Shouldn't need to hide anything.

Hiding certain bits is just an acquired and established trait relative to the human inability to come to terms with it's sexuality.

Religious bollocks as it were.

Statement of fact Poly.

If you know something, you know it.

If you have to rely upon faith, then you don't know it.

Well, language is primarily communicating and vocalising thoughts, whereas symbolic representations of environment and ideas, are somewhat different, but nonetheless still fall under the umbrella of language

But I'm guessing that ancient Egyptians spoke neither in heiroglyphs or English...Or Egyptian Arabic for that matter.

Sophistication therefore by today's standards does not necessarily mean decorative symbolic narratives.

I would suggest that the evolution and simplification of languages is far more sophisticated in terms of intelligent application.

But hey, if you have a fascination for such things then that's good. I'm not knocking it.

And I have certainly seen and can appreciate ancient Egyptian heiroglyps, repurposed as decorative art.

I saw the title of this thread and instantly recognised it as one of Faux's coping strategies...Just like the inexhaustible reserves of GOD given fossil fuels that were designed solely to keep Fuax snug, warm and mobile in the Rockies.

So, climate changed and climate changes for varying reasons and currently certain human inspired factors are recognised as affecting climate.

Hmmm, I don't really see the point in trying to deny it, other than to allay your own personal fears for the future, especially when like me you're not going to be around for much longer anyway.

And despite your fears, remedial action is slowly being taken and will no doubt continue to be done so, which, relative to global societies and their infrastructure is perhaps somewhat more prudent than burying our heads in the sand.

Even so, catastrophic weather events will undoubtedly occur from time to time just as they have always done...Which just goes to prove that catastrophic weather events will occur from time to time and there's very little that we can do about it.

Never really caught on.

Cleverer folk came up with better ideas.

Though it is impossible to know the intention of the original idea and the masons skill.

So it may well have been intended as purely decorative.

Archaeological interpretation is just as speculative.

Confidence in faith, is also saying I don't know.

Confidence in faith, is simply an established point of view relative to acquired but unverifiable data.

An ideological argument that is merely based upon confidence in faith, is always going to be untenable.

Agnosticism on the other hand, is a reasonable and honest view point. Where I don't know, is the honest answer, so not a cop out at all.

Confidence in faith is the big cop out....Basically meaning I don't know, but refusing to say so.

Just another exaggerated bible myth.

The original sin was a metaphor for sex.

For millennia, people have had hang ups about naked bodies.

Penises and vulvas in particular.

Though oddly, Godfrey had no problems giving Mary one in the stable....And people have been celebrating it ever since.

And in all seriousness, edgelords are generally men with an identity crisis, compounded by an inferiority complex.

And sticking an ism on the end of a word is an esotericism.

And "belief" by definition, defines agnosticism anyway.

The obvious truth is uncertainty.

And Mama caught Luigi with Mimi and threw his dinner across the kitchen...These tales get so exaggerated.

Dear GOD.

Apple crumble doesn't necessarily require blackberries but they certainly add a certain je ne sais quoi.

And considering point 6, are nebulae the result of ejaculatory discharge.

And " Fucking sucks man" is definitely" one pre-nebulae serpent management option.

And if you create another verse should we drop the uni.

And fig leaves... Are you sure it wasn't fig crumble.

And in all the photos why do Adam and Eve always come across as ethereal pale left wing radicals, rather than dark hairy apes that would prefer bananas anyway.

And Moses the basket case, just like Abraham, was off his head at the time, and also pissed off with having to lug those tablets of stone up and down Mt Sanai...A pamphlet would have sufficed.

And what did the dinosaurs do to upset you...You thought you had their remains well buried didn't you...Got bored and started hurling stones about...That was the original sin wasn't it?

How did you extrapolate such a defamatory supposition from a very brief statement concerning the necessity for a nationally cohesive early years educational programme.

I can assure you that I kept my clothes on at all times.

People say all sorts.

Would you believe, some people say that to feed 5000 people all you need is five loaves of bread and two fish.

I assume they mean Whale Sharks and some very very very big loaves of bread...Fresh of course.

