Freedom of speech has its limits? Seriously?

The Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said some things about freedom of speech and expression and showed the total ignorance of the World. One would expect something from the West, however as USA has dominated the world and want to make the planet United States of Earth in one way or the other, one cannot expect anything.
The West has lived in Middle Ages and after Renaissance tried to bring civilisation back, but there were Reformation and Counter-Reformation before things could move on with Enlightenment. Countries like Germany, Russia were always reactionary and the USA after an encouraging start fell in authoritarianism as well.
Freedom of expression and speech is no problem; monotheism is, once again. If reason was used there wouldn't be any problems, but monotheistic faiths in religion, politics and culture are the problem. A reasonable person will express his ideas with arguments and would be ashamed to be caught lying or making an evident mistake. That is not the case with monotheists. Monotheists believe in an unintelligible truth, so everything worldly is of no matter to them. They will try anything to convert anybody to their truth so they and the whole humanity can be saved.
Beliefs have ruined political and philosophical thought. Now everybody has a belief system about everything and doesn't have to defended it with knowledge and reason. People have become or stayed practically illiterate, unable to read a text or listen to a speech. There aren't any intellectual anymore, just hypersensitive celebrities. 
Schools should be teaching virtues like taking responsibility -Trudeau's example of shouting fire-, but Trudeaus, Bidens, Johnsons and Merkels are controlled by people like Trump so money desides everything. Now that computers produce money in phony stockmarkets, nobody has to learn anything. Everything goes by trial and error.
If somebody's hurt, that's life, he can express his feelings and his thoughts as well. The West should adhere to the Ancient Greek Worldview, because that is what made the West great.

Pope Francis against Modern Western World!

The problem is how he and the WASPs intend to solve the "problem"?

Pope Francis against Modernity
"
Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, seems to be on a crusade against paganism – the original and vibrant indigenous religions across the planet that Christians destroyed in the centuries past.
In a pre-Christmas speech, the pope told some 20,000 pilgrims and tourists gathered in St Peter’s
Square in Vatican City: “Even we Christians, who are also the people of God, risk becoming worldly
and losing our identity, ‘paganising’ the Christian style.” (1)
Three days earlier in November the pope said at his Santa Marta guesthouse: “The paganisation of
life can occur, in our case the Christian life. Do we live as Christians? It seems like we do. But really
our life is pagan, when these things happen: when we are seduced by Babylon, and Jerusalem lives
like Babylon. The two seek a synthesis which cannot be effected. And both are condemned. Are you
a Christian? Are you Christian? Live like a Christian. Water and oil do not mix. They are always
distinct. A contradictory society that professes Christianity but lives like a pagan shall end.” (2)
Not only is Francis indulging in hate speech against non-Christians, it seems attacking pagans has
become an annual feature for the man in the funny robe. In 2016 in Assisi, Italy, he lamented that
indifference among Christians was “giving rise to a new and deeply sad paganism”. (3)
In November 2014, in his daily homily for mass at the Vatican, the pope had urged the faithful against
leading a “pagan life” for pagans are “enemies of the cross”. (4)

What’s eating the Pope?

Why is the pope so obsessed with paganism that blasting this group has become an annual prChristmas diatribe? The New Advent Catholic encyclopaedia (5) defines paganism: “Paganism, in the broadest sense includes all religions other than the true one revealed by God, and, in a narrower
sense, all except Christianity, Judaism and Mohammedanism. The term is also used as the
equivalent of polytheism….The word is derived from the Latin pagus, whence pagani (i.e. those who
live in the country), a name given to the country folk who remained heathen after the cities had
become Christian.”
You get the picture: the reason Francis has been so aggressively vocal about paganism is that
Christians are alarmed at its comeback. The church has been fighting paganism – or more correctly,
committing genocide of pagans – since the time of Christ, but what is new is its “aggressive
resurgence” and its “seduction of so many Christians”. (6)
After centuries of decline and decimation, natural religions are making a comeback in a major way
worldwide. After nearly two millennia of blind adherence to so-called monotheism, which divided the world into “believers” and “heathens”, increasing numbers of people across the world, especially in the West, are returning to their roots – the ancient pagan religions based primarily on piety towards
divinity and traditional authorities.
To be sure, the presence of more than a billion Hindus who have preserved their ancient dharma –
despite 1,400 years of foreign invasions, alien rule and barbaric treatment – is living proof of the
resilience of natural religions. While it was the bravery and indefatigable spirit of Hindu warriors that
saved India from going down like Persia, Greece, Rome, Egypt and Mesopotamia, in other parts of
the world paganism survived only as fragments or as a memory. And yet paganism is rising phoenixlike from the ashes of inquisition, forcible conversion and genocide.

