Re: Mr Pickles

For Candid. It never happened before but there was a slug in my coffee. They've been appearing a lot and one must have dropped into the cup. Sadly I drank the lot then felt something in my mouth. It was a smallish slug. Gross. Not much I could do. Got rid of the slug and boiled my cup. I suppose som...

Re: Mr Pickles

Might as well add Gary Mckinnon. He sort of lost the plot due to hacking sites. Gary hacked into NASA convinced they were "covering up" UFOs. Apparently they only crash in the USA and never India or Peru.

Re: Mr Pickles

I think our Quiet Voice serves as a yet another warning as to the perils of dodgy social media sites. I do think that at some point governments will start to control the whole phenomenon as happened with cigarettes in the 1970s. To clarify the point, Elliot Rodger had been diagnosed with Aspergers a...

Re: Mr Pickles

I recommend The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, if you haven't already read it. Dawkins attacks Yahweh as a nasty piece of work. Platonism also dismantles the Yaweh or Jehova image of God because in Platonism only demons experience emotions and passions. So, given Yaweh gets jealous, has rages, me...

Re: Mr Pickles

It's been a good day for "the birdhouse project" despite the usual need to down tools and flee for shelter from downpours. These projects of mine are always obsessive. Once I get an idea to do something it gets obsessive. Still, the birdbox now has a sloped roof and is as solid as a rock. ...

More here: The Nazi theory of race purity and race superiority which forms one of the chief weapons of their campaign against the Jews of Germany is struck a blow by Dr. Ernst Kretschmer, psychiatrist, famous professor of the University of Marburg. Dr. Kretschmer, who attained a world wide reputatio...

Re: Mr Pickles

This for Quiet Voice to ponder, dated 1930s. Kretschmer was an expert German geneticist and scientist: “Very few race theories,” he asserts, “are free from political and romantic prejudices. We are today still very far from having enough material for a comprehensive racial psychology. But already to...

Re: Mr Pickles

I heard of Dawkins, yes. Still you might find Christien O Brien interesting. He pointed out the Hebrew word for "God" (Elohim) is grammatically plural. It means "the gods" created the heavens (or higher land) and the earth. Genesis appears to have originated from Sumerian creatio...

Re: Mr Pickles

Consider too that Christianity persecuted not just Jews but pagans (witches), heretics and justified the slave trade. That doesn't make Jesus bad since he never claimed he was the son of God. Orthodoxy came about centuries after his death. "According to Taylor, the Christian religion, or, as he...

Re: Mr Pickles

Why are Jews always blamed? They are often not Christian but of a minority religion. I'm not Jewish but I don't believe Jesus was the son of God either and neither did gnostics. So, it's all based on culture and religion. Jews are just normal people though they test higher I.Q. than Europeans and A...
