Matthew 7:1
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Luke 17:21
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
1 Corinthians 7:7
For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
Let’s recognize that Jim Palmer is a Religious Trauma Counselor, so he deals with Traumatic Religious outcomes for a living. But the problem is not inherent to Christianity, it is a matter of how Christianity is presented to the child, and almost everything he presents are the traditional results of toxic authoritarian parenting, similar results can result from any religion, it certainly isn’t a function of the specific religion.
Toxic authoritarian parents utilize chronic abuse and indoctrination in a fear-based home environment where high demands for obedience are enforced with little to no warmth, nurturing, or open communication. It is the parenting style that prioritizes total control that often leaves children with long-lasting emotional, social, and psychological damage.
In a toxic authoritarian parenting environment, any system of relationships and common belief structures can be entangled with fear and control, hindering a child’s ability to trust themselves and develop healthy interpersonal relationships. Presented in such an environment, almost any subject matter can have similar traumatic results, subjects like Democracy, Society, Atheism, Community, Family, Education, Football even, almost any social construct is vulnerable to becoming the object of trauma.
It’s the toxic environment that does the damage, not the subject matter presented in that toxic environment.
Remind me again, why would we want to make changes to the site based on input from a new user that quit?
What makes you think a new user with little experience using the site is qualified to recommend changes to how the site is run?
Then, what the hell was Einstein [a can-do] doing at Yale to meet with, among other students, my father, to enlighten them [a teaching exercise, after all], my friend, and Albert spent a good portion of his later life doing exactly that.
It's fucking amazing how completely full of shit you are.
First of all, Einstein didn't do anything a Yale, he never held any position at Yale, he was at Princeton University you idiot.
He emigrated to the US in 1933 and joined the Institute for Advanced Study in PRINCETON, where he remained till his death in 1955. The Institute for Advance Study is a research center for theoretical study; it has never been a teaching university. Einstein never taught classes in the US, so he never actually had "students", he did conduct some lectures, but it is completely uninformed to say "Albert spent a good portion of his later life" teaching, he never "taught" a class in the US and so, he never had a student in the US.
Your father was not a student of Einstein's anywhere, especially not Yale LOL, that is just more of your bullshit.
"I will fundamentally change America," Oba'a said in his 2008 campaign. Since the Constitution is the foundation of America, those are fighting words.
That's an idiotic statement born of severe ODS, is it your contention that the country has not made any fundamental changes in 237 years? The Constitution has frozen the country in time, we are a static country because of the Constitution? Nonsense.
Get real, it isn't what Obama said that upsets you, it is his race that makes you angry, "black president" are your fighting words.
The country has fundamentally changed, especially regarding diversity, that upsets you because you and your white supremacist values are a thing of the past, you and your MAGA movement are dinosaurs that can't adapt to a changing world, and like the dinosaurs, you will go extinct, and for the same reason the dinosaurs did, because you have brains the size of walnuts.
Exist: Have objective reality or being.
Well objectivity/subjectivity are something of a moot point, in so much as both rely upon the internal sensory derived processes and conclusions of internal systems...Hence I always suggest that objectivity is always based upon a subjective assessment of acquired data...Green is just that...So yes in that context Green exists as per definition.
Mathematics also, in so much as mathematics is a well established thought construct derived from sensory input, and therefore also from the thinking organisms point of view, even if we prefer to differentiate between objectivity and subjectivity...Abstract or concrete...Bearing in mind that concrete is as far as we are able to know only born in mind, just as abstract is.
In simple terms if I wish to paint my kitchen with green paint, I choose green paint.
And if I want to know the price of 8 bananas I work it out...Even if they are on a 4 for 3 offer.
Of course, internal systems function, analysis and conclusions may beg to differ, relative to a more or less complex appreciation of relevant information.
Go Sidewalker.
I’m just trying to understand the argument between you and CaptainHook, I am very interested in the subject matter of your debate, and it seems to me you are both arguing from the same fundamental position. Just trying to clarify.
You both seem to be reducing “Love” to physical/chemical processes in the brain, and I’m not sure what the point of that is. Are you saying it’s not real, or in some way less real, than the brain processes behind it, or what?
The fact is, everything you experience has neural correlates, your answer here seems to acknowledge that, so pointing out that love is a matter of physical/chemical processes in the brain seems irrelevant to the discussion. So, I guess the question becomes, are you pointing that out to establish that you equate love with its neural correlates, or that love exists on a different level of reality, more real, less real, something like that. I find your debate with Cappy interesting, just trying to understand it.
As far as mind/brain goes, do you think mental states are identical to physical brain states, or that mind is an "emergent" property of brain, or are you a dualist? Do you think mind and brain are ontologically independent entities.
I’m a dualist, I think the mind is fundamentally immaterial and therefore must be treated as a separate philosophical concept.
Two questions for you both.
Does the color green exist?
How about mathematics, exist?

You said because you had a gf who wanted consistently be in touch with you and being a "punching bag" from this woman in your conclusion that all women are abusive and controlling
Maybe not all, but many are, and all I saw so far are. And this is irrelevant to abusive men.
How about owning it, maybe it's just that you bring out these reactions in people, I suspect men also find you punchable, maybe this "make believe" GF of yours is kind and loving to everyone else. The subtext of almost all your posts says, "punch me", if she was still alive, I suspect you could get Mother Teresa to want to punch you. If you don't want to be punched, don't always lead with your chin, you make people want to punch you because of who you are, not because of who they are.
"It's not in our stars dear Brutus, that we are underlings, it's in our natures" - Cassius in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (Act I, Scene 2).
