  2. Those of you who wanted Donald Trump to overthrow the government, wanted to be the ones to also overthrow the government, so that you could dictate to others the new set of rules. Don't deny it ... because that is what you were, and are, thinking. You liked his style, simply because that would be your style, if only you had the power.

  3.  @SuperDZONI96  A messy government is where there is more than one party allowed. The politicians police each other, and bicker back and forth to try to win elections. What a wonderful system. In a dictatorship, there is one man that rules, and you follow his "advise," or meet a swift end to your lives. Do not KNOCK the government in the United States. It is good, BECAUSE it is messy. Of course it's not perfect. The politicians have to try to appease a whole lot of spoiled people, who all want only their own personal laws to dictate the lives of others. I live in Canada, and no matter which party is in power, I am thankful every day for the treatment I receive, and by the way ... I live in a trailer, in a trailer park. When you want too much, you might end up with someone in power such as Donald Trump, who, with his slick tongue will promise you anything ... just to get your votes ... and then WATCH OUT.

  4.  @SuperDZONI96  Your problem is, you are spoiled rotten and don't realize that that is the case. In some countries if you talked about the government the way you do in this post, you would be dead before nightfall. And if you were able to be a dictator of a government, I suggest that most people would be shot dead by orders from you ... because you are just that full of hate towards people in general.

  5.  @SuperDZONI96  The fact is, you are not at the border, desperately trying to enter the United States, because the government you left behind was trying to kill you. That is how I know you are spoiled rotten.

  7. One man that escaped dire poverty in Hungary, was not amused, when his wife started to complain over some trivial matter. She shut right up, when he said, "What??? Are you starving?

  11.  @dominiccooper2753  lol The study of words is fascinating. For instance, the etymology of the word “Amen.” From the book “Smith’s Bible Dictionary. Amon, or Amen (the mysterious), an Egyptian divinity, whose name occurs in that of No-amon. Nah 3:8. Amen was one of the eight gods of the first order, and chief of the triad of Thebes. He was worshipped at that city as Amen-Ra, or “Amen the Sun.”

  12.  @the_abandoned_monastery7218  Christians do not own the word "Amen." The word Amen was stolen from earlier cultures, and twisted to take on a different meaning. Literary sources include the Pyramid texts, temple hymns and the Egytian Book of the Dead. This source includes a hymn from at least 2000 BCE or later that begins “Amen, amen which art in heaven...” According to Ancient Egyptian religious history, Amen is a sun God, lord of the sky and king of the Egyptian world.

  13. White supremacists were satisfied that (Negroes) were dumb ... yet, when the black race was able to study the white man's ways ... those black men and women became judges and lawyers and doctors, et cetera, and beat many of the white supremacists at their own game of supposed superior intellects. I Q tests are fraudulent information, and should never be trusted, and neither should the people be trusted who promote those scams.

  14.  @beverlyhurd8556  Are you a white supremacist member of MENSA? What you post certainly seems that way.

  15.  @beverlyhurd8556  No ... that is not what I suggested. My point was that back in the day, white supremacist Christians didn't ALLOW the black race to read or write, and that is when in that same era, they were certain that all people with black or dark skin were born DUMB. However ... once those people with dark skin were allowed to read and write, they proved that they were every bit as intelligent as the people with white skin. Now, do you understand what I meant?

  16.  @beverlyhurd8556  From the book … Forest G. Wood is the author of “The Arrogance of Faith.” Despite his best intentions, Jones, like virtually every southern clergyman, never doubted the innate inferiority of the black race.

  17.  @beverlyhurd8556  It was ... and still is... common for church people to blame their own nasty behavior on the will of a god. Forest G. Wood is the author of “The Arrogance of Faith.” Like supporters of slavery in other denominations, southern Methodists argued that slavery was approved by God and that its status was a government concern, not an ecclesiastical one. The church must be neutral in such matters.

  18.  @beverlyhurd8556  Are you excusing the fact that Christians said that it was a god that ordained slavery? From the book … Forest G. Wood is the author of “The Arrogance of Faith.” … The Catholic slaveholder could always argue that he was only doing what his church allowed. An organization that claims ultimate power must also accept ultimate responsibility. But like their Protestant counterparts, Catholic slaveholders were true to their faith only so long as such profession did not jeopardize their economic wellbeing.

  19.  @beverlyhurd8556  You continually twist my words to suit your own agenda. Of course slavery occurred all over the world among all races and religions, and in many cases ... it is ongoing.. My point was, that when the black race was allowed by white Christian supremacist to be able to read and write ... the blacks proved that they were every bit as intelligent as the whites. In other words IQ was proven wrong. Color of skin had nothing in common with that word "intelligence. That was my point.

  21.  Erik Everhard  Only people who are arrogant would create such a term as "intelligence quotient"... as they would comprehend that the opposite reference to that term, would be "lack of intelligence."

