LenHazell53 replies on May 3, 2021:
Allah is a name and thus a proper noun and so is capitalised. However god with a lower case "g" is a simple noun, describing a type of alleged entity, same as a unicorn and does not need to be capitalised. The Lord God (upper case g) is a specific reference to the Christian or Jewish god and is a title such as King (insert name here) and so is treated as a proper noun. The "one true God" whose true name should technically never be spoken as doing so is according to religitards is an act of sacrilege. Jews will not even write the word God for fear that to do so might be blasphemous and upset the big bad sky daddy and so write it G-d as if that made a fucks worth of difference.

INCLUDING pregnancy, because women in pregnancy have a more efficient than normal immune system their results are invalidated and need to be reported, so they can be withdrawn from the trials . Or if the partner of a pregnant or breast feeding woman is a participant since he will be exposed to covid19 "by inhalation or skin contact" to test the efficacy of the vaccine, must be removed from the test to avoid any liability for damage to the health of the woman or the infant and/or to discredit the clinical trials. IT IS NOT about people contracting the Vaccine by inhalation or skin contact which anyone with any sense what so ever KNOWS is IMPOSSIBLE.

No it is the genuine belief that they are favoured by god as the chosen ones and so are superior people. They are indoctrinated from birth to believe this and are tolerated by modern Jews who like having a reminder of "the old days" around to point at and feel proud of while thanking their god that they personally don't have to live like that themselves. It is the same phenomena as rich Christian who used to hire a hermit to live in a cave on their land to show their piety, or Hindu kings who paid a holy man to live a life of paucity and self sacrifice by the gates of their palace.

@Marionville, @Davekp ***"Anything other than sacrificing a life to appease the gods is just an “offering”. Possibly?***" An offering to the gods that is not a sacrifice is called a "votive" meaning a promissory gift, what today we might call a bribe. This is also where we get the verb To Vote.

@Davekp Sacrifice from the Latin sacrificus Combining sacra meaning "sacred rites" and facere "to make or to do" The correct word for a sacrifice of a living thing is an oblation again from the Latin Oblatus to flatten (as in what we today would call spatch-cocking) to make the burning easier. Today the word for a priest who did this an Oblate, is still used in the RC church only now to indicate one who prostrates themselves and their whole life before god. You may recall that in Genesis 4 Cain slew Abel because his sacrifice of fruit and grain was looked upon less favourably than that of his brother who presented a lamb

A sacrifice does not have to involve death, among some cultures pouring out the last mouth full of wine on the ground or burning a few seed grains as an offering to the gods is all that is required. Among some tribes of the indigenous plains people rituals were more likely to involve pain endurance rather than death.

Greed.
LenHazell53 replies on Apr 29, 2021:
Greed usually stems from an idea of being more worthy, more deserving or more favoured by a god, then those you are depriving, it is therefore usually justified by divine precedent and in some cases even caused by it.

@anglophone It is manifestly absurd, as is religion in general however Historically most emperors did not claim godhood, they claim to be an avatar of god on earth it is therefore basically were the early Christians got the idea of Jesus being a divine avatar of YHWH on earth hence the title King of Kings and the worship of a mangod.

LenHazell53 replies on Apr 29, 2021:
@Pedrohbds "Catholicism supported Franco in Spain but opposed fascism in other lands." Incorrect, I am sorry to say Under the papacy of Pius XII the RCC supported fascism all over the world, especially it's racist and anti-Semitic policies. The church had concordats with all fascist nations and Pius XII even declared Hitler's Birthday a holy day. The Catholic church genuinely believed that Hitler would win and wanted to be the official state religion when they did. It was after all Pius XII who instituted the far ranging expansion of Papal infallibility so he could state ex cathedra that fascism was the will of god. A "fact" used in some countries even after WW2 to justify regimes such as Argentine president Juan Perón right up till the late 20th century. Even when European fascism was defeated and to this day the RCC has never excommunicated Hitler for his actions and deeds and remains in the annals of the RCC a Catholic in good standing, subject to the grace of Christ . In other words in the eyes of the church Hitler is in Heaven while all the Jews he burned are burning still in Hell.

LenHazell53 replies on Apr 29, 2021:
"Ultra nationalism, plagues, tyrannical dictatorships with military and intelligence resources, colonialism, industrialization of slave labor " All of these can be traced back to sources in "Holy Books" that advocate the idea of a chosen people, a master race or a blessed people favoured by a god, and that "lesser" races are there to be enslaved for the benefit of the godly. The Bible is one of the first pieces of writing to advocate the use of spies and espionage and the idea that god appoints monarchs as "His" will being enacted and like wise prophets to be his mouthpiece giving the word of gawd to the kings, thus intertwining church and state. Also though horrific idea that plagues and natural disasters are signs of gawd's displeasure and vengeance on people who sin against him. In short if something is being exploited for power and wealth you will find "biblical" precedent and justification for it.

