Reg, i am not sure how significant debates are. I mean they seem to move polls a little bit after the fact and yet the prognosticator of presidential elections does not have that as a significant factor.

Also it seems to me that most voters are going to be ideologically driven and therefore not swayed by either candidate no matter how they do.…[Read more]

Following is a link to story about a Bedouin Muslim Israeli who had the integrity and bravery to do the right thing. Incredibly heroic and ballsy.

The gay dentist made me think of a friend of mine who unfortunately died. Was a gay/atheist dentist from bible belt born into a sickeningly Christian family. So he told me he was more afraid to tell him mom he was an atheist than that he was gay. But neither revelation was pleasant.

Reg, that was a good anecdote.

I assume that is why so many Muslim are rapists of Whites in Europe. Women are property and have less value than men and when women are not even Muslims they are fare game. Of course the constant covering of women in freakish costumes that conceal so much skin makes prurient interests manifest.

Ya know when ya think about it the dehumanization…[Read more]

Oh and a silly little manners story…

I had a Muslim guy and his wife consult me and when i met em i went to shake her hand. She just looked at me but the husband FUHREAKED! You do not touch my wife! Went on and on in what was clearly a demonstration of bad manners. He was an asshole entire consultation. Yeah i know interaction with one or two…[Read more]

I think origins of religion can be understood at first as a way to make the environment intelligible and to gain some semblance of control and order. And then humans being humans power dynamics enter the picture. Pattern recognition had to play a part in the formation of rituals that took on supertitious meaning. And then things unfolded in a…[Read more]

It is wild to me and yet unsurprising that Simon who is into ethics/morality and writing a book about it has so little negative reaction to Islam.

Isn’t dedicated to evil? Such a nonquestion. Which religion or political ideology describes itself as dedicated to evil?

Supposed to be making world better place? For whom? 60 yrs old men raping…[Read more]

Simon, oh.

So predictable what would happen in Afghanistan after USA withdrew.

The episode that i linked was not my intention. She interviews primarily Muslims/former Muslims from various nations that tell their story as it relates to Islam. The bigots are the ones who conjure narratives about good guys/bad guys based on their identity.

Allowing Islam to remain off limits to criticism is a deplorable and unforgivable…[Read more]

Simon, please don’t swallow the lefty koolaid. Islam is a gigantic and vile cult that dehumanizes and causes untold suffering. It is not something fundamentally ok that is highjacked by some baddies. Here i have linked a podcast series given by a lovely woman who grew up in Islam and is an apostate who escaped a marriage to an Muslim terrorist.…[Read more]

Strega that is a great description of pi.

I read a book about synesthesia. It is an interesting attribute. I can well imagine most people who have it see it as a gift. I was only jabbing free willers.

If you have synesthesia in color association or otherwise and you are unhappy about that simply exercise your free will to eliminate the weirdness.

The pervasiveness of the Islamic agenda in our institutions of higher learning…cough, cough…is shocking even to a cynic. At least this one…

And even as i have for a long time thought people can be programmed with any beliefs i used to think it required early indoctrination. Nope..

Not sure whether a fervent progressive or Trumpist is more ardent. Man oh man they despise and dehumanize the other side. Both certain of their moral high ground and how intractably stupid the other side…
