the reason my childhood was so tense, and the reason my parents get so frustrated during every conversation with me.
Good. They were thinking, but hadn't reached Christian maturity, yet. You, knowing what you do now, can be a much better Christian.  I've grown away from christian doctrine. I believe in Jesus like I believe in Allah, Vischnu and Buddah. Hallucinogens though. Aw, that's a shame. Well, it was nice knowing you if only for a moment. It would have been much better knowing you for all eternity in Heaven, though. |

Its hard to really change something that is deep rooted into a culture. I don't agree with the general media when they think that violent computer games cause people to goto schools and shoot kids like a video game. I think its more deep rooted than that. Social welfare and the right kind of support has to be given to those who are mentally in need and these are often the people that are largely ignored - further fuelling their internal anguish.
I think more psychological profiling should be done when giving gun licenses and when selling guns, together with more governance and regulation.
When it comes to a matter of people possessing weapons that can kill people, then nothing but the strictest regulation should be enforced.
The question is, how is anybody going to enforce it without using the weapons themselves to enforce it, especially in a free society? Such enforcement only takes the society one or two steps closer to slavery. |

The hologram reflection idea is a bit different than simulation theory, but they are both mind boggling once you get into reading about them. If you were to enlarge a hydrogen atom, so that the proton nucleus were the size of a pin-point in your hand, the electron would be zooming around the proton, say, a hundred feet away. Since the electron in a hydrogen atom is in the electron shell nearest the proton, electrons in other atoms might be zooming around their respective nuclei at much further distances if they were enlarged to a corresponding size. The point is, all that there is in between the electrons and the nuclei is empty space. In other words, people, and everything else you see on the surface of the earth, are essentially made up of so much nothing - empty space. Just because we don't know how to make hologram devices that create complex holograms like the materials that we are all made out of, doesn't mean that somebody other than people doesn't know how. |

People want security. They see that there is insecurity around while guns are around. They mistakenly think that it is the guns that are the problem, and if the guns disappear, the problems will as well. They don't want to think that there could be bad people, because you never really know which person is a bad person. In order to stop all the bad people, you would need to put ALL the people into strait-jackets. And they don't want to be placed into strait-jackets. So, since they don't have any other answers, they blame the guns. |

Well lets see, would I be extremely insightful if I said that even with all the laws in place, there will be another riot in Watts someday.
Only if you added the fact that it is the law-makers who obey their own laws the least. |

The Illuminati, demons shape shifted into planes and did 9/11.The pentagon was hit by a missile, and there was no plane in Pennsylvania. you have been lied to. Just saying minutes after the planes or demons hit the buildings they set off bombs inside the building to destroy it
The point isn't that the 9/11 happenings didn't happen. We all know that they did. The point is that there isn't any conspiracy theory that seems plausible about who did it. The official story is one of the least plausible. You Illuminati-shape-shifting demons is almost as bad as the official conspiracy theory. |

its simple really. Religion is largely tradition based. Most people will simply associate with the religion they had from childhood.
The Conservatives appeal to this, because the capitalist way of thinking is also largely traditional so they use this to their advantage
At the same time, this logic is unclear. Why? Because every religion had to have a start. And before there was a start, nobody had any association of such and such a religion from their childhood, because the religion didn't exist. The next question might be, Was the religion started by a family head, or was it started by a small group of people? It doesn't seem logical that a religion was started by hundreds of thousands of people, all of them simply deciding to start a new religion at once. If it happened this way, there must have been some major cause that would make them all think that they needed this kind of a new religion. What could the cause be? If the religion seemed to be started by one person, like Abraham or Moses for the Jews, or the Buddha for the Buddhists, how long did it take for it to become popular among millions? Did it become popular because the people were looking for a religion, and the particular religious leader of the day happened to be smart enough to set some religious logic in place? Or did it become popular only because it was handed down, parents to children, over generations of time? The point is, there is a lot more to religion than some people simply following it because that was how they were brought up. There had to be more than this for a religion to get started in the first place. And if all the religions of today fell of the face of the earth, would that same THING among people get some new religions going among people to take the place of those that were lost? |

A lot of people have pointed out that a difference between America and the rest of the western world is how many guns we have. But access to guns does not cause sane people to shoot each other. The germane difference between us and the others is that in America we do not care for the mentally ill. Our care for the insane is to watch their lives fall apart until they become homeless, in jail, or dead from a suicide / spree killing.
Then rather than own up to our role in all this we blame... the gun?
Big Pharma is pushing more pills per second than bullet makers in a month... You may have something there. If a LOT of pills make everyone a lot quieter and less troublesome to the Authorities, then clearly, if there are some troublemakers remaining, we need additional Pills and Enforcers of the Taking of Pills. mandatory implants are safer. That's a good idea. Mandatory implants for all the people in government, and completely under the control of all the people not in government. People in government includes cops. |

^ So you are saying it is exactly like christianity? And maybe like most other religions.
Ah. Another who doesn't understand about Christianity. The goal of Christianity is to spread the Gospel. This Gospel is the good news that people will rise from the dead at the last day. And those who believed in the salvation of Jesus will gain a joyful, glorious eternal life with God. When Christians make mistakes, it is they are human, just like all the atheists who make the same kinds of mistakes that Christians do. |

