LenHazell53 comments on Oct 3, 2019:

No one has ever said "a certain first century itinerant rabbi from Nazareth did not exist" in fact we know at least nine of them did one of which was John The Baptist (lots of proof of his life and deeds but none for Jesus of Nazareth, probably because Nazareth was not built till 33 A.D.). What is contested is that that anyone one of them was the Jesus of the gospel stories, who is apparently a cumulative character made up of various stories, the teachings of and the death of all of them. The four canonical gospels agree on all most nothing, contradict one another and place various events at different times and places. When they do agree they vary on details and on philosophical and theological stand points sometimes in direct opposition to one another. If you include the apocryphal gospel accounts theirs are even more contention and the four bible bound stories are in the minority when it comes to agreement on anything where as Thomas, Peter, the gospel of the disciples, Judas, Mary and other all agree with one another to a much greater extent. Therefore, in much the same way as in the legends of Robin Hood or King Arthur, the contention is NOT that A Jesus did not exist but that that THE Jesus of the Gospels is a composite character made up of several other people and the deeds and teachings of many other people, and therefore as an individual did not exist and Certainly, Definitely was not born 1 A.D./C.E. (historically provable as Herod the great was dead by then) and did not die at passover 33 A.D / C.E. on Golgotha as Roman records of their equivalent dating existing from the time show no such execution of anyone of that name.

Wow, and I would wager some good and Christian citizens of the USA will be deploring this behaviour while conveniently ignoring how their own indigenous peoples have been bullied, exploited and abused in just the same way. The Indian Placement Program, AKA the Lamanite Placement Program, operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the United States, operating from 1954 to 1996 springs to mind as a way to help with "equality" by basically kidnapping and displacing "at risk" children nurturing out their culture in childhood and assimilating them in to white society by preferred intermarrying with (non mormon) whites to make the "other" the "same" and thus equal.

Not unusual Jean-François Champollion was a French scholar and the first man to translate hieroglyphics before the discovery of the Rosetta stone. When he began speculating that the Pyramids predated the "Flood of Noah" and that the Pyramid and coffin texts made no such mention of any such flood, he was bullied and persecuted by the Catholic church in to denying his own work, even after the discovery of the Rossetta stone proved him right. This is why this brilliant man is hardly known outside of the field of Egyptology even today.

Opinions please why besides self comfort do you think people believe that praying does anything?

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 30, 2019:

Confirmation bias. If for instance your child comes down with an infection and you pray for their recovery, and they do recover, it is very easy to attribute the recovery to the prayer rather than the medicine given by the doctor, and when this is pointed out to say something like, "The Lord guided the doctor to the right treatment" or "The medicine worked because of the prayer, or was enhanced by it" or "I told my husband the doctor was an unnecessary expense, but you know what he is like" and so on and so forth. For some however it is a way of confirming to one self that god takes a special interest in you personally. For example a Jewish acquaintance of mine (a fellow writer) once boasted to me of how they were still god's chosen people because her aunt had prayed for a new skirt and despite god being so busy with all the gentiles, he took time out to grant her request. The skirt as it happens was a birthday gift from a neighbor who noticed the need and was moved to kindness by nothing more than friendship, but of course this was not the case it was exclusively the work of "haShem"

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 28, 2019:

A Theist philosopher is hampered by the fact that they can only follow a chain of logical thought until the point it comes in to contention with their faith, at which point such thoughts stop and either are abandoned or give way to apologetics. However should the chain of thought NOT come in to conflict with faith then the theist philosopher is potentially as adequate as any other.

This happened at the private "Christian" school where Mike Pence's wife teaches.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 28, 2019:

I had a similar experience as a child. My hair has always been very curly and up until the age of 12 my parents and grandparents would not allow my "Locks" to be cut (no doubt something to do with my Jewish heritage). A consequence of this was I had a huge Afro which was the subject of mockery and abuse by school mates for years who referred to me as "White Golly Wog" "Bleached N word" and other charming epithets. I final got my hair cut after being held down and hacked at in a very similar fashion to this unfortunate young woman and an attempt by one school mate to set it alight. Children are horrible and always abuse that which is perceived to be different, or does not conform to their definition of "normal". The mounting tension should have been spotted and dealt with much sooner in the build up to this attack by the teachers, however it is likely they too thought it was "funny" and turned a blind eye.

