Yes, and my Church regards Jesus as a human along with most other denominations that I am familiar with, so what's the problem? It's only Atheists with no understanding or imagination who see this as a problem, not Christians and other religious people. Atheists are only using it to attack Christia...

Most people are happy enough being able to say what they think. and few want the right to shout "FIRE" in a crowded cinema, or exhort people to murder. If you want the real deal fuck off and look at Saudi Arabia. This is pure nonsense and babble, caught right in the middle of your lies, t...

What censorship is that?

I think the internet is protecting you from reality.

The American government, for instance, always says that the freedom of speech is essential according to the constitution. However, mostly citizens do not have the right to criticize freely the religions. "Charlie Hebdo" is a newspaper dedicated to the caricatures. What does a caricature m...

That Jesus Christ is God, is one of the major tenets of Christianity. Wrong. Many Christians sects regard Jesus as human. Until the council of Nicaea nearly all Christians regarded him as a man. Any christian can abandon his creed on the simple understanding that Mohammed has surpassed Jesus in his...

You forgot existentialists and philosophers who are thinking hard. And those at the Niceane council because it was a long way from nice and short hop to human nature, who were exterminated almost before they got there, The Nag Hamadi will tell you more about heresy than a smoke and a pancake, look ...

I assume the relevant quote is The missionary efforts made by great Catholic orders which have been occupied in trying to turn Mohammedans into Christians for nearly 400 years have everywhere wholly failed. We have in some places driven the Mohammedan master out and freed his Christian subjects fro...

Next Tuesday I will attend the monthly meeting of the American Chesterton Society at the University Club. The reading to be discussed is THE GREAT HERESIES by Hilaire Belloc. What I found interesting was Belloc’s contention that a permanent power of Islam is its unconvertibility. The missionary eff...

There was no irony intended in what I said. Here is a relevant quote: "Adults are culpable if they mess things up by being thoughtless, insensitive, reckless, impulsive, shortsighted, and by assuming that what suits them will suit everyone instead of taking a more objective viewpoint. They are...

So you don't have Free Speech then? Where does it end? Any militant group only has to commit some atrocity to get its own way? No, you should know that most countries has very elaborate limits on "freedom of speech", get real. Only elaborate to a moron. Most people are happy enough being ...

Nice post, I don't masturbate to relieve myself of anything but the rock rolling that is life, when anxiety builds wanking seems apt. "That which does not kill us makes us stranger." or to put it in English, there's utility in almost anything. If we ever have the grace to learn from it. B...

Unconscious motor responses don't seem to require any higher level cognitive abilities. That is not the case with examples of excellence. Drumming and piano playing require unconscious viceral knowledge of the instruments; the score, and a deep emotional commitment to the music. People without high...
