Sunday School 3 years, 8 months agoSimon, I see marionettes. People are not evil. They’re mindless and amenable to the most ineffable manipulation.
That is why there is a glimmer if only a Potempkin shimmer to ameliorate lives of people everywhere and reduce existential risk.

Sunday School 3 years, 8 months agoDavis, I agree. Was not trying to diminish or contradict anything you asserted. In fact Islam is to my knowledge a combination of Judaism and Christianity and very similar to Christianity as a political institution that fractured and produced various sects & sought to conquer, absorb and proselytize. It is just that at this point Islam is more…[Read more]

Sunday School 3 years, 8 months agoThere are roughly 2 billions Muslims. Islam is a DRIVER of immorality. It is a political institution and it seeks to increase its membership and influence. Yeah it is all make-believe. But at this point it is as far as i can ascertain the number 1 enemy to humanist ideals.
It is obviously important that we don’t get the Ben Affleck’s in a dither…[Read more]

” At the end of the day, religion is a tool that serves human interest.”
Whose or what interest? If you are simply saying that proof of usefulness is longevity then you can say that about harmful and parasitic bacteria or other pathogens.
Serves dictators? Politicians? Pedophiles? Rapists? Sexists? Anti-fill in the blank.
I will…[Read more]

Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.

Abrahamic religion is an unabashed balderdash we ought to trash.

One life to lose.
Hasten the inevitable. We are immortal.
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
Apropos of nothing i am reading a book. Title is Horse and Buggy Doctor. I recommend it to give some context to just how far we have come. Also lots of amusing anecdotes and description of days of yore.

All of the science, all of the guidance, ought to be utterly divorced from politics. Count on humans to fuck up everything no matter how urgent.
I am outside hiking a lot and i never wear a mask but i move along and encounter few humans and buzz by em when i do. Often there is a breeze so i doubt there is much risk. But yeah i imagine big public…[Read more]

Do you have any opinion on transmission of covid outside?

“Hello! Thank you for recognizing online Raelian Schizophrenics like me.”
Hi. Are you a Raelian? If so i am curious to know what you believe-the tenets and whether there is evidence to support.

Strega,
“I occasionally wonder if the Christians that come to this site, do so for some alternative titillation, since masturbation is a mortal sin for them.”
Nice line. Good policy for Christianity to keep em feeling guilty for something they will keep doing anyhow. Better go to confession and do a bunch of rosary beads!

Robert,
“If you have a society already preconditioned via indoctrination to believe a celestial authoritarian is required, it is easier to subjugate them with a human figure. Note how modern democracy arose when people started rejecting that notion. Kings and queens lost their heads.”
Agreed mostly. Kings and queens were losing heads long before…[Read more]

Strega,
Doctor Bob is not an apologist. He is simply an affable curmudgeon. No axe to grind unless it is to grind the mind of those who are not aligned.

Apologies Enco.
I was making a joke. Was poking fun at the circumambient hypersensitivity to racism. And damn what an exagerration. Some tiny fraction of woke and the entire group gets taken to task. My bad. Racism is usually a blunt force instrument. Yet it can be subtle like housing and job denials without any apparent hostility. My mistaken…[Read more]
