I have asked on social media, did God know Adam and Eve were going to sin when he created them.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 27, 2019:
In many of the earlier myths that eventually evolved in to the Jewish creation story, the forbidden action, be it an apple, a box, jar, potion or whatever was simply a test, the object of the object was not the prize of the thing itself but the choice to exercise free will, to realize they were independent beings, alive and free in order to raise up to being an equal of the gods. The Adam and Eve myth completely inverted this and made the story of apotheosis in to one of a fall and a reason to blame women for all the evils of the world.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 27, 2019:
The above is not a Syllogism, as such requires two premise from which a logical conclusion can be drawn. That which I believe you are trying to state, requires two consecutive syllogisms If it is assumed "God" created all things And if it is assumed "Evil" exists Then It must be assumed that "God" created "Evil" Therefore If it can be assumed "God " created evil And if it is assumed evil cannot come from the perfectly good The creator "God" cannot be perfectly good.
I have been seen a pretty disturbing trend in social media among Atheists over the years.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 27, 2019:
There is a difference between "disrespecting" an opinion and having "no respect for" the same. Religious people like to scream "Disrespect" at every opportunity, especially when they have no counter argument for points raised or a lack of logic pointed out. It is a basic ad hominem tactic. As is labeling atheism "new atheism" which basically amounts to atheists who are no longer frightened of being burned as heretics daring to speak out.

In a country like the USA where people cannot afford real medicine, because the state refuses its duty of care, the people will pay quacks and charlatans for the promise of a cure and place their "faith" in miracles. It is desperation that leads to this in 80% of cases the other 20% are suffering an even worse mania.
Has this season of Brexit jumped the shark?
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 26, 2019:
The serious problem with this attitude is that it is exactly how a significant minority of people ARE treating the who brexit mess AS A GAME. It is not a game it is the future of the nation It is the lives and wellbeing of our families it is the economic future The encouragement of people to think of it as something just to get done and go away is evil, it is rule of totalitarian by fatigue, the "Oh look just cut off my head, its got to be better than the interminable waiting for the blade to fall" The problem is of course that if the Brexit show is cancelled with a crash out, we do not go back to how thing were before we get Brexit anyway and all the consequences there of, simply because we got bored!
UNCONTROVERTIBLY.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 26, 2019:
Un-: means the opposite of UNCONTROVERTIBLE is an Americanism and appears only in the Merriman Webster dictionary, in all other English language dictionary the Prefix IN-: is used meaning as you say not, hence INCONTROVERTIBLY. Though used as synonyms in the USA they are not. The difference is subtle UNCONTROVERTIBLE means *must not* be contested, challenged or debated (Eg. Theoretically Scripture is UNCONTROVERTIBLE ) INCONTROVERTIBLE meaning that any CONTRARIAN argument will be defeated because the stated position is axiomatic and *cannot* be disputed.(Eg a square has four sides and four equal angles is INCONTROVERTIBLE.) The latter is the word you have defined.
Anyone ever notice that the crucified Jesus is shown in pictures as being both nailed and also tied ...
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 25, 2019:
The word for hand in both Greek and Aramaic includes the wrist, but was translated simply as hand. It was long since recognized that the hands were not capable of holding the weight of a body, so artist took to painting the wrists as ties and the hands pierced. However in Latin the words are different and in the accounts of the followers of Spartacus and his followers it is clearly stated in the Roman history that they were nailed by the wrists and feet. But of course in the minds of medieval theologians the Bible could not be "wrong" so hands it had to be. Crucifixion was still being used as a method of execution as lates as the first world war and it was always wrists that were nailed. Hence when the Shroud of Turin was faked during the renaissance the the image is shown as having been nailed through the wrists, because in the 15th and 16th century this was how people were still being crucified.