Did you know that almighty God is just as strong as a unicorn?

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 28, 2019:

Of course the apologist point out that now most version translate the nine mentions of Unicorns as Wild Bull or Wild Ox. However the word used in the OT in Hebrew is re'em (רְאֵם) or Horn (singular) Horse, though today applied to the Oryx, contemporaneously the name was literal and which was translated in to Greek directly in the NT as Monokeros (μονόκερος ) The one Horn beast Wild Ox in Greek is άγριο βόδι and in Hebrew is שור בר pronounced baw-kawr' So the modern translations are disingenuous to be polite and the KJV much closer to the intended meaning of the word, especially when taken in context. I find the comparison of one mythical being with another to be very apt and this is of course not the only mythical creature in the Babble Satyrs to roister through the pages of "Gud Buck"

In and for standing up to Trump she has been ridiculed, had her private medical records put on public display, had her parents vilified as unfit and been generally abused for speaking the truth and make the establishment "uncomfortable". To her credit this has not yet stopped her and the anger and fear she has inspired in so called adult politicians is palpable. However I fear for her and her family people the like of presidents, Crown Princes and Prime Ministers do not enjoy being shamed and have notoriously long memories.

QUANGO.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 26, 2019:

Quango is not actually an acronym, since the QU is the first two letter of the quasi. The word was adopted from a Vietnamese model and given a British meaning since the Vietnam war was still in close living memory and qu'ản go (phonetic) is simply the Vietnamese word for management or management commitee and is also why the word is HATED in the USA and is often replaced with the less idiosyncratic "Qualgo" ( 'quasi-autonomous local government organisation').

oxymoron--figure of speech that juxtaposes things that are contradictory--such as "a good death"

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 26, 2019:

A good death is a paradox not an Oxymoron, this is because good can only be presupposed to be positive by definition and death is not normally presumed a positive outcome, therefore a good death is paradoxical but perfectly possible, but good is not necessarily in conflict with or opposite to death but can have a relative meaning. "A living death" however is an an oxymoron because the noun and the verb are possibly equivatory, one set of definitions producing an impossible situation that can none the less have a metaphorical or reasonable meaning if the words are given their legitimate alternate definitions. Other Oxymoron examples are Good at being bad A deafening silence Virtual reality Pretty unattractive Civil Unrest Poor little rich girl Other Paradox examples are Fresh Cheese A small elephant A big mouse A head butt You can however have a presumed Oxymoron that can be either. This is basically a joke that relies on presupersision examples are Government organisation Honest politician Vegetarian steaks A modest actor A lead Balloon Microsoft works

kibosh--verb--decisively end or reject something, "put the kibosh on it"

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 26, 2019:

In the North of England putting the kibosh on something is to sabotage it. Since the word Kibsh pronounced Kibosh is Arabic for a Ram (male sheep) it is possible that the trick Jacob played on his father in law in the Bible and the Koran of scarring Rams during tupping to create blemished lambs that he could claim as his own is perhaps the origin of the word.

A String of Suicides Among High Profile Pastors: How Do We Make Sense of It? | Guest Contributor

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 21, 2019:

What a bullshit apologetic article. These guys like all of their ilk are shyster bunko booth charlatans and dream peddlers, they exploit the weak and desperate and steal from the gullible. I would lay money that each of them was about to exposed for some impropriety or another and took the cowards way out, or was murdered by an angry relative with the death made to look like suicide for the preservation of the reputation of the church. These men and it is mostly men have been riding the gravy train for centuries and the world is finally getting wise to them. Good riddance to human fith and scum and the best I can say is that if even one of them took his own life out of a sense of guilt and remorse then that was probably the only decent thing they ever did in their misbegotten waste of a life.

