I notice the overuse of the word belief.

It's one of those words that  supposedly says a lot, but establishes precisely, very little...... A bit like "love".

I think what you meant to say was, people variously  interpret information......And I would wholly agree.

I am a creationist of sorts too.

And Codex Gigas is a name that enthralls.

It wouldn't have the same intrigue if it was known as the average size book.

And, the devil as portrayed, is sadly lacking .....I think that the incontinence garment let's it down a tad.....It's more like your worst grand-parent.

Right and left extremes are one and the same really.

I would suggest that you are like me...A core citizen that desires social stability, rather than extreme chaos.

And every four or five years we are still free to tick a box......Which is a good.

Well...Government is as government does.

And the chaos is a stupid few, inspired by megalomania and ineptitude.....As ever.

And the gun salesmen will be will be laughing all the way to the Bank.

Such is what the U.S. has become.

Christ or Antichrist?

But the Inauguration, sure as HELL is going to make for entertaining viewing.

What do you think the body count will be?

Interesting.

I will give it some thought.

And to clarify.... 4 puzzles each?...All based on general knowledge, rather than trickery.

I didn't have you down as a Hard Right Conservative.....You really are a mixed bag.

"Other ways too"....Still vague.

And dreams are generally an abstract response to awake experiences..... So validity may well "seem" to be apparent.

What do you mean?

And Adolph was a wonderful Guy.....Never hurt a flea.

So how do you know that there are other "entities"?

Hearing and Feeling are internally generated sensations...Though we think that they are external....It is only the stimulus that maybe external.

So unless an actual entity, actually spoke to you or touched you.....Your sensations were probably autosuggestion.

There may well be design inherent in the universe...But that doesn't prove the existence of a specific God...All it suggests is that there maybe  design inherent in the universe.

And so did you meet  a GOD face to face?....And what did it look like?

Would you care to elaborate?

Another pat on the back for the E man...He'll be getting a complex if you're not careful.

And still no one has ever proven the existence of a GOD.

Naked, barefoot and in the kitchen, hey Mikey.

And I think that "gays" get up to all sorts of  things.

Yep. Sounds like me....60 years of study and observation, and a master of Atheism and Skepticism.

And doctors acquire facts, by studying facts.

And theists acquire speculation by studying speculation.

I would suggest that wealth and freedom do not necessarily go hand in hand.  Wealth has to be sustained and protected.

I would further reiterate my suggestion that affordable contentment, free from social oppression is perhaps the preferable option....And is perhaps more achievable in a capitalist system.

Though achieving contentment is sometimes just as much inner struggle against expectation, as it is a physical struggle to acquire money.

Sadly, your vitriol makes you no better.

And organic matter could rightly be regarded as the scum of the Earth.

And hatred is a powerful emotion.

My political label is best read as moderate, and I am not aligned with any political party.

And Government is currently the alternative to anarchistic chaos.....So someone's got to do it.

As yet, we do not have a hardwired alternative.

Atheists think that theists are dumb and vice versa....What's new Einstein?

And you don't have an attitude?

It's just groups of people who like to think that they are special.

And freemasonry has long since had anything to do with craftsmanship......It's simply a social club, based on wealth and status.

Such is liberal oppression.

Where's GOD gone then?

Call of nature perhaps.

Morality and meat.

Chalk and cheese.

Assumption and reality.

We could ask  questions until we were all blue in the face, and never get a factual reply....Such is the subject matter.

It's simply a case of what the eye sees the heart grieves over.......Or, what the eye chooses to see.....Selective morality.....Hypocrisy.

And you perhaps know more about leprechauns than I do.

Good morning Sir.

Not encumbered by  certain conditioned ideologies that defy logic.

The reasons, if any, for function and process are currently unknown, but are continually speculated about.

Well I'm taking the definition of subjective and applying it to the definition of objective, and vice versa...Within the context of function and process.

In terms of function and process, objective output is subjective....Even though content may vary.

Nonetheless, I think that it's fair to suggest that a concept based thread of this sort, typically relies upon assumption rather than fact anyway....Therefore objective is always a subjective assumption....Irrespective of ideology.

