The self-appointed tzar of the religion so speaks, expressing the smile of Jesus on her face, but she's no Clint Eastwood, with or without the 44.  Jesus did say he came by the sword, after all, so, there's that. Takes a bit to noodle that, but it happens to be true. That said, I posted in the string the tzar began that atheists were welcome on the string, because, in a forum, just because one starts a string does not declare ownership of it. After its launch, any post is open season for reply by any member. As it should be. So, why is this person lobbying to be the president so intent on being divisive? Kind of like another president I know of who campaigned to raise taxes, and was allegedly elected, anyway. Not to mention that the tzar already declares to be the president, too. A bit despotic in my book.

Very true, upon reflection.

I suppose that theism is both bullshit and not bullshit, relative to the both the narrators and a recipients conditioned ideology.

Good point.

Hold your horses there havoc. Chief Rag still has yet to address this issue. After its launch, any thread is open season for reply by any member may not be as it should be.

Well, those who point out that others are good at talking bullshit apparently.

Notice the insane leftist belief. The nature of the theism depends on the conditioned ideology of the recipients. Reality is decided by what the listener thinks. Liberals are so steeped in this belief, it is difficult to get them to see the illogic in it.

Confusing reality as being the same thing as the internal state of it's  observers.

Zed, religion has it truths, non-true BS --and false narritive that may mislead using truths--, however,

religion can serve as a unification of a common ground to share non-disturbing energy between humans, that, may lead to doing caring { comapasionate/empathy } energies for others

The square invented square dancing so as the opposing sexes can share energies that is commonly accepted fun way of minor flirtation.

The cool psych ward had a priest available at all times, and pretty good food as well. Single rooms with own bathroom and shower

The crap psych ward was NOT christian, and they served baked potatoes with chili on top.

Reality is.

Then......Reality is everything else I suppose.

There is a differentiation to be made between a physical  universal reality, and the reality of internal data manipulation.

The latter is not necessarily representative of the former.


For example:
Just as theists create GODS in their minds......In my mind, I could create the Gas Giant Zarg that orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.

Of course neither exists as a physical universal reality.

Tauruses are actually known to not talk any shit at all, instead they're known to talk straight to the point, only Aquarians are blunter than Taurans but Aquarians do also talk shit more, they're just loud in general (if Zodiac signs are true, that is).

Numeric's  are closer to nature of our finite Universe than Zodiac Ass-trology.

Arthur Young inventor of Bell Helicoptor first book ' Geometry of Meaning ' has some association to astrology. LINK

Well you're certainly baked in deistic illogic Mr E.


For example:

There's this floaty about bloke. (Oddly...Northern European in appearance, although originally from the Middle East)

And if your a good boy and say your prayers.

He will forgive you for your sins. ( Whatever a sin is)

And then you will go to heaven when you die. (Where ever that might be)

Yet another silly leftist belief. "My incredulity is proof of your error."

The loony leftist doesn't believe it, so therefore, it's untrue. How these people are able to walk and chew gum at the same time is a mystery.

HaHa...Goading no good Mr E.

Just an avoidance tactic.

Furthermore, I never chew gum.



As for my previous post.

No belief required.

Accepters without proof believe.

I merely point out the pitfalls of accepting without proof.


And as I pointed out 

You were taught to accept without proof.

And your only response was goading

With references to "looney leftists"

Whatever they might be.

You only felt goaded Z, I did not goad you. Sorry, I forgot. How you feel IS reality to you. Carry on.

You were taught to accept without proof.
This must be one of those things you say that you expect to be accepted without proof because.... you're a liberal! Your observations need no proof. Your observations ARE proof! Abra-ca-liberal!

With references to "looney leftists" Whatever they might be.
Say old chap, would you happen to have a mirror handy?

The mirror jibe.

There was briefly, a Turkish gentleman who was keen on that jibe.