@BDair Look at India, look at Brazil and Iran were the general attitude is just as stated by you, people are dying in the streets. The figures you use are from countries that have lockdowns, wear masks, take precautions instituted by government, and even so in the USA you have had 574,000 deaths, and that is only 0.18% of the 315,000,000 DEATHS world wide but people like you don't see that as a cause for concern because "statistically" that is "only" 4.5% of the worlds population four point five is "SUCH" a small number, just like 0.5% fatality is just such a small number. Well guess what small number can mean huge amounts of PEOPLE, real PEOPLE with lives, families and titles like MOM, DAD, SON, DAUGHTER, GRAND PARENT, UNCLE and FRIEND. PEOPLE are not just statistics, when you learn that, maybe, just maybe you'll take this pandemic seriously and consider that just because it is not some sci-fi superbug that is going to end the world it is still a crisis.

@Lorajay When my brother in law had his done, his bollocks swelled to the size of grapefruits and stayed that way for a month. That was enough to put on the path to a life long love of condoms and an overwhelming gratitude that these little "rubber Jonnie" are all that is asked of us men for contraception, and not the horrors that are inserted, imbibed or surgically wangled (pun intended) in to women. When my son was born a midwife visited us to talk about contraception, she had with her allsorts of literature and samples and warning pamphlets. She asked my wife (2nd wife) had we even talked about this and I answered that yes we had and had decided that the safest option was condoms, for me. She was speechless and excused herself as she had not brought any, nor had she been told that by a wife let alone a man in twenty years as a practicing district nurse. She came back a day later and gave me a years supply with a big grin on her face, explaining they had plenty to spare and normally only gave them out free to prostitutes (of both sexes) because they were the only ones who asked for them..

@racocn8 "*I know of no atrocities women have committed against males*" Let me enlighten you, all people of all sexes and genders are capable of unspeakable cruelty, especial when feeling they are in a position of power Hert Ehlert SS officer deputy wardress at Bergen-Belsen Juana Bormann SS officer Juana Bormann as the “woman with the dogs” she killed prisoners by setting her hounds on them. Frieda Walter SS officer Famously she thrashed prisoners with a spade Helene Kopper SS officer Notorious camp police officer at Bergen-Belsen Elisabeth Volkenrath SS officer the head warden at Bergen-Belsen tried for crimes against humanity, Volkenrath enjoyed personally selecting prisoners for the gas chambers. Hildegard Lohbauer SS officer Began her "career" in Ravensbruck concentration camp Promoted to Bergen-Belsen she was put in charge of prisoner working parties who later gave evidence evidence she beat prisoners mercilessly Hilde Liesewitz SS officer At just 23, worked only a few months at Bergen-Belsen after being removed for brutality that was too much even for the SS Her crime was to have publically beaten two men close to death as punishment for taking a turnip. Gertrude Feist SS officer Gertrude Feist was known for her cruelty. Such as having forced a starving prisoner to kneel in the snow and eat straight from the ground. Ilse Forster SS officer Joins the SS at scarcely 17 She admitted beating male prisoners with a stick and killed a girl who had tried to steal food from the kitchen. Charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity, she was jailed for 10 years This was at one camp Bergen-Belsen, all of the camps had the contingent of "angels", specially recruited by the SS because apparently Himmler believed women had less bother with their conscience than did men.

@MsDemeanour "Mother" nature was a general term to encompass a number of powerful female deities such as Persephone, Demeter and others who where seen as female because they gave life, provided food and shelter and were a protector against the excess of the evil of the winter gods. Weather gods were almost completely male, the most famous of course being Thor, the only exceptions being again The goddess's of springtime (Oestara for example) who chases out the god of winter (Eg. Jack Frost)and locks him away for a year. "Mother" Nature has never been an insult to the divine feminine, but a tribute to it.

@FrayedBear Cookson did not invent the word she just popularised it, so yes it was around for a long time before she was. I only know what I know from my mother's side of the family, who had been northern fishermen and seamen back through the seven generations ( mid to late 18th century) I have traced so far, first in Hull and then in Hartlepool. As I pointed out, they often talked about Dutch Guernsey jumpers but that was a totally different garment to the heavy wool half patterned Ganzey. A Jersey or a Guernsey would as you say be used for Sunday wear, no one dream of wearing a Gansey to church, it was rough sweaty work wear. Maybe it's just local to the local area, where I live, to use the name like this.

@Marionville A ganzy gets its name from the Guernsey, but it is not the same thing, the word is Guernsey spoken in an east Cleveland/Teesside accent and was a favourite garment of Dockers, seamen, and fishermen in the Tees and Hartlepool area, sometimes as far north as Newcastle upon Tyne. The Ganzy or gansey rose to fame in the books of famous, or infamous, northern writer Catherine Cookson along with many other ear mangling northern idioms.
