"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."
Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider - founder Club of Rome - The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

IS THIS LITTLE GUY A PERSON?
The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science On Society (Routledge Press: New York, 1951).
"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

1. Troops Out Of Iraq Immediately. Like By Monday. 2. Money Owed To Haliburton and War Contractors Be Given Directly To The Iraqi People 3. Complete Electoral Reform 4. No Corporate Conglomerate Will Be Allowed To Control More Than 5% Of News Market 5. Federal Reserve Abolished 6. For-Profit Prison Industry Abolished
*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

religion combines the best elements of science and sport.
it requires talent, knowledge, application, training, practice, and dedication.
its objectives are very definite and material.
the results obtained by its practitioners are objective and can be fairly easily measured.
Denmark Vesey has demonstrated a modicum of talent.
Denmark Vesey abuses his talent to artfully package his own undisciplined moral biases and saccharine sentimentality as "God", spirituality, and religiosity.
Denmark Vesey has demonstrated - beyond any shadow of a doubt - that he knows absolutely nothing about the sweet science of religious praxis.
While not stooping to the level of Lennon Honor's predatory memetic hustle - Denmark Vesey sews confusion, ignorance, and false hopes and expectations in the minds of suggestible folk who've been grievously miseducated about the scientific and practical dimensions of the religious vocation.
Everytime he fixes his mouth to talk about this subject, Denmark Vesey does vastly more harm than good.
Ric Flair…Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
The Emperor’s clothes have been surgically sliced too thin to wear. He now stands fully exposed to the whole world.
Craig what are those results?
"Denmark Vesey has" ... been school for you since day 1.
"Denmark Vesey has" ... brought soul and life to the cold clinical cul de sac of your bitter Malthusian ravings.
"Denmark Vesey has" ... demonstrated that children less than 6 years old are indeed more than "globs of cells".
"Denmark Vesey has" ... demonstrated to this particular polysyllabic player hater that the gnosticism he calls "religion" is nothing more than occult dogma and secular fanaticism.
"Denmark Vesey has" ... recognized that CNulan's "education" was actually an indoctrination designed to lead him to the conclusion "there is no God".
God is foreign and remote to CNulan because he has about as much soul as an exhausted abortionist.
Denmark Vesey laughs at Nerdy Negros who "know" everything about religion but can't feel God.
Any "knowledge" that makes one a cheerleader for late term abortions is knowledge one can do without.
Sub,
The Church has long maintained public criteria by which one's spiritual athleticism and accomplishments can be measured.
Of course, they're not alone.
Buddhists also practice spiritual athleticism and maintain a catalog of signs of accomplishment, as also religiously observant Jews, Muslims - and others.
Of course you think I'm teasing by giving you such a far-reaching catalog.
I'm not.
Rather, I'm pointing out to you the common practice among the genuinely religious of establishing and maintaining a catalog of criteria by which accomplishment can be measured.
The internal measures used among authoritative practicitioners are really all that matters. As these tend to not be publicly disclosed, i.e., they're always occulted - you can/should consider the external status awarded to selected individuals to signify their level of accomplishment as acknowledged by their peers.
Like with belts awarded in contemporary sport martial arts.
On page 90, (18 pages into the pdf) you can see for yourself the description of what is required to access what would be universally acknowledged as the domain of "religious" experience. The knowledge, skill, ability, and rarely - natural talent - required to achieve such a neurological state is the baseline around which all of this revolves.
Since we know that none of these yammering, stammering, moralizing evangelists can access this domain of experience, all they're on about here is their personally held and culturally imposed opinions re personal conduct or morality. That these same individuals and the collectives that they miseducate are also on about the authoritarian imposition of their morality on as many others as possible, in my opinion, that makes these folks;
A. Not religious
B. Dangerous
C. A social and political liability.
Denmark Vesey laughs at Nerdy Negros who "know" everything about religion but can't feel God.
rotflmbao...,
Simmer down youngster.
I know that you know that CNu is God's right hand man.
Why you think I allow you to serve as the instrument of Grace's dispensation?
Same ole same ole I know about this because I read it in a book mantra. Some things cannot be known in our plane of existence at this time. Accept it or sound like fool.

This was a thought-provoking statement. That's a good way of putting it.
Big Man,
Religious folks have ALWAYS suffered from the predations of frauds, apostates, and plain old jealous haters.
Just like any other science, however, religious science requires talent, knowledge, application, training, practice, and dedication.
Disregard every Constantinian abomination you've ever been taught and reread the gospels carefully Big Man.
How many times (in a red letter edition) is Jesus reported to have said something about those "with ears to hear and eyes to see"?
Why did Jesus have to "teach" the apostles how to pray?
Who taught you how to pray?
How would you know if you're doing it correctly?
CNulan
Didn't you answer your question before you asked it?
Didn't you answer your question before you asked it?
I know the limits of what passes for Christianity in the popular domain Big Man.
I've taken the measure of the off-balance arguments you've offered Fisher.
Instead of drawing firm conclusions or making assumptions, I thought I'd just ask you a few things point blank.
I understand your reticence about truthfully answering any of them given the strenuous claims you've made concerning prayer and your own beliefs caught between a rock and hard place given the simultaneous interrogatory coming from a skeptic and a true-believer.
Whether you answer my questions or not, for your own sake as a Christian aspirant, I hope you will study and act constructively in response to the very serious and straightforward provocations I've offered here today.
