Study: Poor African Americans in the Deep South Are Most Likely to Be Audited By the IRS

Fernapple comments on Apr 6, 2019:

Don't take this wrong I am not trying to belittle the US. But in the UK the Revenue made a choice to not chase people on low incomes as hard as those on high, not only because they have less money and therefore the rewards, even if they are caught, are not so great, but also because a careful study found that low income people are less likely to cheat anyway. Things may be different your side of the pond but make of that what you will.

RICHARD DAWKINS ERROR CONCERNING THE ORIGIN OF LIFE Pursuing the concept that anything is ...

Fernapple comments on Apr 6, 2019:

For those who can be bothered, and I don't blame you if you can't, here is one of the passages on Hoyle to which this may refer. Dawkins, in The Blind Watchmaker. "Sir Fred Hoyles memorable misunderstanding of the theory of natural selection. He compared natural selection, in its alleged improbability, to a hurricane blowing through a junkyard and chancing to assemble a Beoing 747. - this is an entirely false analogy to apply to natural selection," The passage does not refer to the origins of life, though in other places Dawkins does make it clear that the extreme complexity required by even simple life, must mean that natural selection got going very early in life's history, and the main theme of the book is devoted to explaining how natural selection differs from random chance, and why the assumption that natural selection is the same thing as chance is wrong. And sadly why theists often deliberately choose to misunderstand that.

If these are not just lies, then you need to go back and read Dawkins again more carefully.

Fernapple comments on Apr 6, 2019:

Google something like "Pascals wager critical" and you will find a thousand places where this argument is shot to pieces. Most of them will point out that there are thousands of gods set in tens of thousands of religions, all of which religions claim to have exclusive access to god. (Exclusive is important because it is the only thing they have to offer, that sets them apart from deism and one another.) Therefore they usually say, which one do you pick ? BUT, here is one small bit of logic that you will not often hear. How do you know that god, if it does exist, does not respect agnostics, and atheists the most. For their reason and for not telling it what it should be, or insulting it by saying that it is exclusive, i.e. racist culturalist. You may as well bet on it liking us best. Its the same bet..

I don't think that they do, if you get out into the groups you will find people posting about all sorts of things, and hardly a mention of religion. It is only on the front page that you find that, perhaps because that is the entry port for what is a mainly anti-theist community. If you stand outside a pub by the menu board, you will find everyone talking about food and drink, but go inside and you will find them talking about everything.

And things like religion are the fruits of that.

Does anyone work from home?

Fernapple comments on Apr 3, 2019:

Sort of. I run a plant nursery on my own land by the house. Finding balance is the hard part, it may be easier for some in some types of work, but being a producer and marketer of those products, which are living, the plants can call on me at any time and so can the customers. It is also very seasonal so my year splits between 24/7 some months and total free time in others. Sometimes cabin fever sets in and I feel imprisoned in one location But the good part is that the work is very varied, very social, and I have a lot of freedom to choose what I do in any given hour. There were two of us but I now do it alone and sometimes think of employing someone, if only for company, its hard to keep motivated when you know its only for you, but since I have only a few years to go before retirement now, it does not seem fair to take someone on without a long term prospect, so I guess I will just stick it out.

What Animals are thinking and feeling, and why it should matter. [youtube.com]

Fernapple comments on Apr 3, 2019:

This is a great theme. I remember that I once had a theist teacher who pedaled the old religious line, that animals had no feelings and were merely machines, who could be used and exploited by humans without regard. When asked why it appeared that animals had emotions, he said that they had mechanisms which served the same purpose, but were not true emotions. So, since he was not a creationist, I asked him why evolution would produce one set of mechanisms in animals to serve the purposes of survival, which worked perfectly well, and then change them for another in humans. He said that though human bodies had evolved, emotions had been planted by god, since only creatures with souls could feel. It was one of the first things to make me realize just what a cesspit of BS you could dig yourself into if you were religious and really tried.

Fernapple comments on Mar 31, 2019:

Sadly a lot of the social media sites like facebook have their servers deliberately programed to favour negative and extremist comments and behavior, in part because they are only interested in "hit" counts, and people who post bad things get the most responses even though many are negative. They also know that peoples negative behavior, tells them more about a person for marketing purposes and data collections, than the good things they do on line. If they put out that you tripped and fell, and everybody says hope that did not hurt too much, that tells them that everybody is alike, and there is no information value in that. If on the other hand they put out that an "xxxxx" tripped and fell, and 1% of people say. "You deserved that you xxxxing "xxxxx". " Then they learn something about that 1% which they can interpret and sell to marketers. These are the main reasons the social media quite intentionally promote hate and divisiveness.

I would like to add another one to your list if I may, though it is not usually thought of as a religion which is perhaps why it is not on Wiki as such. And that is Art especially with a capital "A", because it is the enabler in manipulating human minds which spans all of the religions. It has a so called spiritual worth for which there is no evidence. And that spiritual worth leads to the idea of "artistic truth" which is not connected to any objective truth but carries great prestige and can be used to validate any lies that any other religion wishes to sell. I know this this will not be popular with some even here who worship it though, tough.
