that article is hard to follow....but, then, I haven't been on Twitter in years.

Triphid replies on Feb 27, 2019:

Yeah, there are SOOO many 'twits' on twitter. Perhaps, because those 'twits' are actually TWATS they should change it to Twatter instead.

One of the greatest benefits of a religious mindset is to be able to reconcile and overcome unpleasant events and live in awareness and joy. In that regard, the story of Job is inspiring.

Triphid replies on Feb 27, 2019:

As the saying so often goes; " You can take the person out of the Bible Belt, BUT you can NEVER take the Bible Belt out of the person," it seems to me that is probably 100% correct in this instance, would you not agree Sir?

How can religion tolerate and defend rape , while it's intolerant of masturbation , the solution ...

WilliamFleming comments on Feb 27, 2019:

Which religions are the ones that tolerate and defend rape? I missed it.

Triphid replies on Feb 27, 2019:

The Christian Bible, aka the Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy, CLEARLY condones things such as Rapine, Pillage, Genocidal Warfare, Slavery, etc, etc, ad infinitum, or haven't bothered to read that book yet?

Triphid replies on Feb 26, 2019:

Yep, ScumMo and all the Catholic members of the Liberal - National Party will do absolutely anything to divert attention from Paedo Pell's getting found Guilty as Charged because it shine too bright a light on the rotten dealings, etc, committed by their exalted religion. So, of course, Happy Clappy Chappie ( an Ardent Member of the Hillsong Church btw) would be first in line to attack the weakest members of Australian Society, i.e. the Disabled, but with a Federal Election coming close around the corner, his political popularity sinking fast and adding this on top I hazard that he hasn't realized, as yet, that this might just be the final nail in his political coffin. They ORDERED a news blackout on Paedo Pell's hearings and trial so that, in their words, " He may get a decent, unbiased and fair trial but they couldn't manage to stop media outlets such as MSN News from spreading the word of Pell getting the Guilty Verdict though.

Good.

Triphid replies on Feb 25, 2019:

Had a good friend at Secondary School called Doug H ( rest of surname withheld for his anonymity), about 4' 8" in height, red hair, skinny build, quiet voice and up until our first ever P.E. Session we called him the Red Mouse, then, whilst changing into our P.E. gear, we realized we were 100% WRONG. Because, for 12 year old boy he WAS NO mouse so we quickly change his nicknames to ones such as 'Tripod,' 'the Trunk,' 'Donk,' and 'Cricket Stumps,' etc. Doug always wore long trousers no matter how hot it was and cut-off jeans for P.E. until we got a new American, ex-Military P.E. Teacher who adamantly DEMANDED that Donk MUST wear the same sport shorts as everyone else, i.e. the ones with very short leg lengths. Doug tried to explain that it would be impossible for him to wear such things but instead was threatened with Detention for a month UNTIL Doug merely dropped his daks ( trousers) and said quite calmly and quietly, " This is the bloody reason why," exposing a set of testicles that would make a Stud Bull blush and a penis that hung nearly 3 quarters of the way down to his knees. That was the first ever time I saw a grown man turn bright red and actually faint.

It's a small gesture that can have a huge impact. ???

Triphid comments on Feb 24, 2019:

Well I definitely made that happen today, just as I do ever Sunday, because the ladies at the Take-Away Shop where I get my Sunday Lunch each Sunday have to actually PAY for their lunch whilst working, so I usually make extra the night before and deliver it to them the next morning.

@LiterateHiker I think that was why afterwards one of the teachers gave me the friendly nickname of 'Little Mo" because he later explained "It was kind of like watch the USS Missouri firing a couple of broadsides one immediately after the other and watching the target collapse in a cloud of dust."

Look at those eyes.

Triphid replies on Feb 20, 2019:

Her eye/eyes might give that vicious look but she's really a sofftie at heart, trust me I spent hours getting her back from the brink of death, hand-feeding her, keeping her warm, giving her egg (raw) on a teaspoon mixed with minced meat every 2 hours at first then 4 hourly until finally she could feed herself. When I first found her she was laying exhausted and just managing to breathe in my front garden, the local Vet, living a few houses away came and checked her over, she weighed just 2.6kgs and his diagnosis was that she was a late hatching that had taken her first flight and gotten lost and exhausted, her, I thought she was a male at first btw, chances, he said, were very slim if none at all. 3 weeks later she weighed in at a fabulous 7.58kgs, could stand and walk around by herself, feed herself ( plus give me the 'whistle' hint that she was hungry LOL,) and was starting to use her wings by flapping them at every chance she got. 12 and half weeks later she weighed in at a lovely 13.67kgs, was standing proud, as an eagle should, and taking test flapping runs on my big back lawn ( that when the Vet told me that by her size he could see that she was a female and was almost ready for release. 2 weeks later we took Lady E about 50kms out to a creek where her kind often congregate and nest, I said a sad Goodbye to her and let her return to her freedom thinking I'd most likely never she her again, haha. 5 days later while working in the veg gardens I looked up and saw a shape circling my area, heard a very familiar whistle and down she came, landing ever so gently on my bare forearm and making a very calm clucking sound while lowering head for a pat. She's been the same thing fairly regularly ever since until, like I posted earlier, she'd been absent for months and I'd been fearing the worst. I'm so glad and overjoyed to know now that she's alive and well and still remembers the bond we seem to have developed.

That last item on the list got me wondering...

Yeah, they say " So what" as they sit snuggly in their comfortable Office chairs, drinking coffee/cool water, etc, while everyone else is either caught in heat-waves or freezing in snow and ice storms, dying from hunger, thirst or simply try to survive.

There were rare times with my daughter that I'd often wish that her penchant for often strange and odd animals would lessen. From a very young age she was kind of like the Atheist version of a 'Messiah' of the animals but only Australian Native ones and dogs, Our house was forever inundated with 'it followed me home' beasties including at one time a young, abandoned Emu chick, an orphaned Kangaroo Joey, about 16 shingle-back lizards, a Nankeen Kestrel that had been hit and stunned by a car and 2 wild, but in her hands quite tame and quiet, native ducklings to name just a few. When she about 4 years old I took her on a weekend trip to a place called Wentworth on the Murray River, we hired a caravan on site and while I was unpacking she vanished only for me to find her surrounded by over a dozen possums, not tamed ones either, and their young with her hand - feeding them a kilo packet of our favorite brand of cream filled biscuits.

@snytiger6 Yes, I've read heaps of information from non-approved 'church' sources, information, the best kind, usually comes from historical sources written by historians with no association to religions or churches. Also, I kind of went under cover, so to speak, for 3 years in the Mormon Church here where I live purely to do my own research. I suppose I could say that my 'cover' was deep enough and so well planned out that they accepted me whole heartedly and I learned many, many of their inner secrets and workings plus the REAL history of their Founder/s which they keep their followers very much in the dark about. Especially the bit about Joseph Smith being threatened with tarring, feathering and being run out of town on fence rail for his incessant philandering with the wives and daughters of others in the town.

Triphid replies on Feb 15, 2019:

@DoDapper I'd doubt that ANY of those so-called 'holy relics' were actually from who they are purported to be. For example, there have been 23 claims by Catholic Churches in and around Europe saying they have the foreskin of the mythological Jesus in their reliquaries, therefore, either this Jesus had one humungously long foreskin or the Catholic Church has been bullshitting, something that it proven itself to quite expert at over the centuries btw, the Congregations and the World. Plus, the usual 'custom' after a beheading in the older times in Europe was that the head was either exhibited on a pike at the town/city gates until it rotted away and fell to the ground and the body was unceremoniously buried in an unmarked grave.