What’s brewing out West?

There is an irresistible surge of paganism worldwide, which has found expression in movies like
Avatar, Thor and the Harry Potter series. The success of such movies worldwide suggests a deep
desire among people there for a more spiritually satisfying life with the added bonus of a richer
pantheism. When you compare the diverse, beautiful and fun loving gods (and goddesses) of pagan
religions with the morbid image of a bleeding corpse nailed to a cross, it isn’t hard to see why rational
people are deserting Christianity for paganism.
Many American “are no longer seeking solace for their souls in the arms of Christianity… today’s
most popular forms of spirituality are those associated with the occult, neopaganism and witchcraft”
(7).
In the last several decades, Wicca and neopaganism have gained surprising influence in nominally
“Christian” churches, where one might not normally expect to find workshops on astrology, tarot card
reading, channelling and goddess worship. “Some witches and neopagans are now senior pastors of
large denominational churches. It is an event unprecedented in the history of Christendom.” (8).
Wicca and neopaganism are also surging in popularity on some college campuses, even those
associated with “Christian” denominations. One professor, a self-proclaimed lesbian feminist witch,
“is spearheading a campaign to turn Christianity into nothing less than a neopagan, goddessworshipping religion”. (9)
Noted Jewish author Don Feder writes in ‘A Jewish Conservative Looks at Pagan America’ that the
United States is no longer a Christian nation. “Ours is increasingly polytheistic,” he says. (10)
Feder’s observation is backed by facts. In the US, there is a burgeoning interest in Druidry, Hinduism,
Buddhism, Wicca, Kabbala and Tantra among others. The high profile conversion of actor Julia
Roberts to Hinduism apart, there is huge interest in Eastern dharma. This move to pagan – or
dharmic beliefs if you will – is aided by the decline of Christianity.
According to the 2009 American Religious Identification Survey, (11) the percentage of self-identified Christians fell 10 percentage points since 1990, from 86 to 76 per cent.
A more recent survey titled America’s Changing Religious Identity (2017), by the Public Religion
Research Institute (12) says there are 20 states in which no religious group comprises a greater
share of residents than the religiously unaffiliated. These states tend to be more concentrated in the
western US, although they include a couple of New England states as well. “More than four in ten (41per cent) residents of Vermont and approximately one-third of Americans in Oregon (36 per cent),
Washington (35 per cent), Hawaii (34 per cent), Colorado (33 per cent) and New Hampshire (33 per
cent) are religiously unaffiliated.”
This drift away from Christianity is causing a dramatic transformation in the way Americans perceive
the world. For instance, the proportion of Americans who think religion “can answer all or most of
today’s problems” is now at a historic low of 48 percent. (11) More than a fourth of Americans do not
expect a religious funeral at their death, indicating that they dismiss monotheism’s zero-sum offer of
heaven or hell.

Old heroes in the New World

Pagan icons and heroes continue to inspire modern nations in the Americas. Take Hatuey, one of the
most important people in Cuban history. When the murderous Christian fanatics from Spain landed
on the island, killing the peaceful Caobanans indiscriminately, this pagan chief rallied his people with
the words: “They tell us, these tyrants, that they adore a God of peace and equality, and yet they
usurp our land and make us their slaves. They speak to us of an immortal soul and of their eternal
rewards and punishments, and yet they rob our belongings, seduce our women, violate our
daughters.”
Hatuey conducted a brilliant guerrilla war from the hills and forests of Cuba, creating terror among the Spanish but was betrayed by a traitor, no doubt a converted Christian. He was captured in February 1512 and burned alive at the stake.
The story that every Cuban child learns is that before Hatuey was burned, a priest asked him if he
would accept Jesus and go to heaven. Spanish historian Bartolomé Las Casas wrote of the reaction
of the chief: Hatuey, thinking a little, asked the religious man if Spaniards went to heaven. The
religious man answered yes… The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go
there but to hell where he would not see such cruel people. (13)

