The desire to control reality begins in infancy. When our cry brings food and comfort, we begin to inform our conscioua mind of an illusory 'power.' We need to believe in our own power. However false this belief may be, within it lies our very assurance that we are not adrift on a sea of helpless fear.
As we get older and more aware, we find faith. Although we may debate how 'real' our faith is, ( and the nature of reality itself is quite unknown) many of us acquire a sense of comfort through the ritual provided by worship. Mass, feast days, confession etc. provide ritual and continuity.
Wicca, however, seems a bit chaotic. With no central core doctrine, it seems likely to appeal to those younger folk who, finding close to 2 thousand years of dogma and history, the foundation and development of Western philosophy about as impressive as a fast-food lunch they then long for something 'real.' They then gird their loins with clothing purchased at Hot Topic and proceed to read this worthy author. You know, I was impressed (favorably) by a rather serious young man who expounded for hours upon the works of Eliphas Levi, Manly P. Hall, Paracelsus, John Dee, The Kyballion, The Key of Solomon and other volumes both obscure and famous. He could read Latin, Greek and a bit of Hebrew. He was a serious student of the Occult. But most Wiccans, alas, seem to dwell on tomes like "Mix your own love philters" And "Spell$ To make your dreams come true" written by worthies with names like 'Wolfhair Ravenbush' and 'Elfsprite Tinkleberry' etc.
I consider Wicca the acne of spiritual growth. At best its something to giggle over with your former spell-casting buddies, remembering your 14th Summer with cringey amusement. But at worst you are knocking on the door of Captain Howdy and some even more dangerous cohorts. A doctor is trained for many years, a priest as well. One does not play with scalpels, bonesaws, syringes. They are dangerous. Any doctor who encourages amateurs to 'investigate' the mysteries of the human body with the tools of his trade would be called a dangerous madman. Draw from this a parallel, those who are wise.

My heartfelt condolences. My dear man died of cancer 11 months ago. I never knew that grief could hurt so bad
But I knew that for my family, my community, even my pets, I had to live. Fate brought me to the heart of a chubby little Irish widower, bald and smiling. His dear wife fought leukemia bravely. Our affection is new, growing each day in the fertile soil of two hearts learning to mend the other
The dear lost ones are never lost. His darling wife planted flowers of joy and love in his heart as my Jim planted the songs and poems and oak strength of his native Appalatia in mine. They have become part of the sweetness, the pure and honest intimacy and the compassion we give unstintingly to one another. No longer young, we laugh with innocent mirth as we see the funny things our bodies have become, remembering the strength and beauty and passion we gave, and recieved, with such gratitude from those we held so dear. I wish this wonderful man the healing and the strength and the knowledge that love is never, never lost. It goes on my friend.

@KateLopez-wr1cy Maybe you had better ask a homeless veteran, or someone who had a home and now lives on the street, or the migrants themselves sleeping on the streets as the temperature drops, before you shove this off a 'not a problem worthy of consideration." The cities cannot feed, home, educate provide medical attention, for their own people, people born HERE, who paid taxes out of their pay HERE, people who fought in this country 's military, ask them how they feel about this. The mayor of NY wants people to open their houses to migrants? When he does, maybe other people will. Are you ready to house your kids with total strangers? Those 'far right' people are giving literally tons of food thru churches, private businesses donating clothes and charities. But you want to tax people and call it charity so that it can be funneled into the pockets of politicians. I do not think so.

@Kevin-cy2dr Neither, apparently, do you. A person knows, or does not know, the English language. Mr. Trump is an excellent communicator with his support base, who are mostly blue collar workers. Truck drivers, farmers, mechanics, retailers, small businessmen, miners, oil rig workers. People who support law and order, are patriotic and believe in a deity. The democrat party, however, has been so radicalized that they have lost the ability to connect with this powerful segment of the American people. Trump would not have a landslide victory next week if the Democrat party had the ability to resonate with the voting majority but it is a simple question of selling sonething the American people dont want to buy. Third wave feminism, open borders, autonomous police free zones and 57 trillion dollar green plans, higher taxes..the American people arent in the market for that. Trump knows how to sell what is in high demand-lower taxes, smaller government, strict adherence to the original interpretation of the constitution. And he has delivered on his campagn platform. Do you think after Venezuela you can sell Marxist ideology here?

@60toodles Everybody gets that. But this woman calls her son "compassionate, caring, " etc
when the truth is that he is a murdering, sick BASTARD. The only acceptable thing she could have said was 'I thank the jury for sparing my son's life
There is no excuse between heaven and earth for the horrible things he did. I beg the relatives of this poor woman, so frail and advanced in age, to try to find some forgiveness in their hearts for my son, NOT because he deserves it, I know he dosent, but to lift the burden of this terrible crime from your hearts. I will pray for my son's soul and for forgiveness for whatever I did, or did not do, to form my son's character into the man he should have been. I will also pray that God, in his mercy. comfort you in this darkest hour of our lives.I thank the court for the opportunity, etc."

@renaudtheis1197 How you camr to these conclusins is problematic. Jesus of Nazareth has a drfiniitive tomb as far as his followers are concerned.The building known as the Edicule in Jerusalem has been standing since at least the 3rd century. The present Rotunda of the Anastasis was completed in the year 2000 and it is under the care of the Roman Catholic, Egyptian Coptic and Armenian Orthodox churches. We know what we know of its authenticity as a place of pilgrimmage since the reign of Constantine who built a now-destroyed basilica to enclose the edicule. I am not at home but as soon as I get thereI will.post an excellently researched volume that you may acquire it at your local library. But why you don't know this is puzzlong since this os probably the most well studied buildi g in Western history
As to why his followers faced martyrdom and rxile, human capacity for self delusion is an abyss that has no known sounding depth. Why woulfd Islamic extremists fly a plane into a building? Why would women (and men) sink millions of dollars. endure broken jaws and risk blindness ina quest to ne 'beautiful?' Why would women violate their own infants in aquest for the 'love' of a rock star? ( look up Ian Watkins if you have the stomach). The unlovef, the poor, the homely, th friendless, the un-special 'lumpen' who are not rich or pretty or clever- have a chance to be 'special. rewardef, and most importantly LOVED by a Magic Sky Daddy who will dry every tear. Isn't that wonderful? The fat. potato-nosed.fried chicken gobbling mid western hausfrau can be saved for the asking while skeptic Vaudelune, who on her pld age cares for two old men (cancer and liver failure) free, houses an old homeless woman no one wants, carres for a diabled sisyer and endures 30 years in an unloving marriage to a porn addict, sharpens a still keen mind and goes to hell
Don't tell me to pray
Tried it. 26 years
Nope. No one is listening

@crimsoncourt9354 What is wrong with you? You aren't a Christian. You want the covering mantle of Christianity to spread fear and hatred. Pharisee, we ALL sin. Every righteousness we think we have is as filthy rags before the Lord. And before you take the speck from your brother's eye, take the board from your own.
Every hatred you show for your neighbor-the gay man, the transwoman, the Muslim, the undocumented immigrant, the BLM activist-yes, these are your neighbor-will be recorded in the book of judgement
Pharisee, the word you use to kill others will kill you. Do you not know that REVELATION 20:12 You will stand before the Lord and be judged according to your DEEDS. Matt 7:2 Whatever measure you have judged shall be used to judge you.
I am not a transwoman. Or a gay man. I was not born so. But I treat EVERY HUMAN BEING WITH RESPECT AS. I WOULD BE TREATED. And in this there is no sin
But you? God WILL judge the living and the dead. When you stand before HIM you will give account of EVERY hateful thought-for as you judge so will you be judged. I have my soul covered and cleansed by the Sacraments of Confession, Communion and Last Rites (All biblical) But you have your conscience. Well from what you write its not headed the right direction if it causes you to disrespect and hate. And every Pharisee at the Crucifixion was there because he 'loved God" and 'hated heresy.' Remember that, and tremble.

@ Jessica stanfield So, you would rather have a president who accepted millions of dollars from the Ukraine, and his son, billions? Trump IndustrIes generates income for hundreds of thousands of people; between hotels, and the ancillary industries that support them, he is ENTITLED to a slew of deductions. I doubt that a whole CAREER, long before the presidency, could have gone along as horribly as you imply without the IRS taking a piece of his behind long, long before now. But cheer up, maybe AOC will run...the one who cost HER OWN NEIGHBORHOOD nearly 100 thousand jobs because of 'possible tax issues.' Or Liz Puke-a-Hontas, Member of the 'executive branch,' with 90% income tax. Good choice. Go jump. MAGA 2020 BABY.

