Spiritual but not religious

Diogenes comments on Apr 1, 2018:

I don't get this "spiritual" bit. To me it is just another excuse to believe the unbelievable. Nature 'is' and that is it. We have no idea how 'small' the universe is when compared to something else- but why not study the facts that are already available, instead of making up fairytale nonsense?

Yup he does cover-up comb overs too!

Diogenes comments on Jul 24, 2018:

From that photo, unlike the one of him showing total disrespect to the queen with him walking in front of her as if she wasn't even there- Putin is doing the same thing to the village idiot.

Diogenes comments on Jan 31, 2021:

Well Kathy had the last part right, in my opinion,if that matters, but to add to that thought, respect for Nature- and also the other residents of this rock, whether biped or quadruped. I am agnostic. I don't know and I will not claim any unsustainable answers. I do not know if there was a functioning brain that started all this. The last "Big Bang" was 14 billion years ago. How many have there been? Do they go back "trillions" of years?

To most Christians, the Bible is like a software license.

Diogenes comments on Mar 4, 2022:

The wiser mind mourns less for what age takes away than what it leaves behind.

Diogenes comments on Sep 13, 2018:

Good morning. I agree with that quote too. But being thoroughly "unwise", as I have been, is why I am constantly depressed. Old now, and know a few of the answers- but too old to do anything about it- either personal or financial. With all the criminals in this corrupt world, I have learned one thing, if a person wants to have lots of stolen money, be a common thief, like the Moron-for-Life.

Diogenes comments on Sep 3, 2022:

If a man is a geezer, like I am-- but have no interest in the 'geezer mentality'- that covers that issue. 'Yesterday' (not making up a good story) a 'young' couple, maybe in their 60s rode up to the Bakehouse on their bikes. They were very slim and '110%' toned. He said he had done 13 Boston Marathons. Then there are the geezers that are too lazy to get off their arsses. Death has the welcome mat out for them.

Diogenes comments on Oct 24, 2017:

I am in a coffee shop and my WiFi will be deleted if I type "'ucker". (How silly can it get?) I can think of lots of evil words: war, kill, god, lawyer, Bush, Trump. I have never figured out why 'uck is the archangel of evil communicating. I assume it was derived from the Nederlandse, "fokker", which is a vocation meaning "breeder" of horses, dogs, etc. The over use of it is not vulgar- it is boring- it is an indication of a lack of vocabulary. It is like the idiot whose only adjective is "great" or "The little boy walked down the little street in the little town with his little dog...."

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it......Voltaire.

Diogenes comments on Oct 1, 2018:

Mr. Voltaire maybe right in this situation. Trump has been straight-jacket ready for decades, and he believes, "Trump uber alles". Hitler managed to coerce an educated populace; all Trump has to do is 'inform' the idiots, they will 'willingly' howl and gibber on cue! When it goes far enough, you and me will be put to death by der fuehrer. Trump is committed 100% to his insanity.

A wonderful insight into Australian politics.

Diogenes comments on Jul 15, 2018:

This was about Oz politics. In Canada, 'or this side of the Water', we see very little about what goes on in Australia. But from what I could see from that video, it was about two fat clowns blabbing at the same time- and nothing was distinguishable. I guess that was your point?

This easily applies to the Trump White House ?

Maybe they are trying to get ahead of the next assault on intelligence, the 2018 event.

Probably sending them to Sunday-school, on the FIRST day of the week (thanks to Constantine, who couldn't celebrate the god-deal on the seventh day- like those evil Jews)For her, getting off to university and learning something would wreck her cloistered world; it might put thoughts into her empty head- and how in hell would she be able to handle that?

Religion is no more built in than agnosticism is not built in. There has never been any revelation from a super spook to tell us how or why this universe was formed.
