Assuming an intelligent force (not God necessarily) created the Universe, is it still there?

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 26, 2019:

If it is, it may as well not be for all good it does. It obviously could not care less about the universe as a whole and about tiny life forms like us especially, we are perhaps, given that it does exist, just some form of novelty night light, that if we are lucky it will not tread on, kick or break by accident one morning. I don't think there is one personally, but if there is it is completely irrelevant, other than to serve as an inspiration for arseholes who want a pointless excuse to go to war and extort people.

Some people are simply self destructive, self loathing or are of the mentality that "If I had to suffer this why should others be spared it." If this seems improbable bare in mind that One of the most horrific things in the study of modern history was that there was a regiment of the German SS during World War 2 made up Jewish descended people who had one or more Hebrew grandparents and who would therefore of gone to the camps by law, yet who as card carrying Nazis were spared this in order to persecute and execute their own families and those like them.

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 26, 2019:

Of course the problem is that any collapsing phase space probabillity still only leaves you with one final outcome that is observable and memorable and a whole host of unresolved realities that have not come to pass because they were not or could not be measured and then can not be proven to have been viable, simply existing only in potentia. We are therefore left with the aim of preselecting a desirable outcome and bringing it about by observing and measuring, which is for the greater part what we do anyway. We are of course then faced with the problem that on a greater scale there is not simply one observer, there are literally billions all exerting an influence and producing a cumulative result. The experiment can only present the possibility of a microcosmic and localised result dependent on the will of the eponymous "friend". In finality we are left where we started with the idea that the world is what we make of it and the old maxim that "Creation is an act of sheer will”

Woman sues Christian school over same-sex marriage expulsion

Romans 1:26-27 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

There is a movie called The Ghoul starring Peter Cushing, that came out in 1975.

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 24, 2019:

The Ghoul is a magnificent film, made by Tigron pictures and featuring the first on screen appearance of the late John Hurt and Don Henderson. In the film as you say Cushing as the ex-Missionary has lost his faith because his son who died in India could not be saved by god or science, but was resurrected by Kali worshipers with the need to feed on human flesh to stay alive. Cushing as the reverend Doctor Lawrence, is more traumatized by the fact Hinduism seems more true and powerful than Christianity than he is by his son's condition, thus leaving his son in the care of his Hindu Nanny of twenty years.

Very interesting article about the usage and origin of thee and thou and pronouns. [nytimes.com]

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 18, 2019:

Mostly completely wrong, thee and thou became Ye and You owing to the fact that printers (when printing was invented) used Y in place of the old letter thorn lowercase þ uppercase Þ, pronounced (Th) because they had only 26 letters to select from. Quakers still tended to use older and non mechanically produced bibles, where such changes had not been made. This lead to confusion and the gradual replacement of Thou with You and Thee being confused with "the" leaving us with the non existent word Ye being used only by people trying to appear to be of a higher station. Similarly the long s (ſ) pronounced ess being replaced in print with the ornate form of the capital F leading to many amusing misunderstandings, though in time this gave way at the insistence of the church to the double ss, since people misunderstanding were calling nuns Fister and asking for "sucker" in the new pronunciation.

How is intelligence measured?

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 17, 2019:

First of all intelligence has to be defined. Intelligence is not knowledge, you can have a wealth of knowledge and still be completely idiotic in your behavior Intelligence is not aptitude, savants can be completely incapable in all but one aspect of life in in that display genius levels of aptitude. Intelligence is not "common sense" or cleverness to terms as equally undefinable as intelligence itself. Personally I define intelligence as *the high functioning ability of the brain to take in, absorb, retain and combine knowledge for appropriate use at an appropriate time in order to create by application new knowledge without further exterior tuition or guidance.* That is to say problem solving ability Therefore the only true measure of a person's intelligence is by their success rate in achieving stated objectives. Eg. The inventor is judged by his inventions that succeed in their intended purpose as to his or her intelligence. The chef who creates a new taste experience and improves the nutritional value of food is intelligent. The scientist who combines known mathematics with other seemingly unrelated facts to create an explanation for an as yet unsolved mystery in the natural world by noticing evidential patterns in both for the first time, has performed an act of intelligence.