@tammymillar3906 Not only that, but the guy was totally stupid. No way could you make a mess like that and not have forensics find evidence. What he could have done is close up the parents room and leaked carbon monoxide into there, killing thrm quiwtly in their sleep. Carries them out to a moving truck after moving IN a new sofa ( mom and dad being in the sofa box, ostensibly 'the old sofa for the thrift shop.' Swap truck for a car and camping gear, go to a national forest, dig a hole 8-9 feet deep INSIDE the tent so as not to attract attention. Buried that far down, its unlikely critters will dig them up. This would take a LOT of fast work and steel nerves, but it helps to have a friendly, gushy g.f. all exited about 'seeing this beauty for the first time ever!'. Dead bodies fo rank pretty fast, be so this has to take place VERY quickly. The rest is gravy. If the house is paid off, you simply forge 'power of attorney' documents and sell. But do NOT rush, especially if Mumsy and dear old Dad were somewhat isolated and had few to no friends. Whats the rush? In fact, as long as bills get paid and the house is kept up, 10 years is a good time to wait; ' mom and dad live at the retirement home' is perfectly plausable. Now THAT is a lovely, neat successful double murder. This guy? Sloppy amateur. A disgrace, really.

@johnfairweather9188 You don't think for yourself. You regurgitate leftist propaganda with the absolute unimaginative rote recitation of a well-trained parrot.
You've been studying religion have you? How could you have missed that every great author, from Augustin to Hans Kung, gives no greater rating nor gravitas to the conscience, and its ability to discern and stand BY the truth in the face of all opposition? You are nothing but a common vocal puppet, painting with the broadest brush imaginable and quite laughably ignoring how the haters of religion, from the Directoire of the French Revolution down to Stalin and Mao, have quite excelled your pastors and other clerics in mischief. You shall have to go a long way to convince me that atheistic society has faired better. But please, don't fancy yourself an original or independent thinker. You can quote yourself word for word on any thread, invading every convo with your imitative, plagiarized and repetitive rant. Religion is of many kinds but there is only one kind of athiest on YT, the dull but loud troll. Ugh.

@allforourlord You really, really need to have your dosage adjusted. Maybe some group therapy. Honestly, if I thought G. was the monster you make Him out to be then I despair. He is mercy. Love. He loves His children and the beautiful art, the stained glass, the majesty of the gorgeous cathedrals of Mont Saint Michel, Cologne, Notre Dame de Paris, the Hagia Sophia, Svet Saba, The Vatican, ALL give testimony to God's Children giving their best- engineering, designing, architecture, craftsmanship, metal working, painting, mosaics....They SING to God with voices of stone and glass and gold. You haven't apparently the education, wisdom, culture, sensitivity, to appreciate this. How sad for you.

'Let's close down the coal mines,' f. The entire states of Kentucky, wv and Pennsylvania, we don't care about them. 'LETS have open borders' sure, we don't need laws like Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras have. We should be the ONLY country in North South and Central America without a border. Sounds smart to me. FREE college, FREE healthcare, it's free, so NO BODY pays the doctors, buys the medicine.....vote for Bloomberg and Socialism, because its worked so WELL in Venezuela!

To the vandals: They are at rest. You cannot hurt them anymore. You can only hurt the society that gives you, without stinting, the freedom to express your creed and beliefs, no matter how hateful or obscene we may find them. Anti-semitism is disgusting, not illegal. Racism is reprehensible, not prosecutable. However revolting we as a society find a creed, it is yours to hold. Acting upon this creed, however, will NOT be tolerated. Hate the Jew. But defile his place of rest, and retribution will follow. Defame and vilify the Muslim; but steal from him and you will pay tenfold. Disparage the black man and his kin, touch one hair of his head for hatred's sake and you will drink the bitter wine of. vengeance. Tolerance is not permission, forbearance is not consent, restraint is not weakness. Remember this as you growl and snap and claw and pull upon the strong chains wheron society has. tethered you for your own good, and for ours.

@LASLAY13
And what does your faith have to commend it? We trod on the trails built by Thomas Aquinas, Roger Bacon ( the monk that gave you the scientific method) Gregory Mendel, the father of genetics, father Pierre Teilard de Chardin etc. Look around you. Universities. Hospitals. The. Cathedrals that are the splendor of the Western World. And to be sure, the mosques and the. temples that go from Tibet to Samarkand . In our heads? Oh no. All around you. Faith permeates every culture of every age and leaves the tangible exquisite beauty of Notre Dame, Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the Potala in Tibet...tell me about the lovely cultural gems left behind by atheism? I'm not sure pink dragonism has anything historically or culturally to commend it. Atheists are crude, disrespectful, dismissible eternal emotional adolescents without grace, charm or any real reason to cultivate their friendship unless you love four-hour drunken gripe-a-thons. You are bores. Theologians have spirited (.no pun intended) discussions the echoe the very beginningss of Christian university life where the three disciplines were logic, rhetoric and mathematics. We have Peter Abelard, Aquinas and Carl Jung. You have Sam Smith and wokism. We have lasted the ages . You are the philosophical equivalent of acne ; something that usually disappears after maturity and civilized social intercourse replace self centered mental masturbation.

@LASLAY13 Can you read English? I am a ROMAN CATHOLIC. The Bible is NOT inerrant. The book of Genesis flood story is simply an adaptation of the Epic of Gilgamesh, where a righteous man named Nu saves his family from the wrath of the God Enlil. No righteous God would do such a thing, but you are referencing the folk tales of a primitive nomadic people. Empathy, tolerance, mercy and humane behavior are not possible in an environment where your neighbors and nature are trying their best to kill you. But they survived and became a literate, cultured and artistically gifted people.
The RCC does not oppose the teaching of evolution. The Holy Father is doing his best to reconcile the church with our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters. And the church is troubled. Out of a population of 414, 567 priests 235:have been convicted of molestations and that is too high a number. And the RCC has doubled in size since 1970, to about 1.229 billion in 2014.
So to answer your question, of course not.Although the RCC has the same Jewish roots as Protestantism, Coptic church and Orthodox we are not fundamentalists. The Bible as well as the Magisterium ( writing of the church doctors, philosophers and mystics) guides us as an organic, living and growing entity. Do you see how your ignorant assumptions pigeonhole people into your world iview. Your search for confirmation bias paints every theist as ..what was it? "Easily led... indoctrinated...etc." No religion is as fanatical and dogmatic as atheism.

@LASLAY13 You take the biscuit for being intellectually lazy. Didn't give a toss for a try. Well, there you go. Since we have no common language to discuss a god-certainly what I mean is twenty five stories above your bargain basement excuse for a definition, there is no reason for me assume that reality itself has no origin. Since you cannot define existence, reality or explain why a universe automatically assembled itself into pre-existing parameters, I postulate that a God - the Architect and Originator of Reality - may indeed BE. I have no proof, But reality, matter, energy...'nihil nihilo fit' ( T. Aquinas ) nothing comes from nothing. And even in the "vacuum" of space a myriad generated wavelengths travel, particles and dust and travel since the 'Big Bang' ( named by father Pierre Teilard de Chardin.you're welcome) .
You really are the most disappointing kind of lazy atheist, with borrowed, stulted, dilapidated truisms and no real effort to engage in dialogue. Lazy, lazy lazy. You couldn't be anything but a pouting child who asked God for a pony and didn't get one. God isn't in the business of granting wishes. Think of something you DIDNT learn in a school bathroom? I'll wait.

@nolwino We all have a personal religious life. However, if you read the Gospel ( or the Quaran or Gita or Tanakh and Hadeeth, etc) we are commanded by our Deity to extend ourselves into charity and love. I mean, its all well and good to give yourself an excuse to isolate and ignore, but that isnt the mark of spiritual maturity. Catholic saints- Francis of Assisi, st. Clare, St. Vincent de Paul, the blessed Frederick Ozanam, to name only a few-gave their lives not only to the promulgation of faith but to the service of the sick, the orphaned, the destitute. The amount of charitable effort of the RCC is astounding, and that is from Quora, a news service that dosent particularly like us.
As an adult, I came to absolutely shocking conclusion that my ego, my self concept, my sense of self and my wants and needs were not the center of the universe. Like most humans, Im selfish, dishonest, self decieving and not really a great addition to humanity. But getting outside of my self, caring for those who truly need it ( right now a gentleman I met long ago, a man who thru 3 successive heart attacks lost everything) I find the redemptive medicine prescribed by dr. Eshoa Bar Yusuf of Nazareth. Its expensive. He has no SS, no pension, no savings. But his SS kicks in March, his health is improving, and to see him safe and happy is my reward on Earth. After he is on track, God will put someone else in my path. It is the visible and tangeable expression of a faith that saves not only them, but me.

