believe a superior being and alien, but even then, no proof of divinity is available. I can't even say, absolutely, that death could prove a divine force.

@273kelvin oh yea, the recording. I was interested in what films were in the clips pasted together.

And when they say "take me to your leader" we know where to take them. They can have him and good luck.
Beowulfsfriend replies on Apr 27, 2020:
Maybe a select group of leaders should be given over to appease them. I nominate tRump and Boris the spider and the guy in Brazil, along with, for a good measure Un and Xi. And, oh shit, how could i miss out on Putin. That is a half dozen. They could use their book "How to Serve Man" as advice.

Without it a forensic photographers authentication it is still just a random hoax video.
Beowulfsfriend replies on Apr 27, 2020:
@azzow2 I have no idea what the Navy saw, and neither does the Navy. It is odd that they came out with the stuff at this time. Maybe a distraction from the virus. Maybe they really do know and are not telling us. Could be another military branch testing something and not telling - that does happen.
I was discussing car repairs and I remembered this little anecdote from when my kids were teenagers.
barjoe comments on Apr 27, 2020:
I wish my dad was an atheist. He would've given me a religious beatdown and washed my mouth out with soap.
Beowulfsfriend replies on Apr 27, 2020:
I hate hypocrisy and would never punish anyone for swearing at something or an accident, etc. As a teacher, I only pointed out that it wasn't proper in certain places. Only once, maybe twice, did I punish a student for some swear words and I explained to them why - it wasn't the words, it was that they had used the words on someone else and I demanded that students give each other respect.

Sharia law is quite simply Abrahanic law- it differs little from what the fundie Jews and Christians follow - only more secular societies won't allow it to stone people or cut off hands, but they are still the same, the SAME. More moderate, or secular, Muslim countries are not much different from the Xtion ones.
