Fernapple comments on Dec 29, 2020:

Interestingly, it is said that. In times of famine, such as when the crops had been struck down by a blight, for example ergot. The Egyptians had a custom that only the first born, both humans and livestock, would be fed, the others had to shift for themselves. Therefore, if the fungal blight was ergot, which is highly toxic to mammals including humans, the first born would be poisoned. So the biblical story may just be an case of god, taking credit, as he generally did then, for what was done by a fungus.

Question to atheists and agnostics: Are you sure no god exists that you believe in?

Fernapple comments on Dec 29, 2020:

There are very few, true, hard atheists about, an actual certainly held belief in there being no gods is rare, to the point of vanishing, so this is very much a straw-man argument. However, even as an agnostic, I do not think I would find this very convincing. Attempting to define god into existence, by playing with the meaning of words, is not making a god out of the universe; but rather the old sad delusion of making a god out of that flawed syphilitic called human culture. (In this case not even that, but rather its sub-set language.) I am quite open to the possibility of pantheism, and/or an intelligent universe, and certainly can not see any reason not to be. But I would certainly stop short of calling it god. Because the god word, has been infected for thousands of years by religion with the syphilitic taint that is the idea of a single entity, with a definable personality. Which by the nature of single entities can be separated out from the whole. So that as with all things that can be separated, it can then be manipulated by the human agencies, and used to create the false authority which the criminally inclined long for, more than anything. So that any such a religion, would then rapidly, become a tool for exploitation and abuse, no less than common type..

Anything and everything that takes you away. And remember, that there are a lot of closet none believers out there, if you are brave enough to show your true nature, you may be surprised by how many come out of their shells.

Dropped my car keys yesterday, miles out in the country.

So I set off on my route back, had not got two hundred yards, when I saw a set of keys glittering in the long grass. Million to one that I would spot them there. Funny thing is, I don't believe in Karma, and even if I did, I usually only get the bad sort.

I have heard of and experiment done in Norway. Where a single spade of earth, from a forest, was taken into the lab and deeply studied, several new species being found. They argued that, when you get down to very small things, the eight million or so species could be a gross underestimate, the species being almost limitless.

Fernapple comments on Dec 24, 2020:

There is no dividing line between popular culture and religion, in fact religion is very much just a marketable product like every other one. And just as the fact that, when one socially hopeless young man, discovers that the product he was sold, does not make him devastatingly attractive to the opposite sex, like the advert says. Will not stop the marketing people using that ploy, again and again, because they know that there are plenty more socially hopeless and naive young men out there. So the growth of sceptical culture, will not stop them marketing religion for every dollar they can get out of its victims.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.

For many people the journey to sceptical thinking, starts with abandoning highly organized, dogmatic religion, for less formal religions, deism, then vague spiritual practices, then no practice, and finally soft agnostic, then hard agnostic, before some of them go on to become atheist. While some just make one big leap, but they are often the ones who have been deeply hurt by religion, and I would not wish that on your daughter. Best to hope she enjoys her journey and not worry about the destination.

Fernapple comments on Dec 23, 2020:

Good philosophy should not and can not follow religion. Because like its child, science, which was once known as Natural Philosophy, it is about the attempt to find truth. Where religion is about the expression of given truth. Moreover, in practice, good philosophy always defers to science and logic, which is not required of religion.

Getting my COVID vaccine today.

Fernapple comments on Dec 23, 2020:

Yes, I suspect it is just an example of sloppy lazy writing. What they mean when they say 'prevent' Covid-19 is. 'After a week or two, you are less likely to develop the full range of symptoms usually associated with Covid-19.' Using the diseases name as shorthand to stand for the range of associated symptoms, it is a lazy practice but often done. In fact I would say that disease's names are more often use that way than not, in popular medical lit. My friend who is 88 just had the vaccination in the UK, and after reading the leaflet, went off happily shopping. I pointed out that she would not get any immunity for ten days or so. "Oh I thought it was instant, she said." Well informed. There is an almost exactly the same problem in biology. Where people will use the shorthand and say things 'evolved' when of course creatures do not evolve. When what they actually mean is something like. 'Changes in heritable traits that are passed from one generation to the next, and selected for by natural selection, causing alterations in the populations of genes, etc etc.' But they keep on using the shorthand saying things evolved, despite the fact that everyone knows that creationists will, often deliberately, misunderstand it.

Fernapple comments on Dec 23, 2020:

I find the concept of religion deeply offensive, in some ways, but not Christianity especially. Since at the bottom, I do not think there is any such thing as Christianity. There is rather a whole range of religious, political and social movements that hardly have much in common at all, which generally fit within a vague nominal grouping, based on a historical and often slight connection to a usually misunderstood ancient set of texts. "Stephen Jay Gould, who spent his life studying fish, discovered that all sea-dwelling creatures are not of the same genus, nor are they in any way related to one other, and that there is no common evolutionary ancestor for all species of fish. He concluded that there is no such thing as a Fish."

So to really sell it, Fascism need a new name, (rebranding). Look around, is there a spare one available ? How about 'Christian', nobody really believes in that any longer, at least not in the plain teachings of it founder, and none of its groups believe in the same things, so its going spare, meaningless anyone can use it for anything.

Fernapple comments on Dec 20, 2020:

There are and have been, many definitions of the term 'religion'. And there is no reason why the same person should not choose to use more than one of them, according to circumstance. As long as they are plain about their usage and why they do so. Some definitions are narrow, and will only admit theist religion as true religion, while others are wide ranging, going beyond even none theist superstition and philosophy, to include even, social clubs, political movements, and personality cults. With that in mind, what would be perhaps the widest definition possible, encompassing the greatest range of usage. I would say that, a good and useful wide definition would perhaps be. 'Religion is the awarding of authority to things, without requiring the use of reason or evidence, to justify that award.' Whether those things be none existent sky fairies, spirits, myth, tradition, art, culture, political movements, old books, or cult leaders; the one thing that they all have in common. Is that they are considered to have authority, and be sources of truth, without attempting to expose themselves, to an unlimited degree, to questions of reason or evidence. Since this is perhaps the one thing that all the common usages of the term religion share, it is doubly useful as a definition. Since it makes plain the deep connection between the anti-social/criminal, and religion, from the playground bully and abusive spouse, to the political dictator. Since the things which every criminal wants more than anything else, are of course power and wealth, but especially power and wealth, which they do not have to expose to the trials of reason and evidence Your friends may be doing good, but they are also while doing so helping to build a house for crime. The fact that the odd blade of grass grows among the loco weed, does not make the loco weed good pasture.

Bibly people like to put out the classic: The wages of sin is death.

And of course death did not exist until Adam and Eve plucked the apple. So the tardigrades can blame us. We have a lot to answer for. LOL

I am having a hard time understanding why I have to have a certain amount of points to join a group.

Hello and welcome, enjoy the site. Some groups feel open to trolling, they set a certain value in points, so that only members who have proved that they are trustworthy can join. That is the main reason for the points system, it gives the site a chance to block and weed out, hackers, trolls, dealers and fakes etc. before they can do real damage. Some groups are more paranoid than others, sometimes with good reason (If they have, say, political content. ), sometimes not. But points come quickly if you take part.

Trump's been watching too many movies.

I just don't understand why US presidents don't have to just go, as soon as they are voted out. Apart from France, perhaps, most first minister around the world go very quickly. It invites mischief.

Remember to say "please" and "thank you", wash behind your ears and hold the door for others. peace.