@imalionimaqueen7234 When an exorcism is requested by a priest- there are probably 3 to 4 YEARS of data-medical, pharmaceutical, physiological, psychiartric, sociogical, familial, criminal, psycho-metric,etc. before the RCC gives permission for an exorcism and comes from the highest offices of the Vatican. There have been about 6 since 1910, the exact number and who they were is a closely guarded secret although it is a rare, rare thing. Now, if you want some ignorant luluhead playing at it, then you are setting yourself up for a great deal of misery.

@arcajeth626 Faith with no rational basis is indeed only superstition. But over 2000 years of magisterium-the works of those whose writings founded Western thought and civilization, founded the 1st universities in Padua, in Rome, inParis , in England. at Cambridge and Oxford, are not the doings of irrationality and superstition. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and you are STILL eating what was cooked by Roger Bacon (the scientific method) Thomas Acquinas ( formal logic) hundreds of years before the discovery of the New World. Nihil nihilo fit-and in a world where humankind has BARELY scratched the surface of what actually comprises the nature of reality, I would not limit my tools to mere empiricism. Your little tool kit falls apart on the sub-atomic level. Atheism has always been popular for the 'rebel without a clue' types all the way back to Byron and Shelley, but that it all it is, an affectation for a limitation. And Jung knew this better than anyone. If you walk out of your cozy bedroom tonite into a hallway where you see a masked man in black carrying a Bowie knife, you will, against all rational affectation. pray. Maybe not to god, but your every living synapse will take part in a silent rosary of hope that Mr. Bigknife didnt see you. And your next series of litanies will take place after the mad dash to the bedroom where you will continue your entreaties in hopes that the police will get there before your door comes crashing in. This dosent 'prove God,' but it is pretty convincing evidence that your 'rational interpretatation' paradigm goes out the same hole as the stuff filling your drawers when you are in survival mode. And survival mode dosent NEED rationality to interpret the universe. This isnt an argument against empirical or rational thought, justva reminder that it isnt the whole tool kit.

@six7595 lol, Honey, i used to "know thay. I' m ugly" too. Until o got out on my own and tealized a few of life's truths that you dont learn in schol
So listwn to Auntie V
1) The kond of conventional beauty you see on models makes them all look alike. This is not a coincidence. They are cookie cutter cpoies of each other necause they are there to sell clothes
Designers want to showcase their creations, not the girls wearing them
2) Boys like girls who are basically vapid mental midgets who know how to put on make up and wear expensive clothes. MEN, hpwever, do npt. And can not. accomplish anything im life at the side of am idiot. You are going to know how to have to know how to speak act, comfort and strengthen a man. An idiot cannot do this. So worry about ypur mind before ypu worry about perfect hair and flawless skin. Your accomplishments must be brilliant. After all, a power couple must have twice the power. 3) Sweetheart, YOU teach the world how tp treat you. Nasty, cruel bitches can smell low self esteem the way sharks can smell molecular quantities of blood in the water 10 miles away
Study French women
If they have large ears, a big nose, a strong chin, they dpnt cry about it. They capitalize pn it!They make it their symbol, their banner
3) Get sassy
Get savvy. Make friends with a drag queen
Trust me, they have a couple of obstacles on the way of being a beautiful woman but by God they dp ot wrll. Learn frpm themto find your 'fierce' , to find the part of you that arefuses to sit dpwn and be quiet
Find your fierce
It took me a while, and I went from geek to freak and tried to make up for lost time! But honey, at 56 I had a a 24 year old boy friend..and im not done having fun! Girl, find your fierce. Be happy. Be you!ps i am sorry about typos i have very bad artritis.

@douglasrasmussen480 And you are entitled to your opinion. Previous generations of children raised in church by loving parents have acquired a moral compass, compassion, noble character, a devotion to family, society which eventually fosters becoming a faithful mate, a loving parent and a man whose filial piety preserves and nurtures his parents in their old age. You have opinions. I stand upon a social structure literally THOUSANDS of years in the making upon which the entirety of Western Civilization stands. The institutions founded by the Christian faith- universities hospitals, homes for the aged and inform, the libraries, are ALL based upon the concept of benevolence and charity made manifest in the person of Christ. The most iconic, the most beautiful and sublime works of music, sculpture and painting, the works of Michaelangelo, Raphael, Cellini, Pergolesi, Allegro,, without the Church as mentor and buyer would never be. You stand on the last 80 years of human history, an prodigious time for science and technology indeed, and claim what? That this has made us more human? Given us peace? Brought happiness? The best you can claim is that we now enjoy our misery and loneliness in hygienic comfort. As to YT being a less than perfect forum I agree, but certainly not defective to the point that you do not deign to use it for that purpose. I am in fact a shy and retiring woman and public debate is better left to the bold, YT must suffice.

@douglasrasmussen480 This process of inculcation, as you call it, is responsible for the transmission of values centred on the person of the Christ and has been the central factor sustaining Western Civilization. You must not have my years or you would have known two prior generation of doctors, teachers, community leaders of every type whose faith, both public and private, sustained and anchored the greatest generation our country has produced. You haven't the benefit of having known people of faith who have raised men and women of vision, whose dedication to the wellbeing of family and community have their roots in faith. And I don't just reference my own church, I happen to be RC but churches as well as synagogues and temples across the nation established a society conducive to public and private well being.
Going back even further, nearly every benevolent institution- EVERY great European houses of learning, hospitals, orphanages,, shelters established for the aged and infirm. Only am enemy of peace and prosperity would deny the societal need for religious expression. Actor Russel Brandt, a recent convert to Catholicism put it neatly, " we are a species that worships."
Only the past 80 years, a pathetic tic of the clock for the human race, scarcely a movement of the second hand, have tried to deny this. And this has been a time of prodigious technological progress. Has this progress made us happier? Less lonely? More inclined to relieve the burden of the weary? If anything we can now enjoy our misery and loneliness hygienically. The therapist has taken the place of the confessor, the internet the place of community, and we buy buybuy, unable to fill our stomachs with enough food, when a little bread eaten in the company of a friend give satiety and joy. Promiscuity and gratuitous display takes the place of love, when in other days the spouses of many years loved tenderly, cherishing the unstained bed and the aging body as proof of faithful love. This 'inculcation' as you call it paved the ground for civilized humanity, back as far as history will take you, the voice of man's inner self called out beyond his own existence and lifts him above simple nature BECAUSE we are 'the species that worships.' .

@douglasrasmussen480 I will try once more to answer you. I have no idea why my replies are deleted.
You must not have my years or you would remember entire communities anchored deeply in the Abrahamic faiths. Children of former generations were guided, taught and educated based on principles exemplified by the Christ. This system brought forth men who fell at Verdun and Normandy and women in whose hands and hearts lay the responsibility for teaching the values and skills necessary to preserve civilization. The domestic arts are those taken for granted by so many, but these are the difference between a barracks or squat and a comfortable home. Having been raised by people who did not know or care, I envied my friends the sweet comfortable peace of their homes. Doctors, attorneys, accountants, teachers, caroenters, people from every walk of life were 'indoctrinated' into the faith of their fathers. The result was peace, stability, neighbors who would befriend and help in any need, close-knit communities, school where children learned skills that would assist them in the acquisition of gainful employment, elders treated with pious respect due to their gray heads, mother's and fathers faithful and devoted to each other and their families. No 'baby mamas' and "baby daddies," but ever-present, attentive, dedicated role models. Was it so in every home? Not in mine certainly , but this was the standard accepted by the educated and skilled labor. It would seem that this dreadful indoctrination had a stabilizing effect on their lives.
Technology and it's wonders are late comers. Yes, we can only wonder at the progress made in medicine, in communication. But has it made us happier? Safer? In fact, this present generation is the first that is not expected to live as long as their parents. Abuse of Food, drink, substances, sheer boredom and lack of any true examples of peaceful and productive cohabitation . There is no sense of dedication or devotion, and the ideal seems to be a 25k wedding that lasts a year. The best we have, it seems, is the ability to enjoy our misery and loneliness in hygienic comfort. What does you faithless world model offer in lieu of the civilization we once had?

@lordenvincar What I think is of no account. Legally, a housr is a "commodity," which is 'goods real or chattel made available by purchase, inheritance, barter or other legal transaction." I dont. have to argue abput subjective definitions, I use the legal definitions put in place. by the. Local board of reators and their legal teams long ago. And fake abs are, like houses, strictly a commodity. I mean, be proud of them if you havent the ability to do better just like you can put a sign outside of. Wretched hovel that says ' Buckingham palace.' Its still a joke, just like fake abs No other purpose but to look good?? The abdominal core supports the base of the spine, the internal organs and stabilizes the pelvic girdle! You didn't take anatomy in school did you? (*fake abs cant do that).

