The actual term in the old testament is לֹא תִּרְצָח (lo Tis-ahc) a -phrase that is often translated as do no Murder, though it is actually far more specific, it refers only to the killing of a fellow Jew, by a Jew. There is no admonition against killing gentiles and animals in any version of the ten commandments. In effect the Thous shalt do no murder is over ridden anyway by "a life for a life" Deuteronomy 19:21 a favourite of the advocates of capital punishment.

Given human mentality, there is only one reason we would invest the enormous amounts of money required for interstellar exploration and that would be profit. Therefore the religion of the "savages" we encountered would matter no more to the church than the religion of the "Injuns", Inuits, aborigines or Māori did. Their "primitive" belief would just be something for them to be saved from after we had conquered them, civilized them and exploited all of their resources.

Dual meanings

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 16, 2020:

Most words that are true homonyms (same spelling different meanings) have root words from different languages such as in the word homo in homonym in English can mean either "Man" from the Latin or "same" from the Greek (it also means come along in Native Hawaiian) Since English as a language is made up of Greek, Latin, Danish, Normandic French, Dutch, Jute, Celtic, and Proto Germanic, as well as Gaelic, Welsh, Saxon Gaulish etc it is inevitable that the same basic sounds have entered the language with vastly differing meanings and functions. The word Bank for instance has ten dictionary definitions and almost countless colloquial and regional variations as a verb, noun, adjective,and so on all with different etymological roots.

I also found evidence of a medal for valour being presented to him for breaking a fifth columnist sabotage ring at Woolwich Arsenal (the actual arsenal not the football team) I did a little digging and discovered that the CIA of WW2 was not the central Intelligence agency it was in fact the Chief Inspector of Armaments department and that my Grandfather had been recruited because of his involvement with the Temperance movement, (Apparently not drinking alcohol was an indicator of strong character) leading to his splitting his service time (Yes this was considered a part of the armed forces) between actually inspection and as a deep cover agent rooting out saboteurs and traitors.

[huffingtonpost.com.au] How to recognize a fake news story. We all need to read this.

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 12, 2020:

What might be a start is to ban the term fake news and replace it with the altogether more accurate terms LIE and LIBEL in the reporting of deliberate deception by news outlets and other published material, and for the authors and publishers of same to be prosecuted. Fake news is one of those deceptively innocent phrases such as "fibbing" and "banter" that seek to minimize the the dangerous and criminal intent of the perpetrator. The News of the World was closed down in 2011 over criminal breaches of the code of conduct for reporting today it would not have even missed a beat or an issue. Freedom of the press is not freedom to deceive but on the other hand calling legitimate reporting "Fake news" is not acceptable either. There must be a legally enforced consensus that news outlets must publish only the truth as truth and that rumour and speculation have no place mascaraing as such and must provide clear indication that this is the case, while outright lies must be prosecuted as such. The media must be made a trustworthy source of genuine information, not a place to go mining for diamonds of truth in cesspools and slurry hills of metaphorical shit.

adjective informal adjective: apoplectic Overcome with anger; extremely indignant.

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 12, 2020:

Though it is widely thought apoplectic derives from Latin the apoplecticus,via the Greek apoplektikos "disabled by a stroke, crippled, struck dumb, senseless; crippled, palsied," or apoplektos, "to strike down and incapacitate" some lingusit argue that since these words themselves have no discernible origin they may share a root with the predynastic Egyptian demon named Apophis the great sky wyrm and demon of chaos born from the umbilical chord of Ra, who in similar fashion to Prometheus was doomed to attack the Sun Barge each night and be slain by Set or Amun by decapitation (the legend varies) only to rise again the next day and die all over again.

