if fear is a demon, why can an electrode in the brain create the emotional and even physical reactions of fear?

"Fear brings bondage”
I teach for a living. I taught in the Navy, both when i filled an instructor billet and when we taught divisional-, department-, or crew-level training, on five sea-going commands. I got hired as an instructor for the place that builds the systems i used to work on. I can’t begin to count how many times i’ve been on platform in front of a group of 1 to 70 people. 45 years of instructing.
Every. Single. Time. When i start to teach a unit, i have fear. If it was a demon, she’d be bored by now, knowing i was just going to blaze through it and teach anyway. It’s just a bodily response to stimulus.

“Riddle me this:”
Always makes me think of the fanfic where Spiderman changes places with Batman. And drives batman’s villains crazy with disrespect. “I prefer knock-knock jokes.”

"What did people do between the time infant humans began randomly excreting waste--which continues on to this day--and the invention of diapers (textiles).”
I have heard of a tribe that doesn’t nail down the wood boards of their floors. Their kids tend to go naked. After enough shit collects on the floor, they turn the boards over and it all falls to the crawl space below.
Might ask, ‘how did people deal with shit through history’ and the answer is, ‘however they had to.’

"Nothing suited to the task exists in nature.”
What, people can’t wash leather?

“If evolution can't explain that, it's worthless!”
Evolution is the change in DNA over time, not the change in hygiene.

In addition to providing less entertainment, ending color has also been shown to have numerous benefits for children. It can help to improve kill motors and tiny, creative fin contractions. So recon some gay crabs and let your child's coloration run wild with our fully AI-imagined generating book. It's a unique and expressing way for them to exit themselves and have fun!

I'd say that the #fundie tag is absolutely appropriate for this if you or another mod wants to add it. Crypto is absolutely a religion at this point. Hell, they take the value of their Internet play money on faith alone. I’d also even argue that most AI bros engage in religious thinking when it comes to AI and technology in general.

“It outrages God when we humans refuse to give Him the glory that He rightly deserves and God deserves the glory for everything.”
I just farted. GLORY TO GOD for gastric bacteria. And undigested sugars.
School was closed today because there was a huge fire across the street. GLORY TO GOD for kids with lungs susceptible to smoke inhalation, and the resultant work hours lost by parents that had to go home and get their kids.
The new manager’s office is in New Mexico. But he says no one in his unit, which is in Massachusetts, can work remotely. GLORY TO GOD for hypocritical assholes in charge!
My wife gets a knee replacement next week. GLORY TO GOD for outliving our warantees.

“but spiritually, it reeks of Antichrist symbolism.”
When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

“Religion assumes to be true based on the thousands of writings supporting it.”
And editing. Lots of Christain writings were lost when the editors chose the books to include in the Bible. Gnosticism, for example, didn’t survive the process. And we’re TOLD that God wrote or inspired what’s left.

"Evolution assumes to be true”
Meh. ‘Best theory so far’ is not the same as ‘Truth.’
“based on the thousands of writings supporting it.”
Nope. It’s what they’re written ABOUT that evolution rests upon. All those scientific observations.

"Religion offers a liberty, freedom from evil and its damnation.”
Not really a liberty, though. You have to obey very strict rules.

“Evolution offers a liberty, freedom from "GOD" and the "holiness" "HE" requires.”
A blatant lie. Only creationists think evolution says ANYTHING about gods or religion. Science doesn’t DO the supernatural, so it doesn’t say SHIT about god or holiness.

"Religion assumes the ultimate wisdom, and that all opposition lack wisdom.”
But it’s not really religion. The bible lists sins, with no real explanation why they’re sinful. So there’s no way to actually apply acquired wisdom to situations that the bible authors didn’t anticipate.

“Evolution assumes the ultimate knowledge,"
No scientist does this. Everything in the textbooks is falsifiable or it’s not science.

"Religion offers enlightenment. Claiming all opposition is in ignorance and/or denial.”
As long as religion gets to define enlightenment.

“Evolution offers enlightenment. Claiming all opposition is in ignorance and/or denial.”
Knowing what evolution actually is allows us to see just how fucking ignorant the arguments against it really are. Such as the above.

“Is not Evolution just another religion/faith?”
A very carefully curated and selective list comparing the two to promote an agenda, not to seek the truth. And also, lies. So, no.

"Abrahamic theism grows right along with it, and atheism loses power at every turn.”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. That’s why atheist counseling centers are closing right and left and Christains keep building new churches from the growing congregations.

“I think atheists have the lowest divorce rate because atheist marriages are easier than trying to live a holy marriage blessed by God.”
That might be true. There are only two people that need to be satisfied in my marriage, not three. And we’re equal, not the lower two rungs of a ladder.
And i married an adult.

"Married Christians have to work hard and sacrifice to meet the requirements set by God for marriage.”
Right, right, it’s not hard work for anyone else to stay together, nope.

