Apparently many of the wealthy Romans didn't even believe in the gods, they just thought it was a good way to string the plebs along.

I’ve been watching a fair whack of theological debates online recently - decent to watch on then bike trainer while locked down.

‘The hierarchical approach of gods amongst pagans in Ancient Rome and Greece was scorned by monotheists and I remember it from school history (Christian  brothers school) that the scorn lasted to the present that they would pray for  different things for different gods.

Then I thought back to my Nan, who used to do Novenas to different saints for different shit, and how there is a patron saint for archery, one for the sick, one for the poor, and it’s the same gig as the pagans repackaged.

I think the idea of God has changed a lot since Roman times, they were believed to have once been mortal, the omnipotent father in the sky thing is a bit later.

 

Francesca Stavrokopoulois has a book coming out later this year on the body of god. Should be good, she’s fucking smart and tasty.

The Leonard Cohen estate have joined the long list of artists and their heirs to tell this cunt to stop playing their music.

One of the main reasons the evangelicals support him is that he's given them 2 supreme court judges who are both extreme right wingers themselves and are both vehemently pro life. They see that as the key to instigating their word view and abortion is the highest on their list of priorities to get overturned. I'm amazed it hasn't already happened, but roe v wade will be tested severely if the orangutan gets in again.

That cunt jerry fallwell was one of the key men to organise the Christian right into the most powerful voting block in America in the 50s and 60s and they've infested American politics ever since. They've played a brilliant long game to give them their dues and they have been proselytising to their flock for years on who to vote for, contrary to all laws that prohibit that.

What a completely fucked up country and its only going to get worse, no matter what side wins

I'm not sure Kermit has the gravitas or vocal range to pull it off.  Sam the Bald Eagle however is another matter.

Trumps post convention survey. Just in case you think it's a piss take, it's not. Well it is, but it's not meant to be.

Seems like it won’t take your vote if you provide anti-Trump answers. Either that or they’re onto the fact I’m not Napoleon Dynamite.

Where’s the Do you believe Donald J. Trump is a lying, racist, sexist, fascist piece of shit who is not fit to hold the office of President of the United States of America question?

Micheal Moore has said Trump will win, again, and handsomely.

 

I hope against hope he’s wrong, but he called it last time.

[Rico1304]

Evens now.  3/1 a week ago.  
 

The left always eats itself.  

[littletedwest]

No real dog for the left in that fight though

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Imagine even suggesting that Biden is "the left." 

 

By 'eck! 

[Section_31]

Hoping this is true and Moore is just trying to guard against complacency. Sadly I think Black fellas getting killed and the resulting fallout has presented Trump with an issue to campaign on, like 'the wall'. Racism wrapped up in the cloke of order and security as opposed to the 'radical left' who will 'de fund the police'. 

 

If the cunt wins again though I'm gonna be beyond gutted, it's proper fall of civilisation shit. 

 

 

American historian Allan Lichtman has correctly predicted every U.S. presidential election winner since 1984, and this year he says Democratic nominee Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States.

"I am predicting, contrary to my 2016 predictions, that with seven keys out against him -- one more than is needed to predict his defeat -- Trump is going to lose this time," Lichtman told CTV's Your Morning on Thursday.

Lichtman was one of the only forecasters who predicted U.S. President Donald Trump's victory in 2016. At the time he also correctly predicted that Trump would be impeached.

"In 2016 I defied all the conventional wisdom and made myself very unpopular in 90 per cent plus Democratic Washington, D.C. by predicting a Trump victory," Lichtman said.

You have to take into account that everybody else in Britain to the right of Rico works for a national newspaper.

The US voting system is totally fucked. Hillary Clinton actually won more votes overall in the last election but because trump won more votes in the 'Battleground States', that resulted in his election. I don't know how that can be seen as representative of America that only certain states actually count. 

[Stickman]

That modern day Nostradamus, Dan Hodges is predicting a Trump defeat....

 

So that’s Biden fucked