How come some people on this site talk about worshipping the devil.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 25, 2019:
Many Christians claim that not being a Christian means you are Satanic, and that non believers are only claiming to be atheist as (to them) there is no such thing as an atheist. Hence all atheist are devil worshipers since they are doing the devils work by drawing worship away from Christ. The technical term is "Bollocks"

TAM O’SHANTER.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 25, 2019:
Billy Connoly has a home in the highlands Scotland and tells the story of how he was presented with a Tam O'Shanter by a fan. He found it surprisingly warm and decided to use it as a fishing hat. One evening when out fishing a local man walked past, and in Billy's own words this man was wearing the bluest suit you ever saw, the bluest of blue colouring, the sort of blue that does not announced that it is mildly and pleasantly blue, but the sort of blue that grabs you by the throat and yells in spit speckled tones of violence in your face "BLUE!!!!" Attempting to not stare and to be pleasant to a neighbour Billy bid the man a good evening. With all th haughtiness of a true Scot, the man in blue sniffed derisively and glaring at the Tam O'Shanter said "If I had a hat like that, I would no wear it"

[nbcnews.com] Will Trump shut down the government to fight impeachment?
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2019:
His presidency has been the biggest networking operation in history, it does not matter to him now if he leave the Whitehouse under a cloud, in a coffin, or in a police van. Like Nixon before him he will be pardoned, will go back to his work of schmoozing and will enact all the deals his time as dickhead in chief have allowed him to set up all over the world. He will forever have the secret service to protect him, grateful rich friends and the right to sign himself president Trump on every business document he ever signs. He is a made man, as are his idiot elder sons, his smarmy son in law, his protege daughter and the other two who have the sense to keep their heads down.
A White Trash Manifesto
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2019:
My father in a life time of working very hard managed to raise himself from working class to lower middle class and in all that time always voted Tory and held very right wing views. I asked him why once and his answer stunned me "I vote for the people who understand money" I pointed out the people he voted for only understood two things about money, how to steal it and how to hold on to it. He nodded sagely and tapping his nose said "Exactly" as if this explained everything. He is a fine example of the mentality of the poor who feel that somehow granting the favour of a vote to his "betters" will some how oblige them to look after him. He hates socialism but demands his old age pension as a right, his free NHS medicine, eye care and dentistry and will not believe that they did not come from "Mr. Churchill" winning "the war" which they did not, our health service and welfare state are all products of socialism. This is the problem with many of the "Greatest generation" they are convinced that people should know their place, be grateful for scraps, and worship the upper classes as benevolent god who they hope will smile upon them, pat them on the head and tell them what good boys and girls they are.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2019:
It is possible that the universe has some form of consciousness, not one that we would recognize as comparably akin to our own thought processes, more likely to be similar to an amorphous entity such as an amoeba. However consciousness as a fundamental entity that exists both inside and outside brains is a concept I find unlikely. Consciousness is a result of active thought and is simply a descriptor to differentiate waking and sleeping, or active and passive states of brain function. It is purely a set of internal chemical and electrical functions of the brain.

Here is a rather interesting religious twist
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2019:
There are varying interpretations of the carpenter of Nazareth in Hinduism, some seeing him as an historical figure embodying the missionary spirit, others seeing him as a yogi (see a Hindu view of Christ (Branden Books, 1949) by Swami Akhilananda) Yet others such as Gandhi and Radhakrishnan looked at Christ seeing him as an avatar of divine origin. So basically you should have no real problems if you wish to do this with the Hindus if not the Christians.

