@WonderWartHog99 My point was yes they had to call it something but WHY redefine an already existing word instead of building a legitimate new word by understood and accepted lexicography?
They may as well have called it Rhubarb if you are just going to take another word and give it a new meaning.

@altschmerz There were 9 Jesus' around the time of supposed Babble stories, none of them were the carpenter of nazareth, Jesus was not a name it was a title for a claimant to messiahship and even then it was a Latinisation of the aramaic Yoshua, made popular because it sounds like Y-Zeus (child of Zeus)
The Bubble Jesus is a mix of these people and various other mythical gods and demigods, Orpheus, Tammuz, Horus, Osiris and others .
None of "his" teachings or conjuring tricks are original.

Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Romans 1:26– 32
For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,
I think that is pretty clear and are only two of many passages

Macho shit head men lie.
I am male, in my life I have been mugged twice, both times by women, once at 19 by a lone attacker and once in my mid twenties by a gang of women.
Men go out in groups too for safety, though as I say they won't admit it is the reason, men get their drinks spiked too, sometimes to facilitate robbery, sometimes for sexual assault (yes male rape and harassment is far more common than you would think). Men are bullied and physically assaulted "for fun" but it is rarely reported, or taken seriously when it is, after all "men" are supposed to be able to deal with this shit.
Like it or not the dangers are the same, and both sexes are equally capable of being both victim and perpetrator.

@WilliamFleming @BD66 You are basically making the argument that if the common folk of the USA don't have guns, then their own government would murder them indiscriminately, it is only the threat of armed civil war that keeps the authorities in check.
If you are so frightened of your own elected government that you feel you need to defend yourself against them with deadly force your society is REALLY fucked up.

That list cover the 20th century, why do you not include the gun death statistics for the United states in the same period?
I'll tell you why because if you count in accidental deaths of children due to guns, deaths by suicide using guns, deaths in lesser crimes using guns, mass shootings, murders, assassinations, accidental gun discharges resulting in death, police shootings, gang warfare and probable deaths of people who simply disappear, the number is so horrendously high that the US department of statistics has classified it as secret.
The situation was aptly described as "America is at war with itself" by Henry A. Giroux in his 2016 book of the same name the title coming from a washington post article of the last century, in favour of the Brady Bill.
What is known is that deaths from school shootings in the Usa have been higher in the 21st century, than in the whole of the 20th century combined and it is only part way through 2019.

Thought Svengali was one of those physics , who swindled people out their of money by , " talking ," with their dead relatives .
LenHazell53 replies on May 27, 2019:
In both the book and the film he is described as a hypnotist or mesmerist but from the descriptions of his powers and achievements he is much more of a psychic with powerful skills in persuasion and mental domination, able to drive people to suicide, bend their will to his own will, and actually control the bodies, emotions and even physicality of other people against their will.
His complete lack of compassion and amorality, in favour of ego centricity is probably highly influenced by the character of Iago in Shakespeare's Othello and Svengali should actually be ranked along with Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster as one of the primordial horror characters.

I believe you may mean “The revolution like Saturn devours its own children”
If so you are out of context, the saying is attributed to Georges Jacques Danton ( 1759 – 1794) an actual revolutionary, who was referring not to the revolution or revolutionaries but during his trial by the those perpetrating the reign of terror who corrupted the aims of the Democratic republican revolution in favour of a nationalist bourjois agenda.
It was satirical and had nothing to do with socialism.

So were will you hear a socialist singing the Horst Wessel song, which is an anthem of NATIONAL Socialism an extreme RIGHT wing ideology in direct opposition to the traditionally left wing socialist political philosophies.
National socialism was fanatically anti socialist and took the name to try and "Claim back" socialism a word they alone believed had been corrupted.
Under Hitler ALL forms of socialism other than NS were declared communist and outlawed.
The soviet union likewise misused the word Socialism in order to enamour the working classes, they were not even Marxist, they neither enforced nor introduced any of the principles of socialism. Nor did they apply those of communism they were actually a Totalitarian state that called themselves a socialist republic (which they were neither).
Therefore claiming and using national socialism or soviet socialism (A contradiction in terms since it means socialism by ruling council) as a form or example of actual socialism is at best ignorant and at worst intellectually dishonest.

