I don't really no much about the sex life of badgers.

Ask Theweakeredge....They are an expert on all things sexual.....Or so they think.

GODS are various derivatives of the once commonly held notion that somewhere up there is something else greater than us.

The GOD principle, is that which may perpetuate the creation, evolution and collapse of a material Universe....The accumulation of all knowledge, maybe.

Planet Earth is legitimate.

As I suggested previously, who lives where and the legitimacy thereof, is maintained by force and tenuous agreement.

And if the Jewish homeland is in Arabia, then all Jews are Arabs.

The difference is religious ideology and assumed culture.

For sure R.I.P Ian Curtis.

It's interesting how we are variously inspired by music and musicians.

I an British, and I was 20 years of age in 1980, so you would perhaps expect me to have strong memories of Ian Curtis, Joy Division and their music...But I have none, other than of the Band named Joy Division, and the name's infamous associations with the Nazi era.

My musical preferences had already been shaped I suppose.

Nonetheless I will respectfully pay Youtube a visit and have a listen.

True........One cannot disprove something that cannot firstly be proven.......Logic.

"May" being the operative word.

Though one would suggest that logic is always logical, at any level.

Yep.

So you're centuries old Mr Faux?....Incredible.

If you want to regard ancestry in terms of centuries, then it's fair to say we are all one and the same.

Especially if one has theistic tendencies, with all that Adam and Eve stuff.

For some reason you chose to stop, and cherry pick Scotland and France, or should I say Alba and Gaul....Aye...Was it the lure of the bagpipes and the fine dining Monsieur McFaux.

Might be some Hibernian in there too....Or Norse or Roman or any number of central and southern European influences.

Are we all pedigrees or mongrels Mr Faux?

A lick of paint.

A very British expression then?

Did a GOD say what Abraham meant?

Or did Abraham say what a GOD meant?

Why would an atheist want to do anything with it?

There's atheism and then there's intolerance.

And some theists are just as intolerant as some atheists are.

Theism and atheism are just labels, that represent varying data output, relative to varying data input...As is an amendment to a constitution.

In spatial terms, no right or wrong way was what I was implying.

In human terms we chose one as far as I know....That was also my implication

And pertinent  knowledge and the development thereof, was generally located in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

And ancient Egyptians did all sorts of fascinating stuff, as did other ancient civilisations....Though they were all eventually out-evolved by cleverer civilisations.

Nonetheless, if we had thought the other way, the Earth and maps would still have been the same, but labelled the opposite way.

Once upon a time, humans had no idea what the Earth looked like. Some even thought it was a flat disc.

Nonetheless, humans developed knowledge and mapped the Earth, and eventually acquired the ability and knowledge to be able to view the Earth form space.

Thus confirming the appearance of Planet Earth.

Throughout the process and accumulation of knowledge humankind labelled and recorded  what it discovered.

In spatial terms upside down is the right way up...In human terms we chose one or the other.....Maybe relative to the position of knowledge.

Evolution is the inevitable development of matter, presumably to it's conclusion.

Species and their survival is only a part thereof.

I regard GOD as the conclusion and therefore a possible beginning/re-initiation.....Though I do not believe this.

Nonsense is as nonsense can be proved.

Such is the absurdity of Religion...Or more correctly, the absurdity of religious argument.

Which are you more intimidated by?

Logic, or your own ability/inability.

Certainly over here, a lick of paint might make a property more saleable, but won't add any significant value to a property.

Yeah...I know that's not the point.

State provision of lemons is the key... And why would Marx need to profit, when all that he needs is a loaf of bread and a warm bed in return for his lemonade.

Well yes....Marx would actually expect more than that....Such is the hypocrisy of Marx, and the unworkability of an inevitably hierarchical system.

Quite simply....Words, and the allocation thereof....North, South, Dave, Britney..... And the human need/ability to acquire, store, communicate and repeat recognisable data.

And the World map could be any way up, but if it includes text, it is obviously easier to read a certain way....Also, human necessity (see above).

We learn by acquiring and storing data.

So we consequently address failure, by applying newly acquired data.

We understand what caused failure and modify output.

Which GOD?...What GOD?....Who's GOD?

For:

1. GOD principle sound.

2. Existence, evolution and purpose.

And against: (Assuming the Abrahamic vision).

1. Floaty about bloke that landed atop a mountain somewhere in the Arabian Peninsula....Not quite so sound.

2. Abraham....As high as a kite.... Use of mind affecting stimulants, was/is not regionally uncommon.

One does not doubt that modern biblical translations are derived of historical texts....And furthermore, said texts do clearly make reference to actual locations, and presumably therefore, also to real people. Texts, which in the absence of scientifically acquired understanding, shared and included the commonly derived world view of a creator deity.

Your unerring acceptance of said texts, pays little or no regard to either, the naivety of such creation hypotheses, or to the current level of scientifically derived understanding.

Look up the word polarity, which basically means opposite.

The Northern point of magnetic attraction is in the North and the South is in the South...Nonetheless their magnetic poles are their opposites.

