    I always find it ironic that some people who have survived a catastrophic event thank 'God' without bearing in mind that the same deity must have therefore decided that those who perished in the same event were not worthy of sparing.

    Re: 307 mass shooting

    This is a great book, it was sent to me to help cure me of all those silly conspiracy theories but it actually had the opposite effect, imo Sagan was very awake and it was pretty obvious to me that he could see a future for this planet that he didn't like..

    Carl Sagan - The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
    http://www.metaphysicspirit.com/book...ed%20World.pdf

    If you don't have time to read the whole thing there are some greats quotes from it..
    https://www.goodreads.com/work/quote...he-dark?page=2

    “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

    that actually looks very interesting Bales Thank you mate
    thats going on my Christmas list

    your question has kind of stumped me with it being so philosophical
    but for me personally it was
    my earliest possible memory would be when I was 6 years of age
    I had a cream coloured Labrador dog named Sandy.
    One winter on a walk over the woods in the snow he ran across the ice on the river the ice broke and he went under and got trapped
    firemen even waded in on with a rope attached to them to bring him out gave him the kiss the life
    as I prayed for Sandy to be alright , he wasn't he died
    then I got slightly older 8 or 9 maybe
    and I possibly just did not buy it and religious people always came across as untrustworthy cruel hypocrites I don't think it was an individual or a group of of people generally , something instinctively felt it was a form of control "do this or you will be hurt"
    my fathers side of the family my Grandfathers funeral service was last year was a humanist service
    my mothers parents they was in a church with mass (optional)
    Maybe media,tv ect has had an impact or maybe as you get a bit older you read more literature, get information I don't know,
    Wasn't karl Marx that quoted something about religion being the opium to the people (I'm not sure on the exact quote)

    what about you mate ?
    I think the answer is in the above mentioned book. You can make people believe absolutely anything if you know how. It worked for around 2,000 years regarding religion, but I'm guessing that with the advent TV, radio & media, religion was allowed or even encouraged to die, as it had already served it's purpose. There is also the socialist/communist subversive element which included the destruction of religion as a core doctrine, but by this time the Tavistock Institute and others like Edward Bernays had already worked out how to replace it.

    Once you know the rules of the game the role of slogans, repeat messaging, news by ommision, nudge units, propaganda, misinformation/disinformation, conformation bias, bogeymen, etc, becomes very clear. We are like putty in the hand for those who have agendas and big ideas to implement

    Another potentially interesting thread descends into the same old stuff by the same 2 posters.

    I am sure I have watched an interview or a documentary about the Tavistock Institute
    about their methods of social engineering and brainwashing
    I understand its non profit charity too ?

    Anyone who describes modern capitalism as an ugly prison gets my vote , sounds like a cracking read

    People in this thread seem to be putting forward their thoughts an an articulate manner and without getting into personal spats and making ad hominem attacks. If you are the original Croesy Blue you should perhaps take note.
