Why some are religious or not?

by Vidqun in

time article: several years before pope francis became pope of the catholic church in 2013, psychologists began to debunk the idea that being more educated meant a person was less likely to be religious.

instead, a new social psychology theoryone that had little to do with education levelarose.

according to dual process theory, people are either deliberative or intuitive when they make decisions.

We know the public persona of Bill Gates has been carefully curated. Instead of the philanthropic geek it appears he's a womanizer. He also appears to be linked with Jeffry Epstein, and behaved strangely in one interview when questioned about it. So yeah, I don't believe what I see in the news and nothing is off limits when it comes to what the truth may be.

I also don't believe the FBI and CIA are as clever and careful as they are corrupt. Have they ever been involved subverting laws and justice? Yes, they have. So again, nothing is out of bounds of possibility.

Based on your "logic", any evidence of guilt presented would always act as evidence of innocence because "why would they be so dumb to be caught out", so let's not waste too much time on that theory.

WHO finally admits that the shit don't work.

the main reason most got the vaccine was to protect others.

now they’re being told they can spread it just as easily as the unvaccinated.

It sure looks like the countries that have the least vaccination and lockdowns have ultimately done best.

You can't judge the winners until the end of the race. Some countries seem to be planning on running round the track forever-more.

Im not sure why you insist that isn't the case by saying the figures don't show that.

Because slanty lines on charty go uppie.

Your chart also shows cases coming down as more people get vaxxed

No, it shows cases going up.

And here's the lie: the vaccine really does NOTHING to prevent infection or spread. It's more of a therapy than a prophylactic.

Which then leads to the 2nd lie: vaccine passports make sense. The vaccinated are the people who have spread and kept this virus going, yet are treated as heroes. They are given a license to spread, undoing all the hard work of those who isolated.

The 3rd lie is that the vaccines are totally safe: massive numbers of heart attacks and collapsing footballers show this is clearly not true.

The final lie is that we need to keep having the vaccine shots: this is going to make the affect of the risk go up further, especially for those who are at little risk from the disease.

Right now the best option IMO seems to be to find the mildest version with lowest health risks, which may be Omnicron, and try to import it.

Then continue limited contact when possible but use rapid testing to isolate people when required in order to limit the numbers infected at once while building up herd immunity. Those infected can be given the treatments since developed.

Finally a special court, similar to Nuremberg, should be convened to try Fauci and the others behind the creation of this virus and any execs of pharmaceutical companies who falsified clinical data for profit. If found guilty, they should be executed.

The Beatles: Get Back

by Simon in

anyone watching this?

i've just started the 3rd and final episode which starts with i presume stella (no, heather) mccartney as a little kid playing in the studio while they record.. overall it's an amazing behind the scenes view of how they created the album and likely how they worked, the past songs and times they referred to and the camaraderie they had most of the time.. mccartneys song-writing and musical brilliance comes through of course.. overall i give it 5 stars if you're a beatles fan but can see it being too long if you're not.. personally, i have an ever-growing collection of outtake recordings of the beatles and bob dylan and have often come to like them more than the released tracks because they are just so raw and unpolished and you often get to hear how a song developed and evolved over time to the version you finally heard released.. who knew we'd be getting some fresh beatles material all these years later?!.

who knew so many fluffy coats and jackets could be worn by so many people in one place..

One of my earliest memories was seeing that performance on TV, I must have been 3 and a bit at the time. We were at my grandparents house with some extended family and everyone was talking about them, it was obviously a big deal to everyone there. It probably stuck out because back then, and especially as a JW kid, I'd never seen men with beards and long hair.

They had a few odd moments but most of it seemed to be a fun time with lots of larking about and silliness, interspersed with songs evolving and performances being honed.

It's strange when you see them getting close to the tune or words you know, I kept thinking "oooh, you're so close!!!"

Yeah, it wasn't as portrayed but I think they all just wanted to do their own thing and it seemed to be George that was most keen to escape from the Beatles shadow (where Paul and John dominated).

Yoko didn't seem to cause much tension although she does seem incredibly clingy and just "there" all the time like none of the others wives were. If she starts doing her ... lets calling "singing", just FFWD. You'll thank me.

If vaccines are the great savior, how come the number of cases and deaths goes up the more people are vaccinated? Shouldn't it go down?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/australia/

I couldn't find official stats for deaths and vaccination status. e.g. something like:

https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-case-numbers-and-statistics

I don't read the Guardian. I do know they employ IRA murderers and terrorists as "journalists" though, so their level of credibility when it comes to telling us what's-what is pretty low:

But guess who is sick in hospital with covid- the unvaccinated, who account for about 95% hospital admissions.

The problem you have is that they stats you are given often don't hold up to scrutiny.

What you think you were told is that 95% of people in hospital and unvaccinated and there because of COVID. That is likely very far from the truth.

You are being lied to, constantly, and even if someone shows you the truth you will find it easier to double-down than to admit you were fooled, because that is human nature.

It's not 35% in the UK. At what point do you admit that things are not as they are portrayed?

Also, Billy Preston made a HUGE difference to the final result.

Overall it's an amazing behind the scenes view of how they created the album and likely how they worked, the past songs and times they referred to and the camaraderie they had most of the time.

McCartneys song-writing and musical brilliance comes through of course.

Overall I give it 5 stars if you're a Beatles fan but can see it being too long if you're not.

Personally, I have an ever-growing collection of outtake recordings of the Beatles and Bob Dylan and have often come to like them more than the released tracks because they are just so raw and unpolished and you often get to hear how a song developed and evolved over time to the version you finally heard released.
