there seems to me to be way to much animosity towards religion.
SCal comments on Dec 13, 2019:
You clearly meant not enough animosity.
LenHazell53 replies on Dec 13, 2019:
@Gwendolyn2018 Well in the west animosities have stopped the religious from being allowed to burn atheist in the town square, they have been stopped from banning books, they have been stopped from persecuting and ostracising non believers, they lost the power of the ridiculous law of blasphemy and the censorship associated with it, it has stopped them demeaning women and persecuting gay people.
In short being outraged at religion in the west has allowed reasonable people to rob religion of about 50% of it's dangerous power in the west.

@NeverSure There are also the Roman records, which is how we know the bible account is wrong and that Herod Antipas was married to his sister in law by his brother Philip, Not herod the tetrarch , that there was no step daughter Salome (Herod the great did have a sister named Salome, which is where the story probably came from) and that Herod executed JTB as a favour to a foreign ally.
There is also the historic records of the Mandaeans who claim John as one of their historic prophets.
No reputable source has ever disputed the Josephus records of John the baptist, only those purported to refer to Jesus of Nazareth.
When I get round to it I will look up the other historical records John and his successors if you are really interested.

The major writing medium was not paper it was Parchment or vellum, made from the inner hide of lambs or goats.
Some theologians have even suggested that Peter's nickname was not taken from the Latin Petrus (stone) was in fact from the Greek πέννα (pronounced Penta) meaning the Pen because Peter was the scribe of the apostles.

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.

Philippians 2:10-11 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
Romans 14:11 It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'"

LenHazell53 replies on Nov 27, 2019:
@Cutiebeauty, @Mollywhop It is a stupid story anyway, that according to Egyptian history never happened, but if even for the sake of argument we agree it did, Pharoah three times told Moses they could leave Egypt "But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart and he would not listen" Exodus 9:12.
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.

LenHazell53 replies on Nov 27, 2019:
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 they did not write the paper to which this article is referring
Bernardo Kastrup did.
*Critics in the American Journal of Psychology argued that the authors (Edward F. Kelly & Adam Crabtree) overvalued and gave special significance to the alleged evidence for paranormal claims in order to substantiate their hypothesis.*
Paul Marshall. Book Review: Irreducible Mind by Edward F. Kelly & Adam Crabtree.
Journal of Consciousness Studies,
Claiming two other debunked new age wafflers to support another debunked new age waffler hardly constitutes legitimization.
Even so I presume that like me you do not base your opinion of the validity of a work upon the reputation of its přečísts but upon the author of the work itself?
Or did you not follow the link to the subject matter and instead settled simply for basing your opinion of the work upon its review especially when said review shares a writing credit with the text in question?
Would you ask EL James to review any of the 50 shades books and expect an unbiased opinion?

The British conservative party have been doing similar things setting up fake "fact check" websites to smear their opponents during debates and doctoring video of Labour politicians to make them appear dumb struck or foolish.

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".
