Why do they worship?
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 13, 2019:
Ritual repetition, routine and self justifying circular reasoning are known to assist in brainwashing and the suppression of individuality. Combined with fear based carrot and stick consequences and the punishment of "wrong thinking" from a very early age religion can become very addictive.

He thought gawd would protect the children from his disgusting negligence since it was by divine command. Male and female circumcision is a filthy abomination, mutilation and an abuse that should be outlawed in civilized society other than in cases of medical need ( I am assured by a doctor friend of mine that there are two conditions that do occur naturally that require partial male circumcision, none that require full ones in males and none that require anything like the mutilation required by female circumcision)

[newyorker.com] Why Trump, facing impeachment,warns of civil war?
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 10, 2019:
The west is moving toward the unavoidable conclusion that what is in the public interest and those things members of the public are interested in; they are not necessarily the same. One person one vote democracy was introduced for the governance of city states divided between patricians and the proletariat not for countries comprised of literally millions of essentially equal and partially educated people. The new system that will inevitably replace it will be totally alien if brought about by force of arms, the only way to avoid this is to bring about a revision of the system by taking away the simple right to vote and replacing it by a system of *meritorious earned votes*. In short you must accept that though you have the right to vote, that right comes with responsibilities, the first of which is to express an interest by an application to vote. Once you have applied you must then prove by a simple test that you are knowledgeable about the system of government, the differences between political ideologies, this to be done by simple factual questions an 80% score being required to pass. Likewise politician must pass a similar test in order to stand for office and corruption in office to be punishable by a life time ban and heavy putative measures. On the basis of this once given a vote it becomes illegal NOT to vote (though in the absence of a suitable candidate you will be allowed an abstention vote) failing to vote to held on a level with wasting police time or contempt of court, and resulting in a fine and the loss of your right to vote for a set period of time. This will do away with the idea of farming votes from the ill informed and the fanatical In short it must be insured that democracy is taken seriously and in a spirit of understanding so as it can never again descend in to a simple popularity and reality game show. People's lives and society are far to important for that!

My wife and I have been married 40+ years.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 7, 2019:
One of the things that helped my wife follow me out of Mormonism was that when her health problems started she asked for her home teachers to give her a blessing they were too busy to do it, so she asked the bishop and he did not have time, so asked the stake president who ignored her and eventually a couple of missionaries turned up after three weeks saying that they had heard from someone that she wanted a blessing for some reason, but they could not do it because as I had not yet had my name removed they could only help me if I did it. She finally saw how little they actually cared if they were willing to morally blackmail me in to coming back. A week later she asked to see all my research on why I had left the church, and a couple of months after that we both had our names taken off the rolls.
How can I make people get it that I have left religion not community? 😔

Well you Americans faired better with you civil war than we did with ours in the UK, we had a war, executed our king, replaced the monarchy with a republic and won a great victory for democracy. Oddly the whole thing happened because the Parliament was illegal prorogued by the Monarch who thought he knew better than parliament, then later was prorogued again by Cromwell after he had won because he thought he knew better than parliament. Then a few years later we brought back the kings son and put him back on the throne, reinstated the monarchy, dug up the rebel leader's (Oliver Cromwell) corpse hung drew and quartered it and went back to exactly how things were before. All a bit of a waste of time really.

My dad (whose an Atheist) grew up Catholic for 13 years and hated confession day as a child.
LenHazell53 comments on Oct 4, 2019:
My favourite Catholic confessional story was told to me by my late writing partner who along with his brothers was raised in the faith. Apparently at their primary school they were given lessons in taking the Eucharist for the first time and then made to attend a confessional straight after for the first time. My partner was a very intellegent person as was his older brother and sister, the middle brother however was another story and had been last in the line when god was handing out the the brains. On being told the bread actually turned in to the body of Christ during the ceremony, he began to balk and refused to swallow, nor would he drink the blood of Christ. The officiating priest in fury ordered him to go straight to the confessional set up in the classroom for the lesson and confess to the priest inside what he had done. This lead to the whole class hearing the following loud exchange **"Fu guff mu faffer fu I huff sinned" *"What did you say boy?"* "Fuvivmufaffer uUhuvsinned" *"I cannot understand a word you are saying?"* Huawwwk spit, pluh "Aw for Christ sake father I just spat god out me gob and now he's all over the floor!"**