Good Lord. I heard the whole thing and just...SMH. Lady, my Mom was no prize but she knew who my friends were
She knew what I ate for breakfast, my favorite color, my ambitions fears and how many times a day I went to the bathroom. She began knowing me as a baby, child, young woman, young mother. She never spent a day on this Earth when she didn't interact and cultivate a relationship with her child. Did we fight? Sometimes like bobcats, hissing and spitting and yowling. But never, never a day when she said ' I don't know who you are.' My son is 42, lives at home, and wants it that way. Always a gentle loner, he is discerning religious vocation and he wants to be a Franciscan friar. My daughter is a nurse. And their adolescence was scary, goofy, heartbreaking, hilarious and I was physically, emotionally and responsibly present.
And this women's message is that ' you just don't know who your kids are.' I beg to differ. I took the time, made the effort, did the work, got yelled at stared at and put down by other parents for being 'too involved" not respecting their privacy, etc.
What does this woman want? Exoneration? Nobody is blaming her.Forgiveness? Not ours to give, sorry. I can't even think anyone could be callous enough to profit from this tragedy so it isn't that. But obscurity would be a whole lot better than the limelight for Mrs Klebold.

No, he wanted to STOP the financial rape of this poor woman, a victim of this man's unbelievably selfish activities. He has no right to spend what is, in America at least, 1/2 of his wife's money on CATFISH SCAMS. In America, 1/2 of what a man owns belongs to his wife, she now owns 1/2 of nothing. She needs a lawyer, to force the sail of the house and to somehow try to recover from this catastrophe. He will eventually put himself out on the street, sleeping rough with his madness. The roommate at least tried to save him from his own stupidity and insanity, but he could not, and then he tried to save the wife.

@barbarakiewe2870 Ma'am ( patiently) obviously a random post from a complete stranger means the world to you ( correct standard English spelling) . I pointed out, and I make the distinction because it is an important one, legally and morally, that NO ONE ON THIS THREAD S BLAMING THE VICTIM. Please read these posts carefully? What many ARE doing is insisting that the child in question is NOT a victim because, according to these horrible people, 'he enjoyed it's or 'it made him a man.' Do you see where this is an important thing to establish? It is to me because these dreadful, stupid people DENY and NEGATE the rights of MALE SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIMS. They are not denying it happens nor are they blaming the child ( even a moron will not do that). They are denying that a morally degenerate act took place.
Now IF some brain donor posted something that held the child IN ANY WAY ACCOUNTABLE for this tragedy, they did so AFTER my initial post.
I have NEVER, WOULD NEVER blame a child SA victim. When I posted There is NO shared responsibility ' that excludes the child from any wrongdoing as is right and just.
Honestly, with all my heart, I just can't dumb it down for you any more.

@abubakrakram6208 Most adults could figure it out for themselves. You have a legal right to go before a judge and be married. You have a legal right to sleep with a consenting woman and make a baby. At the purely legal level you have the sanction of the government. At a more human, thought provoking, spiritual and cultural level, you have more that a paper issued by the government, you have a blessed union . You can reproduce all you like. Opening your legs and breeding is not the same as conceiving a child in a loving home and being a mother and a father, not a 'baby momma' and ' baby daddy.' Water seeks its own level, and if you ooze out of a sewer or spring from the glorious fountains at Versailles you are still H2O. The explanation is something that will do you no good. If you have to ask why a person wants to be more than a woman with a government sanction paper or a bride A bride is wlling and courageous, seeing the opportunity to carry her gifts of love into a union blessed by God Obviously you hold such a concept at little account, When all you need is a government paper, why bother with the solemn and beautiful ideas that raise us up? Just like pure bred cattle you can prove that your offspring belong on an official register. Good for you, you aren't asking for much.

@louhortonsculpture And you make a hell of a lot of claims. And people who want to stay in their echo chamber, like you, just eat that sh. up. What perentage of whites owned slaves? A slave in good health of breeding age was the equivalent of 60,000 USD. You couldn't go down to Slavemart.
Musta been some message on that time capsule, so damn inflamatory tou didn't even temember
socialequality.duke/.edu claims that between 1-20% of the white population by STATE owned slaves. 1% owned most, up to 200 slaves. But that also includes BLACK slave owners, sorry, not a myth.
And you STILL havent explained how that impacts the families and orphans and children of the men who laid down their lives for their state. You are going to havecto use the BIG crayons for me Daddy-O, to explain why they have NO RIGHT TO HONOR THEIR DEAD DADDIES, BROTHERS AND SONS. You damn right the South remained embittered and angry at the North. The first thing the North did was destroy any pretense the South had at rebuilding their communities, cities and economy by raising taxes and tariffs so high that it foreced even the poor off their ancestral land. Should they have been happy about it??

@alexwilliams5799 One side fought because they were CONSCRIPTED. They were not invited. Just like the Vietnam conflict, the movers and the finaciers behind the scenes had a definite interesti n maintaining a profitable 'status quo.' If you had ASKED. A simple Confederate soldier,he would have told he didn't give a damn about no n. "The North is bound and determined to undermine our right to do as we please on our own. Soil." Of course we feel different today. Many of us have read the Bible but that is hardly the ONLY book we have read. If you had been born on 1820,in the rural South, that is likely the only book your family possessed. You believed FERVENTLY in a loving God. You woyld have to to keep your sanity.You would have seen tiny brothers and sisters, Mama, Granny and Pawpaw die in agony. If slavery was in the Bible,why would you have questioned it?
You seem to have empathy and sympathy for the enslaved African Americans, and how not? Only a monster would deny their suffering. But those poor free men who, in good faith and embracing the only creed they knew died, ignorant and exploited by the rich, should not be denied their place in history.
I have no ax to grind. My Mama's people came from Germany in the 1870s and my Daddy from Puerto Rico in the 1940s. The US treatment of Puerto Rico is best discussed in the book 'WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS' (Nelson A. Denis). The young Americans who in 1898 captured our Island had no idea that they weren't "liberating" us. That is the nature of HUMAN culture. Puerto Rico was liberated by the US who liberated us from the Spanish who liberated us from the 'heathen' indians as they were 'liberated' from the moor by the Spanish king and queen, who before were liberated by the Romans who liberated the Iberians. How far back do you want to go?

@daminox "Noconnection tothe war itself?" You and 'dr.' Josh on this threadmust be the same person. To join this organization YOU HAD TO BE THE WIDOW, DAUGHTER OR GRANDDAUGHTER OF A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.Look it up for G. sake. And in the 1920s a man who fought at Chicamaugha or Little Round Top would have been in his 70s. And many, many boys in their early teens were rounded up and pressed into conscription. You don't read. You don't research. You are 'educated' by a group of liberal political hacks who DO understand Marxian dialectic. For the Marxist, factual historical information is irrelevant. The 'truth' is whatever furthers the aims of the Communist party. The 'truth' is whatever furthers your agenda. The economic ruin of the South, the fact that the South was still 90% agricultural and the Great Depression kinda put monument building on the back burner. But as these old soldiers began to die out, their children, widows, grandchildren, began to memorialize them, to acknowledge their courage and duty to a state they pledged, before God, to serve. In the 19th century a pledge before God bound a man to the destiny of his soul. You have no concept of the depth of such a pledge.

This is a much more important conversation than anyone can imagine. The trans agenda is a brilliant strategy concocted by white, elite power players to remain in power. Asia, the middle East, Central and South America are the breadbaskets, dumps and sources of cheap labor for first world capitalism, mostly the USA. The elite whites have to keep the brown people poor, so they have (perfectly) emulated the Victorian Protestant missionary tactic. None of the brown nations or Eastern Europe will EVER ACCEPT THE TRANS AGENDA. Muslims, devout Orthodox and Roman Catholic South America as well as Christian Africa consider men and women the soul of the nuclear family and marriage the basis of society. White American elites can now tell them 'Trans rights are human rights. Since you all now stand in violation of human rights, we denounce you and will deal with you as we see fit.'.Black Americans by and large ABHOR the trans agenda. Traditional masculinity and mother figures are the backbone of black American society. Asian Americans, same. So that leaves a small cadre of WHITE WEALTHY ELITES to tell us what we can and cannot say, feel think and do. It's brilliant because Christian white evangelicals are ALSO excluded A small group of AMERICAN doctors who, without long-term research have come up with the WPATH protocol as their authority. Strange, because the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, and just about every other country on planet Earth is flagging puberty blockers as dangerous . Manipulating language, medical practice, and media, a small nucleus of power players can cancel you, make you lose your job or practice, declare your country in violation of human rights. So this is relevant and then some.