ROTOSCOPING.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 23, 2019:
Ralph Bakshi was infamous for rotascoping and was often vilified for it by other animators, even though he often pointed out the technique had been learned at Disney studios, who swore blind they did not use it, even though they did as was proven when footage of Marjorie Celeste Belcher (AKA Margie Bell) was unearthed in the 1970s of her performing as Snow White for the Disney movie animators to rotoscope back in the 30s. The technique was invented by the Fleisher Brothers of Popeye fame.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 22, 2019:
Spacial description followed by temporal description almost always precedes a physical description, in common speech, probably as an aid to mental visualization. The building before them was ancient and decrepit, for example allows for building up of a picture A building, subject sets up what, before them, where it is, ancient, from when, decrepit how it stands. Descriptors basically follow a variation on Kipling's honest serving men Who/What, Where, when,how, why (Though "when" can be transposed to almost anywhere in the sentence and retain meaning especially if it remains adjacent to the subject) The carpenter (who/what) approaching (where) appeared youngish(when) agitated (how) but purposeful (why) However if the writer wishes to invoke suspense and mystery information is released in reverse he or she might say Before them (where) a decrepit (rot? what is rotting?) old (the cause of the rot) building (Aha now it is revealed to me) the picture emerges slowly as if appearing out of a fog. Purposefully approaching them, was an agitated, youngish looking carpenter. You might also look in to the difference between the passive and active voice to get more insight in to this. A similar trick is used to great effect in Star Wars when Yoda speaks, by preceding the subject with the action or object and finishing with the verb his ever utterance is mysterious and reveals only slowly what he means. "Lost a planet, Master Kenobi has, how embarrassing" "When 400 years old you are, look so good you will?"
Heavy metals in baby food? Noooooo.. I'll breast feeding so much longer!
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 22, 2019:
Breast milk is obviously the best food for infants however as stated in the International journal of analytical chemistry April 4th 2018 "Samples were collected from 42 nursery mothers with an average age of 28.3 ± 7.08 years delivered at full term (38–40 weeks) of gestation. All samples were obtained from nursery mothers' 3–520 lactation days postpartum during the hours of 08:00–11:30 a.m... (contained) concentrations of essential elements and heavy metals were as follows: **sodium** 330 ± 417 mg/L, **magnesium** 32.6 ± 15.5 mg/L, **phosphorus** 156 ± 46.2 mg/L, **potassium** 488 ± 146 mg/L, **calcium** 193 ± 53.2 mg/L, **iron** 1.65 ± 1.43 mg/L, **copper** 0.54 ± 0.46 mg/L, **zinc** 2.89 ± 3.23 mg/L, **arsenic** < 1 μg/L, and **lead** < 1 μg/L. Concentrations of heavy metals in maternal breast milk may have the important implication that it is not affected by environmental pollution in this province." Most of these naturally occurring minerals are the self same trace element being over reacted too in this latest "moral panic" being used to sell newspapers, and click bait websites

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 21, 2019:
Scar mongering nonsense all most ALL food contains such heavy metals as Nickel, cadmium, mercury, zinc, arsenic,Chromium, sodium, potassium, uranium, copper and selenium . Organic brown rice, bananas, nuts (especially wall nuts and Brazil nut), and leafy green vegetables, fish (ALL FISH) even water contains trace amounts of these metals and ALWAYS HAS, in some cases lack of these minerals can cause ill health. Only lead is a dangerous none naturally occurring contaminant found in foods, but the minuscule amounts entering the food chain are decreasing as the internal combustion engine both improves and is being phased out. You are more likely to get lead poisoning from living and breathing near a major road than through ingestion. The key word is TRACE, in food sciences trace can mean as little as 1 part per Billion.

Well just to be pedantic they don't actually mean the same thing what is upon? is archaic and inquires after the mental state of the interlocutor as in What is upon your mind? Replaced now with What's troubling you? Where as "What's up" comes from what is uppermost in you life? and is a general inquiry after well being. The difference is subtle and stems from Up simply meaning moving higher and Upon being an order in which objects or concepts are stacked or ranked.

I have seen this venn diagram or variations on it many times before and I have always found it unnecessarily over complicated. ** Theists believes in the existence of god(s) regardless of evidence Atheists do not find sufficient evidence to do so.** Every thing else is either a personal choice or an inability to be decisive. None which ultimately needs to be labeled. The most simple test I can think of is if your child is dying is your first inclination to call a doctor or a priest to save then? If a doctor you are instinctively atheist, if a priest you are an idiot.
Heard about the heavy stone paradox the other day.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 20, 2019:
The paradox relies on a number of presuppositions all of which are purported by the Christian (and other) religions, but not by secular thinkers. First among these is the existence of a god(s) Second is that given the existence of such, he she or it is the creator of all things Third given that this too is so that the being is supreme and all powerful All of these things can only be taken on faith, or on faith in scripture as being true. If the god(s) don't exist the whole paradox is null and void If there is not a single creator or there is no creation there is no paradox If the god(s) do exist but are capable of lying there is no paradox If the creator god(s) are not omnipotent but have been lying there is no paradox. This is an ontological theological word game or riddle meant to pop the bubble of religious pomposity and nothing more.

