This is encouraged by that powerful and ruthless Tribe which has controlled the affairs of the world for untold centuries by exploiting Man's most base instincts. Conflict among and between the unenlightened serves as their mask and shield.
A deeper understanding of the Fundamental Laws that govern the affairs of Men is necessary if we are to save civilization from its usurious executioners. The following are not intended to provide a detailed system of government, but as PRECEPTS which, when understood, will benefit and preserve a People as individuals and as a Nation.
Oh dear. Must you?
You and me both! For some reason I had no problem with the constant "humans are frugivores", which is patent nonsense; but this even more patently nonsense stuff is a just plain nasty.Fulgurator wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2024 6:29 pm I was hoping our ubiquitous Toxic Voice had packed her bags to fight her jihad.
Seems to me ALL religions cause more (and more dangerous) problems than they alleviate. I'll listen to anyone with a sincere faith, but if they start proselytising or are in any way fanatical I walk away.Pity about Iran. It has a fascinating history and a little known religion called zoroastrianism. A lot of Iranians would be glad to see the back of the clerical mullahs.
In Roman times, part of Iran was Parthia. Parthia was known for its oracles and prophets. From here came the Zoroastrian mystic cult which teaches a kind of yin and yang, I think. Then you have Carthage where Tanit (goddess) was revered. That language of Phoenician is quite close to modern Hebrew.Candid wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2024 7:31 pmOh dear. Must you?

Oh crikey, I've just reread Not Without My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody, who was trapped in Iran for 18 horrific months. That's a place to be stayed away from, despite Zoroastrianism which I believe has some similarities to Hinduism. In a sense I've created my own religion, without church, incense or creed. I believe in humanity, live and let live, do unto others etc. I can tell you're a peaceable sort of cove too.
Sadly I agree with that too. She certainly does have one or two bees in her bonnet, and the repeated insults are just plain stupid. I'm sorry to see it, because I thought of her as one of my online friends and now I just think she's out on her own somewhere and has lost the plot in a big way.Fulgurator wrote:Most of her postings are what you'd expect from a twelve year old.
As far as I know it's the done thing in White Australia, too. It could have something to do with climate, methinks.Even the absurd rantings on circumcision. I mean, Q.V. is totally unaware that custom was typical in various ancient societies, including ancient Egypt...
I've worked with a few scientists and yes, they are. They're also the happiest people I know, enjoying 'in' jokes about their field of interest and welcoming volunteers such as I was. Most of them don't make a lot of money, but who cares about that when you're doing what you love!Platonism states lack of understanding has a direct relationship to the ethical balance of the mind. That's why most great scientists were very morally orientated, tolerant individuals.
She doesn't like what's going on in the world. Nor do I, but there's no point hurling insults at innocent bystanders. I get the impression she has no one to talk things over with, and I understand that could turn a gal's head.Quiet Voice is full of toxic anger and resentment, so her judgement and ability to reason is impaired.
Proving the point right here at this forum.Conflict among and between the unenlightened serves as their mask and shield.
