The current composition of the Supreme Court is ridiculous and offensive in a supposedly pluralistic country. The GQP has broken rules everywhere to steal power. If democrats don't do something, there won't be any more rules for the GQP to break.

The DOJ inaction to not prosecute Trump for the multitude of crimes (Treason, Obstruction of justice, bribery, sedition and insurrection, etc.) should tell us what we need to know.

All of that activity is knowingly subversive. They and Koch all need to see jail and the laws they passed invalidated.

Does Objective Evidence for God Exist?

racocn8 comments on Dec 12, 2021:

Now if you want some subjective evidence for God, mushrooms provide a stunning array of subjective experiences including: 1) Emotional release and engagement; 2) The contemplation of death and non-existence; 3) Nearly indescribable visual displays: 3a) Symmetric mandalas receding into infinity; 3b) Dissolution of irregular objects or surfaces with perfect consistent surfaces; 3c) Edges in the visual field acquiring spectral prismatic qualities that are breathtakingly gorgeous; 3d) Rapid swirling of colors as seen in nothing more than a gleam of reflected light... (and a lot more). Faced with this variety of very personal experiences, God 'seems' to fit better than a mere drug. But, as always, the experience IS brought on by a drug, but it's hard to reconcile these effects.

Does Objective Evidence for God Exist?

racocn8 comments on Dec 12, 2021:

Were that so, then God would be equivalent to the Universe. The only possible difference is that people interpret God as having agency and somehow modifying what goes on. That has never been documented. If God exists, it is not the god of religion, but something quite different. What we refer to as God does not exist, that is, an entity that interferes or can be appealed to for special treatment. The God that might exist might be something like universal consciousness manifested through one or more of the 11 unseen string dimensions. The existence of life demonstrates that agency is conferred at the molecular level, animating viruses on up.

Religion utterly destroys the intrinsic ethics people are born with, replacing them with idiotic myths. Where is the true, honest, honorable good provided by religion? What good provided is by religion that isn't poisoned by greed and ulterior motives?

UFOLOGY.

racocn8 comments on Dec 9, 2021:

"...ufology is regarded by skeptics and science educators as a canonical example of pseudoscience." That is because the national security apparatus sought to disparage and ridicule those who reported sightings, etc. That has been problematic because UFOs have particular interest in nuclear weapons and facilities. UFO performance characteristics do not resemble anything in anyone's inventory. Even with lots of good evidence, some skeptics have become debunkers who lie, cherrypick and misrepresent data, behavior which is far closer to religion than science. The resulting societal brainwashing in unfortunate. The Pentagon Report represents a small step in encouraging military staff to honestly report what they see, rather than to be intimidated into silence. The latter is an issue of readiness and national security. What is fortunate is that several "former" CIA/Pentagon staff have formed an entity to facilitate increased disclosure of the truth. These "To The Stars Academy" founders helped get the Pentagon to authenticate the videos, and to validate their UFO status (reading between the lines of the Pentagon Report). One interesting development of TTSA is that they are working with Avi Loeb to use existing telescopes. The Galileo Project also hopes to develop new platforms to perform technical evaluations of UFOs, this because the Pentagon is reticent to declassify anything. A link is below. It is unfortunate that the country's own military would refuse to be more cooperative on such an important subject. However, that same military contains a large percent of Christians who regard UFOs and aliens as demonic. As these folks are incapable of rational judgment on this subject, serious projects have been segregated into private information silos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ims6teZBfPg

How to atheists return to religion? I don't understand

racocn8 comments on Dec 8, 2021:

Returning to religion, especially Christianity, is an extremely common lie Christians tell each other. It is like so many other lies and just so stories they use to occupy their empty lives. If you ever run into one, ask them the definition of an atheist. They'll always give you the incorrect Christian definition, where an atheist is one who makes the claim that god doesn't exist. The correct definition is that an atheist does not have a belief in any of the various gods. Other than that, possibly a few people never spent any time learning anything about atheism. Atheism has a rich and amusing literature, some of which lampoons Christianity. One would have to have a full-on brain fart to forget all that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQQDkuAhYOs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBBoGAHCJ-8