People do not know history.
Prior to the 1st world war, Theodore Hertzl and his followers purchased, legally, most of what we know as the the territory of Israel. It was purchased from Arabs who LEGALLY owned this land. These notarized contracts are kept in the Knesset. At the time, Palestine belonged to the OTTOMAN Empire
The Turks. Who stole it fair and square from the Byzantine Empire, who stole it fair and sqare from the Romans who stole it from the Nabataeans. Who stole it from Alexander. My point is, that Hertzl and his followers PURCHASED these tracts of land.
After WW1, the Ottoman Empire ( who were allies of Germany) had no money to pay the reparations demainded by Versailles, gave Palestine to the English. The English promptly made any land purchases by non residents illegal. But the purchases by Hertzl and his followes had to be respected as they were legal purchases.
After WW2, the descendants of English, German and Eastern European Jews demanded the right to occupy the territory they legally owned. England did all it could to stop them but in 1947 the state of Israel was voted into the UN. England voted against, USA voted for.
After Israel was declared a nation, its first President, David ben Gurion PLEADED WITH ALL MOSLEMS TO STAY. ( you can download this speech on YT). Why didnt they? The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem DECLARED A FATWA ON ANY MUSLIM WHO STAYED TO LIVE IN PEACE AMONG THE ISRAELI PEOPLE. Who was the Grand Mufti? The Moslem leader who spent the entire WW2 in Berlin as a guest of the Third Reich.
Israel legally owns the land it sits upon. This is not opinion, it is historical fact. And Israel will not leave. It has the backing of the USA and the Gaza Strip will become the Great Chasm of Gaza or the Great Hole of Gaza before they surrender this land. That is not opinion either.

Bill Patrick Jones he was, indeed. The greediest, most hedonistic dream of any woman. A face so lovely that no angel could lay claim or comparison, eyes of blue no saphire could compare. Tattoos I coulld do without, but no matter. I would have chosen koi, deer, the Celtic God Cerninnos, mute God of the savage forests of Brittania, the dark and hidden glades of druidic Cymbria To lick, kiss, and worship along the drawings traced on flesh, to feel the shudders after each delicious tongue-full of salty, exited invitation to sweet arousing kiss.... I would have put the soul of a chaste and good man in such a body, the soul of an Earth loving farmer, the soul of a nurse, the heart of a man who lived to be what a man can be. And this creature...had no soul. Only appetite, like an insect, a cockroach.

@johnfairweather9188 Yes, if that is what you think religion is. Priests study for four years, pastors with DD degree for six. Real pastors and priests study pastoral counseling, psychology, sociology, history theology, soterology and hamartiology. Its the difference between going to a doctor who heal (?) you with magic crystals or one who has been to medical school. Its fashionable and ignorant people think they sound clever when they parrot what their friends say. Why don't you you do a bit of research before you post? Nobody is forcing you to believe anything. No living pastor or priest has seen God. No living physicist has seen a string, a brane or dark matter either. Our Holy books werent meant to be science texts. They were the the truths of ancient peoples, not the facts we know today. Some truths are transcendental- love your neighbor even if he dosent love you. Forgive those who wrong you. Help the poor and those who cannot help themselves. True, you dont need a book to tell you that, but if you do have a rule book you have a game others recognize.

@elizabethmonsell1847 And that is what is called an ILLEGAL EVICTION. Y ou cannot, as much as you would like to, physically remove ANYONE from your home whom you have invited there. Perhaps in your country this is legal, but here the man would be charged with assault, battery, illegal eviction and possibly with intentional infliction of mental distress. Before hiring ANY domestic help you MUST have a contract, notarized and sealed legally that clearly delineates responsibilities, pay, days off and benefits provided by the employer. To house and feed someone without clearly limiting their job is exploitation. To hire someone WITHOUT an extensive background check is just plain stupid. This will be a very expensive lesson to learn, and one some common sense could have avoided. And yes, in our country, private agreements go before the government . In my state, Texas, for example, if an unwed man and woman live together for at least 3 years this is his legal wife by common law and she has rightful claim to his estate. If a relative agrees to raise a child the parent or parents must still provide support for the child. If a man leaves his goods in your home for longer than 90 days it is called ABANDONMENT and you have all rights to his properties and goods left behind. You really don't know much about the law, do you?

If you are Anglican or Episcopalians, "not my circus, not my monkeys." If you are Roman Catholic, No. On top of no, with no sauce. 1) The Bible forbids it. 2) The Church forbids it. Yes, I understand that Christ died for ALL humanity, men and women. But unlike the peoples Republic of Looney Tunes, we inhibitants of the Sovereign State of Reality realize that outer physical characteristics are the LEAST differentiating between the sexes. Men and women have different brains. We process information differently. Our hormones affect our brains differently. Do women love God less? Of course not. But 'in persona Christi' ' means a man. This is what God commanded. We dont make up the rules as we go along, we obey, albeit imperfectly. 3) Women are born with a vocation. We create life, shelter that life in our own bodies, nearly lose our lives giving birth and then worry our butts off for at least 18 years. And I know some women cannot bear children as some men cannot have viable sperm. THAT means nothing. Some aunts and grandmas have been more mother than some mothers. We as human beings nurture our young. But making a home a place of love is something only a mother can do. We have lost, with modernism, 60%of the culture our mothers and grandmother's had. My mother and father came from horrible families and made our childhood a nightmare. But visiting the families of other people I realized that things like china, tableware, recipes, lovely linens, stories and culture were passed down. As a soldier I spent a Christmas with a kind family and wondered at the pride and love the husband, grandfather and uncle showed the lovely women who cooked and baked and decorated the lovely home. I was shown knitted, crochet and embroidery pieces that had been in this family on both sides. And I realized I had been been very, very neglected. My father hated women, my mothers family was poor and lazy. I had a quick mind and have had many jobs, but have never known the joy of being cherished because I brought something other than money to the table. At 66my home is clean but Spartan, my cooking adequate. But the lovliness of a home and a people who truly value what women give to a culture was not for me. Nor my children, sadly. Having to be the man, I missed out on being the woman, and that is sad. Ate we the better for this now? Are children happier, more secure, safer, now than 3 generations ago? I know for damn sure they arent smarter. Where is Mother? Grandma? Forgotten.

@thomasridley8675 So you would have us believe. But history has given us a rather convenient sorting process. Baiti the clown god and any deity overseeing a cheese-making process have been given over to history. Are you saying that because humankind once gathered from the wilderness we now eat only nuts and grasses and tubers? No. We eat the bounty of the sown field and the creativity and clever manipulation of modern agriculture. Millions are fed from few acres, millions of souls are nourished by the few books of the Abrahamic faiths.
You would have me believe that the message of the Gospel has not reached the four corners of the Earth? You remind me of the Jesuits who, reaching the desired borders of Southern India where shocked to find the Nazirinis, the 'Thomas Christians,' there and boasting of the 1000 y.o church they claim begun by the apostle Thomas himself. Their Bible does not contain the book of Revelation as it had not yet been written.
At about 200 CE, ALL of the known parts of Africa- those parts known to Greece and Rome- were not only Christian but producing thinkers whose names still crown theology Augustine of Hippo, etc. Yep, all black. The Coptic Church of Ethiopia predates the Roman Catholic church by about 200 years although the rites are basically the same.
If you want to argue theology with me why step UP and take your chance! I am not informed,as you are, by popular culture, I own a vast private library of the best and most historically venerated works on the subject. But I would be remiss if I did not warn you that you are a puppy barking at a bear. But as you will. Bears need supper too.

@coen8677 Just out of curiousity, why do you think that the Holy Father says who goes to heaven? A saint is just like you and me.. Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 3:13 that Jesus will return to us WITH ALL HIS SAINTS. In Rev. 6 9-11 the martyrs IN HEAVEN cry out to Jesus in a loud voice. Is it not written that to be absent from the body is to be present with God? 2 Cor. 5 :8. There is abundant biblical evidence to confirm that thise who die for Him rejoice with Him!
But the Magisterium of the Church- the collected wisdom of 2022 years, has more than the Bible. The visions of our mystics- people like Teresa of Avila, St. Francis of Assisi...so many more, tell us more. To be considered a saint, you have to have 3 confirmed miracles. But not all do. Some just lived such wonderful lives that we know Jesus loved them in life and in death. What death?? In Jesus ther e is no such thing!
As to Mary Martin Luther himself wrote in 1532 : "God formed the body and soul of the Virgin Mary to be without sin, that she may be the mother of Our Lord. The Lord didnt pick Mary's name out of a hat, my friend. She was chosen before Time was. Her and her alone. As the mother of a son I can tell you that two hearts, Mother and Son, burn inseparably with the same flame.Bur dont worry. None one Earth can love her as much as Jesus does. And what He loves, I love too!
Do you not know that death from disease was an everyday thing in first century Jerusalem? EVERY household had 'brothers' and 'sisters' that were children left by parents to be cares for by others. In one verse it says "If you behave unseemly to your virgin.."every household if better circumstances had 3 or 4 parentless young ladies who depended on them fully for shelter and care. The household of Mary and Joseph would have been no different. Mary was given to the Universe as the bride of the Holy Spirit. Chaste Saint Joseph was given to care for her and the Son of God.
I am not asking you to believe as I do. Only to consider that long ago monks and nuns went among the lepers and plague houses for love of Jesus. They built the great universities of Oxford. Padua. Paris. The great cathedrals that still stand. All for love. Today the church is a troubled place full of troubled people who stand strong upon that love. At mass today, old people. Young people, so many young faces!- families and seniors, ALL united in the love of God! We are your brotherscand sisters. The Presbyterian, the Methodist, the Coptic, the Orthodox...wherever 2 or more are praying is He not there? Pax Tecum🕊