Take responsibility for yourself and stop blaming women for what you are, if you don't want to be punching bag, quit whining all the time and just don't be a punching bag.
"A man can't ride your back unless it's bent" - Martin Luther King
Stand tall, stop being a wimp, and maybe you could get a real-life girlfriend.
the entire Holy Bible will be read by some 84 distinguished people, and hour each, including President Trump.
That's because Trump thinks it's a book about him.
So what about the shoes?
I think it's true, it aligns with something a whack job unhinged old senile man would do.
I looked into it, and it was reported in several reputable news outlets, beginning with the Wall Street Journal, then CNN and most of the major news outlets including Fox News. JD Vance said Trump likes to buy them all shoes in a speech a while back before the WSJ broke the story, and Trump said "Sneakers are wonderful, but I don’t want my Cabinet members wearing sneakers, so I’ll get them a pair of shoes, it’s a gift from Donald Trump", he also said he thinks it makes them look "spiffy and nice".
So yeah, must be a true story.
Probably the same way that Trump mind controls people into waking up thinking about El Trumpo every day instead of the ground in front of their feet.
Never ceases to amaze me watching Trumpers pretend like there's something wrong with us lefties for talking so much about the current president of the United States while they still talk about Biden and even Hilary.
Don't forget Obama, they all suffer from ODS.
I especially like the way Fauxlaw constantly says "Why can't you just ignore Trump" like he's Rainman.
2 billion for a year of pretending to comply on the surface with limited declared sites for inspectors, while keeping all the centrifuges and bunkers for later, after the payoffs stopped, what a bargain. It's too bad those optics didn't transfer over to the 2016 election because now you have a madman who won't allow undeclared sites.
2020-2024, Iran kicked all the inspectors out, and US just shrugged and said: "whatever, then the next guy can deal with it."
You don't suppose that's because Trump cancelled the nuclear agreement with Iran that imposed the inspector requirement in 2018, he said no way do we honor an agreement that Obama and Europe made, he said the next guy can deal with it.
All good, as long as you can keep your guilt tied to what you actually did and not your skin color.
And don't signal to other racists that you are into ritualistic skin shaming to gain fake respect.
I hate orange people, the break laws, they rape women, they spread fear and hatred, and they are pedophiles, some I assume are good people.
Maybe you should consider being less racist against white people.
I'm not prejudiced against all white people, just racists, Trumpers, cat owners, cricket players, and mimes, I fucking hate mimes.
I would have said trailer trash, fascists, and idiots too, but they are all covered under the category "Trumpers".
Trump holding at 38% in polling because of seniors. So says CNN and that Republicans likely to lose house and not Senate because of larger senior voting block vs the smaller{ less reliable to vote } youth voting block, and especially in Florida.
I will never understand this, I know seniors are more susceptible to falling for a scam, but this Trump phenomenon is just ridiculous, can't believe any of my fellow seniors fell for it.
Maybe Florida makes some sense because he shares the three most important Floridian values which are, have a lot of money, play golf, and have a year-round tan. Hey Floridians, snap out of it, orange and tan are two completely different colors.
..> Seniors accept old school ways of thinking, that, tend more toward conservative mind-set is my guess and that includes significance of voting makes a differrence.
I’d agree that seniors “tend more toward conservative mind-set”, but Trump and his MAGA movement is not “conservative” by any stretch. I would expect my fellow seniors to have a greater respect for democracy, the Constitution, the law, integrity, etc…and therefore would be the voting block that rejected Trump the most.
..> Youth less reliable in believing voting makes a differrence.
I have always believed that seniors are more likely to vote, but I would have thought that would hurt Trump more than help him.
I dunno so I googled the question..why does Trump get the Senior vote so much?
It makes no sense to me, it makes me feel ashamed to be an old white guy. This Trump phenomenon has made me feel like I don’t fit in anywhere, I’m alienated from my age group, my country, and my race.
I’m going to Italy on vacation for two weeks in May, I’m trying to learn to speak with a Canadian accent so I can deny being an American. Good idea, Eh.
I mean, c'mon, you are talking to a guy who believes this is a picture of Trump as a red cross doctor LOL.
Come on Faux, despite what you might say to the contrary, you're a conditioned, right wing, racist, sexist, isolationist, Trumpet....So just be proud and admit it.
Though having a dig at ceremonial costumes, just because the American Pope pointed out a few of your orange heroes shortcomings is simply just a ridiculous and unnecessary jibe...The sort of garbage speak one expects of Trump...Surely you're better than that Faux.
What, you don't think the Pope should back off from Trump because the Swiss Guard has a funny outfit is a strong argument.
I mean, you are dealing with MAGA, what did you expect, logic, reason, intelligence, LOL, get real.?
No, these politicians are smart and will retire before the assassins show up to persuade them.
Smart huh, then they have no chance of being elected president. Only morons need apply.
Pope Leo ought to back off meddling with president Trump and the US v Iran.
Just who the hell does this Leo think he is, anyway, Trump is Jesus, and Leo is just a Pope.
They were smart and surrendered before assassins were sent to take them out.
Maybe they are considering running for President, we've been known to elect sexual deviants to that office. Watch for them to start grabbing women by the pussy without asking, committing felonies, and using racial slurs, then we'll know they are going for it.
Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales got confused, they were thinking just because Trump does this kind of stuff all the time, even brags about it, that maybe they could get away with it too. I mean, if even Evangelical Christians can ignore sexual assault, corruption, lies, and other various commandments, then it must be OK for them to start to embrace those same Trump values.
Poor saps didn't realize that Trump has different rules than the rules for his minions.
Great summary, I expect him to provide updates as the war continues, ends, continues, ends. and continues....