The strap was used by some of my school masters, but most preferred the "Board ruler" a one yard long wooden rule, half an inch wide or the classic bamboo cane. However some teachers had imaginative and much worse punishments such as having you stand at the front of the class, arm stretched out palms up with a hard back book laid on each hand, dropping either book got you the strap, lowering your arms got you the strap, whimpering got you the strap. However an hour of holding out the books at arms length for an hour cramped up you shoulders for days after ward. Of course some of the less imaginative simply threw a broad eraser at your head with deadly accuracy. Of course if you went home and complained you got another smack of your parents for "showing them up" or shaming them by misbehaving in school

There is a story told by Winston Churchill in his biography that while on a train as young officer one of his companions was being noisy and troublesome. So the CO threw a bible at the man and told him to sit still and read every word of it. The chap reluctantly began to do so, however after a few minutes he began to giggle, whistle and make appreciative comments. Finally the CO lost his temper and demanded to know what the junior officer found so amusing. "I never read the bible before sir," he replied. "It's wonderful, wish I'd read it years ago." "Well good," said the CO "Which part do you like best?" "Oh this God characters sir," came the reply "He's great what a fucking bastard!"

The only answer most religious people have to this is the free will argument, but this of course if countered by the counter argument that god obvious does not view all his children equally nor love them equally as the free will and happiness of the pervert obviously overrides the freewill and happiness of the victim in this scenario. Or else that "god" is so keen on punishment rather than prevention that he will allow crime to happen just so he can punish and torture the perpetrator afterward. Either way this proposed god is a sick twisted and evil individual quite at odds with the purported loving god of the NT.

It amounts to a load of selfish greedy reactionary people between 30 and 80 basically saying "Up yours as far as my grandkids rights and lives are concerned, you lot are making me late for my mid morning Starbucks fix or nail bar appointment and by the time this is a real problem, I'll be dead anyway so fuck you!"

Is there any point in religious belief?
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 13, 2019:
Fear of reality is the main recruiting tool that religion remaining in its box of tricks and illusions. However more and more people have ceased to fear the idea that death is the end, even religious people find the traditional idea of heaven to be silly and the threat of Hell despicable. Mainstream churches are complaining that their congregations are dying off and young people are not coming in to replace the oldies. Though people in their fifties and sixties will claim a belief in god, most only attend church for weddings and funerals and christenings are becoming rarer as parents decide to leave baptism for the children to decide on when they get older. Religion is fading in the west (except for in parts of the USA) because desperation and poverty are fading in the west except for in the USA, it is no coincidence that people turn to god when there is no medical and welfare system to turn to and where losing your job can mean your children may die from a treatable illness but you cannot afford to pay for the drugs.

They can offer them fine, they can offer any extra curricular load of old shit they want to, the problem comes when they start mandating attendance as part of the actual curriculum and making educational qualifications reliant upon participation.
Your veiws on Spiritual?
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 13, 2019:
Spirit in any such context is indicative of a supernatural, or at least none material entity of phenomena that impact on the real world in one for or another. I reject that concept absolutely. The only other definition of spiritual is as relating to alcohol and or intoxication, I chose then to assume when anyone says they are spiritually motivated, they are admitting that they are as pissed as a fart and thus excuse the bullshit they are spouting.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 13, 2019:
Evil like good is purely contextual, governed by motive and circumstance. Nothing else not even intent. Acts and items cannot be inherently evil. If I kill a man to take his money, that is bad if I kill a man to stop him hurting a child that is right but neither action is evil or good. Part of the problem is that people confuse evil with immoral, bad, incorrect, unethical, wicked, pragmatic and a whole lot of other words carrying negative insinuations. Like these other word "evil" has particular connotation, it smacks of cruelty above all, of an absence of compassion, and of course a disrespect for life itself. Actual evil is rare because a fully evil act require that no good will come of it, not even joy or satisfaction to the the perpetrator. An act of pure good is done for no reason other than that is is a good thing to do, likewise an act of pure evil is done simply because it it is an evil thing to do. Imagine the mentality you would have to have to carry out purely evil acts.

Well what do you expect from an omnipresent god who likes to watch children being raped, does nothing to save them but forgives the rapist every Sunday for eating bread and drinking wine. If this god does exist he is an evil perverted fuckwit, but then again that would explain Joseph Smith being a Prophet