@ Bruh Soooooo you did not write these lines "There's no doubt that pride for one's self (especially among LGBT individuals) stem from this very idea. Atheists and pagans are also very much in line with it" Was this not written by you? You are damn well a Muslim, the respect for individualism was put forth most notably by a Christian, Martin Luther. What we believe, what our ambitions as people are, everything in the realm of West, our sense of accountability and our recognition of achievements that result in innovation to our technology and culture, come from the individual. I am an atheist, a free woman, I own property, I go where I like when I like, make my own decisions, and my husband of 25 years loves me for these qualities. NOTHING was ever accomplished by a woman sitting in a house, waiting for her nearest male relative to decide if she can go out that day or not. You are driving your ducks to a poor market (= what you are selling on this thread, no one will ever buy).

@Tragedy 01 I have no belief. And no athiest says 'god does not exist.' What we do affirm is that we have insufficient evidence to make such a claim, evidence that can be corroborated. No athiest seeks the TRUTH. WE SEEK THE FACTS..First of all, to deny the existence of something you must be able to define the concept of both 'god' and 'existence.' What is a god? What is existence? Think carefully before you answer. Integers have existence. The axioms of geometry have existence. Watermelon seeds have existence. If I say that I exist, i could mean many things. But I can also consistently describe myself in a way that everyone would understand my characteristics. 2) An athiest would be more than happy to meet your god
The problem is the same for us when we meet Billy, a rather willful child. Me: "Billy, you say you have a friend that I cannot see." Billy : " Jeffrey the Magic Unicorn is my best friend." Me: " I cannot see him." " Well he only shows himself to people he likes." Me: " Why dosen't he like me?" Billy: "Because you don't believe in him!" Me: "That makes no sense. Whether I believe in him or not, he should be able to confirm his existence somehow. If your unicorn has superpowers and is really smart, then he should be able to make himself known." "But all you need is faith" says B
"Now Billy, " i say "you know that faith can be had about about many things. That does not make them true. If I take an antibiotic I can have faith that i will get bettet. Because it is probably true. But if your unicorn is real, then he can what I do and i have no superpowers. Your uniform is capable of relaying consistent and verifiable information that is both specific and testable right?" If he wants to. But he dosent like you!" 3) Everyone on earth is entitled to their own opinion. No one is entitled to their own facts. Theoretical and quantum physics are in their infancy. We know little about the ultimate nature of matter and non-matter. But this dosen't get you to a god. The Bible was originally written in Hebrew and the NT in Greek.Which version you use may depend on the manuscript of origin. Aside from that claims of prophecy are subject to nterpretation. So far as I can see, most prophecy only surfaces as retrospective piecing together of events, never before the fact. So unless your imaginary friend is bettet than Billy's i would find it hard to change my mind.

@lemickey4204 So what was it? Your god couldn't get a builder's permit for a better corral to warehouse the recalcitrant for eternity? So if that isn't the case, then obviously he/she/it/they approve hell as a place for both Mahatma Ghandi and Vlad the Impaler, for the most civilized and gentle ahiest and for Jack the Ripper, they are all worthy of the same punishment as far as your god is concerned. Your god needs a war crimes trial. "Hey, I am the god of love! I don't send ANYBODY to hell!" "You designed hell and built it, did you not? " Well yes but only for Satan and his angels!" " But if you are all powerful, you could have built another, more humane non-Paradise could you not?" "Well, yes...." In fact, god, since the entire PURPOSE of punishment is to change behavior, then hell is pointless because it will only provide punishment without the opportunity to change behavior." God couldn't find an answer for these questions.

@felipesimoes1699 I most certainly answered your question about the increase in numbers. And as far as VN being a 'just war' IT, LIKE THE WAR IN IRAQ, WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A WAR AT ALL IF HAD NOT CAUSED IT. .
You dont even read your own writing. Germans were detained and questioned. As YOU YOURSELF WROTE 'but very few' actually remained imprisoned. Those who were HAD PROVEN TIES TO THE BUND.' That was a crime. Japanese citizens were detained solely -SOLELY-based on their race. This is history. You cannot spin it or change it. At the same time the war was going on. Guatemalans were being DELIBERATELY infected with syphillis by thebAmerican govt. But what the hell, they arent white.I know what Americans did in my country, Puerto Rico. In one of the most impecabbly researched books ever printed, ' War Against All Puerto Ricans' will explain how, before Congress, it was explained that we were 'Largely innimicable to assimilation, being mostly of Negro stock.'Good thing they didnt explain that to the 65th Infantry who served with distinction in Korea. My dad was one of them. But just like you he was 'white washed' to the point that he was ashamed of the darker skinned people of his family'.
When you read the Pentagon Papers you come back and talk big. As for now, our destabilizing of Iran, Iraq, Guatemala, Chile-we did these things DELIBERATELY. AND just like VN the chickens are coming home to roost. I can live with whatever opinion you have of me much better than if I had to live with myself as an imperialist, racist, white washed apologist for the gross atrocities commited every time the USA "liberates" countries like Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan

@felipesimoes1699 Incredible. The only thing that I can wish you is that YOU, or an innocent loved one, is stuck in a city where they cannot exit, and coming to 'liberate' that city is a person with your philosophy. Sitting pn a chair in a comfortable room in London, WADC, Liege or Berlin, men in expensive suits made decisions about the lives of mothers, fathers, schoolchildren, the elderly, the blind, nuns, priests, grocers and teachers and dustbin cleaners. They were 'civilans,' a word that means 'human beings' or 'people. They did nothing to deserve to be wounded or die. People like Napoleon and Hitlet DELIBERATELY put them between themselves and the countries they wanted to conquet and we HAD NO CHOICE but to kill them if we ourselves wanted to remain free. But VN was not that kind of a war. Left to their own devices VN would become what it is now; a rather pleasant country that welcomes us as tourists. A nation of people where you can prosper by your efforts, you just cannot leave an estate to your children. I dont agree with that but the Vietnamese have a thriving nightlife and like us, people who have made it and people who barely make. But my sister visits Saigon every year ( she is a British citizen) and calls this a nation of lovely and gracious people. And we are not that.

@felipesimoes1699 They rose because Kennedy, as he soon found out. Was not running the military. Kennedy, if you read the Pentagon Papers, was furious when he realized that HIS order to provide air cover for the Bay of Pigs insurgency was countermanded. He said that he would 'make it his business to find out' who had done so. Shortly after making this statement he was assasinated. But i posted this. And I also posted that it is much easier to run a shadow government when the president is a senile old man, not a spry young man in his 40s.
What a coincidence. My first language is Spanish. One of us applied ourselves at learning the language, I see. I see no reason be pleasant to an imperialistic racist white-washed military boot licker. I speak for your victims, not your masters. There is honor in defending one's nation, in fact, one has no choice. There is ZERO honor in invading a smaller, weaker country to make $$for the military-industrial complex. I feel pity and anger for the inner city blacks, Mexicans and Appalatian white boys who fought a war they believed in to put money in the pockets of the rich. Only honor to them. To you, apologist for Haliburton and Bell and the makers of the Meal, ready to eat, nothing but the garbage you deserve.

@Jeremy Giesbrecht. Which is not true at all. Feminism is no more nor less than according women the same rights as men. This is fair, equitable and just. What the radical left calls feminism is another word they have hijacked, along with 'justice,' 'bigotry,' 'racism,' and other words to which they have attached their own significance. I vote. I wore my country's uniform for ten proud years during the Gulf wars, eight active and two reserve. I have been a janitor in a bowling alley, a day laborer, a baker, a nurse's aide, a fast food worker, a night janitor in a large store, and I have worked as hard as any man. I have also raised two wonderful children who have made me very proud. Men, by and large, have neither stood by me nor appreciated me, my sisters and I have all known hardship and suffering and want and care, and men who duck out when the going is rough. You have NO right to talk to me about fortitude, strength, hard work, and you DAMN sure have no right to tell me what 'society' has suffered on my behalf.

