What does everyone think of the Satanic Temple being granted tax exemption as a church recently?

Would you move for love?

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on May 23, 2019:

I have been considering a move to be closer to my daughter who lives in Washington state but the area only has about 2 months when I could be outside without help as I have arthritis. I am hoping that she decides to move back to California soon but we will see. She doesn't really have a lot holding her there right now so it is likely she will decide to move soon anyway. Better for me to be stable here so I can help her if she gets into problems....

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on May 22, 2019:

The polls showing Biden in the lead were exposed as rigged... They were only polling people over 60 in significant numbers and the rest of the voters of lower ages were largely ignored even though they are far more numerous... In addition they rigged it for establishment Democrats as well....

Focus on the kids and stop thinking with your dick. Look at how you feel towards your wife and how she feels about you. If you or her decide you aren't good together move on with your relationships and stay a father to your children. If you try to "stay together for the kids" it will just make things worse in the long run....

What is everyone’s take on ghosts/spirits?

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on May 22, 2019:

It is human nature to attribute things we don't understand to the "supernatural" because we haven't yet found a rational explanation for them. Much of the "ghost evidence" is exactly like Big Foot or UFO "evidence" in other words manufactured. Human beings tend to see patterns even when they have to make them up in their minds and attribute them to ideas familiar to them personally. This is why people see Jesus in a piece of toast. Could there possibly be ghosts?... Perhaps but lacking real evidence I withhold judgement on the matter. If you have ever seen a illusionary lake in the desert you understand the tricks the mind can play on you. if you haven't had that experience try Googling "optical illusions" and look for images. All religious extremist cults have very high percentages of schizophrenics in their congregations who have either aural or visual hallucinations. The religious act of "speaking in tongues" has already been debunked as it is simply the person making strings of phonetic gibberish from their own native language in the same pattern over and over again but a believer actually believes they are speaking in a language only they and their god can understands. To understand the depth of this mental illness I met a person who used to be Presbyterian who told me they had their moment of clarity when his entire church went crazy over a bilingual guest preacher who spoke to them first in English and then after a sentence translated his words into Spanish.... They all believed he was speaking in tongues and that it was "god" making him speak in words they couldn't understand.... He was the only one their who knew Spanish himself because the rest of them were all small town and poorly educated.... The lesson is simple don't draw conclusions from lack of evidence.

You will live a longer and happier life than your brother barring accidents or illness like cancer so who is in fact more successful in your eyes?

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on May 16, 2019:

Christians never use logic they use fairy tales and belief (AKA the "F" word faith). I have been approached by several women who wanted a relationship for the express purpose of converting me to their brand of insanity. My ex-wife told me when I asked her why she even married me "I thought you would change". Very few Christians can accept atheists even as friends percentage wise and many parents would disown a child who married one or came out of the closet.

I've been attending AA meetings for some 8 months now.

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on May 7, 2019:

The problem with AA is that it relies on a "higher power" and is supposedly neutral as to belief systems but they also rely on donated space to operate which means most often those places are churches which force their way into the program in order to use it as a recruitment tool. Christians know that people who are having problems will grasp at any straw that promises them a "cure" even when there is none (as in faith healing). There is no cure for addiction all you can do is accept the fact that you are an addict and stay away for additive substances for life. This is one of the main reasons that AA and NA have such a poor record of success. there is no "recovery" like they promise you there is only your will to stay away from the things and people who destroy your life...

Perhaps atheists need religion to exist to justify their position.

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on May 6, 2019:

If there were no religion the word atheist would never have been coined because there would be no need to categorize non-belief... If there were a single god as some religions claim or even many as poly-theists claim there would be only a single religion and therefore only that single name for everyone.... This shows that Jacques Derrida didn't think his ideas through and was actually a very poor semiotic analyst...

When a moron tells me I should believe the earth is flat or was "created by a magical man wearing rotting goatskins 6,000 years ago that person is going to be ridiculed and deservedly so...

Evangelical Pastor Claims Traditional Gender Roles Can Prevent Sexual Abuse | HuffPost

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on Mar 29, 2019:

Religion enforces so called "traditional roles" but if you look at the cultures of Egypt and Sparta over 2,000 years ago both had substantial equality for women and neither had a problem with women being unsafe especially in the case of Sparta where women were the military reserves and trained the children for combat. In those days if you tried to rape a Spartan woman she would simply cut your balls off and feed them to you... In both the cultures I mention women had the freedom to divorce abusive or bums of husbands, handle their own money, own a business, and even write their own wills, women in both cultures had roles in the government as well and it wasn't until Christianity took over in both countries when women started being abused. Hypatia of Alexandra was a good example of this being a victim of Nitrian monks order by Cyril the Patriarch to rape and murder her as an example to the women of her time...

Andy Puzder: If socialists really wanted to help people they’d be capitalists

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on Mar 29, 2019:

We have never actually had capitalism in the US even when we were just colonies. Capitalism consists of "small companies that compete with each other" without corporate interference. The colonies were founded by corporations. The only way true capitalism can be present is without government or any business larger than a single store/location once they grow larger capitalism ceases to exist and becomes impossible. Larger business entities create a business environment called plutocracy which gains government influence through money and social power. Once that happens you end up in the same position eventually as any fascist or imperialist country with corporations running the show (this includes churches which are corporate entities and largely unregulated). Socialism is not a form of government it is an economic system that can be attached to most forms of government that aren't overly restrictive which is why the wealthy hate it so much because it empowers people instead of leaving them with all of it. The real problem in the US is that socialism isn't understood because the rich and powerful propagandise the issue so much. Unions are a socialist institution where people empower themselves by joining together in order to force the rich to treat them with dignity and respect. Many systems have been called socialist which were communist like the USSR, Cuba under Castro, Pol Pot was communist as well. Nazi Germany was the flip side and was fascist which is far right-wing and was a form of plutocracy along with Spain under Franco and Italy under Mussolini who defined fascism as a religion and said that "Fascism is a marriage between corporations and the state." Bernie Sanders defines socialism correctly as "getting something back for the taxes you pay" and that is all it really is. People banding together to get something back for their hard work and the taxes they pay. Social Security is the most popular program in the country and is socialism which is why the political right-wing wants to destroy it so badly.... Adam Smith who first defined capitalism hated the idea of it and called it cruel and evil...