Osmia is the Greek word for the sense of smell, the condition of Anosmia is the condition of having no sense of smell, and became one of those words were the antonym survived while the root word was lost. In time the English prefix "an" (none) was mistaken for the Greek "a" (without) and is was assumed incorrectly that "Nosmia" was a word meaning the function of the nose a similarity that was pure coincidence (nose comes from the proto-european Nas) Therefore we have the compressed hybrid word Noisome meaning offensive to the nose by the combining of Osmia (Greek smell) and odio (Latin Hateful which is also the root word of Odious and Annoying as stated above)

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 13, 2019:

In the widely used Douay-Rheims and KJV both dating for at least two to four hundred years past the words Man and Mankind are used in the translations. Vayikra 20:13 in the Torah which is the equivalent verse uses the Hebrew words Ish and zachar, the closest translation in modern English is "a guy" and "a gentleman" respectively (common word for a male and formal word for a male). Vayikra 20:13 If an ish also lie with zachar, as he lieth with an isha, both of them have committed to’evah; they shall surely be put to death; their dahm shall be upon them. It is therefore to me at least fairly certain this always refered to homosexuality, but not between the patricians and the proles. So some Septuagint translations in to Greek may have thought it more prudent to admonish against pedophilia rather than homosexuality by translating Zachar as αρσενοκοίτες which does actually mean male, but young man rather than gentleman. It certainly does not mean boy child as is pushed in this article as that would be Agori. Luther however may well have decided to make the translation in to knabenschander which does indeed mean shamer of boys IF you split the word in to knaben and schänder however if you leave it as one word it means sodomite.

I tend to think the speaker is either being unduly modest about their own achievements or simply is anthropomorphising pure chance and blind luck by crediting a deity. Asking about suffering children I am afraid tends to bring forth disgusting and disturbing answers guaranteed only to lower or destroy your opinion of the person you are listening to.

If god is willing to condemn the devil what makes people think god wouldn't do it to them?

***If*** the Christian god did exist, he would be an utter monster, and only monstrous people would serve him, her or it.

If humans are allowed to repent then why can't Lucifer?

If you go by semitic mythology "Lucifer" as Christians insist on referring to the archangel Samael, was exactly that an angel. God apparently created three races of beings The Djinn first who where creatures of dust, they had no free will but did have magic, they immediately abused it and so were cast out of heaven in to the pit of fire, secondly the angels who were made from fire, they had no freewill and no magic but who were brave and strong, however they were also willful and some gained freewill by becoming jealous and envious when god created humans from water and air and was so delighted by them that he gave them the earth to live on. The Angels were ordered to serve and protect the humans and Samael saw this as a slight against his people since they the angels were stronger, more beautiful and immortal, why did god love the humans more? When god warned him to know his place, Samael lead a rebellion of one third of the angels against god, but were defeated by the Angel Michael. Samael and his hoard were thrown out of heaven and in to the pit, where they drove out the Djinn and made the pit of fire their own. In a rage god decreed that Samael would become the first Satan and would be allowed to try and tempt man to sin and away from god, if they succeeded in this the spirits of such men were theirs to consume, however they could not kill people this was known as the rule of gold. The now homeless Djinn could go to earth but could not use magic against man, but if trapped by men the Djinn must obey them as slaves and must serve the spirits of men as pets. Though the Djinn too were subject to the golden rule, if men were greedy and asked too much of the Djinn they were allowed to deceive humans in to destroying themselves. For example if a man asked for a mountain of gold, the Djinn could give it to him all at once in one big nugget that might crush him to death. If a man asked for his pain to stop the Djinn could turn him to stone. Man alone can repent, because he or she has freewill by nature and must earn eternal life. The Djinn and the Angels were blessed with eternal life and paradise, so had no motivation other than greed and sin to desire freewill and so can never repent and never be forgiven for going against their nature

All you need to publish a book these days it seems is a marketable name and a third rate ghost writer who will work for free as an intern.
