"most folks can agree that we "create our own reality" Who are these "most folks" to whom you refer? I am unaware of them. We perceive reality we do not create it, and having perceived we adapt accordingly. Nor do we create our own gods, gods are a logical impossibility, our ancestors imagined god(s) extrapolating from their limited knowledge of the nature of reality and of human behavior as potential causes for what they could not explain. Having chosen to believe in that imagining until something better came along they indoctrinated subsequent generations in the false belief that these products of imagination were actual and factual, citing lack of evidence as proof of their mystic nature. Unfortunately in the meantime also becoming obsessed with protecting their intellectual properties, for the same reason we do to today, to maintain their ability to make and or extort money and wealth from the ignorant. So much so that they instigated pogroms, wars and holocausts to preserve their cash cows.

Forgiveness must be earned and unlike the stupid Christian definition of he word to forgive someone DOES NOT mean you also forget what they have done, that is a simple and open invitation to further criminal activity, trust too must be earned or in such a case re-earned. IF Judgement is based on the proven illicit actions of the perpetrator then no it is not hypocritical to judge others, your own actions, habits or mistakes have no bearing on what they have done whatsoever. Hypocrisy is more to do with assessment, false comparisons and self aggrandizement than judgement of others

A question: There is a bill circulating in the Utah legislator to legalize polygamy.

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 28, 2020:

This is why they use the word Polygamy (many wives)in the hope the inequality will not be noticed, the word for many husbands is Polyandry to be completely fair they should use the word polyamory which simply means many lovers. **EDIT** *It has been pointed out to me that Polygamy actually means Many Marriages, not many wives, and that as of the end of the 19th century could therefore be synonymous with polyamory, prior to that time since a woman could not legal marry a man (she had to be married by him) it was always used to mean many wives (Bigamy was the crime of having more than one spouse male or female). However today Polygyny is the offense of having more than one wife, and polygamy has replaced bigamy as the offense of having multiple spouses*

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 26, 2020:

In the UK there is now a system in place where if a Doctor believes a child is being denied medical care on religious grounds, an emergency hearing can be held before a judge within 12 hours, making the child an immediate ward of the court and allowing the doctor to do their job. This came about after children of Jehovah's witness's died after demanding **their** religious "rights" be respected over and above and above the child's right to stay alive. Any parent, in my opinion, who denies their child life saving medical treatment on religious grounds is a fucking negligent parent at BEST and a fucking murderer at worst.

I am not entirely familiar with the matter, but I do know Matt and Beth have been divorced for a number of years, that the divorce stemmed from incidents when at the same time she leveled allegations against Silverman and also accused Dusty Smith (Cult of Dusty) of the same thing at the same conference. Her account of the encounter with Silverman was, to me, very dodgey and included the claim that their "flirtations" included role play and a "safe word" which Silverman respected, and yet which she still deemed as inappropriate, despite the fact the Beth and Matt had a famously open marriage. To be honest given the choice between the three of them I would trust Matt far more than Beth or the notoriously volatile David, but that is just an uninformed opinion on my part.

You can be a good person despite your religion or lack thereof. The main difference is that atheists do not believe that theists deserve to be tortured forever because they disagree. Many theists will say they don't believe that, but will still worship a god that hold that as a just doctrine and abnegate themselves from all responsibility by claiming they cannot know the mind of god, while still claiming a relation ship with said god.

One of the fascinating things I discovered when I was researching my family history was that my Grandfather was a card carrying member of of the CIA during world war two, this was even more amazing since the CIA was not founded until 1947. 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.

Thanks @Sheannutt

Strong women and men are often perceived as strong people, cold mean mean people are usual perceive as nasty bastards because they usually are. Gender or sex has nothing to do with it, being a bastard has never been the unique province of one gender or the other, every has the right to be an arsehole if they are willing to live with the consequences.
