Triphid replies on Apr 6, 2022:

@Betty Yes but I assume that you are not aware of the Aussie concept, out here where i live, of treating those doing work at your house on your behalf as being friends rather than merely workers. Plus it has the added advantage of building up a better rapport with them the next time/s you require their assistance as well.

That is great. One more worry off the table and you get to enjoy your garden again. Will this be a regular thing? :)

Triphid replies on Apr 6, 2022:

Yes, I can now cross through the lawn in the rear of my property and start spraying the seedlings of unwanted plants and weeds as they emerge with Herbicide. Then I can re-commence my plan to create a set of plots to plant seeds for vegies suitable for each season, keep some, not a lot though, for my own usage and give the rest away to friends, neighbours and families who are "doing things tough" money-wise, etc. Pretty much like I've been doing around here for the last 10 + years.

@Betty I guess you may also like my mural around my front door, I'll add a photo later but it is my rendition of a shark with it its mouth wide open and you walk through it to enter the house. Originally I had painted it on the front fence but it actually managed to cause 2 car accidents in the space of 1 week where both drivers, separate occasions of course, became distracted, swerved the wheel and collided with a power pole. No-one was injured thankfully but the Police asked, very nicely and apologetically, IF I would paint over it, which I did.

@Betty Haven't started the " Dinosaur and Jeebus one as yet but it is definitely in the pipeline for another adornment for my front fence. Had the 2 ladies, the same sex couple btw, approach me late yesterday and we discussed the grief that Evangelidiot was giving them, then they OFFERED to pay me what ever price I asked to paint for them a sign like the one on my gate. They darn near caused a flood in my loungeroom when I told them that if they supply the piece of cement sheeting cut to the size they would require then I'd do their sign for them FREE of charge and even help them to hang it securely and solidly on their front fence as well. Dang, never ever been hugged and kissed by Lesbians before but it was an experience well worth having.

@Betty of my favourites was when I was at High School I spent a few hours at home painting a very official looking notice that I later put on the door of the toilets designated for the Female Teaching Staff . The sign read, "Users please , STANDING permitted for the next 48 hours as seat have been re-painted and replaced." And then, so as NOT seem Sexist, we did the same to the toilets for the MaleTeachers as well EXCEPT the request was that they must SQUAT and NOT sit or stand.

That reminds me of the old Ronnie barker joke "In the recent census it was revealed that 1 in 5 men work for the local council, the other four stand around and watch them."

Triphid replies on Apr 4, 2022:

Similar to how we refer to our local City Council but with a slightly different 'twist' to it. "Our Council works in the most wonderful ways, They have, 3 Experts who go out and spend an hour or 3 assessing whether or not the VISIBLE gap in the ground surface is ACTUALLY a hole or just a mirage, then they return to their Office, dink many cups of coffee and debate as to the status, etc, of the ground anomaly after which they hold more discussions BEFORE they determine the status of this anomaly, Next it is referred to the Council General Manager for his decision and once he has reached his decision, he rosters a team of 1 Supervisor, 1 Assistant Supervisor, 1 Civil Engineer, up to 5 Workers and 2 Work Trucks and then drafts out the orders that MUST approved by him BUT not until the City Mayor has been consulted as well of course. Usually by the time all the "Protocol" has been followed correctly, some enterprising member of the public has managed to fill in the hole/gap by merely mixing up some rapid setting concrete on-site, pouring it in, smoothing it off and headed back home for well earned coffee. As the ages old local saying has always gone, " IF you want something done, do it yourself, IF you want nothing done about something urgent or necessary CALL the Broken Hill City Council."

I rang the radio station at about 8.30 am and by 8.45 am when I was taking Lorrae to school there was still heavy traffic heading east-wards out of town, when we got to the school, Lorrae was told that most of the Teachers had left in a real hurry about minutes ago and all were heading in the same direction.

