A hill you are prepared to die on

[xxxx01]

What is your hill you are prepared to die on.

Mine is the moon landing was fake.
Botox makes you look older.
Sex is overrated.
Some art work is not art its crap.

1. People who let their dogs lick their faces are grim;

1. We live in a society now where many are so entitled they ask what society owes them, not what they can do for society;

1. Grace has gone out the window;

1. Sex with the right person can be completely under-rated;

1. Some people, young or old, are simply tossers;

1. Abortion is wrong in many instances;

They aren't the same thing.
In your version of gentle parenting, how do you enforce not walloping your parents/sister/doing your homework/brushing your teeth?

come on, I'm using the term deities loosely to describe a phenomenon, not specifically in terms of Hinduism, Shinto etc

the anthropomorphism of the various gods in man's own inflated image is documented in all the major monotheistic religious texts- that is incontrovertible

Other people’s packed lunches smell like poo and rotten food

State pensioners are not morally superior to people on Universal Credit

A huge proportion of the “underclass” have borderline learning disabilities and have been failed.

Dogs smell horrible, are unpredictable, and shouldn’t be indoors

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary.

I agree with this, in a way. I never believed in Santa, my grandmother openly sneered at the concept, and my parents didn’t bother to use stories to moralise me: they knew it didn’t work at all, I took pride in knowing that stories were made up. (I did briefly believe in the tooth fairy, but it wasn’t used as a moral for cleaning teeth.) I remember this dialogue between my dad and my brother, he was seven or eight at the time:

Dad (reading Roald Dahl’s The Witches): In fairy tales, witches wear silly black hats and cloaks, and they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale: this is about REAL witches.
Brother: (anxiously) Is this true?
Dad: (without hesitation) No.

Agree! It also tastes like an animal’s back end - I’m not even vegan myself, and will eat dairy in a pinch, but it really is revolting

What’s with the dog hating?
I let my dog lick my face, sometimes even on the lips.
I know she’s clean
I can go out in the world and meet an unpredictable woman and I can only trust to providence whether she’s clean or not.
Unless she smells worse than a dog, which don’t smell if you look after them.

Which ones?

Islam Christianity Judaism?

I don’t disagree with some of what you say especially regarding high earners. Non British citizens though, shouldn’t be entitled to any benefits unless they’ve paid in to the system for a set number of years and those on minimum wage jobs longer. If they lose their job and can’t afford to stay out with that, then they would have to move back to their home country. I think that’s fair.

Where is the anthropomorphism in Islam?

There certainly isn't!

Muhammad and Allah?

There is a very clear hierarchy of European cuisine, and it significantly overlaps with visual beauty of particular countries. Italy is at the top. Bulgaria is at the bottom with Malta scraping next to bottom.

Additionally abd answering the OP question…

“Strictly” is boring, formulaic, totally unsexy and makes me want to saw my leg off.

What? Can you explain please?

A stranger’s dog went for me and bit me recently! I wouldn’t put up with that from a stranger lady either 😁

Mohammed was a man, not a deity.

God
Yahweh
Allah

Point still stands

Religion has zero to do with why the earth formed 4.6 billion years ago, the astrological events that happened in this portion of the universe occurred by cosmic fluke and not God's will

There was a chance in the dim and distance past for some form of "religion" to be a moral guide, but it the entire concept was bastardised for power, conquest and hiding of knowledge - in case people discovered by using science that we weren't at the centre of the universe, after all

What about Scandinavia?
They just eat rotten fish and meatballs but the countries are very beautiful

Indeed.

Allah?

How does your point still stand when Mohammed was a man and not anthropomorphism of a deity?

That religion is just man made rubbish and causes far too much conflict, my pretend god is better than your pretend God, total nonsense , and woman are subjugated with it in many societies while men swan around.
God if he even existed would not care a jot if you eat this or can’t eat that or wear this or can’t wear that ,
it’s simply madness.
Dogs are smelly and slobbery and should be kept on leads, there should be a closed off bit off the park for them and children should be able to run around the rest not the other way around, hotels restaurants do not need to be dog friendly I’d rather go to one that will not have dogs.

Tatoos do not make you edgy or a rebel and don’t look nice.
Children should not have screens till much older , it’s lazy parenting stuck on a screen or parents phone.

Allah is not a man. How is that anthropomorphism?
