Yes, there is a war between science and religion

Triphid comments on Dec 14, 2020:

That may be so in the minds of the Faithfools BUT we, the Atheists, Agnostics, etc, etc, did NOT start this imaginary 'War,' the advent of Christianity, and in some part Islam as well, started the whole thing. The Sciences, Logic, Reasoning and the like are, imo, Polar Opposites to Religions and Religious Beliefs. Religion not ONLY expects blind obedience, blind Faith, unwavering loyalty, etc, etc, from its followers but, imo, also demands it to some extent be it large or small. Whereas, imo, the Sciences, etc, say " Here it is, we can prove it be correct, take it or leave it." As the free-thinkers we Atheists etc, think/trust that we are, we do NOT adhere to nor have unwavering Faith and Belief in all things Scientific, etc, etc, instead we merely trust in them to either be correct or possibly correct UNTIL proven to be so. But I have never heard of this "Crew of Scientists" being either "responsible for our existence" nor "having a ball watching us."

Triphid comments on Dec 28, 2020:

Unfortunately my Friend, you can pick your friends but can never pick your family, a sad but ever so true fact of life. Often the very best friend anyone can really have is themselves but can also, at times, be their own worst enemy as well, learning to come to grips with yourself goes a very long way towards being at peace with yourself and that peace, when it is all boiled down, is the peace that truly matters. Measure not what value you bring to life, instead measure what value you bring to your OWN life, that is the important part of living. Try to remember that Good friends are like Diamonds, rich, rare and to cherished, occasional friends are like the fallen leaves, they are found everywhere, hence, it is better to but a few Good friends than a host of 'occasional ones'. Always the opinions of one will often cause either division or strife with others but that is normal for IF we ALL were to think alike life would be boring to the extreme would it not? Friend, you ARE an Individual,there is NONE other like you anywhere else, be glad to be who are you are, let yourself NOT be judged by others, judge yourself as yourself but do NOT judge yourself harshly as others will always do for ONLY you can truly know yourself. You ARE a child of the Universe, you, like the trees and the Stars, have a RIGHT to be here so enjoy that right and the life no matter what troubles and tribulations, every Dawning is a New Day, a doorway to an undiscovered future, stand not a the window looking in, step boldly across the threshold instead and march forward into tomorrow embracing it with open arms.

Why Scientists Are Very Worried About The Variant From Brazil [npr.org]

Triphid comments on Feb 1, 2021:

Sad and Unfortunate but none-the-less it should have been expected and pre-planned for it to occur. Viruses such C-19 etc, first attach themselves to a healthy cell, inject themselves in to that cell then absorb the genetic material of the new host cell to replicate. That cellular Genetic material is not only absorbed but added to the genetic make-up of the virus which allows the virus to mutate, i.e. evolve, when it finds what is needed is useful for the process. Just as Medicine LIKES to label the various forms of cancer under a single banner, i.e. Breast cancer for example, EACH is Genetically different according to each patient in fact and needs to treated as such for treatments to actually work 100% of the time. However, imo, most Pharmaceutical Labs ONLY seem to seek out the "Quick Fix solutions" first and foremost rather than setting their sights on the goal of eradication from the word go. Imo, it would NOT be beyond the realms and Limits of Reality to say that microbes, viruses included, have been around and on this planet since well before life found out how to leave the water and start inhabiting the land as well. And now, in humans they have found the PERFECT Host Environment to allow them to very rapidly 'evolve' quickly where once it would have taken them millions of years to do so. We humans ravage the eco-systems every single day thinking we can do it with absolute impunity, but are we merely releasing more and more of these microscopic killers who may have been just waiting for us to do exactly that and give them chance they've been wanting for millions of years?

Hence, as we've seen in history ever so many times, God is both the Escape Clause for the Losers and the Celebratory Excuse for the Winners, i.e. IF one side wins outright then it was because God willed it so, the Loser has an escape clause, or so they think, because they can simply believe that God was NOT impressed enough with their efforts and withdrew his support from them. The Christian God/Jesus has always been the Rallying Cry for warfare, genocide, etc, etc, just Allah is the Rallying Cry for the Muslim Radicals, etc,etc.

You may well be depressed, after all it creeps up on you like a Thief in the night, so to speak, and for no apparent reason also. When mine was diagnosed back in 2001, as a Psychologist I put it down to the recent loss of my daughter, Lorrae, until I consulted another Psychologist and we began discussing the things that had happened in my earlier life. It was then that the hammer truly hit, so to speak, and I realized ( as did the other Psychologist as well) that the 'load' I had carried from past Abuses, etc, had been shoved into the darker recesses of my mind while I pushed ahead to build a life for my daughter and myself. Thus, with that 'drive' gone after losing Lorrae those 'loads' gained a free reign once again and then came the depression, etc. with them, the same depressive thoughts, etc, that I had striven to ignore for so long. At least now, with treatment from a maintenance dose of Antidepressants, I no longer have 'dark thoughts, nightmares and the like and can actually enjoy the things that make my days worthwhile. So m8, PLEASE get yourself checked, it is NOT impossible to be depressed without really knowing it or even why it is occurring.