I was raised to believe the catholic church was the great abomination by a Fanatical Salvation army mother who did not even like me associating with Catholic children. Yet exposed me from a young age to pictures of a broken and bloody Christ, graphic representations of Hell and the devil, told me stories of the torturous horrors that befell Satan worshipers honestly believing the night terrors, bad dreams and nervous disposition she was instilling to a four year old would save my soul for her god. The more I read of this sort of thing, catholic and protestant the more I become assured **Christianity is a death cult,** filled with blood worship, ritual cannibalism and monstrous mental abuse and sacred lies (That's before you get to the doctrinal physical abuse and the not so doctrinal sexual abuse.)

In the UK you can simply swear to tell the truth without the need for a magical tome. In India would probably ask for a copy of the Crimson Chronicles, the Necronomicon or the Libre Vermis if they could find one (good luck with that)

James Robison: God Is Using Trump to Usher in 'The Greatest Spiritual Awakening in History' | Right ...

Throughout history the only times that there are "Great Spiritual Awakenings" are in period of time when people are terrified, feel helpless and are so desperate they turn to god and start begging for forgiveness for they know not what. Unfortunately therefore the first sign of a Great Spiritual Awakening is the religitard morons start blaming the sinners, the heretics, the misbelievers and the disbelievers for angering their sky daddy and start culling them in the most horrific ways imaginable to turn away the wrath of their loving god. These fuckwits are so evil, exploitative, manipulative and amoral they make me want to throw up in shame at the barbarism of it all.

Why is it a faux pas to speak ill of the dead?

There was the reverse problem last year in Hyde Park in London. Since it's opening about 200 years ago Hyde Park has had a public area known as Speakers corner where anyone can talk or preach about anything. However over time the corner has spread out and three years back there was a bi-law passed limiting Speaking, preaching, public prayer and proselyting back to the original area, for the comfort and convenience of all. However a local mosque took to publicly praying toward Mecca in the park. A 60 year old local woman (I can't recall her name right now Amy something I think) called the police and demanded they enforce the law. The Police refused and told her she would be arrested for inciting hatred if she did not leave at once, (when pushed the sergeant admitted to her moving them on would possibly have cause a riot or revenge attacks on the park). The Woman did and posted a video of the encounter on You Tube, the next day she was arrested for inciting race hatred, held in custody for a day and then released with a warning. The Mosque were told they could no longer pray in the park UNLESS they asked permission for an exception in future which London Mayor Sadiq Khan was happy to grant. This being an available option why did they not simply do this anyway. Apparently the Salvation army do this twice a year to play brass band music, which in my opinion is even worse being a LOT louder. EDIT I have tried to find the name of the woman but all You Tube Video's have been blocked her account has been suspended etc. So Sorry

Am I reading this right was Rep. Omar dancing on her own? Or is this Bullshit saying she was the only one in the room dancing to celebrate sept 11th? Seriously this cancel/ find something to be offended at in every fucking thing Culture is beyond a joke, and the fact that idiotic ass biscuits are taking it seriously enough to threaten other People's lives is scary. How did we get to a place in the 21st century where people this fucking dumb!

That was pretty common at the C of E church I attended for a while. One Evangelical meeting I went to with a girl I was trying to impress had a Pastor who was fond of declaring that *"When that collection bag comes back I don't want to hear no chink, I want to hear it RUSSELL"* but the worst of all were the Mormons who made you fill in an offertory form, declaring the amount you were giving and signing it to promise it was ten percent of your gross income. Once a year you received a statement of tithing and and if it was not enough (in their opinion) a summons to the bishops office to explain why you were apparently on such a low wage or else were robbing god.

In the mind of Trumpus Maximus these were the good old days, and they can't come back soon enough. Our glorious capitalist system held out till The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 but eventually had to give in to the damn namby pamby socialist and stop killing their workers.

The definition is to flexible, for me personally hate speech only becomes censurable when it begins to deliberately incite violence and that includes when religions and so called Holy books do it too.
