Romantic relationship with a strongly religious person?

Triphid comments on Jul 24, 2020:

In my experiences when a date say they are either Religious or even 'Spiritual' I hear very loud 'warning bells' going off in my head and the driving urge to head straight for the nearest exit A.S.A.P. To my mind, IF one desires to spend time buried in Utter Bullshit then all one needs do is find the nearest Dairy Farm there you can get it 100% free of charge.

Triphid comments on Jul 23, 2020:

My most sincerest Condolences to anyone who has lost a Loved One, etc, etc. Recovering from a loss is bloody hard to say the least, it can and does take years and years often even a whole life-time, trust me because I've been there twice with both my children. The truth of the matter is though, You never really 'get over it' you just learn slowly to cope with it and the emotional pain, etc, that it brings. Though the emotional 'pain' seems to lessen over time it never truly disappears BUT the good memories, etc, you have are the greatest 'compensations' you'll ever know.

Triphid comments on Jul 22, 2020:

Hang on a minute here, when I first saw the "@praytothemilkjug" bit my, often odd, Outback Aussie sense of humour went straight to the numerous 'nicknames' we use to describe womens breasts and "Milk Jugs," "Bazoombas," "Fun Parcels," " Front of the Shoulders Boulders," etc, being just a few. So who, in their right mind,would not offer up a prayer or 3 to those truly wonderful things? As to drinking milk, well I prefer mine with a liberal infusion of Bickfords Iced Essence, a large spoonfull of Vanilla Ice Cream in a cold glass or heated in the 'mickey' wave' ( aka Microwave) with de-caffed Coffee for a warm, late night kind of nightcap.

The 'Community' of this site, to my mind, is just like cooking a 3 Course meal, i.e. the more effort you put into it, the better it turns out. Imo, 99.5% of the Members here ARE truly great and wonderful people, sadly though there are a few who are, at times, who can be both as erratic as a cut snake or just plain as grumpy and irascible as a Rattlesnake with a toothache or a Bear with a sore head,but they, thankfully are few and far between.

Triphid comments on Jul 22, 2020:

For those who aren't up on Aussie Outback slang and Greetings, the terms "Bugger," "Old Bugger, " Old Bastard," "Old Git," plus a few others are often a form of friendly greeting just as one can also greet a really good and respected male friend with such as, "G'day Old Fella," "G'day there you Old Fart," or even " How's it hanging there Mate?" The usual response to "How's it hanging," "How's it hanging there Mate" is " Oh a bit slack and to the left/right." Yes we are a strange kind of people out here "Beyond the Black Stump" LOL.

Something that might be a better solution that is within reason. [cuimc.columbia.edu]

Triphid comments on Jul 21, 2020:

Yes it does work to some extent since drying laundry on a clothes line in sunlight does kill off most bacteria and viruses. Having low output UVC lights was tried and tested at the Broken Hill and District Hospital in 1972 - 1974 and was found to be most effective, it was continued in use until some 'bright spark' from a University decided to deem that is was 'Risk to the Public' simply because, as it was later found, that, 1) he had a slight case of a reaction, visually speaking, to staring at 'Black Lights in Discos, etc, and, 2) that, as was later discovered btw, that his family had shares in a very large producer of Antiseptic Solutions, etc, etc. so the Government Health Department Foo-Fooed the whole idea and within a matter of a few weeks the whole local Hospital was battling a massive outbreak of Pseudomonus Pycenias, a very virulent form of bacteria that invades wounds and literally eats away the living flesh. I still use a UVC low-level output bulb ( aka Black Light) in my hallway at home as a first line response to bacteria, etc, as well as shunning Clothes Dryers in favour of drying my laundry the natural way using the UV light from the sun to sterilise my clothing, etc. I'd recommend Black Light to anyone in times like these as well as drying your laundry in the sunlight since Dryers do NOT remove/destroy bacteria, etc, etc.

I reckon quite firmly that they should be placed on the 'Job-Keeper' payment rather than the massive and totally unwarranted salaries they WILL be getting for sitting on their shiny, fat arses at home and doing Sweet Fuck All.