"Atheists can have affairs and it doesn't matter because there is nothing requiring them to be faithful.”
Such a horrible lie. I made a promise to my wife to be faithful. I’m sure your word only matters to you because God will punish you for breaking it, but mine is important to me. Also, i don’t want to hurt her. Also also, i don’t want her pouring boiling tea in my lap.

"Atheists can demand little or nothing of their spouse so there is less conflict.”
We have conflict. But we hve always resolved the conflict (see above, ‘married a grownup’)

“It's the easy way out and where life is easy one will find Satan.”
Then why havent’ i cheated on her for 40 years? Including a dozen visits to foreign ports while deployed?
Pretty sure she hasn’t cheated on me, either. No obectiv e proof, but I’m satisfied.

"Satan paves the road of ease.”
Then he should be plowing my driveway in the winter!

“God paves the holier way with troubles that have to be overcome.”
Such a pompous piece of projecting shit you are. Have you MET an atheist couple?

Pi10107 #fundie

“Yes, atheists are evil.”
Meh. I’ve been called worse.

“They want to get rid of anything Christian, all churches, the Bible, all morality, God, etc.”
Oh, hardly. First of all, that’s against the 1st Amendment. 2nd, not all morality is Christain. Actually, since the last three election cycles, no morality is Christain. Just racism and power grabs.

"Evil to the core.”
But at least i chew with my mouth closed.

“Removing God is destroying the country.”
I’m watching people DIE because selfish bastards at taking away money, medicine, and choice in the name of GOD. Fuck you.

“You need to understand that true Christians do not force anyone to become a Christian.”
But after 9/11, plenty of Christains said we should invade thos countries, kill their leaders, and FORCE them to become Christains. Not sure how I’m supposed to tell which ones are real Christains and which ones are not. They all insist they’re real.

“No one can do that.”
The inquisition had a pretty good track record of converting people.

“Atheists want to force everyone to reject God. That's a fact.”
No, sweetie. That’s what’s called a LIE. I really don’t care if you worship god or not. Just don’t coerce me to LIVE as if i worship your skybuddy. Like forbidding liquor sales on a day i don’t celebrate as a sabbath. Or denying my wife’s abortion because you think she should die for the baby. Or voting Medicare out because you wouldn’t know the Sermon on the Mount if it was tattooed on your dick.

“If you people think that a plant or tree with no lungs to inhale gasses, or exhale gases is possible,”
By ‘you people’ i have to assume you mean anyone that got at least as far as the third grade in public school. Yes, trees ‘breathing’ is possible.

"then you are either very deceived, or officially brain dead.”
You’re really not in a position to talk DOWN to anyone else, moron.

“There are no organs to create any kind of breathing function whatsoever”
I think you should LEAF this topic alone. Whatever branch of science you’re FROND of, you haven’t twigged to the reality of this process. Leaving you looking like something of a sap.

“I was curious why do you tend to see black people giving their children "African" names”
See, i’d have stopped that sentence right there. Don’t need six examples, especially made-up, mocking, racist shit pulled out of your ass, to ask the question. Unless you’re not really asking the question but want a talking point to be racist about.

“I was also curious what the status of these names were among the larger black community?”
What fucking business is it of yours?

“Do these "African" names belong to only a minority of the population? Are the people who have those names looked down upon?”
I think you’re projecting just the teeniest bit.

“Don't these parents realize that the hideous name they give their kid will be on the top of every resume/job application they ever send in?”
Not everyone is as embarrassed of African heritage as you would be.

"Don't they realize no respectable employer is going to hire their kid so they can answer the phone and say, "Hello, thanks for calling Business X, this is 'Vaginita' how can I help you?"”
More projecting.
Actually, ‘respectable’ businesses wouldn’t discriminate based on the race of someone’s name. YOU would, but you’re a twatwaffle.
Also, weird that blacks seeking employment are only considered for receptionists.

“A (presumably) trans person being scared of a biology book.”
Maybe if it’s published in 1924. The science is actually entirely on the transgendered side.

“A communist being scared of a economics book.”
The communist would be afraid of the history book. No matter how good the arguments, or the ideals of communism, the people implementing it have always been…less than ideal.

“A BLM member being scared of a statistics book.”
Same book would scare the shit out of an NRA member.

“Your word proof pre-defines a need for evidence.”
Yes. I need objective reasons to believe that what you’re talking about is not total bullshit.

“Evidence or proof is subjective ...”
Uh….no. Evidence is always there, no matter what your ideology. the conclusions are subjective, but feel free to show how the conclusions do not build upon any evidence submitted.

“which you may find surprising but i think your getting close to by nature of your question.”
Uh huh….

