It's the human condition.

As exemplified above by BK.

Bro D, AKA  The 21st Century Iconoclast and Stephen tend to reside on the Island these days.

I occasionally pay them a visit.

Religion doesn't need anyone to make it look literally stupid.

It is stupid by it's own definition...Stupid was your choice of descriptive, by the way.

I would perhaps say, literally incoherent relative to developed intellect and consequent understanding...In short, outdated.

Which isn't to say that analogous Mangod hypotheses were not reasonable as basic representations of the unknown factors that facilitated creation and existence.

And I am intellectually capable of grasping more than one idea at a time, just as you should be.

How we respond to ideology, really just depends upon how we have been conditioned to respond.

As for spirit:

Well, such reactions are what one wants them to be.

And so they should be.

And in the end, who knows.

Neither you nor I, that's for sure.

So we use a Forum to occasionally poke each other in the ribs.

Which is beneficial entertainment and brain exercise.

None of which either proves or disproves Mangod theory, or any other creation and existence hypothesis.

So let's just enjoy the process while we can.

Is that  secret Roman Catholic symbolism.

Good metric.

You seemingly find angst inspirational.

I guess I did once.

I put it down to hormones.

As I've aged, things have got fluffier.

Though the bottom line is,  existence necessitates doing something...Could be A, could be B.

And when one reaches fluffy age, one tends to realise that lifestyle A  was probably a better option than lifestyle B.

Nonetheless, good metric.

Which will no doubt resonate with angst ridden youth.

Wherein lies the conspiracy when an old man is diagnosed with prostate cancer?

Though, I still think that Donald is an extra-terrestrial super carrot, employed by the Jews, in order to perpetuate the ongoing spheroidal Earth misinformation, thereby concealing the fact that bigfoot, who are responsible for Earth's rotational mechanism, which is failing,  live on the other side and only come this side to play in the snowy forests of America.

Are Bigfeet the plural of Bigfoot...I believe that there is an ongoing lexicographical conspiracy surrounding this information, and that if we fully understood the correct plurality of Bigfoot we would be able to live forever, and the Jews along with Donald super-carrot are conspiring to make humans die unnecessarily from prostate cancer or similar.

No, I think he is a loose cannon.

The bible or the constitution or both?

Fortunately in Wales we (currently) are provided with free health care and free prescription medicines.

Nonetheless it is always wise to put a bit away for the future...Money that is.

Eyes going too.

Yes.

Thank you for the refresher course in philosophical terminology.

Ah.

So you are saying that Humans and their processes and their ability to manipulate are not natural.

So if humans are not natural, then what are they?

Not sure that this makes sense.

Though for sure, as dictated by the nature of space and time, the ongoing brain event is the ongoing brain event.

Therefore snippets of data are can only ever be similarly repeated.

Will Paradox is Anthony Paradigms half brother.

So an 82 year old has prostate cancer.

Nothing new.

I wish him all the best.

Once a popular vote is corrupted by contrived systems, it becomes a corrupted vote.

In the main, "Western" democracies rely upon the acquired sensibilities of the populace, and voting is something of a intermittent method of government regulation.

That is why, as yet, I have never voted in British parliamentary elections...Because as yet, voting makes no significant difference to how things get done.

Just different folk with similar bright ideas.

Well for sure, we can apply ancient mystery and magic to ancient myths...That's an easy peasy explanation that does not require any qualification.

It's more feasible to suggest that back in the day life spans were measured in lunar cycles, which would make Noah about 48 in solar years.

And I'm not sure what you mean by nasties, but microbes, bacteria in particular, are essential to our existence...It's just that some are not and are best avoided...But a tad hard to dodge

And before the advent of immunisation and antibiotics, viruses and unbeneficial bacteria were common killers.

And unless you're an accepter of Christian creationist baloney, you will be aware that single celled life forms are probably the precursors of all higher life forms, and so were inevitably around in ancient Mesopotamia...As probably was, multi orifice experimentation.

It's sort of hypocritical is it not, for a pro-mortalist to pro-actively not be pro-actively pro-mortal?

Though I think that if we categorise offbeat's in a nutter scale of 1 to 10...Then deluded pro-mortalist's are probably up around the 10 mark.

Typically, you take things rather too PC.

No one is encouraging suicide.

Just pointing out the obvious contradiction in the pro-motalists ideology.

It's rather like pro-lifers killing abortion clinic employees.

Dumbass people...(Largely inspired by religious baloney and encouraged by zealots)

Religion is an embellished concept, managed internally, same as everything else you do is managed internally. 

All require the same management processes.

Thinking otherwise is a delusion, which is just another example of an internally managed and perceived, process and outcome.

Nope, you produce your own electro-chemical Holy Spirit, inside your brain.

As bad as who.

What isn't the same as what?

In general terms, internal responses to sensory stimuli, whether positive or negatively perceived, will be similarly produced.