FFS, that looks very much like a 9mm if that's the gun used.

The parents, in my honest opinion, should be charged with willful Negligence, accessories to Murder by Negligence and Lack of Forethought and Security. I have a 7.69mm German Mauser rifle here, locked away in a 3/4" thick Steel safe with a locking system that requires 2 separate combinations to open it, the ammunition is locked away separately elsewhere as is the Bolt, both in separate locations in the house. What, in the name of All Fuck, is wrong with Americans and their endless desire to have, keep and carry guns?

Desperation is the Mother of Invention. What's your desperate invention?

Triphid comments on Jul 18, 2020:

Well, I'd say that my 2 best 'desparate 'inventions' would be my home-made, sit down to use post-hole borer, created from a piece of pipe about 90cms in diameter and about a half a metre long with teeth cut into it at one end and a bar welded across the top with a a big nut and bolt through the bar and welded solidly into place so to attach a racket wrench to turn the whole contraption. My other 'sit on a crate to use' device is a tool for digging narrow, not too deep trenches, made by cutting and old square-mouthed shovel along the sides, trimming the handle down to a suitable length and adding a handle cover made from a bicycle tube. My Dad always taught that, " If there is something you need and you can't afford to buy it, hire it or even borrow it, look around what at you have available, sit down, think it through and then make it yourself.

Triphid comments on Jul 21, 2020:

Yes it does work to some extent since drying laundry on a clothes line in sunlight does kill off most bacteria and viruses. Having low output UVC lights was tried and tested at the Broken Hill and District Hospital in 1972 - 1974 and was found to be most effective, it was continued in use until some 'bright spark' from a University decided to deem that is was 'Risk to the Public' simply because, as it was later found, that, 1) he had a slight case of a reaction, visually speaking, to staring at 'Black Lights in Discos, etc, and, 2) that, as was later discovered btw, that his family had shares in a very large producer of Antiseptic Solutions, etc, etc. so the Government Health Department Foo-Fooed the whole idea and within a matter of a few weeks the whole local Hospital was battling a massive outbreak of Pseudomonus Pycenias, a very virulent form of bacteria that invades wounds and literally eats away the living flesh. I still use a UVC low-level output bulb ( aka Black Light) in my hallway at home as a first line response to bacteria, etc, as well as shunning Clothes Dryers in favour of drying my laundry the natural way using the UV light from the sun to sterilise my clothing, etc. I'd recommend Black Light to anyone in times like these as well as drying your laundry in the sunlight since Dryers do NOT remove/destroy bacteria, etc, etc.

Why We Should Not Fear Death [youtube.]

Triphid comments on Jul 31, 2020:

As was once positted by a learned Scientist, " Nothing in this Universe/Nature is EVER Lost or Destroyed it IS merely transformed into something different over time." We are merely the atoms and molecules that came from the Universe/ Nature, combined to form chemical compounds then into Amino Acids which then became R.N.A. and D.N.A. to later evolve into living creatures, when our corporeal carasses die and rot away those same atoms, etc, etc, will return into the surrounds of the planet and the Universe and continue on and on. Fear not Death for Death is just another phase in the natural recycling of the Universe.

Well, not complaining but it is cold and wet, the cold we have to put up with since it is winter, the wet we welcome since we've been in Drought conditions for many years. Checked my rain gauge this morning to find it had registered for the first time in many years something more than just a mere 5-10mms, a whole, wonderful 32mms ( about 1.25" in the old money.)

So please feel most welcome here in our little asylum for you ARE among friends but, unfortunately, we do have the odd curmudgeon amongst us from time to time and the occasional Troll slips through under the Radar now and then. None-the-less this IS the world of Reality and Logical thinking, it IS a truly wonderful world filled with the brilliance of Reasoning where the shadows of Religion, Superstition and Mysticism fear to tread. So enjoy being one of us, learn from us and remember that true knowledge is NO burden what-so-ever to bear.

Okay, so Adultery is forgivable IF a Priest, etc, does it. So do they see the actions of Paedophile Priests as being forgivable also? Was the adulterous act by which God impregnated Mary also forgivable as well and how about Abraham had it off with his slave-woman and not his wife?

Triphid comments on Aug 17, 2020:

" Was brain dead for 6 days," medically speaking, once the brain becomes starved of oxygen it begins dying immediately and it cannot regenerate itself unlike the liver, ergo, it is 100% Kaput. When the brain and body are so badly damaged and oxygen deprivation sets in the brain begins to mis-fire creating entirely false images, etc, etc, thus giving the false impression/s of N.D.E. Without a regular oxygen supply to it the brain will begin to die within a period of approx. 8-10 minutes and from there there usually is NO coming back. The 'white light at the end of the tunnel' IS just as much a myth as is God, Jesus, Heaven or Hell.

