    I am surprised to see you make such a false premise.

    You put it in the past when it is still the reality in the U.S.

    I see the institutionalized discrimination against your colored people, who fill your jails, as a good way to stop colored reproduction and keep the whites always in the top position.

    This ongoing abuse I see as an ongoing genocide of whites against the colored as it not only effects those in jail but also the economic and social growth of the colored.

    Some will not see that as a good analogy to what Hitler did but I see the same results when I look at the big picture.

    A fascist regime, be it Hitler's or the U.S.'s, always favors it's own over any other race.

    The U.S. is a Christian Nation, or at least that is how it touts itself.

    Christianity is a fascist ideology and to think the U.S. is other than that is foolish.

    My comments were based on the assumption that god exists and is as defined, all-good, all-knowing and all-powerful.

    I have no proof of god, neither an argument that stands up to scrutiny nor anything by way of religious experience. However, there seems to be a mathematical formula in re belief in god: the strength of your belief is directly proportional to the amount of trouble you're in.
    TheMadFool

    Most, and especially the intelligentsia do not see that benevolent definition at all. This quote, I hope, will be closer to the truth of what everyone thinks.

    Richard Dawkins.
    “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

    We did not begin in Paradise, but as animals trying to stay alive. Please, please can have a discussion that is based on reality?Athena

    We actually do begin in paradise, from a babies POV. All their needs and wants are being met, hopefully, by a parent and the tribe that one is born in. That heavenly situation changes of course when the child grows up and has to start providing for others and his tribe. That is when duty makes most think that they are no longer in heave. Lest we forget though, gods are created to serve mankind and not the other way around like what G D self serving churches do.

    Now what we have to do is determine if harm is done or not. That is self-evident, isn't it? I mean deciding if it causes harm or does not cause harm depends on what is so, not on believing a myth.Athena

    So it behooves us to learn of the Deming model and rethink our power as citizens in the US.Athena

    You are way more knowledgeable on this issue.

    From the little I know of the German and Japanese systems, they have a well organized, unionized work force and those have been shown to be more productive. Meanwhile, many of the Western governments try hard to fight against organized and unionized workers to the detriment of production and advancement. Seeing this is partly why my socio economic demography pyramid theory is based on organized guilds that would bring production to it's highest possible degree.

    We are so used to impediments from governments that it is doubtful that our Western societies will move that way.

    It seems that many, especially in the simplistic uneducated U.S. that, socialist, to many, means something other than democracy with necessary and required social programs. They see social one payer medicine and education as pure invasive socialism.

    Stupid is as stupid thinks and the U.S is intentionally dumbing down it's population just as religion tries and has succeeding in doing.

    The amorites were committing genocide (infanticide) on their own people and they oppressed their poor.christian2017

    We today also oppress our poor by keeping them poor with our taxing systems.

    In ancient city states with finite resources, baby sacrifice would have been seen as better than creating starvation for the workers who grew and harvested the food that sustained the tribe, whatever name it held.

    To think it was done regularly by custom would have had that tribe eventually dwindle to nothing.

    i don't believe it is less moral.christian2017

    Alcohol is the only psychotropic drug known to kill brain cells. For that reason, I think it is more moral to use other substances for intoxication. Alcohol also creates more violence than many of the other drugs we have access to. Do unto others. We have all heard the joke of ---- what would you like to see coming at you in a car. A drunk going 120 who thinks he is going 100 or a pot smoker going 80 while thinking he is going 100. If one is going to get hit, one would hope for a pot intoxicated person over a drunk. Pot seems to be the more moral drug.

    The older atheists did not have my full respect until they began forming atheist churches. Those are more like the old mystery schools and those I approve of as then, atheists are recognizing our tribal natures more and are doing their duty to their children by providing an intelligent tribe for their children instead of just letting them gravitate to some immoral mainstream religion based on fantasy and the supernatural.

    Hell no. It would be glorious. One of the greatest joys in life is being corrected. To resist it is to want to remain on the wrong path.