I certainly don't claim to be a biochemist though, so I cannot explain the precise chemical make up of every reaction.

Spirituality, simply describes one such reaction, though some people like to think of it as some sort of divine intervention...Perhaps this is what you are alluding to.

Yes, the longevity pills will be very expensive.

Everything that occurs within a Universe at any given moment, is naturally occurring.

It cannot be anything else.

Guns and nuclear weapons did evolve.

Just as AI will evolve and take over the running of things.

In 2100, I will be 140.

Assumptions are in the main, ignorance based.

If one knew for certain, then one wouldn't need to make an assumption.

You've gone all Ebuc for a moment.

Will it last.

I think that some women sometimes say things, just to wind up some men.

And some people ask dumbass questions.

And other people answer them.

Yep, it's the same endorphin rush that you get when you cuddle your hens.

Once you finally get out of bed, that is.

I don't disagree that the tale might be based upon real events , and Mesopotamia is a good place for a  localised flood.

And a guy, perhaps named Noah, perhaps rescued some farm animals in his boat.

Though I doubt that he was 600 years of age...I think that was just another wee exaggeration on the part of storytellers.

Good to here it.

Pro-mortalists should be pro-actively self mortalising.

Tucked away somewhere.

Oh yes, there's a big revival.

Yep, there's always someone in the right frame of mind to do something.

One of those small but more potentially dangerous social obstacles that we have to try and avoid.

And either eradicate or deconstruct.

The biggest plot hole is Mangod.

Because Mangod requires Mangod requires Mangod ad infinitum.

When actually, Mangod only requires Man.

Such are Mangod flaws.

Boat floating.

I feel the same after my Sunday cycle ride.

S'all to do with brain chemicals and how we inspire their production.

Shila is a heroine

Heroin is a substance, banned or otherwise.

And smartphones emit high frequency radio waves.

And necessity is the mother of invention.

Or as Plato said..."Our need will be the real creator"...Wise words.

Yep.

Same could be said about Atheism.

Or Nazism, even.

Wear the badge, wear the outfit, promote the ideology.

Or philately.

Or Artisan Baking.

Orrrrrrrrrrrr...Nazi Buddhist, artisan baking, postage stamp collecting societies, reaching out to people, across the globe and beyond.

130 is 100% of 130.

Similarly  99 is 100% of 99.

Therefore everyone has a 100% IQ, relative to their IQ.

Though even people with big ones, sometimes do stupid things.

Thinking is as thinking does

And Ratman's is higher, because.

He stands on chairs

Or goes upstairs.

So Mangod fancies a sacrifice, so he asks Abraham takes his son up a mountain and sacrifice him.

But fortunately there's a Ram stuck in a bush and that does the trick.

What's stuff like that all about, FishChaser?

Now, I can run with the idea of an Extra Terrestrial Super Intelligence...But not one that does shit like that.

So same Mangod screws a virgin, she has his son, who is actually Mangod himself...Then proceeds to sacrifice his son who is actually himself, for me and you.

Yep, makes a whole lot of sense, FishChaser.

And this sort of baloney is the foundation of your life and existence...Hey, whatever floats your boat.

Hey, and don't get me started on boats, with a cargo of approximate 8.7 billion animal species on board.

Even the birds had to land occasionally.

Obviously marine life had an easier time of it.

But I still wonder who collected all those marsupials from Australia...And the Polar bears and the penguins...They don't tell us that.

Nonetheless, not bad for a 600 year old bloke.

How much nonsense do you want?

No doubt.

See the fish, chase the fish.

Hey, I always love it when magic  mangod enthusiasts get irked by common sense.

I never get irked by magic mangod tales, it's what makes these threads entertaining.

So you obviously realise that fossils are clear evidence of life before mangod, and therefore that your 10000 times great grandparent was a tinyblob of something floating about in a primeval sea.

And a mangod suffering for us in human form...Why bother doing dumbass stuff like that.

Nope it was more than likely just some deluded Middle Easterner stirring up trouble, who got nailed up for his sins.

But it inspired societal progress, multibillion industries, scientific research and not to mention, millennia of bickering and fighting and killing.

True.

I would not wish to deny you your opinion.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Red and Blue hats will have a significance, other than just colour preference.

If the Guinea pigs were Rats, I guessing that they would also have a genetically inbuilt preference, irrespective of peanut butter.

Though if Guinea Pigs were Rats, would that make Rats, Guinea Pigs.

Apologies.

S'all make believe.

Dungeons and Dragons.

Middle Earth and Magic Rings.

Escapism's good for the mind and tings.

Though back to reality.

And the bathroom

All that tea

I need a wee.

Wash up the dishes 

Breakfast's done 

And in a bit

I'll need a ............

100% or 100mm?

Does it have an orange cover?

There you are Shila, sling the cross and beads, don your best orange dress, shave your head and revive the mystical east.

Or west, whichever's closer to Canada.

Or just stay at home and revive it there.

I think that flower power and free love needs a revival.
