We pretty much already have this in the UK, people on disability benefit are "reassessed" every year, two years, four years or six years, depending on the condition and the likelihood of improvement or recovery. Even though my wife's conditions are incurable because a none medically qualified assessor decided last year that she had shown improvement we lost £100 a month in benefits, a month after that she was diagnosed with arthritis on top of everything else but cannot be reassessed for another five years.

Do you think there's a posibility of extraterrestrial life and why?

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 8, 2020:

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)

How do you stop swearing?

LenHazell53 comments on Jan 7, 2020:

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.

I found this scripture for my wife since I am agnostic and she is a Christian.

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.

For that to happen human actions would have to be subject to totally objective rules of morality, taught and enforced from birth with no room for maneuver in any circumstances whatsoever. Since moral absolutes do not exist and all behaviour is subjective, responsibility and accountability becomes relative to circumstance. One person may fully feel they have taken responsibility for an action while another person may feel that the same subject has unjustifiably totally abnegated themselves from all accountability

Prayer Doesn't Heal People—At Least I Hope Not

LenHazell53 comments on Dec 30, 2019:

If prayer actually worked there would be no world, either consciously or subconsciously everyone would be the subject of another persons prayer for them to fail or die. For every healing prayer their would be a prayer for genocide of one race or another, for every good thing that happened to anyone there would be a prayer for them to suffer as unworthy of that good fortune. For everyone suffering as the answer to a prayer there would be a prayer to kill the god who granted it and the supplicant who asked for it. Prayer is a way for priests to play the odds, if you pray and it is apparently answered, that proves god, if it is not, you're faith was not strong enough, or god said no for purposes of the greater good. Win win win situation.

avant garde a·vant-garde /ˌaväntˈɡärd/ noun a style of "art" created by attention whores...

LenHazell53 comments on Dec 30, 2019:

Avant-Gard was originally a military term, but from 1825 became associated with an early socialist art and lifestyle movement. By the 1920's it had be largely hijacked by the so called "Bright young things" as a form of social rebellion based on the idea of the "Shock of the new" deliberately breaking social norms and introducing "odd" new ideas suck as "diversity, equality both social and racial, welfare and government responsibility." In cinema it lead to the impressionist movement, in art the cubists and the abstract and in photography in the whole photomontage and special effects movement determined to disprove the idea that the camera never lies. After the rise of fascism in Europe the movement faded (or was crushed by Nazi classicism) but reemerged in the 1950s on radio in shows like "round the horn" and "the Goons" in cinema and again in architecture until it was superseded by the "Post Modernist" movement of the 1950's and sixties which was then wrecked by intellectualism in the 1990s who broke it in to Postpostmodernism, brickolage, magic realism and a dozen other meaningless terms.

LenHazell53 comments on Dec 28, 2019:

Despite lots of pessimism expressed here, and I realise it may take longer in America than elsewhere, but I give it three more generations in none theocratic countries before the "Nones" are in the vast majority. In the UK the amount of regular worship attenders is less than 6.3% (English Church Census 2008 ) and most of those are JW's, Mormons, Muslims and Jews. Most non white attendees are over sixty in the mainstream Christian churches or average over 30 in none white Christian churches where child attendance is usually compulsory. Many denominations of Christians CANNOT recruit new clergy to the point where some methodist ministers are covering up to five congregations and Cof E churches are closing and or are being sold at an unprecedented rate. In the Scandiwegian nations it is already far more advanced with less than 2% of the population identifying as Christian or church going. I hope I will live long enough to see it, if the world's societies survives that long.

NO, let the fools err and err again, learn from their mistakes and only when you can proceed in certainty do so, THIS is wisdom.

I was having a conversation with a Christian friend about free will.

That is not an explanation of free will, it is an explanation of how the Christian god is a complete and unmitigated bastard.

In "The Monster Club" by R. Chetwynd-Hayes 1975 Eramus The vampire extols on the monstrous credentials of the human race What can he do? In the past 60 years Hume's have exterminated over a hundred and fifty million of their own kind! No effort has been spared to reach this astronomical figure and the methods that they have used must demand our unstinted admiration. You know Humes began with certain very serious disadvantages but these they overcame with wonderful ingenuity not having a fang or a claw or even the whistle worth talking about they invented guns and tanks and bombs and airplanes and extermination camps and poison gas and daggers and swords and bayonets and booby traps and atomic bombs and flying missiles, submarines, warships, aircraft carriers and motorcars. They have even perfected a process whereby they can spread a lethal disease on any part of this planet not to say anything about nuclear power. Oh oh and during their short history you know humans have subjected other humes to death by burning hanging decapitation, strangulation, electrocution, shooting, drowning, crushing, racking, disemboweling and other methods far far too revolting for the delicate stomachs of this august assembly.

What do you think of the concept "guns don't kill people, people kill people?"

Have you noticed how many people who have played Jesus went on to play the devil in horror films?

Strongest argument made by atheists

Show me actual evidence for the existence of a god, any god, you don't have any? Fair enough until you can I will assume you're full of shit.

How long would be long enough?

Tolerating this shit hole has been a struggle so far, I've long said 70 years will be more than enough for me, but if I go tomorrow I will have achieved everything I ever wanted to do and am pretty sure my family is provided for adequately.
