Triphid comments on Apr 20, 2021:

My suggestion is and would be to first get him/her to READ the Goat-Herders Guide to the Galaxy, a.k.a, the Holey Bible from cover to cover, word by word, line by line WITH a completely OPEN mind and question every single word of it bar none. Then, when that exercise is done, sit down with him or her and discuss it openly and as critically as possible. Trust me when I say it DOES work and in all my years I have actually converted many a Christfool from being a Faithfool to becoming either an Atheist or an Agnostic. It IS a somewhat slow and often laborious task BUT well worth it in the end.

Sore arm or genocide?

Personally, I'll take my chances on having a sore arm for a few hours or a day over copping a week or more on a Respirator and dying from C-19 any day. I much prefer being alive, seeing the sun shining every morning than being stone cold DEAD and rotting away in a box in a hole in the ground. However, and NOT wishing to sounds uncaring, etc, etc, here @Castlepaloma, there may well be an 'alternate' solution to your quandary. I think it starts with an S and ends with an E.

Sore arm or genocide?

Triphid comments on Apr 18, 2021:

It may well be worth mentioning here that, medically speaking, Vaccines do NOT produce Immunity as such, they do, however, produce a RESISTANCE to future Infections and the more and greater harmful/deadly results of such infections. Vaccines, i.e. immunizations, DO cause the Immune system of the body to produce NATURAL Anti-bodies specific to that infective agent though. To maintain that Resistance one must, when and if required to, keep up with the Booster Immunizations schedules. For example, Tetanus, MUST be given a Booster shot every 5 years. And as I have just learned via a phone cal from his wife, a very good and old friend of mine is now hospitalized AFTER simply stepping on a rusty nail poking out from a piece of wood which he chose to ignore, treated himself and NOW faces a very long and hard road and battle with Tetanus BECAUSE he chose NOT to have his Tetanus Booster when it was due. Sadly, my Friend, there is almost NOWHERE in this world that can truly claim to have the 'Best C-19 Prevention" since infections like viruses and the like KNOW no Boundaries, State, National or otherwise.

Luckily I knew where this little bloke lived so I returned to his somewhat worried mother much to Lorrae's disappointment.

Have fear, Friend, you are NOT alone in this, trust me. My 'mother,' if one can even call her that VERY, very loosely btw, was a cruel and inhuman Bitch who would literally flog me at every opportunity with the first thing that came to hand and whether I deserved it or NOT. USUALLY it was so she could avoid chastising her beloved daughters. I.e. I WAS the Whipping boy. Didn't do much good since ALL 3 out of her 4 daughters ended up in "Shotgun Wedding" situations and the 4th. was born sterile as was diagnosed when she reached puberty. My Dad, on the other hand, NEVER raised his hand to any of us, his method was to give a look that would scare the shit out of you, beckon with his finger and say, quietly and sternly " You know what you have done is wrong, NOW make amends for it." While " Queen Bitch", as I refer to her, was what I call a Christian of Convenience, my Dad was an out and out Atheist, I learned far, far more from him than I did from "Queen Bitch" about being a parent, a good and decent person, etc, etc.

Yes, some DO have hand-grips of sorts, I'll agree with that, BUT a Taser weighs a whole lot less than a pistol and I was extensively trained, back in the late 1970's to carry and use a Webley .44 calibre, to be exact, back when I joined the Australian Commonwealth Police. Even back then, hand-guns had Safety levers on them, Taser do NOT have either Safety levers nor Triggers/Trigger Guards, they are Switch or Button operated ans, imo, even blind Freddy could tell the difference.

Pat Robertson: God May Have Created the Earth in Six “Universal” Days | Hemant Mehta | Friendly ...

Triphid comments on Apr 14, 2021:

The Geriatric Old Fart is dribbling torrents of shit again I see. Big Sky Daddy 'created the Earth in 6 Universal days, did he/she/it? Well, according to Astronomers, who I trust more than the Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy btw, 1) The Sun rotates ONCE every 27 days upon its axis ( Observable and Observed), SO, how could Sky Daddy have realized or known this when, according to the Holey Babble, Sky Daddy DID NOT create the Sun UNTIL the FOURTH day? 2) A "Universal Day" implies logically that it MUST contain both a Sun-rise and a Sun-set, i.e. the entire Universe MUST then, rotate upon a central axis, WHICH according to Astronomers and their numerous observation it DOES NOT, ergo, there goes the "Universal Day" claim down the tubes completely. 3) Our Galaxy, the Milky-way, rotates on its CENTRAL axis once in every approx. 200 MILLION Years and, since Sky Daddy did NOT ' create ' the Stars in the sky until the 3rd. day, according to Genesis, so that piss-poor hypothesis kind of goes down like a lead balloon as well. I wonder does Pat the Prattlers Anus ever suffer from fits of Rage and Jealousy EVERY time his mouth usurps its job or did it just 'roll up its swag, clench its cheeks' and head off, decades ago, to enroll for Unemployment Benefits?

