The probability of it being directed at you is negligible. Hence my argument - focus on wearing your seatbelt instead.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 11:08 pmIn principle it does but as long as it is not directed at me then I am not botheredTimeSeeker wrote:

That's far more likely to prevent YOUR premature death than worrying about terrorism.

I could die in my sleep tonight and it would have no negative effect on me from that point on because I could not suffer any more

Then why do you need the word 'evil' ? If a terrorist delivers you from suffering then surely they are doing you a favour?surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 11:40 pm I have absolutely no need to wear a seatbelt and I never worry about terrorism and my premature death does not bother me at all

You have experienced neither, so you are making this choice on the presupposition that dying in your sleep is “peaceful”.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 11:52 pmI actually want to die peacefully in my sleep rather than be blown up by a suicide bomber which is very unlikely anywayTimeSeeker wrote:Then why do you need the word evil ?

It could also be an 8 hour nightmare you can’t wake up from, where getting blown up is instant death...

What if you ban the texts, but because of the zombie parasites new ones pop up to replace them?Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 10:19 am One of my thesis is this;
Here is a documentary video which show how 'evilness' is inherent in SOME children where the signs are evident even when they are babies and toddlers.
- 1. DNA/RNA wise ALL humans inherently has the potential to commit evil and violent acts.
2. A percentile [20% conservatively] are unfortunately born with an active evil tendency.
3. Those with an active evil tendency are easily triggered to commit evil when exposed to evil laden elements in various media and in this particular case, Holy Texts.
In addition there is objectivity via a strong correlation between the activity of theta waves in the brain with the likelyhood to commit evil and violence. Note the research done by Adrain Raine as presented in the video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVxGZGPvyPo
Could the most effective method of crime prevention be a brain scan?
This suggestion, the result of recent ground-breaking research, is investigated in the two films that comprise A Mind To Crime.
The Dangerous Few examines the surprising claim from the USA that it is possible to identify children as young as four year’s old as potential criminals.
Often prone to violence and stealing, children who suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have been found to have brain abnormalities consistent with those who turn to crime.
Controversial treatments being developed are also revealed. Violent Minds, the second film, examines the brain abnormalities that affect different types of criminal, as well as investigating the links with drugs and the possibilities of brain damage inflicted before birth.
In the video there is a mother who was afraid her 6? years old daughter could kill her while she is asleep based on evidence of the child aggressive behaviors, emotional state and expressions.
In view of the above, we should thus give serious attention to holy texts that contain loads of evil laden elements that could trigger those with inherent evil tendencies to commit terrible evil and violent acts.
The point is we are not speculating but the real evidence is already very glaringly evident there are SOME evil prone believers who are inspired by the evil elements in their holy texts to commit terrible evil and violent acts.
Should we ban such holy texts with loads of evil laden elements given that at present is it tougher and quite impossible to cure the inherent tendencies in SOME* to commit evil in the evil prone.
* re SOME, 20% of 1.5 billion is 300 million or if 1% is 15 million people with active inherent evil tendencies all over the world.

2000 and 1500 years ago before the enlightenment age there were no psychiatry and a large pool of rational knowledge to assess the psychological states of the founders of the various religions.

Note I have explained to you directly, the "zombie parasites" are very active within the lower [60%] and mid brain [20%].
Science [dominantly rational within the higher cortical brain] which is net-positive to the well being of the individual and humanity is activated in the higher brain is beyond the influence of the zombie parasites [within the lower and mid brain].
Note the analogy of the zombie-ants, where the real zombie parasites compel the zombied-ants to behave in a way that is detrimental to the ants.
This is partly true as evidenced from those in the extreme left and the very stupid Islam-apologists.How can we wean of a system of beliefs if the zombie parasites lead to further systems of beliefs?
As such there is need to counter them and find ways to inhibit [not get rid] their active "zombie parasites' within their brain.

In Defense Of Metaphors In Science Writing
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/li ... e-writing/
In this case I am using Scientific studies [zombie ants] as a metaphor to theistic behaviors.
The point it whatever is the conclusion, it has to be justified by purely scientific proofs.
Metaphors are merely a linguistic tool that can be used in any communication setting.
