Good Stuff From "Religulous"

[Campbell]

“The plain fact is, religion must die for mankind to live. The hour is getting very late to be able to indulge in having key decisions made by religious people, by irrationalists, by those who would steer the ship of state not by a compass, but by the equivalent of reading the entrails of a chicken. George Bush prayed a lot about lraq, but he didn't learn a lot about it.(...)

(...)Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It’s nothing to brag about. And those who preach faith and enable and elevate it are our intellectual slaveholders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction. Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do. Most people would think it's wonderful when someone says, ''l'm willing, Lord. l'll do whatever You want me to do.'' Except that since there are no gods actually talking to us, that void is filled in by people with their own corruptions , - limitations and agendas.(...)

(...)And anyone who tells you they know- they just know what happens when you die, l promise you, you don't . How can l be so sure? Because l don't know, and you do not possess mental powers that l do not. The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion but doubt. Doubt is humble and that's what man needs to be considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong.(...)

(...)This is why rational people, anti-religionists, must end their timidity and come out of the closet and assert themselves. And those who consider themselves only moderately religious really need to look in the mirror and realize that the solace and comfort that religion brings you actually comes at a terrible price.(...)

(...)If you belonged to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, violence and sheer ignorance as religion is, you'd resign in protest. To do otherwise is to be an enabler, a Mafia wife, with the true devils of extremism that draw their legitimacy from the billions of their fellow travellers. lf the world does come to an end here or wherever, or if it limps into the future, decimated by the effects of a religion-inspired nuclear terrorism, let's remember what the real problem was: That we learned how to precipitate mass death before we got past the neurological disorder of wishing for it. That's it. Grow up or die.”

[HaShev]

Explain this:
Nostradamus predicted Mabus using Torah.
I predicted Mabus was Saddam (reverse mirror protected anagram) through interpreting Nosty writings and proved it through the Tanakh matching the emulated verse with the date of his capture.
The messenger of the Lord through the Firey Bush convinces through the firey Bush who Saddam is.
That inspired Bush The reverse opposite & remover of Saddam was part of Yales skull & bones club, which secret passage lock has the word Mabus on the back
of the lock
as the key.

Horse Shit!!

The modern Republican party stands for one thing....tax cuts for the rich and corporations. I was a Republican back in the days of Eisenhower and Nixon when Republicans actually cared about the middle class. Reagan's "Trickle Down" has just about removed the middle class from our culture. They Want It All!!!!!

King James Bible Hebrews Chapter 11
Faith is Being Sure

1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

The Faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah

4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Genesis 15:1-7; Romans 4:1-12; Galatians 3:1-9; James 2:14-26)



8By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

The Faith of Isaac, Jacob, Joseph

20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

The Faith of Moses

23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

Joshua 2:1-14)



31By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38(Of whom the world was not worthy they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

I wouldn't vote for another big spender Republican if my life depended on it. I voted Republican for 30 years....Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon three times. I even voted for Reagan one time till I saw what his racket was all about. They cut taxes and never cut their spending a goddam dime. That means they have to go to foreign banks and borrow the shortfall. Look at the Clinton years. He raised taxes in 1993 while he still had a Democrat congress, balanced the budget and left surpluses projected all the way to a paid up debt. George W. Bush took over and didn't let his shirt tail hit his ass till he cut tax rates for his rich buddies...not once but twice, 2001 and 2003 using reconciliation to block Democrat opposition.

If you cut your income and increase your spending you're gonna go deeper into debt DUUHH!!

Obama assumed the Republican debt and has already had to borrow over two trillion dollars just to pay the annual interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt which was there when he took over. Look at the presidents spending record:

 

[HaShev]

One could say the Clinton lacked foreign policy caused the expenses the Bush administration endured in protecting the country which is where his debt rose.
Those situatuons that arise can not be used as excuses by the next administration who needs to offset thise unseen expenses by cutting budgets not adding to them which is what Obama did.
But since this is the religious forum let's not discuss all the reasons why the debt has gotten out of hand due to slower & lowered flow of taxable incomes necessary in estimating & slating accurate budgets.
To bad there is no outlet for the problem solvers and creative minds who could help avoid these extreme cycles prior to them not after fact when all hope is lost and people end up displacing blame pointing at
everyone but themselves.

