I see what you're trying to do there And neither I can venture a guess why would you ask that out of my postfelter wrote:So what you are saying is you would rather hear a lie as it made you feel better than hearing the truth as the truth normally hurts.
But to objectively answer your question: I'm not saying these on my behalf, or it represents my belief, I simply stated what happened.
And what is lie, what is truth? Who are you to given yourself the audacity to declare which is which? After all for most, including yourself and me, truth is simply what we believe in, and lie is what we don't. There are enough people who disagree with you to make a difference, in the end that is what matter. I'm just saying, willing to look at the issue directly for what it is rather trying to find excuses for it, maybe that would be a good start to determine the 'truth'.
I will say this though: Trump becoming a president was a truth that many refused to believe it's a reality that could ever come to be. (Just ask Morkonan ). If you want to talk about painful truth, than feel free to have a bit of the poison.

Not a fan of the Bene Gesserit myself. They come across as nothing more than a bunch of manipulative bastards that care only about power.
Mind you this is the Trump thread so I can sort of see the connection. Although I have to say the witches were supposed to be physically quite good looking whereas the President not so much.
As for the "Litany against Fear" I remember thinking on first reading it what complete codswallop it is. If you're already afraid of something the very last thing you want to do is tell yourself that your own fear is dangerous. Fear level now doubled.

Agreed. Or, perhaps, preserving their own power. Sort of an analogue for certain forms of organized religion.brucewarren wrote:Not a fan of the Bene Gesserit myself. They come across as nothing more than a bunch of manipulative bastards that care only about power.
Keep in mind that the Bene Gesserit would probably not want to support a single man in such a position of power, given that he could turn on them at any moment, just like Trump does.Mind you this is the Trump thread so I can sort of see the connection.

Fear is not "you." It's separate and being separate, you can refuse it. Or something like that.As for the "Litany against Fear" I remember thinking on first reading it what complete codswallop it is.

Yeah, it doesn't come off too well if you parse it down. Though, it's still emphasizing the theme that fear is a "thing." It's not some intrinsic quality that is inseparable from any set of circumstances.

It will be interesting to hear what he is now going to say, he probably had a contract with the government so I suspect it all depends on what that contract says about being dismissed. I suspect a lot of the chat shows are currently trying to book him to get at all of the dirt, I suspect he wouldn't have been able to appear on them while he had been an acting agent, now he is a free agent. So it could be interesting or not.

Dude. Stop. Strzok is not a man to idolize. Attacking Pence for being religious is not okay. Get your hate under control. You are biased. You are actively looking for things to be outraged about. You are consuming biased content to fuel this. Step back from your feelings already. Man up and just go on about your life. Your perception of reality is going to get so skewed by Trump derangement syndrome that you'll end up marching down the street in a vagina suit. No one wants that.BugMeister wrote:this is bloody outrageous..

In all fairness, if he lives in the United states he has his right to free speech and should be able to run down the street in a vagina suit if he wants, barring he isn't impinging on the rights of others or breaking any lawsMasterbagger wrote:Dude.

just to prod Betsy's conscience a bit: you're not only avoiding tax controls by banking off-shore, madam..
https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... verfishing
it's all about avoiding regulations, isn't it, madam..?
you sure run with a rough crowd - do you not, madam..?
- meanwhile, Drumpf continues to systematically remove his opponents:

Saying someone is a bible basher is hardly attacking him for being religious at least if Urban Dictionary can be trusted with the definition.Masterbagger wrote:[...]Attacking Pence for being religious is not okay. [...]
Let us not forget the Pence constantly tries to push his religious views onto everyone else, for example he wants gays to undergo therapy to make them hetero.Urban Dictionary wrote:[...]A Bible Basher is someone who constantly goes around forcing the word of the bible on everyone else, and claims that everything BUT the Bible is evil.[...]
This makes for a great copy paste the next time someone posts a Breitbart article or a Stefan Molyneux video.Masterbagger wrote:[...]Dude. Stop. [...]You are biased. [...]You are consuming biased content to fuel this. Step back from your feelings already. Man up and just go on about your life.[...]

ermm why not? Firstly freedom of speach etc, secondly he avowedly believes in an unprovable fiction (you might say fantasy), and he's the US Vice President who will step up should Trump succumb to too many McDonalds or impeachment. Though I suspect the former is more likely.....Masterbagger wrote:Attacking Pence for being religious is not okay.
I would think that challenging his views is required.
EDIT: Silly spelling mistake .

Challenging peoples views is important when they are looking to take public office. Even more so for religious people and religious views. Their belief may be a harmless or dangerous delusion, which ever one it is it should be carefully examined to ensure they doesn't prompt the person to make decisions while in office which could be harmful.Masterbagger wrote:Attacking Pence for being religious is not okay.

Even moreso? Why is it more important to examine their religious views?
How about their ethical or moral ones? What about their sexuality? That's evern moreso important, since if they're really into animals they might make laws that force people to eat broccoli or something...
The point being that as long as they do not act in a manner contrary to "the Greater Good," act within the Law, and always respond to "the Will of the People," they are free to have whatever personal beliefs they like.
So, if a religious person is elected to office, one must be doubly sure that their decisions aren't harmful?Their belief may be a harmless or dangerous delusion, which ever one it is it should be carefully examined to ensure they doesn't prompt the person to make decisions while in office which could be harmful.
What about their race? Maybe they're a closet reptilian? Better check their decisions because of their cold-blooded nature! What if they like cats? I mean, actually like the fuzzy little murder balls.. Better check their decisions, twice!
Examine what they do, what they propose, the evidence for what they value as it is applied to governance and legislation. If you agree with those things then maybe they're a good candidate choice for you, no matter if they're religious, a reptilian, or an animal "lover."
I am fully convinced that there are too many politicians out there who proclaim their religious dedication much too loudly and too broadly, especially during election season. Keep that in mind when you decide whether or not a candidate is "religious" or truly holds to the dictates of a particular religious faith.