Trumpeting loudly with thunderous laughter, its ears flapping crazily and its whole great body shaking madly, Adam confronts the elephant and asks, " Okay, so now you've had a good laugh would you mind telling me what's so funny?" The elephant replies, " Well I don't know about all the other animals BUT it makes me laugh to think of just how you're going to be able to gather enough grass to feed yourself with such puny little trunk as that hanging from a place so far away from your mouth."

" Religious Rights, Religious Freedoms," we hear it almost screamed out day after day non-stop BUT what about the Rights and Freedoms due to everyone else or are they of little or no concern since they do NOT fit neatly into the Faithfool Folds? Why is it that the 'religious' can discriminate freely and the rest of society can not? Are we, the non-believers, not being subjected to discrimination? Are we, the non-believers, the LGBT communities, those hoping and planning for 'inter-racial' marriages, etc, etc, just lesser humans to those Faithfools and thus deserve to be discriminated against and persecuted so? Where, exactly, do these Anti-discrimination Laws draw the line on WHO may or may NOT be discriminated against?

I went shopping today (Sunday)! To several places.

Triphid comments on Sep 6, 2020:

Back in the days when religion held 'sway' here in Australia I remember there being what was colloquially known as the "6 o'clock Swill" at hotels where the patrons where required by Law to cease drinking at 6 pm sharp because of a similar reason. Plus ALL Hotels and Clubs where closed tight shut on Sunday mornings everywhere within the town/city limits UNTIL after 1.00pm on Sundays. Many a local family would have the usual 'Sunday Lunch' then get in to the family car and head out for a 'Sunday Drive' to the nearest hotel that was well and truly outside the town/city limits. The kids would get a 'Pub Raspberry' or 'Pub Squash' to drink and a packet of potato chips and the parents would all sit back and enjoy a beer or two. Happily, for now at least, things here have changed for the better and Pubs and Clubs are open on Sundays. There used to be a similar thing with Supermarkets here as well but now that too has gone by the wayside.

A long read but worth the time.

So where do you get your morality from if you’re an atheist?

Triphid comments on Sep 30, 2020:

"Where do you get your morals from if you have no god," WELL if any person does NOT know the answer to that question I'd have to posit that, a) they've spent their entire life living in a bubble or under some rock, or, b) been so indoctrinated into religion and religious beliefs that they have graduated to the top of the list for the Darwin Awards. Geez Louise, all one needs do is to read the 'holey babble' from cover to cover to see that morality DEFINITELY does NOT come from religion nor the Invisible, Imaginary Sky Daddy Gawd.

Has anyone ever homemade a conduit bender? What did you use to fashion it? Was it effective?

Triphid comments on Oct 4, 2020:

Depends mostly on the material the conduit is made of, if it is plastic you can possibly bend it to the shape desired by first putting a decent amount of dry sand inside the conduit then sealing both ends with a cork, put the conduit into boiling water until the area that you want to bend softens and gently bend around a solid piece of metal piping with same diameter as you want the bend to take on. The sand usually stops the conduit from 'pinching' in on itself as you bend, but best to practice on scrap pieces until you've got it down pat first though.

As someone who grew up with physically and mentally abusive parents this always hurts to read.

Triphid comments on Oct 4, 2020:

I know where you are coming from, I had a very nasty abusive, on ALL counts btw, 'mother' ( if anyone in their right mind could her that), I still bear the scars, physical and emotional, from her, BUT I also had a truly wonderful Dad. I swore that I'd NEVER grow up to be anything like that utter Bitch but would strive to be like my Dad instead and hopefully I have thus far succeeded in doing so. I was literally FORCED to attend Sunday Schools, I use the plural here because I was actually EXPELLED from EVERY Sunday School, Primary and Secondary School Scripture Classes as well, because I DARED to ask questions or try to put across my thoughts, etc. No-one, absolutely NO-ONE deserves to have abusive parents, siblings, partners, etc, etc, but unfortunately some Abusers are so truly well disguised as wolves in sheep's clothing that they easily slip through our natural defense barriers. Stand tall, walk proud, be yourself for YOU are a survivor and resolve to yourself NEVER to allow yourself to repeat the errors, etc, of the past.

More proof that there did not need to be a god involved to create life.

Triphid comments on Oct 13, 2020:

I, for one, agree with him. Life as we know it on this planet arose and evolved as the end result of a purely, cosmic type accident, NO God, no plan, just a happening where, things occurred, by pure chance, at the right time, right place, etc, etc, and the right elements as well. Who knows, the whole thing COULD have a full-on screw-up, kind of like trying make a cake and NOT putting in the right ingredients.