Surely you jest. The Republicans had been looking for a reason to invade Iraq since 1993 when Saddam Hussein tried to assassinate GHW Bush in Qatar. Here's a letter they wrote to Bill Clinton in 1998...it couldn't be plainer:

December 18, 1998


The Honorable William J. Clinton
President of the United States
Washington, DC

Dear Mr. President
We are writing you because we are convinced that current American policy toward Iraq is not succeeding, and that we may soon face a threat in the Middle East more serious than any we have known since the end of the Cold War. In your upcoming State of the Union Address, you have an opportunity to chart a clear and determined course
for meeting this threat. We urge you to seize that opportunity, and to enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies around the world. That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor. The policy of containment of Saddam Hussein has been steadily eroding over the past several months. As recent events have
demonstrated, we can no longer depend on our partners in the Gulf War coalition to continue to uphold the sanctions or to punish Saddam when he blocks or evades UN inspections. Our ability to ensure that Saddam Hussein is not producing weapons of mass destruction, therefore, has substantially diminished. Even if full inspections were eventually to resume, which now seems highly unlikely, experience has shown that it is difficult if not impossible to monitor Iraq's chemical and biological weapons production. The lengthy period during which the inspectors will have been unable to enter many Iraqi facilities has made it even less likely that they will be able to uncover all of Saddam's secrets.
As a result, in the not-too-distant future we will be unable to determine with any reasonable level of confidence whether Iraq does or does not possess such weapons. Such uncertainty will, by itself, have a seriously destabilizing effect on the entire Middle East. It hardly needs to be added that if Saddam does acquire the capability to deliver weapons of mass destruction, as he is almost certain to do if we
continue along the present course, the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world's supply of oil will all be put at hazard. As you have rightly declared, Mr. President, the security of the world in the first part of the 21st century will be determined largely by how we handle this threat. Given the magnitude of the threat, the current policy, which depends for its success upon the steadfastness
of our coalition partners and upon the cooperation of Saddam Hussein, is dangerously inadequate.
The only acceptable strategy is one that eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction. In the near term, this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing. In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy. We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your Administration's attention to implementing a
strategy for removing Saddam's regime from power. This will require a full complement of diplomatic, political and military efforts.
Although we are fully aware of the dangers and difficulties in implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far greater. We believe the U.S. has the authority under existing UN
resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interests in the Gulf.
In any case, American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council. We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of
mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk.

Sincerely,

Elliott Abrams Richard L. Armitag William J. Bennett Jeffrey Bergner John Bolton Paula Dobriansky Francis Fukuyama Robert Kagan Zalmay Khalilzad William Kristol Richard Perle Peter W.Rodman

Well, the Democrats have an excellent chance even with Hillary's email sever problems. The Conservative Republican core voters are fed up with the broken promises of the establishment Washington insider Republicans. They have spoken loudly that they will only show up at the polls on election day if and only if one or the other of those candidates who are not currently of the Washington establishment crowd is on the ballot. The core Conservative voter doesn't really see a difference between a Democrat Presidential candidate and a Republican Establishment candidate and will have no part of either.

Corporate tax rates should be cut. It boggles my mind why Democrats insist on taxing corporations at all. Cut out all the corporate income taxes and watch companies flood back to the United States creating millions of jobs.

In the 1940's and 1950's a corporate executive earned about 12-15 times what a carpenter or plumber made. By the 1970's that had changed to about 100 times as much. In 2012 a typical CEO was making 400-500 times as much as an ordinary American worker. Back in the 50's, 60's families owned one car and only the head of the household held a job outside the home. Four or five men car pooled and the woman in the house had the car at her disposal at least 3 or 4 days a week.

