This is a normal post Despite the slightly awkward bit with the refugees
someone who supports national industries and then gives all the profits to charity is all right in my book. I mean, I'd like to know which charities, and what his wage is, but the guy's got a sense of humour.

This is a normal post I think it's more that he's using them in countries like Pakistan and Yemen where there is not a declaration of war
And as such are outside of the battlefield.

They are also a lot easier to use than say an aircraft that has a couple of pilots at risk and can be shot down by that nations air defenses.

There's apparently laws about who you can drop bombs on and how it's done.

This is a normal post They appear to be killing a greater proportions of civilians.
I know that a pilot has a limited view of the ground and probably the same as the drone operator.
But I suspect there's an element of disconnection for the one not currently over the battle field.

[edit]
Also most of the drone attacks are carried out by the C.I.A
Who are civilians and not legally allowed to go round blowing people up IIRC
A lot of people picked up by the U.S are denied prisoner of war status because they're classed as civilians.

This is a normal post I don't know if that is so
A fighter bomber can have quite low ground visabilty and the pilot has a lot more to do. Let's face it, bombing from the air in any format has always killed innocents or friends. More than once we sank our own ships during WW2.

This is a normal post That's a bullshit argument and you know it.
By that logic only people who have worked in westminster can comment on the actions of politicians.
Only other police officers can judge the actions of their colleagues.

I don't know what you did or saw there and I don't care.
Maybe you're military, mercenary, war corespondent, extreme tourist or whatever IRL
You may have seen some really horrific stuff that would turn me against anyone man, woman or child that calls their god Allah if I had gotten off my fat ass and done what you have.

I can still point to a lying fucking president that is engaging in a sloppy, undeclared war against a supposed ally killing a large amount of civilians that the left is giving a free ride on because he's not the other guy.

Because from my uneducated position he's making a lot of noise, killing a lot of people that didn't need killing and royally pissing off a nuclear power

Undermining the government there bolstering support for a religious right that has no business anywhere near nuclear weapons. Who's secret service (I have been told not seen for my own eyes of course) is supporting.

This is a normal post More and more Taliban & their supporters should be killed by drone strikes.
This will enable the Pak military to keep better control their territory and enable many, many others to have a less shit time than they would otherwise. Still, if you know this and still want hundreds of thousands of innocent people to suffer at the hands of Islamist lunatics then fine, point your finger and scream/shout/etc, good for you. The kid shaggers, the 'girls should not learn to read' gang, hand/head choppers and the female genital mutilators are very pleased that you are inadvertently supporting their work.

I mean that's the only 2 choices available isn't it?

And if you're concerned about all that then there's large amounts of Africans that could do with some of Obamas tender loving care via bombs. Genital mutilation of women,limb removing and raping of children has been very popular for a long time.

If you been accusing me of supporting whaling and seal clubbing because I didn't support Obama bombing the shipyards of Japan and Norway.
And previously boasting about how you enjoy eating nice whale steak whilst wearing your baby seal fur coat then I may have brought that up too.

it's to do with pre-Christian pagan reverence of tree spirits. I never even heard that explanation.
The "devil" might be a character in Christianity but there's no Christian logic to the salt thing.
Nobody has to prove the sanctity of the number 12. What does that even mean?

What you seem to be doing is confusing things that religious people made up, with things that come from religion. Isaac Newton was religious, and well into the occult as well, I guess calculus must be superstition.

This is a normal post Religion is something that religious people made up,
ok let's accept that. But that doesn't mean that everything a religious person makes up is religion.

What I'm trying to say is, superstition is a specific sort of made up thing, that isn't made up because of someone's religious beliefs (although it may be rationalised with them) but can be made up by anybody for any reason. The simple explanation is that people are just weird. And a lot of superstitions might have originally been jokes, carried on because they were funny, and then carried on because they were familiar. Like the memes we have on here.

There is no concept of good or bad luck in Christianity. You won't find any discussion of black cats or breaking mirrors in the Theology books, other than perhaps to condemn such beliefs.

This is a normal post Superstition is really more like a sort of naive science,
things that are "bad luck," sympathetic magic etc are laws of nature rather than caused by supernatural forces or beings. Quite a lot of people I know are superstitious but also atheists, new agers typically describe themselves as naturalists. It's nonsensical causality resulting from various cognitive biases, otherwise called "magical thinking".

Religion is a belief in some kind of intelligent purpose behind the universe, that transcends it, and is due some kind of worship. I don't know if an institution is necessary for someone to be religious.

A lot of religious people are superstitious, though, as some religions give a kind of outlet for it.

This is a normal post I don't know how a point about the meaning of words could be anything else.
Although actually I find it very hard to define religion. Superstition seems far easier to put my finger on, but the problem with religion is that it doesn't form a coherent class of things. I don't know why Buddhism should be a religion, and communism not one. There's no god in Buddhism, it's more like a sort of folk psychology.

I think it's made more difficult by the fact that superstition and religion aren't mutually exclusive. You can be both. In fact they seem to exist in a sort of cycle, religions can turn into superstitions once people forget what they are about but carry on going through the motions. (Is Christmas a superstition?) While superstitions can become religions if they get rationalised and worked into a metaphysical framework. Certain religious ideas, for instance, Karma, seem quite superstitious. See Just World Hypothesis.

Maybe an example would help. I think if you believe there is a god who can answer your prayers, that's religions. If you believe in "the power of prayer", as if praying had power in itself without divine intervention, that's superstitious. It's not just "believing in things you can't see". It's believing that the things you can see somehow react in spookily (in)convenient ways (which is often confirmed by experience because of confirmation bias).

Another example. I've never heard of anyone say that homeopathy worked because of gods, it's because "water has memory" somehow; they rationalise it pseudoscientifically.

This is a normal post it's the old neolithic shamanism coming back out from under the catholic rug,
under which it was swept from the 4th century onwards. I don't know why these kinds of beliefs are coming back into fashion now, but it's much like the last days of the Roman Empire.

well, I won't claim to know anything about that, but coming from a family of Catholics, all the women (it does tend to be women for some reason) in my extended family, and many (most?) of their Catholic female friends have all visited psychics, most have at least 2 or 3 Doris Stokes books, watch and chat about Derek Acorah's latest TV show etc...not a scientfic study but I know a lot of wmen and most of the Catholic ones seem to lap up this 'beyond the grave' stuff.

This is a normal post non-Catholics and even non-Christians seem no less taken in by it, in my experience.
it seems paradoxical that people who don't believe in God should believe in immortal souls but they still do. My mum believes that every dog she gets is the reincarnation of the last one. My gran believes in Tarot and auras etc.
