Tarantism, (n.) Overcoming melancholy by dancing; the uncontrollable urge to dance

LenHazell53 comments on Dec 21, 2019:

This definition is wrong or at least largely incomplete. Tarantism is a mental condition, very rare and largely only know about because of the records of a huge outbreak beginning in 15th century Italy and culminating in 17th century Medieval Europe, before disappearing almost completely. Sufferers were overcome but an irresistible urge to dance often dancing themselves to death from exhaustion. many believed the cause to be a bite from large spiders carried in to the country in imported goods (Not necessarily from what we call tarantulas today) hence the name Tarantism from tarantula's disease given by the common people to what was know in medical circles as dancing mania or malady. It is very rare today and is usually the result of religious nutters telling people they can fast and dance the devil or the devil's disease out of themselves by reaching such a state of utter fatigue that the devil believes they are about to die and flees the body. Unfortunately it often proves too effective and the patient dies anyway. EDIT IN Europe today there is a wild and overtly sexual dance known as a Tarantella, that is named for the condition, and the way sufferers apparently behaved.

Afterlife

LenHazell53 comments on Dec 18, 2019:

Or nowhere if the Jews are right? The after life myth is not exclusively Christian and if the Christians ARE right, it's okay because according to Jesus heaven is only temporary, because after a period in the grave or in paradise we will ALL raise from the dead (Minus our naughty bits) be glorified and live forever on earth (but with no sea) whether we want to or not.

This is not new, it was fist postulated in 1991 and proven in 2007. This is why people who are quadriplegic don't need heart stimulation even if they need mechanical aided breathing, and why people with severe brain damage in a coma still have heart functionality. The heart neurological complex (it is not an actual brain) is a evolved survival mechanism, it is remarkable but not miraculous and it certainly does not think in the same way the brain proper does and certainly gives no credence to the ancient Greek idea that the heart not the head is the seat of all reason.

Christian Conservative Claims Star Wars Is Based On The Bible | Michael Stone

LenHazell53 comments on Dec 16, 2019:

This myth sprang up about the time Empire was released, and was based on a total misunderstanding. Battlestar Galactica (the original version) WAS based on Mormon scripture, specifically the book of Abraham Aaron spelling was a semi inactive Mormon, but saw in the mythos of the lesser Mormon scriptures and the hierarchy of the church a basis for a Galactic empire. Hence Mormon Kolob became BG's Kobol, the quorum of the 12 apostles became the galactic ruling quorum of the 12 planets, Laminites became Cylons etc. However for some reason by the Time Jedi came out, the rumour has switch to the more popular Star wars franchise even though George Lucas is a Buddhist.

"Now either pay up or I will call the police and have you thrown in jail." "I see," said the man, and taking it back wrote on the reverse side $259 for fucking me in the arse. Account settled in full! "I never touched your bottom" screamed the manager The man looked him in the eye and whispered "It was there if you wanted it" To me the Christian god is the smug manager charging us for salvation we don't need and threatening to prosecute us if we do not pay up, and expecting us to bend over and take it.

The tightening or abolition of the use of the Corporation sole tax loophole needs also to addressed in its application religion and religious institutions. In short churches and religions should be stripped of any special status and treatment in matters of finance.

How do you define "evil"?

LenHazell53 comments on Dec 6, 2019:

There are so many words seen as synonymous with evil, most are actually not. Evil is (in my opinion) simply that which cancels out or restrains influences for wellbeing. Acts can be of evil intent without simply being evil. For example cruelty is an evil act but not all evil acts are cruel sometimes they can be seemingly pleasant, kind or beneficial, while ultimately benefiting only one or a few at a high expense to the many.

It is complex but it is the natural reaction of some people when faced with immediate and inevitable danger to simply deny it. They know it is illogical to deny the inevitable but out of sheer desperation do so. It is akin to your mother telling you that if you ignore the bully he or she will go away. When asked what reason "THE GOVERNMENT" could have for such a conspiracy, they will ignore that too, "who knows why they do what they do? They are the government" Why would most of the scientific establishment be involved? "Oh well *scientists* you know what they are like" Years ago when there was a flood it was "God is angry", then it was "Witchcraft", then it was "Scientists pressing buttons, making explosions and giving us rotten weather in the summertime" and today it is "The government is not protecting us properly and blaming *climate change* trying to shift the blame on to us!" Freeze, ignore it, blame someone else, deny it! Then go back to pumping tons of shit in to the air so you can drive a big car, fill your home with fossil fuel guzzling unnecessary energy consuming devices to dry your hair, polish your toe nails and perm your cat.

You can’t be gay and be a Christian.

You can but why would anyone want to be part of an organization that venerates a book and by extension a god who thinks you worthy of death and damnation for loving someone they think you should not. THAT has always been the great mystery to me

One would be too many. I am not hypocritical enough to say I disapprove of slaughtering animals, when they are going to be eaten, however this is slaughter for ritual, done in such an inhumane manor and is simply indulging in blood lust for superstition with the goal of pleasing Gadhimai, the goddess of power out of the belief that animal sacrifices to the Hindu goddess will end evil and bring prosperity. They do not even eat the meat from the animals (other than the goats) it is a disgusting waste and cruelty for cruelties sake

The Mormons do, they believe god lives on a planet orbiting the star Kolob at the center of the universe, that there are quakers living on the moon and people inhabiting the sun. All in the Mormons third book of scriptures "The Pearl of great price"

Relics and the simonic trade in relics is a hold over from the money making churches of the middle ages, it is frankly the selling good luck charms for the Christian sheep who need something to focus their faith upon.

Religious freedom

Religious freedom legislation is a misnomer, it is basically a freedom to hate and an exception from anti prejudice law based on the words of a fictional character.