Europe looks back

Across the Atlantic, Europe is a virtual graveyard of abandoned churches. “Christianity as a default,
as a norm, is gone, and probably gone for good – or at least for the next 100 years,” says Stephen
Bullivant, a professor of theology and the sociology of religion at St Mary’s University in London. (14)
The continent’s march towards a post-Christian society has been starkly illustrated by research
showing a majority of young people in a dozen countries do not follow a religion. The European
Social Survey 2014-16 found the Czech Republic is the least religious country in Europe, with 91 per
cent of that age group saying they have no religious affiliation. Between 70 per cent and 80 per cent
of young adults in Estonia, Sweden and the Netherlands also categorise themselves as nonreligious.
In predominantly Catholic Italy, over 60 per cent of Italians have stopped attending confession.
In the UK, a British Unitarian vicar moonlights in his spare time as a Druid, and celebrates ancient
pagan festivals. Websites across the country advertise a full calendar of witchcraft festivals in
England, Scotland and Wales, as the pagan revival spreads across Britain.
In the 1950’s Britain repealed archaic laws against witchcraft. “Paganism found an ally in the
ecological and feminist movements of the 1960s,” says the BBC. Pagan philosophies appealed to
many eco-activists, who also saw Nature as sacred and recognised the Great Goddess as Mother
Nature. The image of the witch was taken up by feminists as a role-model of the independent
powerful woman, and the single Great Goddess as the archetype of women’s inner strength and
dignity.”
Every year, thousands of people – pagans, druids and, well, people who like to party all night long –
flock to Stonehenge to celebrate mid-June’s summer solstice. By the time the winter solstice swings
round on 21 December, the short daylight hours and dismal weather mean significantly fewer people
tend to brave the elements to stand by some giant stones in Wiltshire – or at other places of Druidic
interest. Most who do brave the winter solstice are, just like King Arthur, Druids. (15)
Across the continent, young European pagans are reclaiming tribal identities. There is a huge revival
of native interest in Norse, Celtic, Prussian and other ancient traditions. The Prusi, an indigenous
people of former Prussia, thought to be extinct since the Crusades, are among those making a
determined comeback.
In 1982 the Prusi discovered the ruins of Truso, a Prussian village described in the Wulfstam’s
chronicle 1100 years ago. The village is undergoing reconstruction by the descendants of the Prusi,
seeking to recover their heritage. This indigenous cultural renaissance is taking root as far afield as
Russia, where Prusi descendants in the Kaliningrad region of Russia are also working hard to
recover their pagan Prusi heritage and identity.
The lesson to be learned from the Prusi is that even when native title is dead and gone, colonialism
and Christian conversion can never completely extinguish indigenousness in the hearts of the
people.

Reasons for revival

There are several reasons for the rapidly growing movement that seeks to rediscover dharma. The
most important reason is the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of organised, congregational religion.
The mainstream faiths are no longer popular destinations for those seeking spiritual fulfilment.
Alienated people, feeling disconnected from modern society, are turning to neopaganism to get in
tune with the spirit of the universe.
Another key reason is that paganism – or dharma – does not seek to harvest souls for the sake of
numbers. Rational people cannot for a second believe that blind acceptance of an all-forgiving
sentient being hiding somewhere out there in space will guarantee eternal heaven. In fact, they are
more likely to be repelled by Christianity’s “jealous god” who loves “punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a
thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments”. (16)
And not content with being jealous, he goes on to incite his followers to commit genocide against
innocent people. (17)
The fact that Christianity peddles an infantile philosophy was recognised as soon as it was
introduced into the rational societies of Rome and Greece. In his critique of the “washing away” of
sins, the Phoenician philosopher Porphyry (234–305 CE) said: “It is indeed troubling and confusing to think that a man, once washed of so much pollution and rot, seems all of a sudden to be pure. Is it
not a little curious, this wiping away the stains of a lifetime of immorality simply by getting baptized,
as easily as a snake sloughs off its old skin? I ask, who wouldn’t prefer a life of corruption if he knew
in advance that all would be forgiven him. Such promises encourage those who hear them to sin.”
To be sure, unlike the congregational faiths, natural religions will never have organised churches or
conversion shock troops. However, there are many pagan organisations worldwide, most catering for
specific traditions such as Druidry or Asatru, but a few, such as the Pagan Federation in the UK or
the Pan-Pacific Pagan Alliance in Australia. Pagan hospital visitors and prison ministers are a
recognised part of modern life, and public pagan ceremonies such as Druid rituals and pagan
marriages or funerals take place as a matter of routine.

