Ugh not me. I’ve been through the SLC temple and it’s one horrifyingly bland white cold interior throughout. If that’s what mormons see as their ‘destiny’ in the afterlife, I’m kinda glad I’ll be roasting in hell instead. To me that kind of austerity doesn’t smack of godliness, it smacks of sterility and coldhearted lifelessness.

No. I didn’t much like Reddit but I have never had so many problems with a social media site as I have with Lemmy. Right now there’s 17 comments in my notifications page, but no way to access them because it just says “404 - page not found.” And there’s no way to view or erase them.
Lemmy has tons of connectivity problems also. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d have to rate it minus 100. I’ve left Kbin and actually am no longer even using Lemmy but once in a grand while. I’m looking for other sites that will work better.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Residents Beg Michigan Mayor to Stop Solar Eclipse - He Scientifically Can't71·1 年前Having seen a solar eclipse back in 2017, I can say it was truly an spectacle. But I don’t see traveling anywhere just to see another one - I mean it’s interesting, but it lasts maybe two minutes and then it’s over and back to normal. And I don’t see spending all that money when you can get the best view of it watching news coverage on TV.
Every time there’s a solar eclipse, a blood moon, a super moon, or any other astronomical phenomenon, we never can see it here in Utah, it’s always far too cloudy and too overcast to see anything. Same with this Monday’s eclipse, though even if we could, we only would see a portion of it anyway.
With the same reasoning it’s never logical to assume that things we can’t always identify or put a label on are strange or foreign or from other planets.
The most logical, and most mentally healthy mind, would first try to explore the most plausible explanations and first assume there is no miraculous visitation involved.
If a mountain springs up in the middle of the Pacific and a comic sans message pops up saying LDS is the true religion," I can guarantee it’s because the multi-billion dollar corporation called the LDS Church has put money into a new kind of marketing campaign.
And if you’re stupid enough to give that corporation 10 percent of your income, maybe you’re too stupid to be trying to solve UFO mysteries in the first place.
Actually he’s an octopus so he’s always been a lot more of a hands-on person.
Oooohkaay this is all about as slimy and gross as human communications can get.

Of course killing humans at Easter is what the Jewish state is best at, so we should shove our easter eggs up our butt and thank jesus for this wonderful world of bloodshed and murder that israel helps make happen.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•A Filipino villager is nailed to a cross for the 35th time on Good Friday to pray for world peace1·1 年前Well it’s sort of like Mohammed - I’m sure that a person with that name DID exist around that time at some point. And maybe they were a teacher and a self-proclaimed “speaker for god.” But so was Charles Manson and David Koresh and Jim Jones and Joseph Smith and many other horrible cult leaders.
There never has been any “god” in the way we mean it, so there could never actually be such a thing as the son of God, nor any need for one. If we were smart as a species, we’d see why it’s more important to support human beings than go around believing in religious nut jobbery.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto Atheism@lemmy.world•Florida's 'Pregnancy Crisis Centers’ Blatantly Mix Church and State - Factkeepers.com1·1 年前Here they want to force all schools to have the Ten Commandments posted on every wall. Because god knows, kids aren’t already feeling puny and guilty enough, we need to show them just how much they don’t measure up to god’s standards at every turn.
If there is a human alive who has never broken a commandment I’ve yet to meet them. And I don’t live my life by a fictitious set of rules anyway - let alone a list that no one, not even Jesus, could actually succesfully live up to. (and to my mind, no one with any intellect would want to anyway).
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Taliban edict to resume stoning women to death met with horror1·1 年前I expect that kind of reply from a woman-hating and self-hating person like you. So, I don’t really value your opinion very much.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Taliban edict to resume stoning women to death met with horror11·1 年前No I’m not saying the West is much better, but at least here we treat women with the same dignity as men. We spit on all of them, but at least we TRY to say we treat men and women equally.
No the situation is not much better anywhere in the world.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•War a real threat and Europe not ready, warns Poland's Tusk26·1 年前I’ve never understood exactly what makes the male sex supposedly so superior. From what I’ve seen they are decidedly mediocre as a sex, very egotistical, gun loving, hate-filled, quick to anger, slow witted and quite dirty minded, with brains that make war and other filth. Extraordinarily gutter-type people.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•War a real threat and Europe not ready, warns Poland's Tusk259·1 年前All of us are in the pre-world War III era and we’re gearing up quickly for it. In many ways it’s already underway, and we’re just now starting to get ready go make it even more massive and global.
Welcome to the 21st century where men have evolved into nothing more than war mongering utter pieces of filthy shit. This is what will be all our legacy, a world scorched into oblivion and not a trace of humanity anywhere left on the planet. Perhaps that’s for the best, really.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Settler leader calls for military action in West Bank 'with the same force as we're using in Gaza'21·1 年前Settler leader should be stoned and beheaded for licking Nazi buttholes and savoring the taste. Israel has become worse than Nazi germany at its most utterly grotesque.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Taliban edict to resume stoning women to death met with horror124·1 年前Just because no one holds you accountable for doing it, how can you justify being sick and evil enough to want to flog or stone somebody. What is going on with these middle eastern assholes?? Is it something in the water they drink or the food they eat that turns these bigoted males into such flagrantly mentally abberant pieces of utter walking dog shit??
Well, my advice is, if you’re a middle-eastern woman, arm yourself any way you can and strike first. Throw the first stone, you might just crush the worthless skull of one of these misogynistic women-hating anti-human pieces of maggot infested filth, and do the world an immense favor.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Brussels passes bill to prevent purchase of products from Israeli West Bank settlements33·1 年前All of our countries should be imposing bans on ANTYHING being imported from Israel ever again, and from anything they produce being brought overseas. Israel is a cesspool of murderous hate, and we cannot and should not support hem in any way, in any form, at any time.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•A Filipino villager is nailed to a cross for the 35th time on Good Friday to pray for world peace94·1 年前What a sick idea that we should celebrate a human being nailed to a cross, yuck. Another example of how religious beliefs are grotesque in the extreme and I’d rather believe in humanity instead of some supernatural shit like this.
There was no such person as Jesus and there never has been and there never as any such thing as “god” either. Stop being ignorant blind fools, people. Leave your shackles of religious nut-jobbery behind, go out and enjoy life and have some fun. Turn this “good Friday” into a GREAT Friday.
tygerprints@kbin.socialto Atheism@lemmy.world•Florida's 'Pregnancy Crisis Centers’ Blatantly Mix Church and State - Factkeepers.com1·1 年前The bible. PHHBBLlllpptt. I’d sooner use the Anarchists Cookbook as a guide to how to lead my life. People who say they follow the guidelines of the bible are liars, because nobody could follow all the commands in the bible and still exist, it’s impossible. We’re not saints or angels and we were never meant to be.
We’re the rough smut of beasts, as Walt Whitman put it. We’re human animals and we shouldn’t pretend to anything more, we need to start helping each other and realizing we’re in this mess together and no fictional supernatural being is going to come to our rescue or provide us any sort of comfort.
No one with any self worth or dignity should try to live their life by what the “bible” says. No real human could, and it is totally full of contradictions and hypocrisy at every turn.