The OSI KNEW of the pearl harbour attack weeks in advance, but deliberately held up the Japanese ambassador with his declaration of war, so it could be an act of "infamy" and thus be justified to the American people.

When God sent two angles in to Sodom to find Lot and his family they were attacked and robbed, one of them had his nose bloodied by the robbers.
They went to the magistrate and demanded recompense and justice, at which point they were beaten again and told the man who attacked them was a doctor and had carried out a medical procedure "bleeding" for which they owed him money.
At this point Lot punched the magistrate on the nose making him bleed and demanded that he pay the "doctor" instead of paying Lot, thus settling the angels debt.

@Renickulous I am saying, as I have many times previously in this discussion a small count of cells can contain the DNA of a specific species without actually being a member of that species, this includes a zygote, blastoma,blastomeres, a morula, trophoblasts and others that can not live outside of the womb environment being totally physically reliant on the mother.
In short a cell containing DNA from a human may be a human cell, it is however not a human being, if it were anyone taking a DNA swab or a blood donation would be a murderer.
(By the way please stop comparing some entitled person sponging off their parents to any in utero creature from Zygote to baby. It is a silly False analogy and make you look idiotic)

If you were to DNA test a human mothers zygote what species DNA would you get? Let's see how you do with science that contradicts your ideology and hypocrisy.

I ask for citation for your claim and you direct me to a BLOG 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Your other link take us to a database of with a link to a paper from 1993 that is actually irrelevant to your claim, but simply points out that which I have already acknowledged that a Zygote contains human (or in this case a Mouse or human) DNA, but say nothing about it being a human until it grows in to a formed embryo.

@Renickulous Citation required perhaps, from an actual peer reviewed paper rather than a school text book or a ridiculous and discredited think piece by a catholic philosopher pretending to be an MD?

Look if you want to keep passing off Dr. Dianne N. Irving's "(facts)" as the basis for your (fact)s you really ought to check out the credentials of the darling pet "scientist" catholic Pro Lifers.
Her doctorate is in Philosophy, not medicine and she is no more qualified to declare her opinions facts than I am, or for that matter you are.

It is however a product of the mother containing viable DNA, but then so is feces, mucus and saliva
I know what a Zygote is, I think I made that clear in my previous post
Cancer does kill people, it also contains human DNA by your own logic this makes chemotherapy murder, since a cancer cell is perfectly cable of living once removed, indefinitely if in a nutrient suspension, and even of continuing to grow and thrive, it to is "innocent" by you definition.
Simply because something contains a unique strand of DNA doesn't mean it is alive in the same sense as viable living independent fully grown specimen, a mushroom meets all the same criteria and even has 89% (a cabbage has 94%) the same DNA as a human, is "innocent" that does not make a vegetarian a cannibal.
Quoting a fact out of context, as I think I have shown above, does not make it applicable in all circumstances, you verge on equivocation and just to be pedantic I never accused you of blowing anything out of proportion, I accused you of hyperbole and reductio ad absurdum, one of which is quite different and the other is quite the opposite.😊

"A zygote is not the mother"
A Zygote is not an embryo, hundreds of them are quietly miscarried without anyone's knowledge before they become even a viable embryo, women miscarry at all stages of pregnancy, are you going to start advocating for the prosecution of women who miscarry or have stillbirths on the grounds of negligence or malpractice?
Is the ovum part of the mother?
Is the spermatozoa a part of the father?
Is menstruation and having a wet dream the abortion of a "potential" person?
Is the use of contraception the denial of even the chance for a gamet to become a Zygote tantamount to conspiracy to murder?
I've heard all these ridiculous logical fallacies used, and others even more stupid to justify the denial of choice to women as to when they want to have a child if at all.
Your arguments are reductio ad absurdum, at best simplistic and emotive moralising and virtue signaling at worst hypocritical hyperbole.