My other 'sit on a crate to use' device is a tool for digging narrow, not too deep trenches, made by cutting and old square-mouthed shovel along the sides, trimming the handle down to a suitable length and adding a handle cover made from a bicycle tube. My Dad always taught that, " If there is something you need and you can't afford to buy it, hire it or even borrow it, look around what at you have available, sit down, think it through and then make it yourself.

13-year-old Pennsylvania boy charged as adult in shooting death of younger brother [msn.

FFS, that looks very much like a 9mm if that's the gun used. Here in Australia we have laws that state firmly, " ALL firearms MUST be kept LOCKED in a Child-Proof, Steel Safe, the Firearm/s MUST be have the firing mechanism/s removed and they and ANY ammunition MUST be stored completely separate from each other at ALL times and in steel safes were children, etc, cannot reach them with ease. The parents, in my honest opinion, should be charged with willful Negligence, accessories to Murder by Negligence and Lack of Forethought and Security. I have a 7.69mm German Mauser rifle here, locked away in a 3/4" thick Steel safe with a locking system that requires 2 separate combinations to open it, the ammunition is locked away separately elsewhere as is the Bolt, both in separate locations in the house. What, in the name of All Fuck, is wrong with Americans and their endless desire to have, keep and carry guns?

Remember When Fascism Was a Catholic Problem?

Triphid comments on Jul 13, 2020:

Pope Pius XII, I'm pretty sure of it btw, and the College of Cardinals 'created' an Escape Route for Nazi War Criminals via the Vatican as early as 1942-43. The 'cost' to these Nazi Fascists was assumed to be no less than 15% of the sum Total of the worth of the wealth stolen from the Jews, etc, etc, of Europe by those Nazis and held in their own personal possession. The 'Rat-Line' as it later became known by the Allies ran directly to the Vatican and then, by various routes to Catholic Dominated countries in South America, Argentina being one particular destination for these War Criminals. It was via this 'Rat-Line' that the likes of Mengele and Eichmann escaped the Nuremburgh Trails. If one researches enough one WILL find that there is a kind of 'Prime Directive,' ( sincerest apologies to Star Trek and G. Roddenberry) instilled into almost every religion/cult, etc, etc,, especially the 2 main 'mongrel' off-shoots of the Judaeo/Abrahamic belief systems, that states firmly to the Preachers of those Initiates to teach their Faithfool followers " Do NOT what we Do, Do exactly what we tell you to do." How much more a Fascist-Totalitarian as system can you get? For example, The Pope plus his Circle of Cardinals hold sway over millions of Catholics in almost EVERY aspect of their lives, etc. Even though they would have us believe, the Queen of England is little more than the Titular Head of the Church of England, the fact is that the Arch-Bishop Elect of Canterbury holds the reins just as does the Catholic Pope and his Circle of Cardinals, does anyone see a somewhat GLARING similarity here to what the Hierarchy of the Fascist-Totalitarian Nazi Party of the late 1920's - 1945 eras? Totalitarianism IS rife throughout the 2 main mongrel off-shoots of the Judaeo-Abrahamic Belief Systems in my educated opinion and anyone can see it should they honestly and sincere wish to search for it deeply enough.

What do neo-Nordic beliefs have to do with racism?

Triphid comments on Jul 5, 2020:

Imo, things can have a 'racist' connotation for those who choose to see them that way. E.g. the 'crooked cross', aka the Swastika originated in Hinduism not as a symbol of Angst,Warfare, etc, etc, but as a symbol of peace and prosperity, the Nazis plagiarized it, twisted it and made into the hated symbol it is today. The Hammer of Thor depicted in the Nordic Mythologies is NOT decorated with the 'crooked cross' but with stylised dragons and the like, Himmler, if memory serves correct, 'took' the idea of using the Hammer of Thor for its 'assumed' Aryan roots and meanings, had the Swastika engraved on to the images to make the badge of what he called " Das Hammeren dem Jude" of his elite S.S. Group, the EinsatzKommando, his own personal Guards and later the worst of the worst perpetrators of War Crimes against the Jews, Poles, etc, etc.

