[scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net] The New "N" Word is "Karen." Agree/Disagree?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 30, 2020:

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. The elderly keep religion alive and their children conform to please them and for peace, as the elderly die off so does their influence. 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 20, 2020:

It is a mistake to assume religion deals in right and wrong, or good and evil or even morality and ethics, they do not. Religion deals in Sin and Virtue, based solely on what their particular cult deems to be the preference of that particular deity at that particular time. This is extremely useful, especially at times of war, or social rebellion. For example if you want your flock to be in fear and crippled by guilt you find something completely natural and harmless that almost everyone does everyday and declare it a sin in the eyes of god. This immediately has a number of effects 1) It sets up an unpaid virtue police of people so determined to prove they are not sinning they will report those who they think (or want to think) are. 2) the guilt ridden will confess and leave themselves open to black mail if they do not atone 3) People will pay for forgiveness. 4) An appropriate punishment can be set, so instilling fear and obedience. 5) A virtuous hierarchy can seize power on deserved merit. 6) Natural disasters can be blamed on the sinners. This why most new religions immediately have a list of prohibitions for perfectly natural thing such as tea, coffee, pork, beef, homosexuality, masturbation, premarital sex, dancing or even chocolate. Conversely utterly horrendous things can be made to be virtuous and pleasing to god such as aversion therapy, forced purchase of religious items such as e-meters, mass suicide, prosperity gospels, exploitation, hating people of another religious persuasion, invasions of promised lands and the genocide or enslavement of the people already living there and extermination camps. Religion has nothing to do with good and evil, right and wrong and morality in the pragmatic or ethical sense at all, as I said it is all about subjective Sin and Virtue.

I have read widely in to the history and diversity of the various Bibles after becoming atheist and is has only gone to prove to me further how corrupt and twisted the "Good Book(s)" is. Variations in translation, canon, interpretation etc have simply proven to me there is no such thing as the one true Holy Bible, it all depends on where you were born as to which religion or denomination is more insistent that it has the "right" one.

Pascal's Wager = a straw man argument?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 19, 2020:

Pascal's Wager could be seen as a straw man, but it is frankly so inept that is hardy qualifies as a logical fallacy at all. As pointed out it is based upon presupersition, but is also reliant upon the idea that it should only be applied to the Christian god, when in fact the premise works equally well for any god or deity offering an afterlife or Parousia as a reward for a "virtuous" or "Sin" free life. For Pascal's wager to work, one would have to accept the entire pantheon of deity, known and unknown, and pledge allegiance to all of them in the hope of being forgiven by the right one for your eclectic fidelity and rewarded accordingly.

The idea of "the other" will stave off true globalisms so long as people see other people not as "truly" human because of minor difference, genetically, culturally etc. It will take a far greater "other" to bring people together united by being human, something not even remotely human that is a threat not to a way of life, but to life itself.