What a nation requires is primarily everyone reading, writing and conversing in the same language.

Moving on, other subject matter can be introduced, especially basic maths.

Though befuddling a kids head with religious nonsense at school should be a definite no no, except maybe in a historical context.

Sport and healthy eating should also be addressed in order to promote a healthy population.

I would therefore suggest that a National curriculum in early years is essential, as is monitoring a child's progress in order to achieve best progress and future results.

There is certainly no need to address issues of sexuality before the age of 10...Though separating children from the misinformation of social media, is nigh on impossible these days.

Out of school and pre-school influences make up a greater proportion of a child's basic information input anyway. Over which there is very little control or monitoring at any social level.

Why not buy a sandwich and toast it.

Though cheese will keep for ages in a refrigerator...Ignore sell by dates and just remove any mouldy edges.

And bread can be frozen and used two slices at a time.

Though most mass produced sliced bread is packed with preservatives and will also keep well beyond its sell by date.

In fact, stale bread makes better toast.

Obviously one of his mates having a laugh.

Hey Dave, old Moses is off up the mountain again.

Let's go drop our pants and pretend to be GOD.

For sure, certain things need supporting.

Well, there is depression and then there is depression.

The one requires a positive outlook and the other is a debilitating physiological condition.

And I don't think that the latter is picky.

And the former is more likely a response to the everyday stresses we impose upon ourselves...A religious club may well be supportive in such instances...As might other support groups...Along with a healthy diet and physical exercise to promote well being...I personally find music and meditation extremely helpful and also enjoy exchanging thoughts on religion from a non-religious perspective.

So how big was your study group?

Not for me.

Generations were replaced and American society evolved, and is currently where it is at.

I'm not at all sure that "MLK and blacks" can take the credit for everything.

I would suggest that quite a few dairy cows are black and white.

Not sure if this constitutes a "wide majority".

Is a wide majority the opposite of a narrow majority?

Or just an obese majority?

Though generally speaking milk is whitish and chocolate comes from dark continents.

And chocolate milk comes from bottles.

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick.

Nomadology studies a state of existence, wherein movement was/is dictated by necessity.

Whereas philosophers like to over complicate things because it's what they get paid to do.

Nice.

Hmmmmmm

I sense desperation Faux.

So if you were conditioned to believe the old semi-desert creation and existence hypotheses, and consequently read a lot of much later biased texts on the subject, then you will obviously have a head full of flawed data rather than unequivocal knowledge, and certainly a closed mind.

I would suggest that open mindedness is what easily challenged/challenges millennia of social conditioning and flawed information, and renders you done.

Have a nice day.

We it's developers, the basic seeds of which existed within us in the form of an electrochemical computer.

All that we are now doing is rapidly developing a newer version that is less mushy and less fragile.

And true...We should be proud of our achievements rather than be fearful.

A truly omniscient GOD would hopefully be pleased with the rate of progress.

Old exaggerated tales, myths and legends, became controlling social and political doctrines and codes of conduct.

The Torah, first put together in some form approximately 1000 years after Abe.

The Christian Bible 2100ish years after Abe.

The Quran, 2600 years after Abe.

All loosely based upon the same Middle Eastern creation and existence hypothesis.

Which no doubt, was a mish mash of other regional ideas, acquired from earlier dominant civilisations.

And the reason you avoid the basic flaws of this GOD or these GODS, is because up to date knowledge and understanding makes them glaringly obvious.

Now, when some dude sporting a big beard and sandals eventually rocks up in a divine spaceship to see how things are doing, perhaps then we can seriously talk creation and existence relative to Planet Earth. Other than that it's still all unverifiable myths and legends.

Reduce the population and make housing available...The price will drop as demand drops.

Let's start with government sponsored euthanasia for those worth less that $300million.

I prefer to shower when necessary.

Though I've never had one in Sydney

Nor Adelaide.

Though I did have one in Florence

Quite a few in Sofia.

And when I was in North Carolina I had one in Charlotte.

Ethical systems can be variable.

I go for the fuck humanity and keep your head down approach.

Such are metaethics.

The RationalMadman would have had you banned in a jiffy.

Straight after he had placed his order.