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 3, 2019:
No one has ever said "a certain first century itinerant rabbi from Nazareth did not exist" in fact we know at least nine of them did one of which was John The Baptist (lots of proof of his life and deeds but none for Jesus of Nazareth, probably because Nazareth was not built till 33 A.D.). What is contested is that that anyone one of them was the Jesus of the gospel stories, who is apparently a cumulative character made up of various stories, the teachings of and the death of all of them. The four canonical gospels agree on all most nothing, contradict one another and place various events at different times and places. When they do agree they vary on details and on philosophical and theological stand points sometimes in direct opposition to one another. If you include the apocryphal gospel accounts theirs are even more contention and the four bible bound stories are in the minority when it comes to agreement on anything where as Thomas, Peter, the gospel of the disciples, Judas, Mary and other all agree with one another to a much greater extent. Therefore, in much the same way as in the legends of Robin Hood or King Arthur, the contention is NOT that A Jesus did not exist but that that THE Jesus of the Gospels is a composite character made up of several other people and the deeds and teachings of many other people, and therefore as an individual did not exist and Certainly, Definitely was not born 1 A.D./C.E. (historically provable as Herod the great was dead by then) and did not die at passover 33 A.D / C.E. on Golgotha as Roman records of their equivalent dating existing from the time show no such execution of anyone of that name.

Not unusual Jean-François Champollion was a French scholar and the first man to translate hieroglyphics before the discovery of the Rosetta stone. When he began speculating that the Pyramids predated the "Flood of Noah" and that the Pyramid and coffin texts made no such mention of any such flood, he was bullied and persecuted by the Catholic church in to denying his own work, even after the discovery of the Rossetta stone proved him right. This is why this brilliant man is hardly known outside of the field of Egyptology even today.
Opinions please why besides self comfort do you think people believe that praying does anything?
LenHazell53 comments on Sep 30, 2019:
Confirmation bias. If for instance your child comes down with an infection and you pray for their recovery, and they do recover, it is very easy to attribute the recovery to the prayer rather than the medicine given by the doctor, and when this is pointed out to say something like, "The Lord guided the doctor to the right treatment" or "The medicine worked because of the prayer, or was enhanced by it" or "I told my husband the doctor was an unnecessary expense, but you know what he is like" and so on and so forth. For some however it is a way of confirming to one self that god takes a special interest in you personally. For example a Jewish acquaintance of mine (a fellow writer) once boasted to me of how they were still god's chosen people because her aunt had prayed for a new skirt and despite god being so busy with all the gentiles, he took time out to grant her request. The skirt as it happens was a birthday gift from a neighbor who noticed the need and was moved to kindness by nothing more than friendship, but of course this was not the case it was exclusively the work of "haShem"
Why is it that religious people think saying “well that was Old Testament” is a valid argument ...

Religious people will say any old crap, so long as it allows them to go on comforting themselves with idiot delusions that A) they are better than everyone else, B) they have no responsibility for anything and C) you can be as much of a bastard as you want all week so long as you eat bits of a dead Jewish carpenter in church on a Sunday

The religious professional cannot admit that Atheists simply do not believe, the concept is dangerous to them, they must maintain the illusion to their "Flock" that their is not a possibility of their NOT being a a god and therefore the atheist is in denial, is a liar and KNOWS the "truth" but ignores or denies it out of hate, or evil intent, or is like some celestial James Bond out to practice espionage on the divine plan of god and send everyone to Hell.

“I must not fear. Fear is the **mind-killer.** Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

My father did the same thing to my Mother, she was more qualified than he was so he never allowed her to work, as (he said) it would shame him if his wife earned more than he did or held a higher rank than he did. She being a "good Christian" went along with this and instead devoted herself to the salvation army and then later the Charismatic movement, that is when she was not completely screwing up her kids.
This came up on another post, but your opinions please ?
LenHazell53 comments on Sep 28, 2019:
A Theist philosopher is hampered by the fact that they can only follow a chain of logical thought until the point it comes in to contention with their faith, at which point such thoughts stop and either are abandoned or give way to apologetics. However should the chain of thought NOT come in to conflict with faith then the theist philosopher is potentially as adequate as any other.
