The artist, whoever he/she is, has above average ability. The painting is 'inspirational'--- even if the subject is quite obviously foolish as hell. What turn would the uneducated have if they saw that painting in, hypothetically, 1700 CE. But yes, the poor would not be found in galleries! "1991", no excuse!

No! It is important to read and see the 'moronic'- to see why it is that. But the instructor should ask easy basic questions, "Did anyone ever wave their 'magic wand' (or whatever he used) and feed the multitude, the 5,000?"

I too was indoctrinated by the "god manure" at an early age- and beaten on the first day of the week if basically, 'I moved'--- because Sunday was a day of rest-- in some moron's book The shameful part of this is that I still had this acquiesce in adulthood. It is a fearful point, that in this information age, that such a huge portion of the population, believe in these infantile fairy tales, whether it is cross-related or wearing a rag/turban around the lump '24 hours' of the day.

Yes, to all of what is written. This pandemic has wrecked my routine of getting to fitness--- and I still haven't gotten organized. I find a quiet period, so that the 'cacophony' of stressful thoughts settle down, followed by interesting conversation is very refreshing for my brain health. That includes a few laughs thrown in as well.

Continuing with an Easter theme and some probability theory thrown in...

Diogenes comments on Apr 17, 2022:

A few years back I posted a lecture on Agnostics. What the speaker said was, "There could have been a Jesus from a minor Jewish cult that was arrested by the Romans for protesting against the Romans desecrating the temple. He could have been executed by one of the horrible Roman tortures." From there the bull shit starts; nothing has ever come back from the dead- not a dinosaur; not a cockroach and no prophets either. If Constantine, hadn't adopted Christianity as the state religion, the world would have not been infected with a least 'this' one foolish religion.

Happy fucking Easter or something like that! Lol

Diogenes comments on Apr 16, 2022:

Yes! Certainly! But I have no interest in religion, until the religious start enforcing their warped religions on the public. With so-called "Easter" on the horizon, 'and those bunnies', arguing with a theist would be equivalent to arguing with a two-year-old about why Bugs Bunny can speak--- and in every language, depending on the country he is in.

I've known one or two Russian people; they are/were honest hard-working people. You are saying the Russians are cowards- I think it is a matter of these young guys not wanting to go to the Ukraine and killing people they have no gripe with. If Hitler were still alive he would still be cursing General Georgi Zhukov. It was a very bad idea for the NAZIs to invade Russia. Some countries have people who will fight to the very last drop of blood when invaded- that also includes the Ukraine.
