That joke (or at least a version of it) has been around since 1939, and is from the script of the Laurel and Hardy film "A Chump at Oxford." as written by Stan Laurel Lord Paddington : Fatty, I've noticed lately that you're getting terribly sloven. Ollie : How do you mean, sir? Lord Paddington : Well, you don't seem to have the dignity becoming of a lackey. No poise. You don't walk right or something. Let me see, pull in your stomach. That's better. Now, now throw your shoulders back. That's fine. Now, chin up. Chin up. No no no, no. Both of them!

It would not surprise me that when it turns out the Virus just a force of nature with no blame attached he does start claiming it came from a witch or a little green man.

Why Religion Is Not Going Away and Science Will Not Destroy It

LenHazell53 comments on May 1, 2020:

An interesting take on this is found in "Lord of the World" a 1907 dystopian speculative science fiction novel by Robert Hugh Benson that centers upon the reign of the church perceived Antichrist Julian Felsenburgh, who is in actuality a charismatic political leader and propagandist who founds a "church" of reason, that usurps traditional religion in preference for the worship of science personified as the queen and mother of all a godess like statue of a Madonna and child symbolizing reason as the mother of technology. The systematic demonisation of religion culminates in a war on "god" and the last pope being smuggled away from the Vatican as volor-bombers (a cross between Zeplins and flying warships) wipe the city off the face of the earth, symbolically showing science eradicating religion.

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 30, 2020:

Not anymore, I used to be, in time I have learned the actions of most are governed purely by self interest. In the case of Politicians they can and will hold several conflicting opinions in order to appeal to the maximum amount of voters. In the case of Joe or Joan public they will hold the opinion they have been told to hold by their preferred news or information source, in order to be spared the toil of actually thinking about things and having to make decision they will be held responsible for. In the case of the media they will choose a demographic to appeal to, in the sure knowledge that those people will support them with purchases, because they are agree with the actions and opinions put forth and be reassured. In the case of the intelligentsia, 50% will base their opinions of facts and evidence, 50% will base their opinions on who is paying them to hold those points of view. In the case of economists opinions will be held in accordance with free market trends and expediency. The exception that proves the rule is In the case of socialist hippy weirdos, intellectuals and artists their actions and opinions will often be in concordance with the truth, facts and universal well being. These people are considered highly dangerous, completely out of touch and usually end up dead or in prison for the preservation of the status quo

The Use of Karen as a derogatory term stems from Kathleen Kennedy, the utter moron producer who ruined the Star wars Franchise by loading it with agenda driven identity politics rather than story, leading to massive financial losses. She announced shortly after "the Last Jedi" that "The Force" was female and she personally thought of her as "Karen" From that moment on it has become something of a meme to label such silly pronouncement and pseudo feminist rhetoric "a Karen".

In time, especially with many young Muslims growing up in other cultures, Islam will go the same way as every other religion and die a slow death from indifference, expedience and logic.

This is why some see radicalisation as so important to "keep the faith" mad Imam's, Gospel preachers, scriptural literalism, Hindi fanatics, even Buddhist leaders advocating violence are all the result of the death scream of religion, a final act of insane defiance at the waning of their influence: If you cannot have love, have respect, if not respect then fear must suffice and the best way to combat fear is a solid mix of knowledge and laughter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAftULTyXGg

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 24, 2020:

I hate religion, for what it does to people and society. Christians and other religious persons, I judge on what they practice, which in the case of some is nothing more than calling themselves a Christian or whatever. However when someone will openly profess to allow that their religion shapes their opinions, makes them hate who they are supposed to hate, when they put home and family second to their religion, when they will turn their back on their own over a difference of opinion, when they shun those who have done them no harm and believe those people will be sent to ever lasting torment because the deity they believe in thinks they deserve it and they have not the courage to disagree for fear of the same punishment and yet still profess love for that monster of a god; I will openly tell them they are wrong, they are as monstrous as their god and that they invite the loathing of all decent people.

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 22, 2020:

Yes, my mother's insane religious mania and my father's decision to simply ignore it lead to a miserable and damaging childhood, that left me with life long problems, psychological and physical, a disassociation with social norms and behaviours, a ludicrous and unfounded hatred of Roman Catholics and a terror of god that haunted me in to my late twenties. Religion wrecked my formative years, destroyed my brother turning him to an alcoholic by his mid teens and worse later, it poisoned our minds and wrecked our ability to have healthy relationships. The day I realised that I was an atheist and that religion no longer held any sway over me, I felt like I had been set free from a dark, dungeon could finally see the sun and know what it was to breathe easy without the stench of fear in my every breath.

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 22, 2020:

Christianity is a cannibal death cult, that worships the idea of universal resurrection, eternal punishment and the enjoyment of the torture of the "unworthy". It is however also, especially among Catholics and the followers of St. Jerome a sado-masochist torture cult, employing such ideas as self flagellation with a personal scourge, the use of both horse hair and metal cilice for reasons of painful penitence and a whole host of other tools of godly Mortification.
