Hello and welcome, enjoy the site. Yes religion, theist or polytheist, is not a belief in god or gods, that is deism. Religion is three beliefs in one. First there is a god, second that god has something to say to people, and third that god was not clever enough to tell everyone, but could only manage to tell a few people who were then entitled to ask for money, power or sex before they could pass it on. Does that sound like a very profitable, if dishonest business to you ? I like that think that I will post it.

Fernapple comments on Jun 28, 2020:

I can understand. I have a garden full of orange day lilies, dating from the time when it was a large new garden, and I was in a hurry to fill it with things that were cheap and easy to multiply. In the last few years however I have started treating them as weeds. (Tip. Glysophate weedkiller kills slowly, a fading yellowing death, especially in autumn, so you can alway blame the death on a mystery illness.) Recently an large area came free for planting by the village bowling green, which adjoins my plot. One of the bowlers said. "I will plant some flowers for you, save you a few pence." Which he did , and they were day lilies. "What colour are they ?" I said, hoping that he had given me some rare colour forms. "Oh they are orange." So now I have to wait a couple of years before they can mysteriously die.

Fernapple comments on Jun 27, 2020:

I don't think that the basic assumption. "only human beings turned out having such complex consciousness " Is all that sound anyway. Depends a lot on how you define consciousness and complex, and if you can prove that a small difference in consciousness, magnified by tiny physical changes such as the shape of the larynx, are not enough to lead to the development of culture, and with that an apparent collective consciousness, which is a technical rather than genetic emergence.

I have some rhubarb growing in my garden that can be harvested.

Fernapple comments on Jun 27, 2020:

Look up 'rhubarb crumble' on the web , you will find lots of versions, but they are all so easy to cook, and so delicious it should not be missed. But do grow Angelica as well, it is very easy to grow, and if you add about one part angelica to three of rhubarb it improves every dish vastly, taste of heaven. But do be wary of harvesting rhubarb too late in the season, it gets tough and acidic as the summer goes on, a spring dish really. Rhubarb also makes a good sauce for many savoury dishes.

And there is nothing like, a capitalist consumer culture with easy credit, to promote shallow entitlement in people. Can you not find a friend with a garden you could use sometimes ?

Vaccines for the rest of the world? How does that work? [theguardian.com]

Fernapple comments on Jun 25, 2020:

One of the current front runners, is said to be being developed in Britain now, at Cambridge. And since it involves a synthetic way of stimulating the bodies own cell to produce antibodies, without using real viral parts, it is said that if it works it will be ridiculously cheap, and that a litre will make a two hundred thousand or more shots, giving a price per shot of less than pence. But of course it may not work, and if any are found and require collecting fresh viral samples each time, then they could be hugely expensive, hundreds of dollars each shot, and therefore only a luxury for rich private patients. It is just a roll of the dice how much the vaccines, if any, will cost, so it is hard to predict if they will or can be rolled out globally.

Fernapple comments on Jun 24, 2020:

In the UK, you have to have a license, to own a gun, it is quite cheap, but you have to prove that you have a real need for a gun, in other words, you are a farmer or gun club member. You also have to show that you are able to keep it in a locked metal locker, which the police inspect, and you are not allowed automatics. The rules for shotguns and antique weapons are slightly easier, those for rifles and hand guns are very tough. No one seems to have a problem with this, and we don't have many gun crimes or accidental deaths, in part because the need to belong to a gun club means that everyone gets some limited, basic safety training.

My father past away this week with the funeral ending just a few hours ago.

Fernapple comments on Jun 21, 2020:

You can not feel guilty about being unable to keep all your promises, even to those who have died, we can have realistically no more right to expect people to change for our benefit in death than in life, and sometimes we simply can not do everything for everyone that they would like us to, that is the reality of life. My father wanted to be cremated when he died, my mother who was herself already in a hospital dying, wanted him buried. Because she had a desire to be buried alongside him. I chose to respect his wishes however, though mother was very upset, and in some ways it would perhaps have been far better to respect the wishes of the still living, than the dead, who are after all beyond being hurt. But I was far closer to my father than my mother, time was short and many other things, including mothers illness, were pressing upon me, so with little thought I decided to go with fathers wishes. But whichever way I had gone it would have meant breaking a promise, it was a no win situation.

But still I am just thankful I have just enough of a life to be able to make a contribution. It could after all be far worse, I could be a really sad person whose life was so dismal, I would need to go out trolling for reactions to get a bit of a short lived thrill, don't know that I would want to go on living if things were that sad.

God damn f'n climate-change denying catholics!!!

Fernapple comments on Jun 19, 2020:

The Catholic church has a long history of pursuing an enlightened agenda towards both scientific and environmental issues, at least when compared to most other Christian sects. Probably because they had their fingers burned so badly early on, when the first conflicts between religion and natural philosophy began in western Europe. Like most old institutions they have long since learned the values of tolerance and ambiguity, as the route to attracting and keeping the widest support and income. Zeal, extremism and narrow ideology tend to be features of newer institutions. But that of course is only achieved by using the maximum amount of cognitive dissonance, without applying which, the issue of their ongoing opposition to any form of birth control renders any environmental conscience completely phony. Every form of both good and bad ideology and deeds, can and will be found, in any institution which has no real moral direction and is morally bankrupt. The same mechanism, or lack of mechanism, which enables an institution to preach caring for the weak, yet at the same time institutionalize child rape, is exactly that which enables it to support environmentalism, but not birth control.

The bible is a mess, and so you can therefore find anything you want in it. And it is that which keeps it popular, because it gives you a justification for anything you want. A well constructed book, with no contradictions and a plain logical meaning, requiring no interpretation, could never be the basis of a major religion, because only a few people would truly agree with it. All the books that form the basis of major religions from the Tao, to the Koran etc. are messy and vague, but the bible is the vaguest of all, and is also the basis of the biggest religion.