And the Moon is curious cheeeeese Grommit.

Selective morality as ever.

Stroke the Dog and eat the Pig......Not necessarily though.

Somebody had to do all the torturing and murdering.

So who was it, who stormed the Capitol?

Stupid people, with too much time on their hands and nothing better to do....Except get themselves shot.

Trump would unknowingly, like to be a dictator.

But I don't think that he's clever enough to be a fascist.

Anyway....Too many guns in America.

And it's not the puppet, but the string pullers that you need to consider.

I thought that GOD was omniscient.

So why the need for testing?

It was a euphemism.

I would suggest  that:

Objective is a subjective assumption.

And emotion is an internal electro-chemical response to an external stimulus.

And both, either are or are not, relative to a GOD principle......And to be fair your guess is as good as mine.....And we probably do agree in principle....But not quite so much in the detail.

The precession begins at the North Star and spirals clockwise.

Back peddling Doc.

Though you should have stuck to your guns and not fallen for Trades charm.

Biblical Heaven is above the Earth.

Trade just reinterprets accordingly.

And don't pretend that you know what janesix is going on about. 

#9

Getting fed up with people pointing out the logical alternatives.

#13

And vice versa.....As ever.

Didn't see it, or failed to spot it.

Well stated...Though you didn't even need to include the word "morally".

Why do you worship the Bleached Blond Man?

Have you ever really, analysed such a question?

Was Trump a megalomaniac obsessed with wealth and power?

Or was he an Old School Caucasian Hero?

People are as people have always done.

And technology is now required to bring distraction to an even larger audience. 

Whilst todays thinkers, concentrate on other things.

Progress is what material evolution demands.

So nothing to deal with

It will be dealt with.

A lot to de-cipher.

Though I do have a mental image of you and your muse.

But you are just shadows.

She lies, face down, absorbed in technology,  and I am absorbed by her shape.

You stand in front of her, leaning forwards, absorbed in technology also.

I am not similarly absorbed, and am easily distracted by my thoughts.

Please explain?

So why did God create dinosaurs?

Did GOD get rid of dinosaurs for a reason?

Were they sinners, big time?

I like the informal "Zed"...Do you mind if I refer to you as U.

Meanwhile, I will look into the mystery, artful illusion and reincarnation that you allude to.

I would say, more popular and less popular.

And I don't think that goodness is a determining factor.

I would suggest that the factors that determine popularity are variously human, rather than topically virtuous.

If you look for synchronicity you will find it and if you want to find synchronicity you will look for it.

Other people fill their lives with other stuff and never consider synchronicity.....Maybe the odd coincidence now and then.

And free will and fate are usually tough nuts to crack, and usually end up unresolved.

I would suggest that you are a programmed organic machine, and as such you are governed by your programming.......Though, can you decide what you want for breakfast?

Fate is probably no more than a mystical interpretation of the above. 

And that still leaves breakfast......Choices Choices.

Yep. Have seen that image.

Though the opposite does seem to show a good diagrammatic representation of the female reproductive system, ovaries and all.

Perhaps achieving sexual fulfilment wasn't as socially hampered back in the day.... AND all variations on the sodomy theme, would have been the best form of contraception at the time.

Repressed religious types really tried fucked up peoples fun didn't they?...Especially Catholics...Though up until fairly recently the holy fathers didn't seem to think so.

I haven't read much about the Cathars, though I don't remember their sexual proclivities being regarded as any more sodomitically inclined, than that of any other christian sect.

That was reputedly, just hypocritical Catholics in denial going Na Na Na Na Na.

But despite religion, has and did anything really change in the lower fulfilment department?

And was Leonardo just a proactive porn artist?....Vitruvian man certainly looked like he was ready for a spanking!

I would suggest that the bulk of the population (and I speak as a British person) are moderate and only align themselves politically at election times. The rest of the time, most people have better things to do....Fortunately in the U.K. extremism isn't allowed to get much of a look in...So the terms liberal and conservative tend not to mean a great deal when it comes to national policy decisions.