Long term effects of covid

Unfortunately and most sadly as well, it IS not just C-19 that has after-effects, though many of them are somewhat horrendous, other infections such Flu, Pneumonia, Pancreatic Infections, Liver Infections, etc, etc, can also wreak horrendous after-effects upon the patient/s as well. But, at least with the C-19 vaccinations those vaccinated have a far, far better chance of avoiding/mitigating those after-effects. Hence, when it comes to my turn to get the C-19 vaccinations I will be FIRST in line, sleeve rolled and ready, willing and waiting eagerly.

Q. 1 - God being a Non-Corporeal Entity beyond ALL Time, Space and Matter writes a book, a book made up of Matter, i.e. either pulped papyrus or treated skin, So, WHERE, HOW, WHEN and WHY did this ENTITY come to realize that such things as books, papyrus scrolls/parchments actually existed and writing upon them would also convey to others ( that did NOT exist at the time btw) the thoughts and words of this Entity? Q.2 - "In the Beginning there was the word and the word was with God, " -Genesis Chapter 1, Verse 1, Line 1, SO , a) what was this word, how exactly was this word produced/spoken by an Entity with no physical form, vocal cords, etc, etc, No atmosphere for the vibrations of the vocal to create and reproduce the sounds (vibrations) made by these vocal cords, Q.3 - This Entity, living alone in absolute nothingness beyond ALL time, Space and Matter DECIDES to create EVERYTHING from this absolute NOTHINGNESS, How is that done, Q.4 - This self-same Entity suddenly realizes that EVERYTHING around it is just Darkness, So, IT decides to create LIGHT BUT does NOT create a source of that LIGHT until much later, WHY and HOW, Q.5 - SINCE humans and Human languages have NOT yet been created/invented in WHAT language/script was this BOOK written?

Genetic Tracing of C-19 in a nut shell, Since the C-19, like most other viruses, can ONLY reproduce by invading and 'taking' over a living host cell by absorbing the genes, etc, contained in the Cell Nucleus, it also carries with it when it reproduces itself the genetic material of the Host cells as well. By breaking down a sampled virus cell from a patient, Scientists can now determine by back-tracking WHO was the first infected person in the chain of resultant infections, etc, etc.

Creationists Lash Out After Professor Demands “Higher Standards” in Science Ed | Hemant Mehta | ...

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2021:

Creationism in a nut-shell, A completely Non-corporeal Entity SUDDENLY decides to CREATE Everything and Anything from ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, First IT creates Light WITHOUT first creating a Source for the light to be emitted from, then creates darkness, which btw, is ALREADY there JUST in case the light it has created does NOT illuminate everything that it has NOT yet created. Then this Non-corporeal Entity decides to CREATE from NOTHING Planets, Stars and the like WITHOUT really knowing what they are in the first place,. Then, selects 1 tiny little chunk of rock, created from NOTHING and then creates ALL things living to reside upon it. Now we come down to Creationist Biology in a nut-shell, a) Does this Non-corporeal Entity REALISE that IT needs to create BOTH Genders of EACH species of living creatures, in numbers greater than a mere 2 or 4 so they can copulate and reproduce, b) This Entity then creates a male Human Being from dust, THEN decides to CREATE a Female counterpart for his Male Human Being by using a BONE from the Male, i.e. Cloning, c) the CREATED Male and it clones decide to get 'fruity', the Clone falls pregnant ( an IMPOSSIBILITY since it is a Clone with ONLY the X and Y Chromosome taken from a MALE in the first place), time goes by and the Male Human and the Clone Human eventually populate the entire planet, single-handedly so to speak. Yep, that makes about as much sense as holding an empty tumbler under a light bulb, throwing the switch and waiting for the tumbler to fill with a liquid fit to drink.

