Many colleges have Palestinians or other Arab students but Muslim organizations have sponsored clubs and groups that can be mobilized to stage demonstrations. They often include mob tactics and intimidation of business owners. Like the Christian Nationalists (Fascists), American democracy takes last place compared to the lust for power, the ability to intimidate others, and imposing their primitive values into law. Both Christians and Islamists believe that their beliefs are divine and therefore supersede modern values that evolved out of tolerance and the acceptance of diversity. Both groups seek to undo every ounce of progress made in the last 100 years, or go back centuries further.

racocn8 comments on Jan 4, 2024:

The lying never stops. Next follows the delusion and derangement. It is just the opposite of what Miller says. First, the incessant dishonesty meshes perfectly with accepting bribes from lobbyists and thus discrediting the government as a whole. The really nut-job side of it is where she reasons that Christians behave honorably because they fear hell and final judgment. If that were true, why are so many Christians corrupt? And the answer is, by being Christians, they imagine that ALL will be forgiven. They ACTUALLY believe they have a blank check to sin all they want, and they do just that. Throw in the racism, bigotry, cruelty, psychopathy and malicious ignorance and you get the standard Christian. The hypocrisy reeks. Sucks to be them.

Ideally, competent and even talented people would seek office for the noble cause of improving everyone's life. However, the rules laid out in the Constitution are badly dated. Very little language addresses corruption. After 200 years, the crooks and the wealthy know how to trick the system. One of those tricks puts incompetent but loyal people in office. Once upon a time the electoral college was charged with ensuring that lunatics could not gain power. 2016 showed how a full-blown malignant narcissist psychopath could be elected. One criminal scandal after another, and then Covid. Trump was so bent on grifting that a million people would die, and still, those most affected remain hypnotized. The US is stuck with a failed charter, so from here on, its a train-wreck in slow motion. The society doesn't have the horsepower nor the will to fix its many problems, number one being a massive share of the population being profoundly deluded and delusional on account of their religious beliefs. The runner up is how, somehow, the intelligence services won't inform the population on how Russia (primarily) has engaged in a campaign of brainwashing with Fox, the GOP, SCOTUS and many others, working for Putin in exchange for rubles.

Oh, History Channel.

Various Congresspersons appear to be sufficiently pissed off at being stonewalled by the MIC that they will continue to press for transparency.

The story went that the money was to have gone towards providing security at Bigelow after the 'materials' were transferred from Lockheed. Lockheed balked at giving it up, so the papers were commissioned to spend the money.

Isis has its own women and children too, though they are fond of raping and kidnapping women too. Iran planned and owns this war (far more than Biden).

Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard! Johnny, age 6, attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horses' legs, rump and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, "Pop, why are you doing that?" "Because I'm thinking of buying these horses," his father replied. Johnny looked worried and said, "Then I think we'd better hurry home right away!" "Why?" his father asked. "Because the UPS man stopped by yesterday, and I think he wants to buy Mom!" The Colonel inspected the soldiers in their barracks. He noticed a female horse. Colonel: "What’s that horse for?" Soldier: "Sir, our men use her if they feel an urge to have sex". Colonel: "Ah, ok". One night, the Colonel feels an urge to have sex, so the soldier brings the female horse to his tent. When the Colonel is done with the female horse, he notices the soldier smiling outside his tent. Colonel: "It’s so difficult! How do you guys do it?" Soldier: "Sir, we ride the horse to the nearby village where the girls live". My wife yelled from the bathroom asking: “Do you ever get a shooting pain across your body like someone has a got a voodoo doll of you and they’re stabbing it? I replied “No.” She then yelled: “How about now?” A woman comes home shouting, “Honey, pack your bags! I won the lottery!” The husband exclaims, “Wow!, That’s great!

The rule of law, including the Constitution, is for everyone else, not for me and not for my party. They want the voters to decide, and if they don't like what the voters decide, they want to be ABLE to stage a coup that puts them in anyway. Translation: Heads I win and tails you lose. Power is everything. Fuck Democracy and Fuck the Constitution. The Evangelicals supporting Trump are the fascists and they have rejected the concept of the US. It was always so. We knew that their loyalty to their bullshit religion took priority over the country, but it was a whisper. Now they're shouting it from the rooftops. The enemy is inside the gate and it ain't immigrants.

