Dog fights with its own hind leg over bone

dwanmeer says...

Interesting....

Whatever this dog has it's pretty obvious that is not natural. This dog has a problem and I find it wrong to laugh at it.

It's not like a normal dog would do something like this just to please us and make us laugh. They don't have a sense of humor like humans.

What Mormon Theology Is Really All About [1975]

dwanmeer says...

What are you talking about? It says black people are "neutral" according to them, not evil.

But anyway what about asians, native americans, etc? Not everyone is either white or black.

And what's with that "endless celestial sex" with "multiple wives"? I'm surprised mormons aren't polygamous perverts.

The fact that the car was smashed flat and they couldn't just lift up the truck isn't enough proof to you that it was heavy?

And not that it matters, but the guy really says: "No sabía si iba a vivir", which means: "I didn't now if I was going to live".

Atheists Aren't So Bad

dwanmeer says...

Uhm, ok I suppose you have good proof of this.... So basically we can be bad and if god wants to send us to hell we can refuse, right?

Another thing... So we choose whether we want to go to heaven or hell, no? Do we also get to choose whether we want to exist and go through all this mess?

Atheists Aren't So Bad

dwanmeer says...

If there's an individualistic god with a sense of self as depicted by most religions, he's a sadistic hypocrite who likes to play with his creations, and who supposedly created us and immediately put us to the test on this planet to see if we really are worth keeping.

How can you create something and just toss it into a world and give it all these "rules" so you can accept it? Isn't that just plain ridiculous and cruel? I know it is to me.

Something extremely ironic is that this cruel god "loves" you and suffers when you deviate from him and he has to punish you sending you to a place of eternal agony. So basically he is a two-faced schizophrenic god who is inevitably, and constantly happy and sad at the same time. Sad when he punishes those who don't follow him, and happy when he's praised and worshiped.

The truth is that all these "rules" are practically impossible to follow perfectly, as even the thought of saying a lie already angers this mentally unstable god. So even if you make it to "heaven" you still have to be careful not to have a single bad thought for the rest of eternity fearing god. That would also be some kind of "hell", if you ask me.

When something doesn't seem to fit this god governed reality, religion often has one answer, and one answer only: "God works in mysterious ways". OK so this god besides being cruel, hypocrite, and schizophrenic is also sneaky and doesn't really want you to know a lot of things, only a few. Coincidently these only few things he wants you to know are also the things that the leaders of religion use against people to get them to join and get attached to their religion by implanting the fear of being forsaken and doomed by this god of theirs.

I believe in a God (if that's what can be called), but it's not even close to how it's described by most religions. I recommend a book called "A Course In Miracles" if anyone's interested in finding out what I believe in which makes perfect sense to me, and doesn't contradict itself.

Sam Harris lectures on the dangers of both religious fundamentalism and religious moderation

dwanmeer says...

The other day I was introduced to a book called "A Course In Miracles" by my sister and I'm loving it because it gives a very RATIONAL explanation about this "real" world, what God is supposed to be about, what Jesus really was trying to tell us, and who we really are and where we come from.

Something that really got me thinking was that this book says that sin is the absence of love and nothing else. So any kind of act that lacks love would be a sin.

In that case, just to take the sexual preference example, being gay or straight or bisexual or whatever wouldn't really be considered a sin if there's real love involved, would it?

And what Krupo says that Catholics preach hating the sin and not the sinner, if sin is the lack of love then hate is already a sin, so you're just feeding the sin even more and giving it more power by hating it. The only cure for sin would be to bring love where it's been "replaced" by sin.

This book has really opened my mind and now I see the world in a whole different way. Highly recommended for the open-minded who like to compare different perspectives of life.

Documentary by 17 yr old recreates the "doll test" from 50s (skip to 3:20)

dwanmeer says...

Haha.

Ultimateforce you sure saw this video from a very different perspective than I did.

I personally don't give a rat's ass about people's roots because I think we're all ultimately equal, and getting into all that heritage BS only brings more trouble by separating us into different groups each with their own "special" attributes, etc. and trying somehow to point out some things that supposedly make us superior to other groups.

The way I saw this video mainly because of its title (recreating the "doll test"), and the "skip to 3:20" note, was as an appalling proof that a lot of people, in this case the blacks, practice some kind of self discrimination whether it's conscious or unconscious.

I think all that is truly messed up as I have already stated that I strongly believe that we are all equal beings, and as far as I know anyone could've been born anywhere in the world, within any race, etc.

dwanmeer says...

Wow, this is so sad... I strongly believe we were all created equal, and seeing any kind of discrimination shocks me greatly.

What I find even sadder is the fact that even though I really think this is an awesome documentary, someone actually voted against it.

What the *BLEEP* Do We Know?

dwanmeer says...

I didn't particularly care about the story either (especially that really boring wedding party part), but it wasn't the main focus.

I guess they made it that way to "appeal" to more people, but it didn't really bother me either.