Weird, I sincerely doubt that there is an ACTUAL word in any Dictionary/Lexicon/Language that even REMOTELY describes exactly or precisely just how unbelievably strange, etc, etc, etc, that Church and Religious Culture truly IS. For example, ONE of my most favourite gut busting laughs comes from when a Christ fool tells me " Let Jesus into your heart and you WILL know the Truth." Yeah,right, IF anything I was taught in years as a Nurse it IS this, "Let ANYTHING, other blood or surgical Instruments UNDER controlled Cardio-Pulmonary Operations, and YOU will be DEADER than Julius Caesar, PERIOD." OR, " God and Jesus are with you EVERY moment of your life," well that explains WHY I keep tripping over things that aren't there, the dopey bastards haven't got enough brains to know when a bloke is TRYING to walk around the place then.

asked Australians if they believe in God or the supernatural. Here's what they said

Triphid comments on Apr 3, 2021:

Hey, we Aussies are widely known for our 'talent' of bullshitting when it comes to Opinion Polls and the like, are we not? It may be just me, but I seem to be a whiff of the ScumMO and Hillsong involvement here perhaps.

Triphid comments on Apr 3, 2021:

"Centre For Public Christianity" indeed, how more a totally biased an Opinion Poll can one get imo. 1,000 people surveyed, how more a pre-determined result can one expect? What did they do, hand out questionnaires at Sunday Services at a church or two OR head off to Nimbin and hand them out to the Hippie Community there at some obscure 'Weed Smoking Festival'? FFS, have they NOT heard of telephone surveys and the FACT that almost EVERY household in Australia has telephonic communication available in one form or another? Shit a brick, I've got a good and life-long friend who lives way, way beyond the 'Black Stump,' in the literal 'Middle of Nowhere' to be precise and we communicate regularly by both e-mail and telephone. Where these so-called Pollsters just too bloody lazy and bone idle to do AN ACTUAL Poll?

I'm fascinated by the question: Is reincarnation possible?

Triphid comments on Apr 3, 2021:

Re-incarnation or Species memory passed down through generation after generations? How do turtles who live most of their lives from hatchlings to adults manage to find their way back after so many years at sea to the EXACT same beach where their mothers laid them as just eggs? How do migratory birds KNOW the exact flight path that their ancestors flew many, many generations before them to get from point A to point B every YEAR? Or, for example, the sense of DeJaVu, loosely translated meaning " I've seen/experienced/been here/heard this before.?" In actual fact WE know far, far less about the workings of the Human Mind and Brain than we do about the Universe that surrounds us, imo, Space is NOT the Final Frontier, the Human Mind and Brain is the Final Frontier that has to 'explored' in its entirety. Although, imo, the mind is truly wondrous thing, it can and does play tricks upon us and does them so well that we so often tend to actually believe those tricks. As to the very REMOTE possibility of Re-incarnation AFTER DEATH, well when the body dies, it decays/rots away to become just the elements from which it was made from, the 'energies' that once 'powered' that body dissipate/vanish and become spread out through other creatures, etc, as nutrients, etc, for them just as does, for example, the stored Electrical Energy in a battery over time. Genetic resemblances may well re-cur through generation after generations BUT they are caused by the combining of the various elements that make up our genetic codes, not by some inexplicable, magical, supernatural effect/happening, etc, etc. They are, imo, just random chance occurrences, nothing more, nothing less.

It’s Not Burnout, It’s Moral Injury

Triphid comments on Apr 3, 2021:

Imo, it IS not just an 'injury' as such, it IS an Insult, Abuse, etc, etc, BECAUSE they have put their lives on the line, as Nurses ALWAY do, for the health, etc, of others, have driven themselves to the very verge of total exhaustion and more, put THEIR personal lives on hold, worked almost like slaves and now, it IS HIGHLY probable that many, if not ALL, will looking down the barrel of long-term PTSD as well. Contrary to 'popular belief', Health care Workers ARE NOT Robots, they ARE Human Beings, for the most part, they DRAW Upon EVER ounce of their Strength, Willpower, etc, etc, at EVERY single turn/roll of the dies, the toll it takes on them is truly unbelievable and unmeasurable. Trust me, I know from years and years in the Nursing Profession exactly what toll it takes to be in the Health Care Workers Role.

