jakelafort replied to the topic I saw this on Quora….what really matters when you’re about to die? in the forum Small Talk 4 years ago
I know we’ve discussed it already but i am not a lover of the word, spiritual. It is just too amorphous. Effective communication typically requires avoidance of the word. Although there may be places where it resonates. This comes to mind. Ya jump into a hole in the ice and come out and roll around in the snow. Afterwards ya can say ya had a…[Read more]

Yeah the poor guy is delusional. If you are not familiar with the signs of a psychotic break i think you will upon investigation realize that michael17/johan is right down the middle. Additionally his syntax and spelling have deteriorated as he has declined.
That is why i wondered whether a person who may be more susceptible to schizophrenia…[Read more]

Belle, that was really Johny on the spot of her brother.
I reject your premise. Once a person has studied history, anthropology and religion there is zero reason to investigate religion as a potential source of knowledge about a possible after-life. I don’t see any rational reason to suppose that consciousness goes on long after the lights go…[Read more]

Enco, your apotheosis of free markets is ridiculous.
In this case it is causing a guy freewheeling in hatred to lose a lot of money. Ok, that is cool. However, the withdrawal of support depends on the contemporary mores. In another age an abolitionist or suffragette might have his backers withdraw their support for violating vile norms.
Also…[Read more]

It would be surprising if Gods were conceived as having no gender. Instead it is as expected a reflection of the simpletons and a projection onto and into their mythology.

I would put a twenty on not fucking with us…psychotic break…and take one to two.

Robert, that is the goal. But ya darn sure can not make that transition without intermediate steps. But it is just a pipe dream. I am not aware of anybody anywhere doing anything to change things for the better.

Enco, only a few bigots?
Imagine one world. That is what i have been thinking for a long time. Instead of good guy/bad guy and realpolitik in mindless wars how about a world-wide movement that includes basic civil rights, no dictatorships, no theocracies, no citizens willing to go to war except in defense of their country, no wars unless the top…[Read more]

Yes that is good objective evidence.
Here is a book about the early Christians that maintains that even among the cults of Rome the early Christians were freaky freaks. Sacrifices. Subterannean chambers for getting high. I forgot the drugs they used. Oh, and weird sex shit.

Oh hell yes Robert. Of course i have read about it repeatedly. I have heard it.
“Who killed Christ? The Jews killed Christ!” Those motherfuckers. Christianity loves to hate Jews. Eastern Orthodox too. And the part of that equation that is not usually recognized i think is that it is particularly troubling for some Christians to realize that JC…[Read more]

Unseen, i actually do not know much about Judaism. Closest i came was a few visits to a synagogue with relatives and in a Jewish summer camp against the instructions of my parents i had some kind of class in some kind of Judaism. I remember looking at a bible in Hebrew and how you read it backwards.
I was however illustrating the point i have…[Read more]

Jews missed the boat?
Which Jews think they are the chosen people?
Who is in the video and how does it relate to your point?

Antisemitism is on the rise too. That is not a good sign either. I don’t know where i am from. So not sure where i would go when US implements its final solution.

I’d give him mad props were he pranking us. Unfortunately it is not a prank. It is psychosis.

I suppose psychosis is always going to find an expression.
I wonder whether borderline psychosis might not manifest without the fertile territory
religion furnishes its host. Talk about immersed in horse shit there is seemingly endless
mythology and opportunity to superimpose oneself in the fiction. -

I listened as intently as i could while handicapping. The guest seemed to be a genuine expert in the history of the region.
The majority of it was mostly a waste of time from my perspective. It seems pretty clear that Putin is not justified in invading Ukraine. Pretexts for doing so are irrelevant and BS.

No need to make distinctions in what is fair game for food. There is no detestable comestible unless it is a vegetable.

Sunday School 4 years agoPope, astute.
Utilizing extreme examples and holding them out implicitly as the representative example is an easy way to make one’s case when ideologue’s, aka mindless masses are the listeners. Easy peezy this aint cheesy lemon squeezy.
And undoubtedly there is a memetic viral nature to the utilization of extremes as badges of dishonor in the…[Read more]
