We are beginning to be over run with them in Idaho. Idaho had way to many elk, and deer when they reintroduced the wolf, and I listened to the arguments to do so. I was surprised by the lack of knowledge of the natural cycle that would happen. The wolfs had so many groceries they multiplied rapidly, and now have become to plentiful. So now its becoming cattle and sheep, and before long dogs and cats. I think the reintroduction was a good idea but the problems that Idaho is experiencing was predictable. They sure are not endangered in Idaho, and probably Montana, though I have little knowledge of Montana.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042662884794386867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-31765963139599788342011-05-16T19:29:44.071-04:002011-05-16T19:29:44.071-04:00Yea, that article says more about how people are p...Yea, that article says more about how people are passing their abilities on to their kids and I think the religion part just happens to tag along. <br /><br />Jewish doctors and lawyers have kids who turn into Jewish doctors and lawyers, you say?<br /><br />Well, you coulda knocked ME over with a feather!<br /><br />NOT.pboyfloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475980562742243007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-9939105439194230612011-05-16T18:03:09.535-04:002011-05-16T18:03:09.535-04:00Jerry, when you really think about it, the most af...Jerry, when you really think about it, the most affluent, most sucessful religion, reform judeaism, is that way simply because they tend to be the smartest and most educated people.

I did not know secularism is considered a religion. <br /><br /><br />The most affluent of the major religions — including secularism — is Reform Judaism. Sixty-seven percent of Reform Jewish households made more than $75,000 a year at the time the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life collected the data, compared with only 31 percent of the population as a whole. Hindus were second, at 65 percent, and Conservative Jews were third, at 57 percent.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042662884794386867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-86687735671851954402011-05-16T13:43:01.991-04:002011-05-16T13:43:01.991-04:00Well, calling me a believer would be like me calli...Well, calling me a believer would be like me calling you a dogfucker, but okay...<br /><br />So you're saying that I believe that people are evil. Hmm. As opposed to whether I only think they are evil. Hmmm. <br /><br />Nope. I think they're evil. In fact, it's not even that big a deal to me. You're forgetting how I define evil jerry. I'm using a word, not getting emotional here. I'm categorizing those who are redeemable as not-evil but deceived, and those who are beyond ever recovering from their delusion, those who are the 'lifetime-deceived' as evil since if you think of them that way you'll not run into so many problems. They will always disappoint you, is the point. They're evil. But not Evil. Get it? You're thinking of Evil. I'm saying evil. <br />Now some of them are so bad it SEEMS that they are Evil, but that's only cause they try so hard.Saint Brian the Godlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902151482640409544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-15919361054974415822011-05-16T13:35:29.164-04:002011-05-16T13:35:29.164-04:00Is Your Religion Your Financial Destiny?