FFS, what demented Anal Sphincter squeezed this rank and fetid Turd out into this world? Let him hold his religious services BUT once the Church/Chapel is FULL, seal the doors and window shut tight and leave them that way. At least then the infected can go on and infect each other WITHOUT roaming around the countryside and infecting the innocents that they come across. It'll be like killing many 'pigeons' with just one stone imo.

Schitzlipz disease = a severe impaction of faecal matter in the Rectum causing the highly pressurized faecal matter to reverse flow and exude from the mouth and over the lips continuously. HOW, in the name of All things Reasonable and Logical can the Religious EVER hope to AGREE Rule the World when they still cannot AGREE whose God is the ONE True God?

FFS, according to the diagnoses of 3 Psychiatrists in 2001, I have been battling Chronic, Recurrent Depression, Anxiety Attacks, and Agoraphobia since my early teens and yet I have NEVER sought to harm ANYONE except myself on the few occasions where I attempted suicide. Trust me when I say that I AM NOT looking for sympathies, etc, here when I state that I HAVE suffered from the Abuses inflicted upon me by my 'mother' since as far back as I care to remember and was Sodomized by 3 men, no relation to me at all btw, at the age of 10. But, this filthy, child killing BITCH has NO excuses what-so-ever, imo, for her heinous crime.

Hmm, it seems that Jeebus Chrust and Sky Daddy are in need of more assistance when it comes to being the Great Peeping Toms of the Religious world. So, Chrustian Dave Ramsey has volunteered himself to fill the role. What's next I wonder? Will it be "up the skirt/dress inspections" for ALL Unwed Female Employees to ENSURE that the hymen is still intact combined with trained semen sniffer dogs for both Male and Female Employees posted at EVERY entrance? Will it be a pre-requisite of Employment that EVERY employee MUST allow their PRIVATE Abodes to be bugged and monitored 24/7, including bathrooms, etc, etc? Imo, KGB and Gestapo surveillance have now arrived in the guise of Good Christianity when it comes to being an employee of Dave Ramsey.

LOL, going through life with a name like 'Chuck Corner' makes me wonder what his parent were thinking, if they really were thinking that is, when they dubbed him with that name? OR, was it a kind of nickname/saying that arose regularly when Mummy and Daddy asked the question, " What do I do with baby?" And the answer was " Oh, just chuck him the corner so we can have a bit of us time."

Here's a random thought: If demonic possession is a thing, why isn't angelic possession?

Triphid comments on Apr 1, 2021:

Imo, this so-called 'possession' by demons is kind of Chrustian ( Christian) Alibi card in that it allows the holder to use it to escape the responsibility/responsibilities for their own actions and so as they can gain greater sympathy, etc, from their fellow sheeple as well. Plus, in their tiny, little, often unused brains they actually DO see themselves as being possessed (???) by not Angels BUT by Jeebus and God simply, imo, because those 2 have ALL the magical, imaginary power and Angels are mere minions at best. And yet, conversely, we NEVER hear about an Atheist/Agnostic becoming possessed by either demons or Jeebus/Gawd do we UNLESS it is when a Chrustian decides to accuse one of us that is or thinks ( a misnomer when it comes to the Sheeple) that they have converted one of us that is?

Study: Religious children are less able to distinguish fantasy from reality

Triphid comments on Mar 31, 2021:

As a Psychologist I see religion and children born into religious families as being akin to the old saying re-Mushrooms, i.e. "keep them in the dark and feed them on bullshit." Therefore, it IS only logical, imo, that secular children are far more apt to distinguish between fiction and reality than are those from religious up-bringing.

Church Tells Woman She Can’t Win Fishing Trip Raffle Prize Because of Her Gender | Hemant Mehta | ...

Triphid comments on Mar 30, 2021:

I'd loved to have seen that Jerk tell that to my daughter when she was still alive. She was mad about going fishing from when she was around 6 years old, wanted her own fishing rod and tackle box for Xmas by the time she was 8, ALWAYS managed to 'embarass' me EVERY fishing trip by catching more fish than me. Her biggest ever catch was in her words at the age of 6, " A whale," it turned out be a European Carp that measured out at a nice 'little' 24.5 inches in length and 11 pounds in weight. Caught on a line that had a 4 pound breaking strain and a piece of sausage for bait. I reckon IF he'd said that to Lorrae, she'd have kicked his arse so hard that he'd be very lucky IF it came rest around his ears.
