And neither is religion essential to life.
And as you stated...Extreme implementation of data, or in other words oppressive conditioning.
Which in reality is no different to teaching kids that sex with adults is fun and O.K.....And this is widely regarded as child abuse.

The system is inadvertently self perpetuating ..... People with varying abilities create and perpetuate the system....Hierarchy.
The embellishment of the system and how we refer to it, is largely irrelevant....Capitalism and Socialism are just labels we apply to variations of a theme.
I would suggest, that how individuals fair within the system, depends a lot on whether it is the pen or the sword that maintains the system.

LOL. Mikey.
And you've still got em hooked Mr Utan Ity.
Or is that my miscontraception.
I'm laughing so much, I'm leaving tiny inexcretions.

You do realise that there is no real unequivocal evidence for any creation hypothesis, don't you.
If there was we would all have to agree....How boring would that be?

"Cupture"....Good word....Something to do with Trademarked Tumblers.

@Theweakeredge
Exactly....You lack the relevant data needed, to be able to understand a simple puzzle concept....Just like Mr Athias.
Which was my original point....I.Q. can only test what you know.
Mr Athias is very good at long words and philoso-speak for example....It simply boils down to what one has and has not learned.

What about militant theists?......All those Syrian Jihadists for example.
Your paranoia is almost palpable.

Not being alive, is not the same as death.
If you had stated that life is better than death then I would have agreed.

By traditional standards I'm atheist.
As far as I am concerned, the same applies to all concept based belief systems.....But in this case, specifically satanism.

Well I obviously wouldn't do that, as I don't believe in a fantasy GOD......That's your department.
You were assuming that I was immature....And so I assumed, that you also must assume that you are mature.....Therefore as you were clearly not in agreement, the implication would obviously be the antithesis of what you regarded as an immature statement.....Basic Inference.

@Theweakeredge
So you cannot solve them...Fine...You're database just lacks the relevant programming.
The first puzzle follows a standard three stage pattern.
And the second puzzle has two separate parts with the same answer. The first part explains itself.... The second part is the application of basic general knowledge and tells you what the first part means.
Rather than applying intelligence and trying to solve them, you would rather do something that you are used to doing.... In other words, argue the toss.
I.Q. measures levels of stored data and the holders ability to recall and apply said data....If one hasn't got it, then one won't be able to do it...And If one cannot do it in the first place, it is unlikely that one will ever get it.

@MisterChris
You might have met people who refer to themselves as satanists....Just another bunch of people with fantasy concepts in their heads.
And any associated activity is just typically contrived, ritualistic baloney.
No extra-terrestrial, super-natural, fantasy beings actually required.....Just wild imagination.

@Theweakeredge
Nope. These are very usual and very typical puzzles that follow a standard puzzle format...... And as I stated, and ardent puzzler would solve them in a few minutes.
it's the same with anything that requires the application of intelligence...One either possesses the know how or one doesn't.....Hence, why I questioned the validity of Intelligence Quotient.....One must acquire puzzle solving data before one can apply it confidently.....In this respect I would suggest that the human computer is little different to it's electronic cousin....I would further suggest that the quality of the mechanism is a separate issue.

Perhaps.....Exactly.

Nice to see a logical approach.

@Dr.Franklin
I'm not sure what "lively" represents for you.... Probably a personal expectation, perhaps shared with group of similarly conditioned people.....But out there, are millions of others who don't quite share the same worldview.....Some peoples degenerate is now a lot of peoples normal....Perhaps you are getting old... You certainly sound like my dad.

I suppose one enjoys doing puzzles or one doesn't....I do, and quite honestly I could have cracked these two simple puzzles, in a couple of minutes, as would any ardent puzzle solver..... They follow the basic format of of simple word and number puzzles.....No tricks involved.

How come you wrote "tolded" and then got "exactly" right..... And "allivator" sounds nothing like elevator..... And why "base meant" and not basemeant.

We will always discriminate where there is a perceivable difference..... But I would suggest that these days, we are tending to discriminate more on the perceivable differences of wealth and intellect....And nationalism as always, of course.
And so I suppose that wealth and intellect can be as LEFT as they can be RIGHT.....Especially If we look at the political divisions in the U.S. for example.

You have child drag queen story time in free thinking America.
Which has got to be better that religiously oppressed America.
And how can you be certain that all drag queens are atheists?....Isn't that just another theist assumption?

50% isn't a majority it's stalemate....
And the majority of Kantian philosophy is twaddle.......He was too privileged to have to worry about reality......A bit like Marx.
I would suggest that, everyone is the same but also unique...And I would further suggest that "Universalism" is either 100% or not at all.
It would be real easy peasy being paid to sit about and think up nonsense.
So my advice would be.... If such jobs exist then go for it.

@fauxlaw
Your overriding bias defeats your objective in the first sentence.
The good sensible people of the U.S.A simply voted to get rid of the most inept and intellectually challenged President we have seen in recent times.
Next time select yourselves a candidate who can at least string together a coherent sentence...And for goodness sake don't reselect Buffoon Boy.

That's just it.....Things are as they are and accepting that is just as good as accepting the assumption of a GOD.
Happiness is found in contentment, and is not necessarily found in an archaic creation hypothesis.
Because some people have been programmed to accept a GOD, and some people have not.....That's only the real difference between Theism and Atheism.

But...I would suggest and in no particular order.
You are bleating the Republican and Christian message.
And you've never seen a man born with one leg...That would be an exception to the rule....LOL....Think about it....His poor Mum.
And religion isn't a creation of man?
And semantics is semantics and therefore as I see it love is a metaphor and sex is sex.
And as an exception to my normal rule, I did in fact vote against Brexit...But I would rather that those in charge would just get on with it now. It won't stop my enjoyment of the Tour de France.
And sometimes we agree and sometimes we don't, that's the fun of it....Debateart would be boring otherwise.
