    I'm all for trading out the holidays we have for new ones every decade or so.
    Think of the upsides to this;
    We could break free from the usual Winter/XMass/depression cycle. Trade Thanksgiving for one of MANY feast holidays at a more convenient time or just add more.
    We could delete non fun holidays like MLK and Presidents Birthdays and have much more celebratory events. Then every 10 years, just change them out for others and keep it fresh and fun. Must we continue to labor under the mental illness of our current holiday season? Forced smiles, rising suicide rates, unnecessary debt incurred buying unappreciated gifts for greedy family members, all avoidable.

    Simple solution:
            Just realize Hearst is long dead and the newspapers are following him. It would be O.K. to start growing Hemp/marijuana for biomass fuel/cloth/paper/medicine/oil/nutrition and stop this ridiculous prohibition that only cost$ us more and more in totally avoidable ways including environment.
    SCREW CORN, quit making damn corn syrup and outlaw it in food. That should drop a lot of medical waste and you can make that much more moonshine.
    Time to quit crying about what we don't have and start to utilize what we do have. And take the silly asses out of commission, standing in it's way. We are just about universally more important than any thin reason they have.

    It also has to do with rules about not eating blood. I am told there are beliefs about blood holding everything from sin to memories.

    While a kosher designation on food is nice to find. I really don't mind if you just smack em in the head with a sledgehammer as our ancestors did.
    Cruel is cutting a steak off before the cow is dead.
    Makes me think of that old joke about the travelling salesman who comes up to a farmer admiring his livestock beside the pen. He points out a 3 legged pig and tells the story that once when the house was afire, the pig broke down the door , woke the family, and dragged the baby to safety. The salesman notes " That's a good pig, too bad he lost a leg in the fire" The farmer replies," Oh he didn't lose it in the fire, but when a pig's that good, you don't eat them all at once".

    Which of these animals taste like cow?
    Pork is o.k., but will never replace beef. Deer season is just seasonal. Lamb is too pricey and Buffalo is too. Fowl doesn't replace beef and most other animals just taste like fowl. Even frogs legs and rabbit taste like chicken.
    I've soaked beans for 3 damn days and it doesn't matter.
    I don't think anyone is gonna stick around for my flora to adjust.
    I've tried yogurt and even acidophilous.
    Beans just aren't on my diet.
    Quit worrying about it and do something pro-active like legalizing Hemp for biomass fuel/food/medicine/religion. That should offset enough beef that we can all live on it quite nicely. Besides there aren't enough horses to keep us in enough leather for our needs.

  14. The background in the subject for the claims made by my respondents amount to an amusing poll for my own data use at this point.
    To look over the thread by now , you can see that I have found a nearly universal band of manifesto before reason in the 90% while a nearly equal number tho not specifically the same respondents, were willing to investigate resources when presented with new material and instead resorted to the same "religious hymns" without regard for the input they received. This appears in a ratio of 7:9 compared to respondents in the arts and not surprisingly 1:2 in those not seeking higher education. Kinda grim numbers if you think a..are capable of making the correlation to the social stigma inferred.
                My work is done for the day and I'm enjoying a Sam Adams "Alpine Spring" which is surprisingly not overly hoppy and goes wonderfully with my leftover Papa Murphys 5meat stuffed.

    Raisin bran shoves out a log just fine and I probably get more exercise and weigh training than most. I eat enough peppers and hot sauce to stave off illness and keep my arteries clear. Don't you worry 'bout me, boay!

  21. And yet faerie tales have no value over and above whatever moral they possess while Religions often reflect the history of the people participating.
    That isn't going to change for any atheist no matter how hard they bear over the toilet.

  22. Anything that involve faith and worship is religion.
    Atheists "believe" there is no god, when we differentiate between what we know,think,feel and believe.
    Having no factual proof in the face of mankind who has always found the need, since early man and probably before, to "believe" in a higher power. It only speaks to a mutation. If we want to study ourselves, we study religion. Man has always had religion, Atheism is a sporadic, unpopular religion in the scheme of mankind.
