Simon, the Kool-Aid? You’ve ingested it. Haven’t you?

You said you don’t need to buy into the whole package to be able to get benefit from it. Do you feel the same for Nazism? Is it okay to come away with the cherries of Nazism? If not how do you distinguish Christianity?

You are not simply removing the cherries and discarding the pits. You…[Read more]

Simon, avoid the Christian Kool-Aid.

It makes no sense to salvage Christianity cuz it has some things about it that are not entirely odious. You might find some positives in Nazism also. Good family values, unity, blonde hair and blue-eyed uber alles, and a bonus for building the autobahn. Whatever is positive about Nazism, are those attributes…[Read more]

Michael, canvas the population of those considered immoral?

Hmmm, i consider you and your ilk immoral. Perpetuating the mind virus and its edifice is damning. Making the lives of LBGT more difficult which causes them more stress and causes them to smoke more frequently which in turn contributes to those illnesses but you want to evaluate those…[Read more]

works for me…

This is my brain on dope.

That same sentiment of the penitent in doing penance is present when ancients and not so ancients make sacrifices. But i have a feeling when the transition from polytheism to theism was made a concomitant intensity was exacted both in terms of terms and intensity of feeling.

Piper piped a song for Trump so he stained the populace with his rural pen.

Robert, i think there is of necessity a dualism for a proponent of determinism. None of us can escape its hold over us and our affairs. We know that when we calmly reflect and are being philosophical. At same time as we live our lives we feel all of the emotions and inevitably dislike, condemn, hate, love, like. cuz we have no choice in the…[Read more]

Yeah Jody i guess you are right. I don’t know origin of contrition. But a sinner in the hands of an angry god will feel contrite. So will an atheist though who has done somebody wrong song. My distaste for repentance is probably mostly emotional.

Hi Jody,

I think repentance has a strictly religious provenance. It can be used more broadly but rarely is. If ya feel ya fucked up and feel shitty about it i would go with contrition or a synonym. Repentance is just too strongly and sickeningly religious for my liking. There is something depraved about it as the sinner bows to the great…[Read more]

Yeah Reg, Swift, albeit a great satirist was incomplete in his satirical lampooning. Perhaps the glaring omission did not reflect his views. Just a guess.

I remember reading an account of Hume’s death from his History of England and in it he is portrayed as being cool and stoic. Made an impression on me although the details have faded. Your…[Read more]

Odd Reg, we have literary likes in common..Blake is no fake, the shadows, el sueno, then Cheltenham, beltin em, heart rate hikes..yikes..ya probably like Swift too and Hume wont make ya blue..ok i am through

Michael it is almost certainly super sonic speed of light defying angels. Blake wrote sumpin that is instructive…and the angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy, he’d have God for his father and never want joy. So there you have it. Blake was in on the prophecy. Blake must have witnessed the angel speed popping the field and used that to keep Tom…[Read more]

Michael, give us the UFO scoop. Wah iz it?