So technically the North Magnetic Pole is in the South.

But we still regard the Northern point of magnetic attraction as being in the North.

I think what you actually mean is, some humans prefer to attribute said deity with masculine pronouns.

One could suggest that the birth of a universe was a very feminine responsibility.

Or a parthenogenic fusion of fundamental matter.

The GOD bloke in question, turned up a few billion years later.

Yes correct.

The Red Planet does indeed refer to the Planet Mars, and current explorations thereof.

But the "prophecy", was a playful dig, aimed at our American Brothers and Sisters....(All genders inclusive)

Do you get a version of Robot Wars on Chinese TV?

I currently envisage Rover Wars.

Trust me.

Both explanations will probably leave Jane as confused as she was previously.

In general terms, the Magnetic North Pole is variously located around the Geographic North Pole. 

What you are referring to, are the effects of magnetic attraction.

What is "antiemetic"....Sometimes vomiting is necessary.

Nonetheless, the often misunderstood word "Semitic", is often misunderstood.

Though not a dumb mistake that Mr Faux is likely to make.

The race is on.

Though I firmly agree with Faux, that cooperation in Space exploration and technology would be the NICE way forwards.

Though perhaps, in terms of evolutionary progress, NICE is irrelevant. 

As I see it.

The acquisition of knowledge is the internal process of sensory input and data storage.......The basis of acceptance, faith and belief is internal processing, rather than external influence.....We variously believe, accept and have faith, relative to how we are formatively conditioned to prioritise data...."We can be educated"....Though that is not to say that we are not capable of reassessing and modifying our established database....Nonetheless completely erasing and reprogramming (re-educating) is unlikely.

So you have an established and prioritised dataset within your databank and refer to it as faith and belief.....And though I may possess the same basic data, I was not educated to prioritise it as you do.

Alternative programming...No more, no less....GOD principle accepted.....But nothing so specific as the Christian Godhead.

It's a bloke then?

Will we rename it Dengland.

Freudian slip maybe?

@RatMan

Would humanity have survived without it?

I think that the clue is in the name.

Obviously not.

Though it does generate a lot of angst.

Thou shalt not read the Bible.

Problems solved.

@Theweakeredge.

Mr Faux was hoisted by his own petard there.

@RatMan

I have a falconer friend, no Eagles though. But I have seen several trained Eagles.

Nonetheless the question was  meant to be mildly satirical.

So vegans approve of carnivorous behaviour?

I assume the end of the universe, and the rebirth of the next....A GOD principle.

And the evolution of matter and us and GOD, was perhaps commanded by inevitability.

The World doesn't give a shit about the sentient organic scum that infects it.

The world is doomed, as might be the Universe.

And Israeli and Palestinian will decay together, as they were created together.

And morality is the bullshit of philosophers and hypocrites.

Or should we educate our Eagles , in the benefits of Quorn. (Other vegetable protein substitutes are available).

And would an Eagle be able to tell the difference?

Would depend upon the sauce I suppose.

Seriously though....Do any vegans out there, keep an Eagle or a Dog.

My Dog loves Quorn.....Any sauce will do......Though dogs are seemingly, always desperately omnivorous.

What about Lions?.....Would they eat Go-Cat?

Super-pedantic is some peoples style.

I attempt to be super-sensible, with a modicum of satire thrown in for balance.

Interestingly, sensible and satire are lost upon a lot of our younger viewers.

Doesn't bother me though...I just enjoy the mental exercise.

Therefore......I think that what you are trying to say is, the Bible is concisely zero and one can assume clues and construct various assumptions.

And so a woman named Mary (Miryam) did perhaps get pregnant.....But it wasn't a GOD what did it.

Perhaps it was Joe, or more than likely one of his devious brothers.

I don't recall it issuing any commands in my lifetime.

When did it last issue a command?

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours ox or his wife.....No, not the ox's wife.

A few new pertinent commands wouldn't go amiss.

Where is it?......Hiding behind the clouds as ever, having a laugh.

A historical account or narrative.....True

Perhaps you overestimate it.

Yep statistics.

Want to make a point...Go get a statistician to create a statistic.

And the brain inactive will accept without consideration.

Statistics is as statistics does.

Nope...Just can't think of anything...Other than this.

Marx was a hypocrite and full of BS anyway.

Wouldn't catch Marx selling lemonade.

Too busy hyperbolising.

Was he the moustache and cigar one?

And a particular peoples particular GOD's covenantal dealings....True.

And an account thereof...True

No more, no less.

Prolific output Mr Faux.

As I see it, masks are two way spit and snot catchers.

And don't forget to wash your hands.

And if the Indians had stayed in India.

So much for travel restrictions.

Why should a f**king virus worry when it's got luxury air travel to ferry it around.

With the U.S. being an Israeli satellite state, and all round provider of military hardware for said Jewish Overlords.

Why does Joe need an embassy...When a text will do....Net him yahoo!

Just being opinionated Faux.