....
because no plane hit the PENTAGON because if you can see that a plane hit that building then my eyes are playing tricks on me and i need a brain scan..
So, pop. When are you scheduling that brain scan? Also, let me know how many planes you've watched passing by you at 500 miles per hour at a hundred yards or so away. I grew up watching supersonic fighter jet test runs. Don't think you need a brain scan actually. You couldn't see such a thing any more than you can see an airplane propeller or helicopter blades when they are moving. But, obviously, you missed the cruise missile tests. Besides, 500 mph is only 734 feet per second. Persistence of vision keeps something like this visible for seconds after you see it happen. |

Wow, seriously the majority of the people think it was actually the US govt? I mean I am not completely throwing that out the window I am just surprised to see so many people think it was internal
This isn't surprising. Think of taxes. People don't like taxes, but they like how government uses taxes even less. And think of the big real estate crash in 2008. It left many people homeless. True, it was the fault of many of these people and not the government, but the people had thought that the government had things covered for their protection. They found out differently. The drone attacks against Pakistan haven't gone away even though much of the news about them seems to have. People don't trust that their own government wouldn't use drones on them, especially in the light of all the police brutality, lately. There are lots of other things that are wearing on government trust. Funny you bring up police brutality, when I think in most cases the brutality is justified. Stop resisting arrest and you should be fine! Scary though, that the majority of people are so hateful toward the gov't they usually can't think straight, think of the people fighting police brutality for example. I for one would hate to be a cop right now, because its way to dangerous and if you have to use force, people are going to hate you. Almost no cases of police brutality are justified, other than when police are literally stopping violence with violence. Even in some of these cases, where it is a violent struggle - like a duel between two reasonably matched opponents - police should stay out of it, and simply observe that it doesn't move into an arena where bystanders or property are harmed or damaged. Only if it becomes apparent that one of the opponents is going to be severely damaged, then they should step in. If you are playing a game of checkers, and one of you is winning, should the police step in and stop the game? Just the same, if it is a violent game, what gives the police the right to enforce their own rules, except if it is going to interfere with bystanders? They don't have the right. It is as much police brutality as if they stopped your game of checkers. Wake up, you sheeple. You are so brainwashed into thinking that you have freedom, when all along you are slaves of government thinking. Government has so brainwashed people like Spendy, that even people who are as smart as he can't see that 9/11 was an inside job. |

Something invented back in the day when our brains wasn't fully developed and everyone was high on mushrooms and hallucinated on a daily basis
Problem isn't that our brains weren't fully developed then. We haven't changed much in tens of thousands of years maybe. But we didn't have much knowledge back then. So people invented answers to what they saw. Much like other animals do in skinner boxes for example. Set them up to give rewards at random times and animals will develop complex behaviors that have no effect at all. Same thing here. Actually, Youtube search "Graham Hancock" to see that people's brains back 12,5000 years ago were better developed than ours are. Some of us have devolved to the point that we, in our pride, think that we are better than people thousands of years ago. |

You may have missed the video below.....
Yet another batshit crazy nutcase making a youtube video. I've been thinking a lot recently about why clever people believe stupid things, especially conspiracy/cover-up type ideas. There are many reasons, relating to things like confirmation bias and pattern recognition, but I believe there's another reason why this happens, and it relates to video documentaries (where the majority of conspiritards get their information). There is no such thing as an unbiased documentary. They can get close, but the director will always have an angle that he/she wants to portray. They do this by weaving their ideas into a narrative. With conspiracy-type documentaries, the narrative is often cleverly devised so that it seems to build on itself throughout the film, making a certain agenda seem more plausible than it actually is. This gives the impression of multiple pieces of information compounding to create a convincing case. Just look at how many people think "Ancient Aliens" is a legitimate factual documentary - people are very easily taken in by the narrative, even though there is basically no evidence whatsoever. Also, documentaries like this are inherently more biased than any other, because the makers have nothing to lose and everything to gain: A film about a 9/11 cover-up doesn't need to worry about any academic criticism, because they are already telling an alternative story. This gives the director carte blanche to push as shocking/misleading an agenda as possible, subsequently getting more youtube hits, and more money. It's almost like a "meta-conspiracy"  It is reasons like this that make the government's own conspiracy theory to be one of the least plausible ideas on the planet. People want security. They will often believe the conspiracy theory that is best suited to their feelings of security. When the truth about any conspiracy starts to come out, the people will tend to believe the truth. Regarding 9/11 conspiracies, Google "percent people believe the official 9/11 story." |

incredible that none of them gave in and really demonstrates the superiority of christianity to islam. muslims are allowed to deny their faith to avoid persecution.
That's because Islam is a religion with two major goals: 1. Converting the world to Islam; 2. Getting the tax money. |

There are often many differences in the way we die. Many of us feel it coming. To others it is a surprising shock... for a few minutes maybe. But we all die. |
