Do you think that " I have found god" should mean the same as "A get out of Gaol/Jail free" card.

Fastigiate
adjective
Having branches that are erect and parallel, tapering to a pointed top.
FrayedBear comments on Dec 7, 2019:
Related to fastidious by any chance? @LenHazell53?
I wonder if it could be misused ( ? ) in statements like "What lovely fastigiate nipples you have now that I have made them pert/erect" and "let me comb your lovely merkin to give it a more fastigiate appearance!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
LenHazell53 replies on Dec 7, 2019:
Fastidious comes from the Latin fastus meaning pride or arrogance
Fastigiate is (I am assuming) a compound word from fastigium meaning to culminate in and fastigatus meaning an upward slope, hence a tree (or bush) of tapering branches that culminates at the bottom such as the Hornbeam

@Gwendolyn2018 This true but it is one of the tenets of Freemasonry that you must at least profess a belief in Christianity in order to join a lodge or Temple.
If you do this, and they don't mind if you lie, once you have progressed through the first three levels (apprentice, fellow, and master mason) you will be allowed the first "Mystery" which is the True name of Gawd knowing which allows membership in to the special part of Freemasonry for the elites known as the Royal Arch (in York rite and Holy arch in Scottish rite).
The name is *Jahbulon*, (Pronounced Yabaalon) if you are interested made up of Ia (Canaanite god of water and wisdom,) Baal (Hebrew word for Lord) an On (A holy city in ancient Egypt) so roughly translating as the Lord God of the Nile.

So basically God told Moses to ask Pharoah to let them go and the the same god told Pharaoh to say yes and then to change his mind three times and say no, and then when Pharoah obeyed god, that same god started cursing the people of Egypt with the plagues.
So even if Moses was not a terrorist Yahweh definitely was.

Moses used terrorism on his own people, and against those who he perceived as inferior. If you discount the plagues of Egypt as the work of "god" once in the wilderness, he kept his people prisoner for 40 years for a journey that should have taken 96 hours at most, imposed the ten commandments on them and started publicly executing people for gathering sticks on a sabbath day.
Caused the destruction of the Kingdom of king Balak, because he objected to the Jews living on the border of his country Moab and helping themselves to whatever they wanted. Moses enlisted the sorcerer Ballam to convince Balak that if he attacked the Jews the Syrians would invade his country and kill everyone, apparently this worked and when Jericho fell to Israel Balak was still to frightened to intervene and his Kingdom soon fell.
He raided and terrorised the Midianites (another house of Israel like the Jews, bt who god apparently was not so keen on) and the Amorites to the point where they sued for peace, at which point Moses ordered them to circumcise themselves as a show of faith and while they were incapacitated slaughtered every man and boy, took the girl children as sex slaves and then killed their mothers in front of them to ensure obedience.
He then claimed the city of Jericho for his people and assigned Joshua a war mongering lunatic as his successor because he knew Josh would kill everyone in the city as he Moses ordered (except for one prostitute who he bribed in to helping them).
Moses was an evil git, who fits every definition of a terrorist.

@WilliamFleming 20% of hospital builds are openly owned in full by Christian churches, this does not count hospitals built on church owned lands, administered and or sponsored by churches, hospitals built by commercial arms of church (In Utah for instance all hospitals are owned by either the LDS, the Corporations of the first bishopric, the corporation of the president of the lds, the Bonneville corporation etc all of which are arms of the LDS, the catholics and protestant churches all have equivalent commercial arms)
This also does not include hospitals supported or sponsored by religious institutions, or those who have clergy on their boards of directors.
The actual amount of hospitals WITHOUT church or other religious influence on their operations is nearer 15%

DO YOU THINK DISORGANIZED (NEW AGE) RELIGION IS AS BAD AS ORGANIZED RELIGION?
Mb_Man comments on Sep 24, 2019:
Can't say that I have ever heard of this concept (disorganized religion).
LenHazell53 replies on Nov 18, 2019:
An alternate term is privatised religion in the sense that believers make up their own doctrine and no two members need believe the same thing.
Unfortunately Privatised as a word has heavy socialist connotations when used in politics or economics and so has given way to Disorganised (or disorganized in the USA where ize and ise are treated simply as alternate spellings and not different suffixes as they are in the rest of the world -ise, indicating quality, condition, and -ize added to adjectives and nouns to form transitive verbs meaning “to render, make” )

Marionville comments on Nov 17, 2019:
Apparently it’s a sacrilege...but it didn’t stop the practice from occurring. The word comes from Simon Magus a Samaritan sorcerer who endeavoured to buy from the Apostles the power of the Holy Spirit - Acts 8:18.
LenHazell53 replies on Nov 17, 2019:
Simon Magus is a fascinating historical character, apart from the brief mention of him in the Acts of the apostles, he is found in almost all of the apocryphal gospels, is mentioned as a disciple of John the Baptist in Josephus and a in few other historical pieces merited mention as an itinerant preacher and miracle worker.
He apparently traveled with an entourage of musicians and his nubian concubine Helen who danced in a cage wearing chains, before the miracle show began.
He was a contender to take over the church lead by John the Baptist but was thrown out by John's actual successor (whose name escapes me for the moment) and so formed his own wandering ministry.
Some speculate that he was the man mentioned in Mark 9:38 who performed Miracles in the name of Jesus who the disciples want to punish but who Jesus told them to leave alone.

WilliamFleming comments on Nov 16, 2019:
Actually we all operate on some degree of faith. There is usually at least some evidence either way and we make a gut decision. Evidence and reason are fine, but they will not tell you the absolute truth. Truth is not absolute.
LenHazell53 replies on Nov 17, 2019:
@WilliamFleming Yes, how does that relate to a book by a behavioural psychologist quoting a quantum physicist out of context to try and prove that microcosmic physics which are being referred to are exactly the same as macrocosmic physics, which they are not in order to prove the spurious argument that just because you can hear, see, touch, smell, taste and touch real things in no way proves they are real.
Come on Bill you know it is bollocks, why are you pretending it is not?

@WilliamFleming You have an odd and non typical definition of faith, if we cannot agree a simple definition of faith in a secular sense and faith when used in the theological sense we will simply go around in circles achieving nothing.
If your world view is that reality consists of physical objects moving in space and time, then your belief rests on ...
NOT faith, evidence, established fact and mathematical models.
When I left for home this afternoon I had faith that my house was still there.
No you didn't you had a wealth of experience and aposteriori facts to present a reasonable expectation, that is NOT faith.

@drkhannabis I am aware that Islam has various denominations and traditions in the same way all religions including Judaism and Christianity do, but thank you for clarifying my remarks.
I have had two very good Muslim friends in my life, both were very liberal and both married non muslim wives simply because they valued independent thinking in their wives.
However they were back then in a minority a situation that is changing for the better both here (UK) and abroad, but all too slowly which in part is responsible for the reactionary knee jerk reactions among the fundamentalist and extremists who see tradition as strength and enforced orthodoxy as paradise worthy piety as was and to some extent still is the case in the western "faiths".
