Comment Re:14 day rule? (Score 1) 63

Actually, my imaginary sky-wizard's biographer said that the true abortion cut-off time is several hours before the first division. Therefore, by saying otherwise, you are going against their wishes, and I will make it my job to force said imaginary sky-wizard's biographer's instructions down your throat.

So what? You still haven't answered the question.

Comment Re: Religion is belief without evidence (Score 1) 517

But the nazis were not anti-religion like the communists.

From the Oxford Research Encyclopedias:

The NSDAP’s attitude toward the Christian churches was nonetheless ambivalent, swinging from co-optation to outright hostility. This ambivalence was founded in part on a pragmatic recognition of Church power and the influence of Christianity across the German population, but it simultaneously reflected an ideological rejection of Judeo-Christian values that a number of Nazi leaders saw as antithetical to National Socialism.

In a few words, the Nazi ideology was opposed to Christianity. The main reason Nazis didn't outright attack or convert all Christians by force is that many of the Nazis were raised as Christians, so the Roman-Catholic church had a lot of influence. It is obvious that if they had won the war, they would have tried to eradicate Christianity.

Also, Nietzsche's Übermensch was central to the Nazi ideology, and it is accompanied with atheism ("death of God"). Thus, it is obvious that Nazism is hostile to Christianity in particular and was based on atheism as an ideology. More evidence about the link between atheism and Nazism is in the speech by the Reichsorganisationsleiter in 1936:

It was all due to the faith of one man! Yes, you who called us godless, we found our faith in Adolf Hitler, and through him found God once again. That is the greatness of our day, that is our good fortune!

He clearly says that people regard Nazis as atheists and that their god is Hitler!

There is very little history where there are any atheist groups present.

Indeed, yet the periods during which atheistic regimes ruled are notorious for crimes against humanity, at scale unprecedented in history! If you insist that the sole cause of the conflicts throughout history is religion, which is something ridiculous to claim, then how do you explain that the Crusaders sacked Constantinople in 1204 instead of attacking Muslims? There are many such examples throughout history. What you claim might be true about western Christianity, but I'm not certain at the moment. In general, the main cause of conflicts seems to be greed, but I'm not a historian.

The Nazi regime, from your own reference(!), demonstrated:

fundamental hostility to Christ and his Church

according to the Roman-Catholics of the time and it is likely that it intended to eradicate Christianity after the war, according to historians. In any case, if you still insist that what you say is true, please show me where in the Bible it is approved or encouraged by God to perform mass murder of Jews, dissidents etc.

The atrocities committed by the nazis and the communists pale in comparison to the people executed in the name of various religions and most notably in the name of the abrahamic god.

You two keep repeating this lie, but there is not a single shred of truth to it. Historically, people following atheistic ideologies/religions and regimes murdered millions of people on earth, committing crimes unprecedented in history. Against this historical fact is your vague assertion, which is simply historically wrong. I can pinpoint exactly when and where the historical events I claim happened and they are well known to all of humanity; can you do the same about yours?

the morality of the religious is generally worse than that of atheists.

Most of history's most egregious crimes, especially the most numerous, were performed by atheists or atheistic regimes (communists, Nazis following the Übermensch belief). It is hard to imagine that you've never heard of their crimes!

According to the article:

Abnormal findings on physical examination and diagnostic testing were uncommon.

Exploratory studies found no evidence of persistent viral infection, autoimmunity, or abnormal immune activation in participants with PASC.

Patients with "long COVID" did not have detectable viral load or any obvious way for the virus to have caused the effects the patients claim; actually, there is no evidence that there is anything wrong with their health at all!

Comment Re:Facebook, make up your mind (Score 1) 126

That's interesting, because I'm aware of at least a few occasions when Church bishops etc were making statements Facebook regards as false, but they are actually demonstrably true. The latest example was regarding the Pfizer vaccine and the use of aborted fetus lines for its testing, in which Pfizer/BioNTech scientists themselves were stating that they used these fetus lines and the fact checkers of Facebook claimed that this is misinformation!

This is the last time I'm responding to you, as it's blatantly obvious that you don't like discussing with people on good terms.

No, there are no such indications.