How are you a winner, when you just took down your only viable candidate for the presidency? And they did it THEMSELVES. Bernie? Warren? Oh, sure, if you want a 90% income tax rate. Buttegieg? Try again. Bloomberg? Oh, wait till we get 'truth-vs-TV Ad Campaign' , Those ads making him look like Jesus Christ are going to make him November's laughing Stock, a P.R. catastrophe starring Sean Hannity Absolutely the ONLY candidate besides Biden that could have made The Prez sweat was Tulsi. A reasonable, middle-of-left field veteran, squeaky-clean, even pretty and personable. BUT when old Pumpkin Legs realized 'she could be the first woman President of the USA,' she started throwing poisoned apples at poor Snow White. Out of pure, spiteful jealousy.

Sir, I don't need preaching. I can read the Textus Receptus and the Tanakh, in the original languages, I know what your Bible says. Word for word. Most athiests ARE athiests because they HAVE read the Bible. We are not athiests because we "want to sin," in fact, we are like Pauls 'virtuous pagans' who live peacefully and virtuosly by the old customs of the Republic, not the Empire. But we cannot understand why you worship a god who orders genocide (1 Sam.) Doles out infinite punishment for finite sins (Rev) and 'repents himself' of creating a world and murders everyone and every animal in it, save a family that turns out to be no better than the ones he drowns. We know for a dead certain fact that we evolved, because this evidencevis in our genetic material. Our DNA carries a record of where we have been as a species. This is not in doubt. It is factual. The same empirical science that discovered the DNA link between humans and our nearest kin is the SAME empirical system thatvis providing reaserch for the COVID 19 vaccine-you accept genetic science and empirical thought when it pleases you, don't you? Your god is certainly not interested in curing this disease. Nor can you defend your beliefs historically. Your gospels are not contemporaneous with the life of Jesus-although the writings of the Apostolic fathers can be dated to the 2nd century. And I have little doubt that Jesus was a historical figure-itinerant rabbis were frequent and ubiquitous. Paul most certainly was a great writer and a brave fellow, no doubt. I admire his writing. But I cannot believe what cannot be empirically proven. I realize that integers are abstract and have existence, however, it is an easy thing to explain how primitive man carried rocks to symbolize how many enemies he killed that day (decapitated heads are heavy and get smelly. Just an example). The path from material to abstraction is clear here; to a god, not so much. I am unwilling to believe because I want there to be a god; who WOULDN'T want the suffering of good people to be vindicated? Who would't want to live forever with their departed loved ones? My dear husband is dying of cancer, i would love to believe i will see him again. But you have nothing to give me but 'believe.' And that is only wishful thinking.

@damianedwards2327 Serious consequences? So you are here to sell me Holy Fire Insurance. My lad, compelling someone to behave a certain way by use of fear or intimidation is called TERRORISM. And telling me that god wants to give me lots of free goodies in (what appears to me) Celestial Pyongyang iss just the old carrot-and-stick approach. I would think a god had better ways to convince me. The ONLY WAY to get an empiricist to believe in anything is by empirical evidence. And I have seen none
I know your bible better than you do. I read the koine' Textus Receptus for the NT and the Tanakh for the OT. I parse Greek verbs for fun
I even have photocopies (not cheap) of nearly every Bible codex used since the time of Tischendorf for translation. Even Coptic and OCS copies of pergamon and parchment, palimpsest and scroll. I am not compelled nor convinced. And 'faith' requires 'belief" which excludes 'proof.' I wish I did have proof. I know that when i look in my son's eyes for the last time i will never see him again. A good old freind from Russia gave me a lovely icon 17 years ago ( i came ino his house and cared and cooked for him when no one else would) I still have it, i dont despisecsuch a loving gift!. Athiests by and large are humane and caring people who despise the kind of bullying your god does. How could you possibly condemn someone for eternity to misery when they were only 'bad' ( or skeptical) for a lifetime? Or the SDA you get destroyd in a lake of fire? Big deal. Not the best way to go but being ablebto jump in holding hands with Stephen Hawking, Alan Turing, Oscar Wilde and Percy Shelley? So worth it. You cannot refute what I have said, its merely a comment. Everything you sayand everything you do, every emotion and yes, your body releases hormones in your stomach (leptin) that inform your sympathetic nerve system that you need to get out of bed. Your mind, memories, even the fantasy you call faith-is nothing but an electric grid. On the positive side, they say that Elon Musk has actually 'copied' a pig that appears as a holographic image that displays the same characteristics and the same learned behaviors the pig had in life. Virtual immortality. Fiction? Maybe. But that sounds like that pig beat death.

@-YoohooAndFriends- Well, I am pretty sure there was a historical Jesus. Messiahs were popping up like mushrooms all over Judea. Look up Theodas, Judas the Gallilean, etc. No good reason why thete couldnt be a Jesus. But why the radical departure from the absolute legalism of Jewish teaching? Think about it: Jerusalem was the last stop of the Silk Road before Rome. That Buddhism, its all-encompassing acceptance, universal embrace of non-materialism and poverty and non-violent forgiveness, made it as far as Afghanistan we know for sure (the Taliban blew up the buddhist cave temple as partvof their religion of peace. Yep. Unesco World heritage sight. Ka-boom). But ideas aren't that easy to blow up. Jesus message, at least as recorded in the NT, has too much in common with the teachings of Siddartha Gautama to be coincidental. Universality, communality, ascetic poverty as desirable, forgiveness, non-violence...all NT values, all Buddhist values. Along with the fact that SG was an itinerant teacher who traveled with his disciples. I am not an anti-thiest, I'm just anti bullsh
And anti terroristic threats made by their bully o a god. In Budhism hell is a place of suffering for the purpose of reformation. The purpose of punishment. is to CHANGE BEHAVIOR. Why punish someone forever?

@matthewmoore7447 ( dead giveaways) 1) No background noise. People marching with flags don't march in isolated, quiet area where no one can see them. There they are, just on a lonely street corner being interviewed by the only man with a microphone in a ten mile radius. Because, you know, the news TOTALLY sends a reporter out to film 6 people. Looks legit to me. 🤡 2) closeups are perfect, with nobody interrupting anyone, speaking clearly and on cue. You know, how protesters do in real life 🤡 3) Professional use of camera angles, panning straight to the face WITH THE WOMAN LOOKING AT AND SPEAKING TO THE CAMERA, not the Mike You know, like there is SO not a director there? . 🤡. I rate this 3 clowns.

@rileyen4608 Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Albert Fish, ...think of the worst criminals. We have justice in this world that does NOT unvolve death by fire. or any kind of torment. Why? Because even as HUMAN BEINGS we understand that there is a reason why people commit heinous acts. People are raised by cruel and ignorant parents, sometimes they take drugs to soothe the pain of their horroble emotional wounds, sometimes their minds are sick. If WE as humans know that torment, cruelty and misery do NOT improve the human condition, how does your god have a barbaric code of justice? If your god IS god, then tell him no amount of his 'justice' has made the world better. Both the Catholic and Protestant kings of Europe -as well as the Puritans of New England WHO HAD NO OTHER LAW BUT THE BIBLE-burned at the stake, tortured, jailed, hung and crushed people under stones. A life ruled by 'The Word of God' brought torture. Misery. Ignorance. No fecking thanks. I know that you are probably too lazy and too brainwashed to look up either the Inquisition or life in England under Oliver Cromwell, or the 'justice' of Puritan America. If this is what your god approves he can stuff it up the old dirty back road and so can YOU.

@LogicalMuzikmixer This is just a bunch of nonsense cooked up over the last 7 years. The definition of MAN and WOMAN have been the same in every language and every society from New Guinea tribes to NYC up till SIX OR SEVEN YEARS AGO. And why?? Because there is consensus of agenda from medical professionals? Where? This a white, elitist, attempt at establishing a dominant class . Now that money, warfare, colonialism and technological superiority are in bad odor as tools of conquest, the worship and establishment of a class system that endorses a rejection of the very foundation of human civilization as we know it. Disrupting the most basic anchor of social identity, those NOT in power will face the reasons why the new eliite must think for them 'guide ' them and protect them from their own primitive ideas. The black American community, the Muslim community WORLDWIDE, all of Asia, all of India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Eastern Europe SOUTH and Central America, and EVERY COUNTRy where agriculture and manual labor are both prominent and poorly remunerate CONDEMN AND EXCORIATE this manipulation of language, society and sex politics. Science? what science? It didn't surprise me when I learned that ' scientists' in Nazi Germany confirmed that Eastern European Jews were 'mentally degenerate ' and physically inferior ' to Arian Germans. It didn't surprise me to find out that Chinese and Russian found that dissident voices in Communist societies were ' mentally maladjusted ' and placed in institutions. A woman is a biological femal. You don't get to give a kweer an extra hole between his legs and call him a woman. You don't get to manipulate language and destroy a reality acknowledged by Western Civilization since it's inception. The last seven minutes cannot destroy the weight of history and prehistory. Do you think that, long before writing, that you had to explain to the sculptor of the Venus of Willendorf what a woman is? You haven't yet felt the pushback of the combined strength of very different people united under one banner. The main players aren't even assembled on the field yet. Wait for it.