Triphid replies on Apr 2, 2022:

@Lilac-JadeCanada Have ABSOLUTELY NO fear of that EVER happening, learned my lesson about 5 years ago when I, through being the person I am, got permission from some very old and respected friends to harvest dead wood from their property, approx.95,000 acres in size btw, for usage as firewood in both his house and in my own. Things SEEMED to be going well UNTIL by sheer accident I answered my home phone one day to hear a caller wanting to place an order for 1 and a 1/2 tons of firewood and expecting the load to be delivered asap. The asking price, $ 285.00 per ton plus $15.00 delivery and I knew absolutely NOTHING at all about his USING me and my decades old friendship with these people to make HIM some extra cash on the side. When I confronted him he proudly informed me that he was making quite a nice income by keeping half of each load we collected for himself, supplementing it with scrap timber, etc, he'd gained from the local Rubbish , etc, etc, and selling the rest. Needless to say, my friendship with the Property Owners still remains strong but he has a WRITTEN Document from the local Magistrates Court that states clearly. " Should He ever set foot upon their Property EVER again they will have him arrested and Charged with Trespassing and Intent to Steal." As for me, the "welcome mat" is always still out and all I need do is ring first and let them know I am considering dropping in for a visit.

Well that answer is as simple as 1 + 1 = 2, RELIGION cannot and NEVER has been able to ACTUALL offer up and Prove itself to be anything more than merely Suppositions, Innuendos, Assumptions, Camp-fire side Fairy and Spooky/Scary Tales, etc, etc, ALL designed to make the gullible listener/s afraid enough of the shadows and want to pay for the services of a Charlatan dressed in special costumery to come along and weave his/her magic spells, etc, etc, and PRETEND to drive the also totally imaginary "nasties" away from those who are gullible enough to pay him/her for his/her fakeries. Plus, and as an adjunct, to RID the world and Human Kind of the POX that is religion FIRST and Foremost we need to actually ENLIGHTEN the Fools and Dolts that are, have bee, and will be sucked in by the mumbo-jumbo garbage that the purveyors of religion use to to entrap them in the first place.

Well since April 1st, occurred here in Australia on the Friday just gone and it REALLY did happen, and, btw, he is still REALLY asking me, of all people, IF there are any tasks/chores, etc, that he can do around my gardens, etc, for ME for FREE rather than his previous quote of $50.00 per hour, paid in ADVANCE as well, and these offers have been coming in all day yesterday, I beginning to think that he has an secondary motive which is probably based on raising spare money so he can now take his annual, Autumn-Winter Excursion to the wilder coasts of South Australia to spend a few weeks at the Surfing spots down that way. I doubt if he has read up on the fact that those "Surfing spots" at this time of year are also the favourite haunts of Great White Sharks as well.

Yes he did and is still complaining from time to time re- having headaches, difficulty when reading, especially his beloved compendium of crap and utter twaddle ( the bible) but refuses to seek further medical help etc .

Garban comments on Apr 1, 2022:

How many times do they expect people to keep forgiving them for sanctioning and covering up these crimes? Idiots will continue to put their children in danger of these predators.🤮

Triphid replies on Apr 1, 2022:

But as they will so often tell those silly enough to heed to them, " To err is to be Human, to Forgive is to be Divine," ergo, when they do such cruel and criminal things, and they do with such continuous and tedious regularity then they will emphasise that " they are BUT human," which is, in fact, their Get out of Jail Free card in the Religious Game of Monopoly that they play with their sheeple followers every second of every minute of every hour of every day.

anglophone comments on Apr 1, 2022:

Unless and until the Pope removes the causes of abuse within the Roman Catholic Church his "apology" is nothing more than a kick in the teeth to not just the Indigenous community in Canada but also to every other community around the world that the RCC has abused, raped and murdered.

Triphid replies on Apr 1, 2022:

Imo, there is NO chance EVER that that will occur either with Wanky Frankie or any other Protector Of Paedophile Employees ( POPE) run the Scam Show, since they ALL see themselves as being the DIRECT and Elected Descendants of Jesus and hence are Holier than Holy. How can claim to be both a DIRECT descendant AND an Elected Descendant in the same breath from a mythological person that has never and can NEVER be PROVEN to have existed completely confounds me.