From the linked article:

Two cases of fatal myocarditis have also been reported in Israel, but the panel says investigations of those deaths were inconclusive; one patient may have had a more generalized inflammatory syndrome, and the other diagnosis was "not verified," the report says.

There are indications that 2 died because of this, but the reports are not conclusive.

Fact remains: you are an idiot.

Typical angel'o'sphere...

How exactly should an mRNA based vaccine have stronger/more difficult side effects than a vaccine based on the original virus or a modified Ardeno virus? Opps? Can't. Impossible. "Long term" is already impossible, as the stuff is gone after 10 days max. If a "vaccine" has a long term side effect, or even short term death: then it is in the mixture of fluids that are used to administer it, like with the AZ vaccine.

This is nonsense. First of all, if a vaccine has the same adverse effects as the virus, then there's no point in taking it. A theory about the AZ vaccine is that its design triggers the same adverse effects as the virus itself. About the mRNA ones, the explanation may be in the article I sent you earlier:

There’s no question these [vaccines] are extremely immune-generating,

I think that actually the mRNA is a kind of natural adjuvant,” which ramps up the immune response, he says.

Guess what? This is what Covid-19 also triggers and results in the cytokine storm, albeit the mechanism is different.

Your answers still don't make much sense to me, as my responses include relevant peer-reviewed research or official statements, and yours mostly wrong and self-contradictory claims (vaccines don't have long-term side-effects, but they can kill people!) and insults.

No it is not "more dangerous". It got revoked because it has side effects, deadly even. But less than COVID. That is why /. idiots like you run rampart and say: conspiracy, why did it get retraced. It actually got reinstalled for ppl over 60.

I've never mentioned any "conspiracy" so far, nor "retracing"(!), just plain facts, which you seem to be having a very hard time coming to terms with. Are you saying that a Covid vaccine has been withdrawn for certain age groups because it benefits them? You've made several ridiculous claims so far, it won't surprise me at all if you add another to them! According to the Australian government:

COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca can be used in adults aged under 60 years where the benefits are likely to outweigh the risk

A reasonable person could have deduced it easily, but such you're obviously not!

Nope. They are not. And there is no plausible explanation/reason why they could.

Tell that to the doctors that investigate exactly this, along with the EMA. Also, there are reports from Israel about this.

Stupid idiot.

You seem to be confused, as every time you call me so, reliable references support my arguments in contrast to yours.

They can not have a long term side effect, because they are mRNA vaccines. OOPS, I assume that is to complicated to grasp for you. How exactly would a vaccine that only produces "primers" for the immune system to target on have a long term side effect? Exaxtly: you have no clue. Because: it can't have a slong term side effect.

The fact remains that mRNA vaccines have not been studied for long-term side-effects. You may be right that there is no such side-effect, but there are indications that a rare side-effect may be death. Medical doctors, who are obviously more knowledgeable about such matters than you, suggest possible explanations here.

(Hint: is there any vaccine in the world for any disease that has a long term side effect? Not that I'm aware of, google is your friend, sent us a link)

Is death temporary or the purpose of the vaccines you refer to? In case you still don't get it, have a look here.

This is just anti vaxxer bollocks. What can happen if you take the vaccine? Basically nothing.

The Astrazeneca Covid 19 vaccine is more dangerous than Covid-19 for certain age groups, so it has been withdrawn in many countries in Europe for these age groups. It has never been approved in the US. The mRNA vaccines are known to cause issues with the heart.

Stupid idiot.

This is ironic, considering your wrong claims.

Wrong: it is longer.

Longer than long-term immunity? What are your sources for this ridiculous claim?

Wrong, has nothing to do with vaccine or not, only if it works against mutations or not.

This makes no sense. There is research showing that natural immunity is minimally affected by the mutations.

Two wrongs again: vaccines do not have long term side effects, regardless what technology or known or unknown.

Is death a long-term side-effect? The Astrazeneca vaccine is known to cause deaths. The mRNA vaccines have never been studied for long-term side-effects, so I'm not certain how you can be adamant about this, if you're as clever as you claim to be. If the experts are so certain about the vaccines' safety, why don't they have approval by the FDA?