Let me try again. You have a basic though people can be evil. That colors your thinking and the results are not to your liking. It is a belief, not a fact, if what you think, people can be evil, and it is a belief not a fact people are not evil but do evil deeds. The point that I am trying to make is what does holding the different beliefs result in. Since there is direct consequences for holding one belief as opposed to the other, I think it important to understand the results. The first, and most apparent result is blaming others for one's anger. Other people do not cause one to be anger, one causes oneself to be anger directly linked to the thought pattern one holds. In other words you are causing your own anger. If I blame another person for my anger I am giving the other person control over my feelings, if I own that I am causing my anger by thinking certain thoughts, then I am in control of my emotions, anger or whatever the feeling is. As example is how I see the pope. I can calmly think about the pope without any anger or I can get very angry depending on my thought patterns, and the pope has nothing to do with it, just my thoughts. The reason I use the pope is because I consider him the lowest form of human life on the planet. Much lower that bin Laden, or others of that ilk.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042662884794386867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-75964378654062195252011-05-16T02:55:42.241-04:002011-05-16T02:55:42.241-04:00This willful ignorance of things scientific, this ...This willful ignorance of things scientific, this 'you think you're so smart but you don't know everything' attitude, is, I think, the reason my mom died of lung cancer even though she didn't smoke.<br /><br />At the time I just felt bad for her and it wasn't until recently that I remembered finding DMSO in her bathroom and complaining to her that it could hurt her really bad.<br /><br />But someone, 'her kind of person' had told her it was good for her and she explained to me in no uncertain terms that it was none of MY business.<br /><br />Still, I remember getting through to her one time. We were getting ready to go vote and I asked her if she thought that her grand-daughter ought to be put in jail if the police found a joint in her purse.<br /><br />Normally my mom would have scoffed at the idea of the Marijuana Party, but I think, putting it in terms of possible consequences to someone she loved actually made a breakthrough.<br /><br />Trouble is that people who think like my mother are easily swayed by the story. They love an anecdote by which they can come to some conclusion that they always knew they knew, whether they had any thoughts on the subject before or not.<br /><br />All it would have taken for my mom to vote for the most 'law and order' candidate would have been a friend of my mom telling the horrible story of how her kid was robbing her blind to get dope.<br /><br />I believe that most people, working people, people getting through each day thinking that if they 'do good' then good will come back to them are easily swayed by anecdotes, basically gossip.<br /><br />How much easier is it for a person to be affronted that anyone could be related to a monkey than to actually think about what evolution is about?pboyfloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475980562742243007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-41817878782113339072011-05-16T02:15:35.602-04:002011-05-16T02:15:35.602-04:00It's depressing to be bringing up a young son ...It's depressing to be bringing up a young son in this country. <br /><br />His future looks a lot bleaker than it did when he was born. <br /><br />He'll be two in june.

That suits us now. That more accurately reflects who we are, who we've become as a nation. <br /><br />It fits. <br /><br />In fact I'm finding that I wish it gets so bad that republicans are practically hunted down in the streets for it.

So that would permeate all thoughts, and how we look at ourselves as well as how we see each other.<br />----------<br />Yup. That's how I see it. And it does. Permeates all thoughts because all thoughts are seen through the filter of self-aggrandizement and self-righteousness and narcissism and egotism etc. So even good deeds that may be done are done for the wrong reasons. The evil is literally in every thought and deed. Because all thoughts are warped by them not believing in reality. They are belief-based. It permeates everything they do and say and think. <br /><br />Oh, and by metaphysical, I mean it in the old sense of 'near physics' or near to reality (but not) as in, supernatural. The realm of the spirit. A spiritual evil. Like as in, the devil and hell and all that drivel. I don't buy into metaphysical evil. It's all psychological.Saint Brian the Godlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902151482640409544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-38736773890878044682011-05-15T16:31:30.297-04:002011-05-15T16:31:30.297-04:00If I have the proper understanding of the definiti...If I have the proper understanding of the definition of metaphysical I am not into that. My understanding from what I have read is that it only goes for the inner life and considers the outer life as an illusion. By the same token I understand many think only the outer life is real and the inner life is an illusion. I think it is the balance of the two viewpoints that produce reality. From what I understand atheist for the most part is in the latter viewpoint. I think I understand your saying it is splitting hairs, however it is certainly not that way for me. I consider the difference between a person not being evil, but be able to do evil vs people being evil as being extreme viewpoints. The way I look at the thoughts we think as an inverted pyramid. One thought on the base with two at the next level, and so on up to the surface level of thinking that has a wide rage of thoughts. If people can actually be evil that would be a very basic philosophical idea, and color every thought above it.

To truly believe that believing in God and Jesus and praying to them is enough to stop that cancer or heal your body in any tangible way, you have to dismiss the skill of the doctor any time he prescribes the right medicine or cuts out the bad parts and give the credit to Jesus.<br /><br />They even explain that in their jokes. God sent people to pick up the man stuck in a flood, it was the lack of buying a ticket that the Jew couldn't win that lottery, scientists can't find God 'cos HE's laughing at them while hiding behind that mountain, and so forth.<br /><br />As science cuts off any hope that there is a spiritual realm, the last thing to be done is deny the validity of science itself, and there are plenty of scientifically illiterate people to cheer you on.<br /><br />2+2 can indeed be 5, if enough people are willing to believe it can be.pboyfloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475980562742243007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376937841692070856.post-66506666963758706612011-05-15T01:48:02.484-04:002011-05-15T01:48:02.484-04:00Splitting hairs.