KKGator comments on Apr 1, 2022:

While the whole religious aspect of these "holidays" rankles me to no end, I really like the vibe at Publix. Customer service is at the forefront, and from what I know, they treat their employees well.

Triphid replies on Apr 1, 2022:

@KKGator Me also when it comes to those Self-Checkouts, imo, they are robbing a person/persons of a n employment opportunity at the very least.

Aw crikey, lighten a bit, poor J.C. went out a virgin according the myth in the Great Book of Bullshit and Twaddle so the couple are only doing the right thing by inviting him to get his end in after 2,000 + years of enforced celibacy....LOL.

Good article.

Yes, a nice depiction of stone implements possibly from the Neo-lithic . Though Australian Aboriginals were still making such things went the first European Explorers arrived on these shore just over 200+ years ago but they had and still NO Religious significance even to this day. They were merely tools and weapons used to make the necessities for survival and weapons for both hunting for food and protection of the person and the members of both family, tribe and clan.

I always make sure to ask people who go on and on about god, “which god are you referring to”. I always get a blank stare in return. 🤣

Triphid replies on Mar 31, 2022:

@skado Ah BUT when a person BEGINS a Discussion/Debate, etc, etc, IT IS, by Rule and Expected that the Originator shall and will remain available and WILL answer/respond to ANY and ALL responses, etc, etc. That is HOW it is done in THE REAL World @skado, NOT in the Hillbilly, backwater world of Alabama. And on Agnostic.com YOU ARE in the WIDE Open and REAL WORLD, not the moonshine dens of Alabama.

Triphid replies on Mar 31, 2022:

@skado @ words here and I know FULL WELL that you WILL not respond because you lack the intestinal fortitude to do so imo, PROVE IT. After all, and an old saying goes, " Just because the hen clucks the loudest does MEAN that it has lain an egg." And you Sir, imo, are the loudest hen in the coop but also the least productive as well.

skado comments on Mar 31, 2022:

My small dissent is that even though 16% of our species today may not be *aware of* the evolutionary function of religion, or that they benefit from it at the expense of those who practice it, or that they themselves practice in unbranded ways, or that there is no scholarly consensus as to what ...

Triphid replies on Mar 31, 2022:

I think, @skado, SHOULD you ACTUALLY do YOUR own research, etc, then you may well, IF imo you can open your mind up far enough that is, find that throughout the centuries and millenia RELIGION has sought to SUPPRESS the advancement of human knowledge, etc, etc, rather than to PROMOTE it. Have you either WILLFULLY managed to FORGET or MERELY decided to SKIP over and ignore that centuries of religious oppression wrought upon Human Kind by the Catholic Church in particular? Or the Persecutions, executions, etc, etc, of those who did NOT follow the Doctrines of the Christian Belief systems, for example, try reading about Hypatia and the Newly Formed and rising Messianic ( read Christian) Cult of Alexandria, Egypt and what she and ALL the other students, etc, were subjected to by those wonderful, peace-loving, brotherly love spouting Christians. Christianity has MURDERED and Slaughtered MILLIONS in the 1,600 + years since the Councils of Nicaea ratified it as an Accepted Religion within the then Roman Empire and there are even RECORDS kept by the Followers, usually the R.C.C. btw, of the EXACT numbers of the victims. But hey, you stick with and to your" understandable belief" because, after all and imo, as the saying goes, " The Bigger the baby, the larger the Pacifier that it needs to soothe it."

@Ryo1 Please take a bit of advice here and DO NOT hold your breath waiting for a REPLY from @skado, chances are extremely high that you will NEVER receive one because, imo, he is yet another of the post and run, get the points and hide type of chicken-shit arse-wipes, i.e. as we say here in Australia, All mouth and No trousers.

@Beowulfsfriend Someone, can't for the life of me remember who atm, once said this. " Religion and Politics are like like 2 Whores on a street corner arguing, fighting, screaming, scratching and clawing away at each other over the exact same "john" and who should screw him first." P.S. And with the added notation affixed afterwards being that the " john" is a reference to the WHOLE population and not just 1 single person.
