Fernapple comments on Nov 16, 2020:

Personally I find Christian culture yucky, and the none theological culture around Christianity puts me of it, even more perhaps, than literal belief in the sky fairy. I can therefore have some sympathy for your friend, especially coming from an Islamic background, it must seem as though Christian references are everywhere in western culture. But living and working within the history you have, does not promote an historically redundant religious view, especially since most people neither understand it or give it a thought. No one ever became a Pagan because the days of the week are named after Pagan gods.

Fernapple comments on Nov 15, 2020:

Funny old rhyme, about magpies. One for sorrow. Two for joy, Three is a girl, And four is a boy. Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven is a secret, Never to be told, Eight is a wish, Nine a kiss. Ten is the bird, You must not miss. Three, so are you going to have a granddaughter ? There are several old versions of the rhyme, which is perhaps the last scrap of the once common practice of ornithomancy, still in common use. One old version I read, replaced the line. "Seven is a secret, never to be told." With the line. "Seven is a baby buried in the woods." I hope times have moved on, a bit since those days.

If you have your preference setting adjusted for religion and theological debate, then you will not find much here. Since most of the members here come in part to avoid that, move on from there and widen their horizons. If you wish to debate religion then that is fine, but don't blame us if the debate is banal and shallow, the fact that it is banal and shallow, is one of the reasons why many of us left it anyway.

The only thing that I think they can be logically sold for, is to reduce pollution in urban areas, at the expense of more in suburban/rural areas, of course. Or maybe they are just targeted at the unthinking.

A simple logical question. Why is it thought appropriate, to give infinite punishment for a finite crime ? Leaving aside the question of if your sexual orientation is really a sin, and if it could be a sin in a world where everything is given to you, by a perfect god, spin the logic of that how you like, if you have time to waste. However bad you are here on earth, you have only one lifetime to sin in, and can only do so much harm. How therefore, even if you were to be, say, the most evil, cruel and successful serial killer ever, would infinite punishment, out lasting all the pain you caused here, by an infinite number of times, be appropriate.

What were the consequences of the religious upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

Fernapple comments on Nov 7, 2020:

One of the, perhaps under appreciated, effects was perhaps the rise of secularism. After two hundred years of religious violence, and forced conformity, almost everyone capable of thinking, was disillusioned and exhausted. Which made the eighteenth century into the first flourishing of secularism, leading in part to the French and American revolutions, the rise of science as an organized system, and the open use of purely secular thought addressing social and economic questions. Before of course a reaction set in as in the later nineteenth century, as religion began to be seen as a useful tool for controlling the masses, and the governing classes began to fear that secularism could empower people.

What improvements do you make to gear?

Fernapple comments on Nov 7, 2020:

Sadly perhaps, because I am obsessive, nearly everything I get has to be 'improved'. My strolling shoulder bag got too new map pockets on the front. Which are very handy for quick access, but also cover up the ugly manufacturers logo. While my new, for fun, but low carbon transport, got a lockable lid for its basket, to keep things a bit secure, and a towing hook for the really steep hills. (Advantage of three wheels, older people can tow it.)

And that is simply that the whole story, is just a written down memory, of some technically primitive, rural, perhaps nomadic, people's reactions, to their first encounter with a big city. Where there are, to them, unbelievable tall buildings and an impossible to understand cosmopolitan, multicultural, multilingual population. Could be any big city anywhere, in any age.

Why was the popular vote so close in the US presidential election?

Fernapple comments on Nov 6, 2020:

All democracies become split down the middle. Because each side coming from one direction, tries to grab as much of the demographic as it can, by appealing to the centre but starts to loose support from its loud outer fringe as it moves into the centre. Forcing a state of balanced halves, with no room for third opinions. That means that it is almost inevitable that in all democracies, the majority in the centre of the political bell curve, are forced into choosing the lesser of two evils all the time. Perhaps that is a good thing, since it helps to stop apathy. But it can also lead to dangerous swing politics, where any movement towards the extreme by one side is seen as an invitation and compulsion, to become more extreme by the other, the swings often becoming deeper and more reactive over time, until constant changes of policy from one extreme to the other begin to damage the states institutions. I remember reading many years ago, the naturalist Konrad Lorenz. Who lived through the nineteen thirties in Germany. Proposing that this was observable in German politics before the collapse of the main parties, admitting the then tiny Nazi party in, to make a grab for power. Some people hold that well designed electoral systems, based on things like proportional representation could prevent political division and swing politics, but of course that is at the cost of apathy and possible corruption, by entrenched political castes.

Then we could be very alone, but sadly, not for much longer. There only needs to be one doomsday technology out there waiting to be discovered. You push the start button, without realizing the consequences, and you are gone. Personally I think we have already done it, though it is a rather slow burn killer to start with, but it will soon catch us, and it is called agriculture. But I could be wrong, and there could be several others waiting for us to invent.

Actually though, prayer may not be free for men. I have read that there is a lot of research which says that, raising the status and earnings of women, raises the economy better than any other single thing that you can do. So keeping the pay gap actually makes everyone poorer. (As does a high rich poor divide as well.) A lot of discontent in religious communities stems from the idea that. 'If we have the best religion, and are the favourites of god. Why are we poor, while many of the secular are rich.' And the natural conclusion is of course that everyone else is cheating, or even in league with the devil, therefore lets buy some guns and start shooting people. Because of course the one thing never to be considered, is that it may be your stupid religion that is one of the main, (perhaps not only) factors keeping you poor.

You can even go to church and sing along if you wish, as an atheist you must know that it is meaningless. If you do choose to tell people, then you will discover, perhaps, that you may lose a few friends, but they were not good friends anyway. It will be the best which stay. And remember there is an ever growing atheist community, where it is not hard to find honest friends.

In most of the old testament Satan or a satan, is simply the servant and friend of God. The persona we know, only appears in the last and most doubtful parts of the Bible, as a crude theological invention. Needed because the tribal God of the children of Abraham, and the local area, was changing into a global god of goodness, and if god was all good, then an explanation for evil was needed. However they were probably in such a rush, and so disorganized, that they did not think it through, and probably did not care. Because being arrogant, the authors/editors assumed that most of their inferior believers would not be capable of asking intelligent questions.