Well being an ex-railway worker I can tell you that it takes approx. 18 hours, including stops to change engine crews, etc, for the Indian- Pacific Passenger Train to travel from Central Station, Sydney to Broken Hill, a distance of 1,100kms, and 2 days, 13 hours for the same train to travel from Broken Hill to Perth, Western Australia at an average speed of 90 kilometres per hour. By Semi-trailer Truck at an average speed of 100 kilometres per hour it takes between 3 and 3.5 days to travel from Adelaide to Perth and by ordinary car between 3.5 - 4 days at the same average speed to do the same distance.

Is it really any wonder why these God-botherers NEVER seem to win the Lotteries, I mean they can't even predict when the world will end so how are they going to 'predict' the winning numbers. I predict that somewhere around 5-6 billion years from now that the Sun will have used up all of its hydrogen, start collapsing inwards and begin burning up the helium then will expand outwards to engulf Mercury, Venus and, possibly, the Earth as well. But I sincerely doubt that any of us will be around to see it happen.

New findings offer explanation as to why Mayans abandoned their cities: [sciencealert.com]

Triphid comments on Jul 4, 2020:

The contaminated water sources idea makes a whole lot of sense since still or stagnated water aids theses algal blooms immensely and it seems that the Mayans relied mostly on rainfall to keep these 'reservoirs' topped up, so to speak. Without a constant in-flow of fresh water from feed streams, rivers and such the waters would soon become contaminated, have massive algal blooms and the run-off from the city, etc, would have contained numerous toxic elements such a mercury, etc, dissolved in the run-offs, collecting, remaining and increasing exponentially over time. A somewhat poignant example is what occurred in the Darling River, N.S.W. Australia just recently where a Blue Green Algal Bloom in the very still and stagnant waters ( caused by a complete lack of fresh water flows for well 2 years) there caused the deaths of millions of fish species, I saw, first-hand, what it was like, the water was very much like a foul, stinking version of Green Pea Soup for as far as the eye could see both up-stream and down-stream.

Sadly, the 'sheeple' will be 'sheeple' no matter what happens. Since they will only see what they want to see and blame such things as Covid as being ' the work of the Devil' and God as their saviour and protector. After all is said and done, " You CAN lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink," so it goes with the sheeple in that, "You can lead a sheeple to reason BUT you cannot make it think."

You've got be joking, I'm a qualified, semi-retired Psychologist and I've handled many a very difficult 'client' but understanding tRump in the 3 parts only would, imo, be like trying to climb a mountain using ONLY your teeth to grip the ropes, etc. In my honest opinion, that guy IS the greatest nightmare any Psychologist/Psychiatrist could ever imagine.

Authentic religion is not about belief.

Triphid comments on Jul 1, 2020:

Having a sense of Morality, Ethics, etc, etc, towards other human beings IS the 'counter-balance' to our innate animalistic instincts. Religions merely saw the profitable aspects of 'claiming' such things as their own ideologies, etc, to further enhance their own ends and means. IF, and that is one Huge, Cosmic sized IF btw, religion/s, Authentic or not, were this so-called 'counterbalance' to our 'animal instincts' then WHY is Paedophilia and Child-Molestation so rife and rampant throughout almost every Religious Institution in the world?

Well that's bad imo, but nowhere near as bad as the 'news' I received last evening from a good friend who works as Ranger at nearby National Park though. It seems that during their usually rounds of the Park yesterday they had cause to literally chase out no less than 20, yes that IS TWENTY, cars and caravans ALL bearing Victorian Registrations who were camping in the Park. A week ago, last Saturday there were 22 Victorian registered vehicles counted in the parking area of a Local Shopping Complex also. And another good and trusted friend informed me on Saturday just gone that they have counted well over 100 Victorian registered vehicles, complete with caravans and the like, using the 'back-track' that leads past their property on the N.S.W. side of the Murray River and on into N.S.W. This well known 'back-track' seems to be an 'escape route' by which traveling Victorians can avoid going through Wentworth, N.S.W. and avoiding detection at the state border Stop Points.