Best Picture I would like to see Joker win, but it is probably too controversial and will go to PARASITE because A) it is deserving, B) it is a diversity choice that is PC and C) Most people will only have pretended to have seen it and so will humph approving and try to look in the know while whispering "Quite so, quite so" Best Director Todd Phillips and Bong Joon Ho won't stand a chance because any of the other nominees will be seen as receiving a life time achievement award before being put out to pasture

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 6, 2020:

Modern definitions of Shambles tend toward either a simple mess, or a disorganised market place or medieval shopping center such as the the famous shambles in York city (see below) However predating all of these was the Witch's Shambles, which a form of fortune telling or prophecy device made up of a number of random objects all found in one place that instinctively fit together to form patterns that can be interpreted. (from sċeamol a three legged stool used by a fortune teller) Reading the entrails of a slaughtered animal for instance is a shambles, casting the bones of a dead animal or bird is a shambles or in some cases reading a birds nest especially one with eggs still in it is a shambles. Terry Pratchett used this in some of his stories however in a Discworld shambles it was usually the random contents of a witch's pocket that was used to make a shambles.

The young boy's tragic death shed light on a loophole Senator Jacque says needs to be fixed. In 2016, after allegations of neglect by his mother, Ethan Hauschultz was placed in the care of his great uncle Timothy Hauschultz and his wife, Tina, just outside Manitowoc. "He was placed with somebody who should not have been entrusted with his care. I mean, there were red flags all over the place," says Sen. Jacque. In April 2018, Ethan died after court records say he was beaten by the Hauschultz's then-14-year-old son Damian and, at the direction of Timothy Hauschultz, was forced to carry a piece of wood outside in the snow for two hours as punishment " According to several source the punishment in question however was not a failure to learn bible verses but was for impudence to a school teacher. https://www.wbay.com/content/news/Ethans-Law-Drafted-After-Young-Boys-Tragic-Death-566381831.html

Interesting when you consider "androcide" (the antonym of femicide) is NOT a criminal offense in any country in the world, and is only a war crime if it is the specific targeting of enemy boys who may grow up to be combatants. Murder is murder, homicide is none gender specific (Hom being from the Greek homo meaning of the same type or species, not the Latin Homo meaning male)

In the eyes of the world from now on, this is American Justice. Kangaroo courtsmanship, Kafkaesque nightmare government and the certainty of what has been long suspected, the USA is a corrupt dictatorship.

Having been brainwashed into religion as a child and deceived by it for so long I'm now a hard line ...

Fear of death being the end, that is all. I find the idea of an eternal soul and everlasting afterlife to be an abomination. The thing that makes life bearable is the knowledge that it ends, completely.

Trump takes advice from a Prosperity gospel preacher? Wow who would have thought the president would be associated with a scam artist?

I have often pointed to people that things they quote me as bible verses are actually Shakespeare, Byron, Lord Tennyson, Franco Zefferelli, Douglas Adams, Blake and on one memorable occasion Victor Mature in Demetrius and the gladiators. The reverse is also true, when I pointed out You should "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them" to one evangelical, she sneeringly asked me what moron said that, and I was happy to tell her.

“WWJD: he would have made a whip and beat the crap out of him!!!!” Howard-Browne tweeted. I believe the good reverend has revealed a little too much about his own private Jesus slash fiction fantasies in that tweet, don't you think?

Oh for fuck sake, I wondered how long before some bumblefuck clergy started to with this wrath of god bullshit. Well according to Judeo-christian mythology the Angel of death carries a might and sharp double edged sword and I think I might gladly start to believe in him if he stuck that might weapon right up the arse hole of Rick Wiles right in front of his TV audience of braying sheeple

Are we afraid of religion?

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 30, 2020:

Religion in itself is not the problem, it is the powerful positions it has placed its adherents in, the slavish brainwashed mentality of it's followers, the political and legal clout the institutions can exert and the persecution they can instill. Yes that frightens me, because it is real unlike he subjects of the so many conspiracy theories, religion is real, is powerful, is ruthless, merciless and lauds praises and honours upon those who are most insane among them for acts that if carried out for any other reason would be universally condemned. Religion is societies accepted madness and a poison imbibed with gusto by those who insist it is ambrosia.
