LenHazell53 comments on Jan 18, 2020:

This is not new, I recall reading articles in the new Scientist 20 years ago about women working the arctic or antarctic while pregnant had discovered that their children even when moved back to temperate climates had a higher resistance to cold than either of their parents. This lead to research that discovered that environmental factor trigger in the mother the release of DNA modifying enzymes that predispose the embryo to climatic resistance. The same thing had been discovered in ant colonies thirty years ago, where a queen that had imbibed small amounts of pesticides gave birth the larva that were immune to the poison. It therefore long been known that implanting the embryo of one species in to the womb of another species wildly changes the temperament and physicality of the fetus which rarely if ever can be carried to term. The idea that DNA alone predetermines the outcome of the pregnancy, has long since been debunked

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 11, 2020:

Fear has historically and etymologically always only had two meanings Fear from Old English fær "calamity, sudden danger, peril, sudden attack," from Proto-Germanic *feraz "danger" And Old English færan "to plot against," from Old Norse færa "to taunt." used to mean "to drive away by inducing fear," attested early 15c. Fear of God is quite literally that in the liturgical and theological sense, terror of that which cannot be stood against, capitulation and love for the undeniable overlord demanding appeasement and worship. The churches have always ruled by fear and terror, fear of Hell, fear of the inquisition, fear of the power of the church as representative of god incarnate.

By pure statistical likelihood it is more likely than not that there is extra terrestrial life in the universe, be it intelligent or not. It is equally likely that there is extra dimensional life (if quantum physics is to be believed) But as yet there is no actual evidence, or none that is widely known, it is therefore best to assume that it is irrelevant to us at this time. However on purely circumstantial evidence alien life is more likely than god(s)

The whole point of a "swear word" is to shock others or release personal frustration. Very few people are actually shocked by "Bad Words" anymore, though some might pretend to be and most understand if you hit your thumb with a hammer you are going to likely shout out profanities, so for the most part swearing has become obsolete. The intent put behind a word or phrase is what can be truly offensive, a bully need not swear to be offensive their words can be honey soaked and reasonable and yet by cadence and emphasis carry so much evil intent and implied threat it can send shivers of disgust and fear up and down your spine.

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 5, 2020:

Afraid not, this idea would contradict numerous biblical passages that "reveal" salvation must be accessed by personal obedience according to most leading theologians, the instead passage "means" that the unbelieving spouse's seed or egg are made pure (sanctified) so that children of a mixed marriage are not tainted at birth anymore than they already are by the sin of Adam and Eve. The passage is not a get out of Hell free card for the "erring" spouse but does save the believing spouse from their uncleanliness. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament states: “the unbelieving husband or wife is relatively set apart through his or her believing partner, and abiding in the natural union instead of breaking it by leaving, receives a spiritual influence holding the *possibility* of actual conversion” (and therefore salvation) W. E. Vine

What is spiritualism?

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 1, 2020:

Spiritualism is frankly bollocks that I wasted a couple of years of my life on. The cult was originally founded by seamstress sisters Leah, Kate and Maggie Fox, who started it as a scam in 1848 to sell cotton underwear to "the faithful" who they explained needed it in order to be in tune with the "dear departed" ( a trick that was ripped off wholesale by the Mormons a couple of years later) The lie got way out of hand until the "religion" fractured in to two major sects "The spirtualist church" and the Christian Spiritualist." Each faction developed a major denomination Greater World Christian Spiritualism ( The Greater World Spiritualist League and The Greater World Christian Spiritualist Association) who follow the teachings of their prophet Zodiac, who relayed his holy text from beyond the grave to a string of mediums starting with Winifred Moyes and The National Spirtualist Union who follow the seven Principles of eternal progress and do not limit themselves to being Christian but embrace all faiths and oddly, those of no faith but who believe in eternal progress. THe NSU are by far the richer organization gathering most of their wealth from a string of "Colleges" teaching everything from mediumship to aromatherapy, tantric magic and crystal healing, selling endless books and holding weekly services with an entrance fee, and special events called transfiguration services that charge anything up to £50 a ticket (or did when I was there) depending on how famous the Medium is and who the "Philosopher" is philosophers in the NSU are those relaying the sermons on how to be a good spirtualist. Ironically very few denominations of wither branch use seances or table tapping the methods used by the fox sisters, but instead cold read audiences, some put on quite a good show, in the UK in late eighties a (sadly now deceased) Rosicutionist Medium named Mick Foley commanded big audiences large fees and was one of the funniest men I have ever seen, you did not leave his meetings enlightened but you were happier then when you went in. My personal favourite was a woman going by the name of Little Nell, who was in her 90's and had been a medium for over seventy years, she famously told one patron "I have your mother here" The woman cried "My mother is not dead, I just left her at home" "Oh," Said Nell then added. "Still that was over an hour ago wasn't it" Sending the poor congregant screaming in to the night.

Do I hear the "Me Tooers" and "Women are not violent" screaming about male violence by the Pope?

About time too, he war on marijuana was never about drugs anyway it was a protectionist law instigated by the timber, paper, oil and pharmaceutical Industry to stop the use of cannabinoid plants in providing cheap and effect replacement products.

HAPPY 2020!
