He makes great sense given the Ancient Egyptian records mention numerous events when other peoples would come to Egypt in times of drought and disasters because of Egypt's great agricultural output and reserves of grain, etc. And under the Egyptian Rule ( Law) of Ma-at it was considered as an affront to Universal Harmony to refuse aid to anyone in need.

LOL, I used to sit in back seat of the car and sing that song every time we went on the seemingly endless road journeys to some boring, unexciting, dismal place for the Xmas holidays when I was a kid. Plus another one I'd add into the mix was 'Cool, Clear Water' since we'd be traveling in the daytime heat of summer in a car where the only air conditioning back in the 50's and 60's was an open window and if one dared open one my mother would moan non-stop that it was 'messing up her hair.' Though I never even sang anything like those songs when my Dad and I were heading off on a Fishing Trip because I knew that there were 2 roadside hotels along the way and the car seemed to have an in-built programme that required it to stop and "cool the engine" at each one...LOL.

Bible stories may not be factual - but they are nonetheless true

Triphid comments on Apr 8, 2020:

For something to 'Factual' then logically it must ALSO be true for Truth and Fact go hand in hand do they not? For example, the earth under our feet IS made up of rock, dirt, minerals, molecules of air, water, decaying animal and vegetable matter, etc, etc, - FACT and 100% Truth. The sky that surrounds is made up of gases, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, etc, etc, - Fact and Truth. An Elephant IS a Mammal, A Human is a Mammal, - Fact and Truth, Mammals, like all other living things live and die, after they die the body begins to rot and decay, -Fact and Truth, ALL of these and much much besides have Proven, Tried and Tested Empirical Evidence in support of them, is that not so? Biblical stories have NEVER had ANY Tried, Tested and Proven Empirical Evidence put forward in their favour or support, a 100% Truth and Fact. Ergo, Bible Stories are neither Factual or True since they have never been tried, tested and proven.

When did you first see who your child is as a person?

Triphid comments on Apr 8, 2020:

I honestly think my daughter, Lorrae, showed her personality almost from her first breath. She was a very long baby at birth and every time they put her into one those cribs for new-borns her head would touch the top end and feet would touch the bottom, being wrapped tight as 'little' bundle, like hospitals do,did NOT suit her at all, she'd cry, squirm, wriggle and not settle down until they realised that she needed 'space to move,' as soon as they moved her into a crib for babies over 6 months of age, she settled down and went to sleep. From then on her strong willed personality just kept on exerting itself and getting strong, by 12 months she had by-passed trying to crawl and decided that rolling across floors was much easier and probably more fun, once she discovered her legs and feet were for standing up on all she needed was our pet Whippet to act as a support so she could pull herself up, use him as a walking frame and start walking where ever it suited her. By the time Lorrae was about 2 &1/2 years old her grasp of language and spelling was almost unbelievable as was her ability to count, in order, up to 15, open doors on cupboards and even to turn the television on or off, that is when her 'person' truly showed itself to everyone, I'd getting swamped with hugs and kisses, demands to be where ever I was and inundated with question after question as to what I was doing,etc. From there onwards she became a truly curious person wanting to know about everything and anything, watching children's television programmes was not in her interests at all, she preferred to watch anything that was well beyond her age group and do things with me that would involve anything that meant getting covered in dirt, grease, oil or anything else just so long as she was doing alongside me. Yes, she would wear dresses BUT only on special and certain occasions, the rest of the time it was cut down overalls, shorts and either t-shirts or singlets with boots made for boys and not girly shoes as she called them.

Here’s my conundrum about Easter and Passover.

Triphid comments on Apr 8, 2020:

Okay, a question here for @ abyers1970 and who so ever else wishes to offer up a reply/response. @abyers1970 mentions this mythical Jesus, so here is my question, Jesus was, supposedly, born to be sacrificed to God, who in all rationality and logic was his 'father' and himself as well, correct? Ergo, Jesus is God incarnate, therefore being that God is Eternal and indestructible, then Jesus too must be Eternal and Indestructible since he IS God incarnate, Correct? So, being Eternal and Incarnate, the sacrifice of Jesus was/is a moot point since being Eternal and Indestructible Jesus could NOT die or be destroyed by sacrifice since he knew all along that he would be resurrected, i.e. brought back to life. Ergo, this so-called self sacrifice was little more than a lie wrapped in worthless act of self-serving aggrandizement, was it not?

