Fellow Unbelievers,

I had to share this too. Might take the wind out of the sails for Michael17’s next argument 😁 :

Fellow Unbelievers,

Some great news from The Russo-Ukrainian War that may signal an end and possibly the Russian people rising up and getting the freedom they’ve never had:

On the one hand, the Republicans complain that we should know the victor after the polls close because nobody wants to wait days, weeks, or months to find out who won. On the other, they are setting up a challenge process that could literally break the election process with no winner being…[Read more]

So, a massive object generates these wavicles? and that is how space is stretched and compressed?

I know that mass and energy are conversions of each other, and that gravity wavicles are a form of energy, but what mass is being converted to create them?

The Earth “thinks” that it is flying thought Space in a straight line. But it is pulled towards the Sun by the force of gravity and so is compelled to circle around it. This is basically the way Newton understood it to be. Einstein improved upon it by explaining that the mass of the Sun is so enormous the it warps the Space (Spacetime) around it.…[Read more]

Sometimes gravity feels like a particle, sometimes it feels like a wave. That whole dead cat duality thing. I guess now we know that changes in space-time happen at the speed of light.

Even non-electromagnetic waves are fascinating. An earthquake causes a water displacement, and the resulting tsunami delivers all that energy across hundreds of…[Read more]

Any physicists in the house? This whole gravity thing is confusing. Is gravity a particle, a wave, or a wavicle? And is Einstein’s definition of gravity as the distortion of space by mass now wrong?

There was a Bob Newhart radio sketch where he and his friend bemoan the boredom of a Sunday, over and over – then one of them realises the clocks went back the night before, and they have an extra hour to hate!

Time zones are just a conspiracy to confuse the flat earth society.

Thanks Reg!

Nobody told me the clocks went back last night.

Have a great week everyone!

Unseen, I am sure we both recently have lost sleep over the FACT that the Furries are being pandered to and allowed to have their own litter trays in school. I suspect some will even have their names embossed on them in liberal lettering paid for by the taxpayers! Grrrgh!!  At least some good Christians are standing up in protest against this…[Read more]

There is a miniseries which you can watch on Netflix and elsewhere called The Family. It explains the dark Christian mechanism for subverting and taking over U.S. government.

The sad thing is that now that it’s all unfolding before our eyes, there’s probably little that can be done to stop it. We missed the…[Read more]

All politics is local is a political adage that seems to be a reasonable statement.  People tend to vote for a local politician that will represent their interests at a local level. In Atlanta, one of many States that have election deniers and incompetent people running for office next Tuesday, the adage falls flat on its face. People like…[Read more]

I agree, but am recently thinking there’s more than one cause, and I’m often not sure which to call the “root cause” any more. There seems to be a kindof perfect-storm confluence of causes, where the most gullible or angry citizens are successfully led and p…[Read more]

Reg,

Much obliged on the post.

This is the funniest part of the article:

On the other hand, you have candidates like Doug Mastriano, who, despite being vocally committed to a program of reactionary Christian supremacy in all things, denies that the label refers to anything real. “Is this a term you fabricated?” he asked The New Yorker jou…[Read more]

It’s a good explanation of the mechanics of it, but not the root causes. I think the dissatisfaction of the aging- off-the-coasts-boomers knows no bounds. They feel they didn’t get their slice of pie and they were looking for a wrecking ball.

Here’s a take on why left and right candidates tend toward their extremes. I pretty much knew this already, but Fareed Zakaria has the best way to explain it that I’ve heard to date.

Riddle me this; when is a Christian Nationalist not a Christian Nationalist?

Only before they’ve been indoctrinated. Otherwise….forget it. It’s too late 😂

Nothing serves religious nationalism better than the conviction that its members are under constant persecution.