Let's hate religion together

racocn8 comments on Dec 21, 2023:

Most religions have gone extinct. Many of those that exist today have become endangered, and could very well die out soon. If Humanity falters, it will be because the replacements (politics & social media) have no more merit than the old conventional religions. Biology creeps ever closer to grasping a few of the underpinnings of religious thought and behavior. With that understanding, the potential to stop religious insanity gleams as a distant hopeful light. Perhaps, we'll stumble across the solution by accident as the research continues, just as we've found how hallucinogens can stop addictive behavior. Knowing the severity of the disease, we should commit ourselves to that goal.

From a chapter I wrote last year... Mandrake: Mandragora officinarum (Solanaceae) grows as a stemless herb with a fleshy root that often bifurcates. The top of the plant develops ovate leaves in a basal rosette. The plant is found in the Mediterranean regions of Europe and Africa and in west Asia. The root contains the active drugs, which have been used in Wiccan rituals and herbal applications. Historians believe witches using preparations gave rise to stories of flying. However, subjects can suffer poisoning akin to atropine poisoning. The right dose can cause the subject to slip into unconsciousness and thus, found use when anesthesia was needed for surgery. The Old Testament may refer to mandrake in Genesis 30:14–16 and Song of Songs 7:12–13. People used hallucinogens for spiritual development, for the experience, or for medical applications (aiding childbirth or anesthesia). These midwives often paid the ultimate price when they were then accused of witchcraft.

But focusing on THC, one can nearly always recover from the effects of THC the next morning. The Catholic Church's teachings pervert natural ethical instincts in the worst ways. Concerted effort is needed to recover from this pathological confusion.

Much of 'culture' does not make sense.

I never realized it, but when Trump suggested Hispanics crossing the border were rapists and drug dealers, that was projection too.

There are a few atheists that make the assertion that there is no god. The standard reply to such a statement is that you can't prove a negative, and it ends there. Thus, someone making the denial statement invites close inspection as to whether they are obsessive or otherwise psychologically extreme or defective. While such people doubtless exist, it is my experience that the religionists seek to discredit atheism by claiming, always without evidence, that most or all atheists take that position. People generally grasp that one cannot disprove god. When religionists disparage atheism as espousing an absurdity, the fence-sitters get pushed back; they don't want to be lumped into a group that is easily shown to be illogical. Perhaps your perception that atheists claim there is no god comes from the lies of the religionists.

Putin announced Russia will help Palestine.

I'm sure Putin would provide transport of Hamas/Gazans to Crimea. Full employment!!! They can fight the Azov Battalion! (or join it). Like Putin, Hamas/Gazans prefer to target civilians; no indiscriminate bombing at all. And like the Wagner Group, they all enjoy rape, murder, desecration of the dead, and kidnapping children (of all ages). Think of the great stories they can share...

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CHRISTIANITY?

racocn8 comments on Dec 14, 2023:

There are very many answers, but I'll give you a few. The lull you probably grew up with may have seen "Christianity" somewhat "chastened" by the revelations of WWII, specifically The Holocaust. Many Christians identified as German in part. Put simply, what little shame could be evoked from such people faded and it didn't last. The inability to control the educational narrative including the teaching of evolution and exclusion of Biblical instruction also put US Christians on their back heel. Christians have fought back by getting the standards diluted via Texas schoolbook reviews (as I recall). Trump's presidency emboldened Christians as he tacitly carried the flag of Christian Nationalism, as embodied by his SCOTUS judges, other judges, and ending RoeVWade. So they are feeling cocky and combative. Trump's polarization has elevated the Evangelicals by giving them power (even though they're inherently incompetent, and vote against their own real interests).

Damn, I missed this classic.

Check this one out! It reminds of a Christian in a chat room long ago who said he "wished" he could...

That's the back-handed way of disavowing all the millions Christianity has killed in the past. Actually, it's a tacit reminder that they can and probably will kill again...
