I think everyone should read "Sapiens" by Yuval Harari. He explains in easy to understand English how religions developed. Much more interesting than any holy book.

It looks like the Johnson government is imploding before it has begun. Is this a fair assessment?

Moravian comments on Feb 20, 2020:

I don't see any evidence of that.I think Boris's supporters like those of Trump will put up with anything he does so long as there is a perception that Johnny foreigner is kept away. It is interesting that Priti Patel, the home secretary is on record as saying that under the current laws it is unlikely that her parents would have been allowed to immigrate from India as they would probably not meet the criteria.

So it turns out that Giant Clam Fucking could be an actual thing.

Moravian comments on Feb 12, 2020:

Maybe he was having a pee and the giant clam attacked him thinking it was a large worm. Reminds me of one of Billy Connolly's stories. Explaining to his parents how he had love bites on his neck " I fell, I fell on a pair of false teeth someone had thrown away"

Moravian comments on Feb 5, 2020:

I have seen several similar "memes" over the years and they still make me feel a bit sick. When did invading other countries and having some of your young men killed have anything to do with freedom. Remember the heady days of the summer of love when ordinary young people objected to the body bags coming back from south east Asia and demonstrated against the wars. Now that a soldier in a bunker in New Mexico can murder people in Iraq by remote control there much less danger of harm , apart from to the mental health of the drone operator of course.

In Scotland we have a much more sensible tradition :-) and this is taken very seriously. Just after midnight each household has a "first foot". This must be a tall dark man bearing a lump of coal and a bottle of whisky, although now that the burning of coal has been demonised he will probably carry a miniature windmill or solar panel. It is thought that the dark man thing goes back to the times of the Viking invasions when a large fair man appearing at your door probably meant that he would burn your house and steal your womenfolk.

The Genesis story is one of many creation myths in the world and can be interpreted in several ways. When mankind had to give up the hunter gatherer lifestyle and became agriculturalists life was hard and distant memories of the old easier lifestyle lingered on ( the garden of Eden). There had to be a reason for leaving this lifestyle. I don't believe these stories were meant to be taken literally.