Take the superstitions/fears, etc, of people, add in a mix of " Mindful Imaginative Creativity," a very generous touch of being devious, having little or no qualms about how to gain power and control over others, a liberal amount of Self-righteousness, Egotism, teach yourself to be a Great Orator and, Voila, you have made yourself both a Religious leader of People, the Oracle of the God/s you can and have created and found yourself a following that will hang upon your very words, ergo, YOU have made a religion. And, imo, IF we could travel back into times long, long passed that is pretty much how we would probably find religious beliefs came into being.

Did Jesus Exist? | American Atheists

Triphid comments on Jun 27, 2020:

Well, as an Atheist Theologian, yes that IS right AN Atheist who has studied for and gained a ThD, I can safely say that the Jesus as depicted in the bible ( The Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy) IS a 100% completely fiction based work of Religious Propaganda created solely from innumerable other sources and ages older myths and legends plagiarized, twisted and contorted by the Scribes who were ordered at the Council of Nicaea, circa 325 C.E. to suit the ends and means of the Founders of the Christian Movement. The truth of the entire matter is that the WHOLE bible is nothing more a work of plagiarism from the first chapter of Genesis to the last word of Revelations.

Triphid comments on Jun 27, 2020:

You may well be depressed, after all it creeps up on you like a Thief in the night, so to speak, and for no apparent reason also. When mine was diagnosed back in 2001, as a Psychologist I put it down to the recent loss of my daughter, Lorrae, until I consulted another Psychologist and we began discussing the things that had happened in my earlier life. It was then that the hammer truly hit, so to speak, and I realized ( as did the other Psychologist as well) that the 'load' I had carried from past Abuses, etc, had been shoved into the darker recesses of my mind while I pushed ahead to build a life for my daughter and myself. Thus, with that 'drive' gone after losing Lorrae those 'loads' gained a free reign once again and then came the depression, etc. with them, the same depressive thoughts, etc, that I had striven to ignore for so long. At least now, with treatment from a maintenance dose of Antidepressants, I no longer have 'dark thoughts, nightmares and the like and can actually enjoy the things that make my days worthwhile. So m8, PLEASE get yourself checked, it is NOT impossible to be depressed without really knowing it or even why it is occurring.

As an adjunct to the above, I decided to do 'the neighbourly thing' yesterday and took Evangelidiot a container of my freshly home-made Ham and vegetable soup. To my shock he refused it on the grounds that, 1) "It was made by an Atheist and God/Jesus would be insulted should he accept it and eat it," plus, 2) " Atheists are well known to hate Christians and will do ANYTHING to rid the world of those who believe in God/Jesus, even going as far as poisoning them." Jeez Louise, I'd already had a couple of bowls of the same soup for lunch that very day and I do NOT keep poisons in my house either, but at least I can say that I tried, can't I?

Jeez Louise, I was brought up to act like a gentleman with and around ladies, what is a bloke supposed to do these days of 'Sexual Harassment' when even a friendly, innocent smile can mean a bloke stands a chance of being accused of Sexual Harassment?

Are we ALL going to have to have colourless lawns in our yards, the Tennis Courts, Parks, Police and Emergency vehicles no longer recognisable by their coloration, bloody hell, the list would be almost endless, wouldn't it? How about when there are Power Failures, are they Racist because EVERYTHING is BLACKED Out?

Triphid comments on Jun 25, 2020:

Well, considering that in Australia, except the closely packed Urban City areas that is, unlike the U.S. our populations are somewhat widely spread out, i.e. not so much 'High Rise Apartment complexes', etc, plus the distances between towns and cities, the widths of footpaths, etc, the constant re-circulation of the atmospheric air around the streets AND that we jumped on the 'Social Distancing, etc,' idea as quickly as we did thus lessening great the person to person transmission of Covid then I can understand why wearing of masks is optional here. But it seems to me also, that Victoria 'jumped the gun' a bit too quickly and now it is under a second wave of Covid because of that and the interminable cry of " What about the Ecomony" of course. So I ask, What good is a healthy ecomony going to be IF there are NO people left capable of supporting it? Think NOT of today/tomorrow or the next day in this pandemic Crisis, THINK instead of the times in the Future to come, i.e. weeks/months or even years from now. We CAN work together to re-build or re-make a far, far better National Ecomony but we CANNOT re-build a population as quickly as we can the Ecomony.