It's quite odd that they added coughing into the symptoms, especially considering that their are innumerable people out there that have such things as a cough due to NOT being infected but, as in my case for example, having been swamped in a cloud of Anhydrous Ammonia from trying to rescue a work-mate when the rail tankers Pressure Safety Valve malfunctioned and well 10,000 litres escaped. Not only did it cause permanent scarring on our lungs and airways BUT it also resulted in a permanent cough and a need to sneeze since the scars in the nasal passage regularly get irritated, blocked and our noses are prone to dribble a clear liquid with annoying regularity.

Well going on how this God of ScumMO has been going with his Catholic Followers in Italy and Spain, i,ho, he does give a rats Arse so we are all SANFU now since ScumMO has committed us to his Invisible, Imaginary Sky Daddy. But, did anyone notice his main 'mention' was to Pray for the Politicians first?

So much for " Do unto others as you would them do unto you." Yet another case of discrimination courtesy of the Religiotards.

Triphid comments on Mar 31, 2020:

Imho, we should all learn to respect the wishes of the dying. I can still clearly remember when my Dad was dying in hospital and some Preacher wanted to pray over him. Though he was very weak, Dad managed to haul himself up off of the pillows and say out very loudly, " Don't bloody bother, you blood-sucking bastard, where I'm going soon is the same place you are, the grave in a box to rot away and nowhere else."

LOL, well it does make some kind of sense given the fact that Americans elected Tronald Dump as President.

Will common sense prevail after this crisis is over especially given the climate crisis?

Triphid comments on Mar 30, 2020:

I doubt it but another part of me holds out a modicum of hope that it just might. But given that 'common sense' isn't as common as we like to think, sadly we'd have more chance, imho, of finding fossilised Elephant turds on the Moon.

No matter how much Catholicism gilds the Lily about the infamous Inquisitions basically they were, to put in short and reasonable terms, An declaration of " either you join us in Catholicism or become the main guest and course at a 'stake' bar-be-que." As well as an excuse for vindictive neighbours to 'Dob in any one they had even the minor beef with.'

Most definitely deserving of the BIGGEST Cheer of Thanks anyone can offer up. I've done many a 12 hour shift as a nurse and often even been on duty for anywhere from 14 to 24 hours non-stop, my longest ever was when we had an Underground Mining Collapse here in Broken Hill with 4 major casualties, ( crushed limbs, ribs, etc,) and 7 casualties with moderately dangerous injures, the O.R. was going non-stop for 36 hours straight, we doing 12 hours in Theatre and 4 hours in the hallways trying to rest or catch a quick nap as the next Theatre Crew took over. 11 casualties went through the O.R., 10 survived after weeks of intensive treatment on the Wards, one sadly, died on the table from a ruptured Spleen, a torn Aorta and a crushed Pancreas.

Triphid comments on Mar 27, 2020:

LOL, I got to the bit where " God is NOT a Fornicator, Adulterer, etc, etc, and then remembered where the bible tells how God impregnated a Hebrew woman with his child. So technically that is the sins and crimes of Lust, coveting, Inciting to commit Rape by Proxy, Seduction by Proxy, Fornication by Proxy, being an Absentee Father, breaching the Commandments ( his OWN Commandments btw), De-flowering a Virgin against her will, etc, etc. Geez, any jury in its right mind would find the Accused Guilty on all counts and probably recommend a Life sentence.

If any of our agnostic friends happens to be experiencing a crisis, let me know.

Was talking on line to a very good and trusted friend last evening who works at the C.S.L. ( Commonwealth Serum Laboratories) in Australia and she recommends using a spray called " Glen 20" (which is available here to spray both around the home on yourself and clothing when you need to venture out for groceries, etc. It IS a strong disinfectant and they've tried and tested in the Labs.

How's everyone doing?

Still alive and kicking way out here in the Aussie outback, I hope everyone else is doing well also.