  22.  Erik Everhard  When the Catholic physician, John Rock created the birth control pill ... the pope must have thought that John was not only extremely dumb ... but that (to go against 'GOD's will) John was pure evil. From the book … ABORTION IS NOT A SIN ... author ... Kent B. Welton Ironically, it was Dr. John Rock, a Roman Catholic physician, who developed the birth control pill. He was courageous enough to pursue the dictates of his conscience rather than the precepts of his Church - which he came to know to be dangerous and dismal. As a result, he sought to change the world for the better. Rock attributes his independent streak to a buggy ride he took in 1904 as a young lad of fourteen. A Roman Catholic priest of unusual independence took him along on a weekly visit to a poor farm. The clergyman then advised young Rock to "always stick to his conscience... never let anyone else keep it for you... and I mean anyone else." Given such inspiration, his independence never flagged, even after publication his book on contraception, The Time has Come, resulted in editorial denunciations from the Pilot, Boston's Archdiocesan paper, which cautioned him to "watch his step or else." It is a scandal that so many dissidents in the Church have had exactly these, mafia-like, warnings, or worse, after exercising their independence of thought - particularly in a public forum where they might embarrass the Church. These events only illustrate intolerance is a characteristic of true believers, and a sorry characteristic of this Church thru the centuries.

  24.  Helga Gretten  How can you be certain that you are not hallucinating?

  25.  @WsprWndrr  Religious hallucinations are all geared by what people are taught before they have the hallucinations. For instance, a Catholic nun will think she sees other nuns and Jesus, while a Hindu might believe she sees Krishna, and a Buddhist might think he sees Buddha. It's much the same as looking in a mirror and seeing one's own reflection.

  36. To believe that self's soul can escape the treadmill of reincarnation, self has to believe that self's soul is completely enlightened ... as in perfected ... which from my perspective means, that self is tripped out on self's own ego. By the way, (within theology) where do devotees believe that enlightened souls go, once the souls escape the treadmill of reincarnation?

  39.  @yourlordandsaviouryeesusbe2998  I suggest that we have two choices. We can either believe that a creator created a plan where suffering exists in all forms of life ... or ... we can believe that suffering is natural, because the universe always existed. I choose the second way of believing.

  40. Religious scribes earned, and still do earn their material living by writing words. Had those books been labeled as tabloids rather than HOLY BOOKS, they still would have been best sellers. From the book … CARL SAGAN … THE DEMON HAUNTED WORLD … SCIENCE AS A CANDLE IN THE DARK. Sal Ivone, the managing editor of Weekly World News, discussing the stories he publishes, says “For all I know, they could be the product of active imaginations. But because we’re a tabloid, we don’t have to question ourselves out of a story.” Skepticism doesn’t sell newspapers. Writers who have defected from the tabloids describe “creative” session in which writer and editors dream up stories and headlines out of whole cloth, the more outrageous the better.

  41. Buddhism is simply a branch off of Hinduism. Just as it was men that created the mythology of Hinduism, it was other men that later on created the mythology of Buddhism. To escape the treadmill of reincarnation, one has to believe that one is "totally enlightened spiritually" ... which would mean to be perfect. Imperfection would mean that the soul has to keep coming back to earth, to pay more debts of more negative karma. At least the mythology of heaven or hell is precise and definite, as the saved souls spend eternity in heaven, and the rejected souls spend eternity in hell. At age 70, I finally escaped religion, and at age 81 feel whole, just as I am, and now believe, as did Stephen Hawking before he died, that the universe always existed ... no creator involved.

  42. It's all in the "wording." Had he coined the term “Near death hallucinations,” rather than “Near death experiences,” would he then have had a "following?" Raymond Moody. Raymond A. Moody, Jr. (born June 30, 1944) is a philosopher, psychologist, physician and author, most widely known for his books about life after death and near-death experiences (NDE), a term that he coined in 1975 in his best-selling book Life After Life.

  47.  Fred Foot  I was raised in a Christian culture, but religion never made any sense to me. I figured that if I was powerful enough to create a universe, suffering would not exist. Otherwise, I could not claim to be perfect, nor could I expect to be worshiped. After years of study of all religions, at the age of 70, I became an Atheist, and now believe as did Stephen Hawking, before he died, that the universe in one form or another, always existed, and that suffering is natural ... no creator involved. I am now 82 years of age, and feel whole just as I am. It’s as probable that my personal consciousness will survive the death of the material body that I inhabit, as it will be that the personal consciousness of an alligator will survive the death of the material body that he or she inhabits. What you believe is your choice.

  48.  Fred Foot  Each religious cult, is a branch off a tree of misinformation, that in turn, prides itself as being super-natural information. Without Judaism, there wouldn't be any Catholicism, or Islam, or Protestantism. And before Judaism started the one-god dogma, Jews believed in the existence of many gods. Had we evolved with paws or hooves, neither science, nor religion, would exist. And if as a species, we go extinct, neither science, nor religion will exist ... period ... and the earth will not miss us, even one little bit, as it will continue to do "what comes naturally."

  49.  Fred Foot  People fresh out of the caves, didn't understand anything, so they made up stories of gods existing, that rewarded good behavior, and punished bad behavior. Killing their neighbors as heretics, was preached as being good behavior ... according to the gods ... blah, blah, blah. Religion is a mockery of any semblance of common sense.

  50.  Fred Foot  Concerning the theology of a supposed afterlife, in the self-serving quests to gain followers, theologians found it necessary to preach fear tactics. If they had, in humility, preached that a god of pure unconditional love exists, that will reward all souls with eternal bliss ... who would have felt a “need” to hear any more words expressed by those theologians? If you want to keep believing that a god exists, that in turn will favor your personal soul with eternal bliss, while punishing other souls for eternity ... that is your choice. It never was my choice, and that is why those teachings never did make any sense to me.