@julianbigelow2794 You would have to be very, very stupid, or to think that others are, to bring Constitutional law into this conversation. The First Amendment guarantees that you can pretty much call yourself anything you want to and every HS educated Joe Bagadonuts knows this. If this was some kind of pseudo sophisticated move, like actually pointing out that the sky is blue and you can name your puppy Blue if you want to and not even Daddy can stop you, well, keep trying.
The point I make, and will make again, is that you are calling an Iranian a resident a citizen of the land of Oz. You might as well be as Persia does not exist and hasn't for a long time. A man who gives birth DOES NOT EXIST. A woman BREAST FEEDS HER CHILD. Breasts that function to convert blood into milk belong exclusively to women Both men and women have chests. Men do not breast feed babies.
You can save the poison pablum about gender and sex. This is accepted by a cadre of white, wealthy radicals whose money and visibility has focused media attention . They have been able to bully a segment of the medical profession into acquiescing the same way that Nazis bullied German doctors into agreeing that Jews were 'physically and mentally degenerate'. Stalin era Soviet doctors were threatened in the same way if they didn't diagnose dissidents as 'mentally I'll and socially maladjusted.' Doctors who don't go along with your agenda are threatened. Doctors can't afford that kind of controversy.
Why do this? Because that small cadre of white exclusivists has just figured out a way to retain privileges and power by excluding the poor and the brown. The nations that are the white world's potential breadbaskets, dumps, sources of cheap labor and prime material have to kept poor. And the base of their society 's is the NUCLEAR FAMILY. The nations of South and Central America, Eastern Europe, ALL. Of Asia, Indonesia and ALL of Africa reject, and will reject, the trans agenda. They call men, men and women women and will continue to do so. NOW a small white power base has the moral authority to condemn, subvert, withhold and sanction. The trans movement is emulating move-by-move the Victorian missionary colonial agenda: 'We have a social duty to educate you in the name of humanity. Do it our way or you will receive no foreign aid, tourism and we will condemn you openly at the UN. Agree that anyone can call themselves either man or woman or we will KEEP you poor." And it's brilliant. Technological superiority, military might and Protestant missionary fervor are in bad odor as ways to keep Muslims, Eastern European Christians, Hindu India and ALL Roman Catholic South and Central America from becoming empowered and influentiall participants in privileged white society. Of course you have token black and Asian stage dressing , highly visible entertainers who base entire half time and election shows on the trans agenda.

@LogicalMuzikmixer So, did you get the memo that giraffes, crocodiles and penguins do NOT have spoken or written language, do NOT have a cohesive written history where rhetoric and semantics play a significant part in their social structure and how they view themselves? By and large I am going with the theory that giraffes don't give a flying fork WHAT we call them. We just aren't that important to them. But human beings DO care because what we call each other marks our place in society. We are defined, recognized and placed in contextual value among our own species by language. I am a WOMAN. Since the beginning of human literacy-all literature- Sumerian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek and ANY script that has ever been deciphered, WOMAN MEANS ADULT HUMAN FEMALE. The fact that a small cadre of doctors- of medicine or otherwise- decided that they were going to play make-believe and create ghoulish, useless mockeries of human sex organs seven minutes ago DOSENT change the fact that the entire combined weight of human history supports me, not you. The doctors of the Third Reich were MORE than happy to let all Germany know that Jews were 'physically and morally degenerate." They found plenty of "scientific evidence" to back it up- skull shapes, illness frequency, etc. Stalin's doctors found PLENTY of 'medical proof" that those who opposed Communism were "maladapted" and 'mentally impaired " and got packed off to mental institutions. So your stamp of medical approval rings hollow in the face of the history of 20th Century medical complicity to high crimes. Especially hollow seeing that the doctors in THE REST OF THE KNOWN WORLD ARE SCALING THIS SHIT BACK at record levels. The UK's NHS is limiting puberty blockers to RESEARCH ONLY for people under 18. European countries allow puberty blockers only under the STRICTEST medical criteria, that means YEARS of study, medical history, medical,
psychiatric, psychological, sociological, so that ALL parties involved have a consistent history and a xalid diagnosis with a positive prognosis going forward.
Pink Floyd put it TEACHER LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE.
But I digress. A mutilated male, with an oozing surgical wound between his legs, is NOT A WOMAN.He can call himself a CHAIR, but he doesn't have four legs. He can call himself a CAR but he has not four wheels. An oozing, swollen extra hole he was not born with DOES NOT grasp a penis in a powerful muscular contraction, causing a sensation in the male for which Empires have been lost or won, transcendental poetry written and dynasties founded. A man will never be a woman. He cannot do what I can do. . And if you doubt me, ask a real MAN. THE proof of the pudding is in the eating, so they say...ask him to pick a flavor, Juicy Fruit or Hibicleanse wound cleaner. Yum yum get you some.🤮🤮🤮🤮

@Theo973 Thank you for what is arguably rhe biggest crock of horse pucky ever tranmitted electronically. This would be absolutely true IF WE WERE DISCUSSING A BABY.But Junior here us LONG past infancy. Listen Einstein, exactly WHAT MODEL OF CIVILIZATION ON PLANET EARTH HAS EVER EXISTED BASED ON PERPETUAL DEPENDENCY? What the he** benighted kind of morality do you practice that discourages personal responsibility to the extent that adulthood is not acheivable? This is imbecility so great that it just created its own gravity. Did they provide him with home, education, nutrition and a reasonable amount of guidance? Pal, I got no better. And yet i raised my own children and I am overjoyed to admit that none of them is a blowfly maggot eating my flesh. But hey, if you can point out to me ANY society-human or animal-where a parent nurses their young into their own decrepitude and death, then that would be knowledge. I can talk because my son-who didnt talk till he was four and is high functioning Autistic-has the most admirable work record, least absences and is one of the most respected workers I know. My daughter made her share of bad choices but has always been a hard worker, graduated at 36 from nursing school and i couldn't be prouder. Man how much do you hate this poor guy, that you want him to NEVER look in the mirror and say 'I am a human being of worth and accomplisment, a valuable and worthy member of society." You want to focus on his parents for insisting that Baby Boy here stop being an intestinal tape worm and become a functional member of society? Einstein WHO IS GOING TO GIVE THE TEAT TO JUNIOR HERE WHEN HIS PARENTS ARE DEAD? YOU?

@janoselter3743 1 Corinthians 11:23-35says thIS: THAT the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He gave thanks he brake it and said Take, eat: this is My body which is broken for you, do this in remembrance of me."
Luke22:19 "And he took bread and gave thanks and brake it, and gave unto them saying "This is my body which is given for you, this do in remembrance of Me.'. He quoted THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST. VERBATIM.
A parable? A parable is a fictionalized account meant to teach a lesson by comparing behaviors or circumstances to illustrate a point. This last supper account is NOT a parable it is describing an EVENT and that event would NOT be acceptable to worshippers of Jehovah in a Synagogue. What parable is this supposed to illustrate? There is nothing in the OT referring to drinking blood or eating flesh as a desirable thing, is there?
You cannot establish the dates of the Gospels. No one can. But by AD 175 the canon we recognize today was established by Irenaeus of Lyon. Did PAUL have EXCLUSIVE knowledge of Jesus teachings? Did not the Apostles predate Paul in their dissemination of the Gospel? The Gospel ( with the possible exception of John) was well known enough by Irenaeus to have withstood the test of time and and competing doctrines ( Pelagius, Arrius, Docetism, etc) to be included in the NT as we know it today. Because we have no EXTANT copy that matches or predates the uncial Greek of the Vaticanus and other early Incunabulae you deny that they existed. Are you going to deny or confirm that the Oral Gospel was well disseminated throughout the Empire? Tertullian describes the Christians 155 CE, with conclusive dating. They were active to be a nuisance to him. Allow me to also direct you to the fine work CHRISTIANITY UNDER CLAUDIUS.' ( F.F. Bruce Rylands Pro. of EXEGIS uni. of Manchester free online) A little known letter o Claudius to the governor of Alexandria connects the expulsion of Jews from Rome and Alexandria to a series of riots and demonstrations in Synagogues to about CE 54 ( this letter is in the British Museum). Claudious FORBIDS the travel of Jews from Syria to Alexandria...( Acts: " Antioch where first the brethren we're called CHRISTIAN). The Gospel was apparently well- known enough to give Claudius a migraine. What came first the chicken or the egg? Trick question. The Gospel in fragments, in scrolls, hidden in shoes and women's hairdos. Whether Paul wrote it down first is irrelevant; it was already making saints and martyrs and scholars all over the Roman Empire.