Now in many families both parents work, they have two or three vehicles and a $200,000 home mortgage. Those at the top knew what they wanted and now they have it. They set up a board of directors which is often no more than a bunch of YES votes any time they have an idea. That's why even when a company fails the CEO leaves with some kind of golden umbrella and buys a bigger yacht. America has become a tool for the rich and the goddam Republican party has been cutting their own taxes and rigging the game ever since the present arrangement has been in existence. Ronald Reagan was the biggest asshole this country has ever had in the white house and the irony is that until he was an older man he was a Democrat and the president of a union...the Screen Actor's Guild. He began the destruction of the middle class in America and the Bushes put the finishing touches on it. Tax cuts are great when the budget is balanced and the debt is paid and there's surpluses each year but this goddam borrowing trillions from foreign banks and passing it along to the wealthiest Americans borders on insanity!

Once again this is the religious forum, please take your discussion to the political forums. Fact: Clinton had a chance to take out Bin Laden and hesitated and blew his chance=changes the market collapse-recession and debt problems resulting from our failed to act.
There's more to the Saddam thing then meet's your non observant mind.
The Bible shows us what happens in a world with Nebuchadnezar and his son Belshazadar, in which Saddam was emulating. You are seeing what plan the Baath party had all along that Clinton being non religious failed to notice and connect the dots.
The missing Al Gore and Clinton emails
are not missing if the sender has copies.

Explain this:
Nostradamus predicted Mabus using Torah.
I predicted Mabus was Saddam (reverse mirror protected anagram) through interpreting Nosty writings and proved it through the Tanakh matching the emulated verse with the date of his capture.
The messenger of the Lord through the Firey Bush convinces through the firey Bush who Saddam is.
That inspired Bush The reverse opposite & remover of Saddam was part of Yales skull & bones club, which secret passage lock has the word Mabus on the back
of the lock
as the key.

Well, hmmm...Isaac Newton had some pretty far out weird astrological-religio ideas, so I can't assume from that far out weird nonsense of yours that you're a complete idiot. But this is the 21st century, eh?

 

[HaShev]

That's not an explaination, this is an explaination.
The adversary and thief that butchered the Judaic teachings blinded the world into belief that heaven was in death and always existed.
The Judaic teaching was Olam Habah (world to come) perfected life=future to come.
If you perceive a prexisting perfected state in the sky you would be forfeiting working and building the perfected state in our one life we are given and you miss the concept of advanced future intervening with the imperfect past=warnings/guidance=making order out of the chaos.
Stasists can never see and grasp such an advanced future to see the process.
Everything has a process, finding out that process is the difference between mere blind faith or validation.
Ironically this still has to do with the Clintons who after receiving their briefing Bill had a science symposium with Professor Stephen Hawkins admiting technology advanced so sound can now go faster then the speed of light and that's when Hawkins recanted about there being no evidence of time travel (Bible and advancement proved him wrong). You can research that Science Symposium to verify this. That's why I chimed in, I have first hand knowledge about this topic.

I'm kinda nonchalant about the subject of a conversation when I'm responding to someone else's bullshit! The last decent president this country had was Bill Clinton. After eight solid years of the Republicans and Kenneth Starr probing into every aspect of his political and social
life they had to settle for a blowjob like a bunch of high school teen agers. Not to worry...their fiasco only cost the American taxpayers about $100,000,000. Clinton's approval rating has held up pretty good:

Question about your imaginary man in the sky...if he's such hot shit why did he tell George W. Bush to attack a sovereign nation which had no WMD's and had nothing to do with 9/11? That little fiasco cost American citizens a trillion dollars and 4500 young American lives. That god of yours sure has a lot of trouble managing his money...always asking for or taking more. Oh well.....that's about all he's good for....his meeting places and free loading preachers.

I don't believe in prophets and I loathe the ridiculous idea that some self anointing, pre civilized human being had powers the rest of us are missing. I do believe in coincidence. I've posted this at least half a dozen times but these are my heroes:

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own--a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human fraility. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature"
~Dr. Albert Einstein~ (posted in the NY Times)

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding"
~Thomas Jefferson~ (excerpt from a letter to John Adams)
