Britain's worst Roman. Flier of pretend aeroplanes, Sanctuarian demon-botherer and Night City's varmint-in-chief. Sleeper through earthquakes.

As for Horus, aye - and the rest. It was hardly an unpopular narrative. The entirety of biblical scripture can be tracked back to influences and origins running right back into the Babylonian mythology, which gave us Genesis, etc, and originated the god of Israel.

The great majority of scholars of the period hold that Jesus probably did exist. You don't need to deny the historicity of a person to deny that he was a god incarnate or performed miracles. There were countless apocalyptic preachers running around Judaea at the time.

And while I'm very aware that it's Not Cool to deny someone's self-identity, and that as a pagan it's not for me to decide who's Christian and who's not, when someone makes what seems a conscientious effort to defy virtually every single recorded teaching of Christ, I'm willing to go out on a limb.

They're not Christians. They're political christianists, as islamists are to Islam. They love to taunt people for "virtue signalling", but this is really all their supposed Christianity is: it's just an empty performance intended to signal in-group loyalty.

There shouldn't be any rich. There needs to be an agreed limit that's *enough*. Enough for someone to live happily and in comfort, fine. I'm cool with that. But these people who have more money than any reasonable person could spend need it taken away and invested in society.

Think of the Internet career you could have afterwards, though. The prospect of being fired never seems to bother the fascists because they know they can always monetise it. I don't see any reason a wronged truth-teller couldn't as well.
December 4, 2025 at 7:21 AM
Well, yeah, if you want to be all historical about it. I was rather hoping to play more on the subsequent narrative they teach themselves, where they stepped in and saved Europe single-handed while France and Britain and Poland et al looked on in awe.

I figured that would be more useful just now.

Whataboutism was always core Soviet strategy. It's no surprise it's become a favourite fallback of putinists today.

It won't end until the American people end it.

Nobody else is going to rescue you. There's no divine hand about to reach down from on high and set things right. No judge is going to order these killers locked away until they die: they own the judges.

You need to do it yourselves.
December 3, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Yes, like that. Now does that mean Hegseth isn't a murderer somehow?

There's not going to be anyone else in charge until someone removes the Nazis. Traditionally, it's what Americans do to Nazis. I'm hoping (as I'm sure it's the rest of the world - at least the bits outside the Moscow Kremlin) you'll all remember that fairly soon.

Maths isn't interested in our religions.

And the verse says different things depending on which translation you use. And is interpreted different ways by different commentators. The connection you draw is tenuous at best.

There are two factors here. Firstly, the practicalities of assembling all the information so that it can be leaked fast enough for the transmission to be completed before the firewalls go up and I'm terminated.

Then there's the why. Is my boss the most powerful warmongering criminal in the world?

Nobody has the courage. They're all abject cowards.

Presumably "Sufinnuhsee!" is the thing that happens after you've stuffed the nussy too much.

"We're"?

Sorry. I'm insufferable.

Hope next week is a bit more bearable for you, though.

I'd say, given the obvious and overwhelming evidence, how could anyone possibly disagree?

But we live in a world where people believe in a flat Earth, that the moon landings were a hoax, that drinking raw milk is good for you, and that rich men are a benefit to humanity.

She said, "The article discussed peers using teasing as a way to enforce gender norms. I do not necessarily see this as a problem."

And that's the key. All that matters to these so-called 'Christians' (#NotAllChristians) is that their book gives them licence to abuse people they hate.
November 30, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Oh, don't. It's depressing that that option isn't available.
November 30, 2025 at 4:25 PM
Hang on... Small margin? I thought 52-48% was an overwhelming majority and the unquestionable Will of the People™ now and forever?

"Fake news is the enemy of the people".

No, Seth Parnell. An unaccountable, fascistic administration unfettered by law or principle or humanity, which can order killings at will without oversight or constraint from Congress or sight of evidence, is the enemy of all people everywhere.
