People use Karma in the context that if you do bad things, you will end up getting a suitable reward. Sometimes that happens, but there are others who die in luxury.

Its now more fashionable to believe in : Ghosts Aliens Fortune tellers, Clairvoyants, or Mediums Essential Oils. Magic Astrology Numerology Cryptids Karma None of its more viable than the mumbo jumbo religions push.

Its illegal by modern standards. Anyone as old as me probably remembers a pr0n star called Traci Lords. ( Big scandal , she was in the news and went on to make some mainstream movies.). Essentially most of her films are illegal because she faked her age and made them at the age of 16. She was...

Its a losing battle where they try to choose sides against science. Creation vs Evolution for example. They could easily adjust their narrative so that the "adam and eve" scenario was figurative rather than literal , and that god produced the conditions that would create life. But no , lets...

No. But he wasn't happy about the Church having any power over the state. Some claim that he was. He was a politician who thought tactically. You get all those US Politicians who all believe in god, do they really or do they recognise that they need to go through the motions to be successful...

Jesus was allowed to override the old testiment. Christians were Jews who believed that jesus was the foretold Messiah. What the Messiah says rules. Jews are the remainder who said " he's not the messiah , he's a very very naughty boy".

Religion belongs in the days when it was hard to explain to someone why it was just wrong to kill the guy next door and take his donkey. The easiest way to respond to the "why not " question was..."ummm god will punish you". Science itself is not "moral or amoral", it is the knowledge of the...

https://blog.adw.org/2017/03/marriage-family-time-jesus/ Call to marriage and engagement – Marriage took place at a young age for the ancient Jews. Most rabbis proposed 18 as the most appropriate age for men to be married, but it wasn’t uncommon for them to be younger, especially in times of...

How many other years did you dream it?

Just turn up on new years, and give us something more spectacualar than fireworks. Would be a hit.

Perhaps he should have used "unevolved" to make it easier for you to understand.

I'm White i suppose. Kind of racist of you to consider that I , and any other white would need to denounce the actions of every white psycho in the world. Its not like we all go to secret white meetings and decide what actions our white brethren should do this week. Similarly i have not found...

Which is why the USA had a habit of setting up some pretty dodgy regimes.

Does it depend on the Pastor/Priest? https://www.reuters.com/world/vatican-approves-blessings-same-sex-couples-under-certain-conditions-2023-12-18/

Yeah i've know some very moderate Muslims. But is that moderation accepted by their clerics? The original post was talking about a "moderate Muslim voice".

But its not true of Christianity in general. Yes you can have hard core Christianity that clings to every word of the old testament. But its not true of Christianity in general. There are heaps and heaps of moderate Christians, and the church has adapted accordingly. That why i made the comment...

Maybe the punishments can vary. I believe that most Catholics survived confession.

It can't be , i went into a Mosque in the UK , and i'm sure that everyone except me was a Muslim.

Their "City" with Muslim government is this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamtramck,_Michigan#:~:text=In%20November%202015%2C%20Hamtramck%20became,have%20an%20all%2DMuslim%20government. No its not Michigan. No its not Detroit. No its not Dearborn. It would be like Sydney suburb...

Padme was probably like an English noblewoman, when her partner came back from some war in Africa. Thinking , "oh here we go talking about work again ". I'm thinking that Ani was on the spectrum. Now. The situation in Gaza over a long time, means that a lot of the population are like Anaken...

Why would Israel respond to such an attack by creating a modern secular state? That's kind of reaction would be just pure fantasy. They are locked in Gaza , and i agree that's not good. Why do you think the Egyptians don't have an open border with Gaza?

So October 7 is a trigger that means Israel should withdraw from the place and ....idk go back to Vulcan or something, and the Palestinians will be free. Sounds like a great plan made while very sober. What was October 7 "meant" to achieve?

There is right and wrong. There is also cause and effect. The raid / murders / kidnappings instigated by Hamas was the cause of the current situation. ( I agree that the Israeli's should withdraw ). The raid / murders /kidnappings instigated by Hamas, was unlikely to cause new freedoms to the...

European's just happened to have the military/technological advantage at the time. They weren't any worse than any other people back then, they just happened to have the ability. I wouldn't go suggesting that African nations were pacifists prior to European colonisation. They fought amongst...

Oh wow, so now its restitution for ancestral crimes. I guess we're all guilty.

What about Muslim Vietnamese?

Ahead of the curve is a reference to average, where it suggests that , if you graphed a curve of average results, you are ahead of them. ie more advanced or progressive. Ahead of the curb means you are standing on the road and will probably get hit by a bus, and you are not ahead of the curve.

It the largest religion in Bosnia but they still have this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarajevo_Pride Gets some protests but then the Catholics probably aren't happy either.

You're all over the place with this one, but they didn't just let criminals off the boat without any control. Not really relevant anyway, its a couple of hundred years out of date and most Australians now are not descended from convicts.

You could argue a Tasmanian ethnicity based on that.