“If you want actual evidence of a creator.... then i suggest you spend your time making peanut butter sandwiches as this is not goin”g to happen. In a Scientific sense.”
Well, there’s no scientific support for the supernatural by the nature of science.
I just want a reason to believe that isn’t presuppositionist.

"if you want evidence or proof of a God in a spiritual sense then you have two choices ...
- Trust the experiences of others”
Problem is, the experiences of others are contradictory.

"Open your heart out to experience it yourself”
But the questions that drove me from the church remain, no matter what my experiences are.

“The ball is in your court .... not ours.”
Unless you want the rest of us to live as if we share your beliefs.

“If you believe the earth is millions or billions of years old, you “believe” science.”
You say that like it’s a problem, but you SAY it on the INTERNET.

"You don’t “know” the age of the earth.”
Never claimed to know better than or to have a more direct source than current thinking of the fucking experts, no.

"You “trust” what you’ve been told by fallible men and fallible dating processes.”
Then feel free to point out where they failed, Bananaman. Unless and until then, it’s still the best estimate available.

“Your convictions rest entirely on faith.”
Doesn’t make it wrong. Although ‘trust’ would be a better word than faith. The Scientific Method and the Peer Review process seems to produce results, so seems useful.

“Each object has a purpose.”
Yours apparently is to shit on everything.

“The purpose of femoids is to cum on it and fuck it. Pretty much just for sexual pleasure.”
Hmm. My last cardiologist was a woman. I trusted her with my heart more than i’d trust you with two dollars to go get me a Coke from the vending machine.

"This means that femoids aren’t any better than household objects.”
You need to cite your source, though, so we can evaluate your bullshit.

“Also they lack the intelligence of a human being or even an animal.”
Comma needed after ‘also’ in that sentence.

"All they really are is just holes to be nutted in.”
Says the guy who’s NEVER been allowed to nut in a hole. Pretty much identifies your spot in the hierarchy. Down below the worms.

“If I pray to God to kill you, naturally He's not going to listen to my prayer!”
This would be the god that sent two bears to ‘tare up’ 42 kids for taunting a prophet, right? Just checking.

“If I don't pray in accordance to His will, of course He's not going to answer my prayers!”
So, your dick of a god wanted to bears to tare up kids.

“If your kids ask for stupid things, will you give them what they want?”
And then watch them learn their lesson, often, yes.

“If your kids ask for things that are good for them, wouldn't you always try to give what's good to them?”
This whole analogy breaks down when you ask, if my kids break my rules, do i throw them into the furnace?

“Do you understand now, how God is like a parent or you still wish to see God as a Genie in the Bottle?”
Bible says that if you’re a good enough Christain, you’ll get whatever you want from God if you ask. About three places.

Billy and the Magic of Bitcoin: A fully AI generated story colouring book for kids
This fully AI-generated children's coloring book is a one-of-a-kind experience for young artists ages 4-8.

I know times are different nowadays, but still, do 4- to 8-year-olds give a shit about Bitcoin, if they even know what it is? I mean, when I was a 4 to 8 year old kid in the early 80s, I wouldn’t have been interested in a coloring book about “Charlie and the Checking Account”, ya know?

Ever found yourself wondering, "What's the secret sauce that makes Andrew Tate such a powerhouse?"

No, but I presume mostly a mix of anabolic steroids with a generous admixture of other doping drugs, cocaine, methamphetamine, caffeine, Viagra and various more-than-dubious snake oils. But whatever it is, that sauce definitively is not good for you.

J.K.Rowling and followers #transphobia #sexist #psycho

In other words, you are motivated not by humanistic values such as egalitarianism and empathy, but in a collective selfish struggle for power for your in-group, and indeed, you completely reject basic human respect to all Others.
This is why so many feminists rebuke you. This is why the fascists have wrapped you around their fingers.

a billionaire and can't be bought

Bullshit!
In general, anyone who would set out to be a billionaire is almost certainly strongly motivated by exceptional greed. In the specific, Trump has, throughout his life, consistently shown himself as the very embodiment of an undisciplined spendthrift, dishonest salesman and corrupt crook - to the point that there are strong rumours that the KGB deemed him a possible asset.
It is very naive to think that billionaires cannot be bought. It is absurd beyond words to think that phony billionaire Donald Trump cannot be bought.

'Misery' was a box office success, making $41.3 million in profit and winning Kathy Bates an Academy Award for Best Actress. In fact, 'Misery' is the only Stephen King film to ever win an Oscar.

So if 'Misery' accomplished all this while ignoring the Motion Picture Production Code, Hollywood would be wise to continue ignoring it.

Falsehoods and lies are demonic therefore US foundation far-right anti-consitution mythology is demonic and the violation of the separation of church and state is evil. (Disclaimer: a mix of facts and sarcasm)

Outside of sarcasm, such elitist assholery serves to justify abuses and to promote persecution, while hypocritically fueling on a delusory persecution complex.