Conclusion

In June 363 CE, Roman Emperor Julian was murdered by his Christian bodyguard. One of the most
fascinating – and tragic – figures of late antiquity, Julian was the last pagan emperor. During his short
rule this philosopher king fought a valiant battle to save the ancient pagan religions of his empire
from vicious attacks by a new, aggressively proselytising and intolerant religion. This new creed was
Christianity.
Julian, firmly anchored in the Hellenistic religion of the ancient Greeks and Romans, was a liberal
ruler and patronised all religions, including Christianity. The genial emperor was determined to
restore the worship of the gods and the honoured Greek-Roman traditions. He tried to stop the
Christian attacks on the Greek pantheon; he tried to reverse the policies directed against the pagan
Greeks adopted by early Christian Roman emperors. He even intended rebuilding the sacred temple
of the Jews.
Julian’s efforts to revive and support the pagan faiths were cut short when he was murdered by his
Christian bodyguard during a campaign in Persia. They say, those whom the Gods love, die young;
Julian was just 32. With their last patron gone, the pagan religions were doomed. The succeeding
Roman emperors banned the worship of the Hellenic gods. Sacrifices to them were forbidden on the
penalty of death. Millions of pagans were murdered by Christian goons led by newly converted
priests. The Olympic Games, which had been introduced in remote antiquity by the great Greek
warrior Hercules, were stopped. The Christians banned Greek studies and philosophy, freezing
scientific development in Europe for a thousand years.
More than 17 centuries after Julian’s death, paganism is making a comeback in the West. This revival
is a natural phenomenon. It is not led by conversions, allurements, threats or trickery. It is a process
that is led by rational, free-thinking individuals rather than organisations that believe they are more
powerful than national governments.
Emperor Julian must be looking back from his Elysian Fields with a sense of contentment.

The behaviour of the 3 women correlate with that of the bishop


Cypriots are ashamed of those three women and they should be, however that is not enough,


because 40% of them aren't ashamed of this guy, the three quarters of them being proud of him:


60% percent of the Cypriots think that another Archbishop would behave otherwise. Why?

The Archbishop is the spiritual leader of Cyprus, so just feeling embarrassed will not solve any problems.

Christianity teaches that people shouldn't care about the incident, to let God Yahweh decide. God Yahweh will be happy if those three will go to Church and confess the incident to their personal confessors. The punishment will be prayers and fasting.

The Archbishop above had threatened the Cypriot State that if the archaeologists would leave his building site at once he would do it himself using a traktor and destroy everything they had there.

Pregnants and breast-feeding, are they gender stereotypes?

In the UK, two advertisements were banned, because the one shows a female beside a pram and the other two careless dads.
Well incompetent dads isn't too patriarchical, because in more patriarchical societies dads can do everything better, even looking after the children, they just are too strict, women have to be kept busy and men have better things to do.
One doesn't know if all these super sensitive people are actually racists, misogynists, homophobic, bigots and they try to humiliate every idea about human rights; that the plan is to make people sick if they hear about human rights.
How about stopping breastfeeding? That gives extra hours to females to hold babies, so they become more competent on the field.
Then because the genders are 64, there should be a 64-day cycle of people of every gender feeding the babies. Some genders shouldn't have advantages over others.
And because some of the 64 genders are not represented as often as others and so they will have have less time for work and leisure, one should give new born babies to Raising Centers until they are old enough to feed themselves. Then they can go to nurseries and schools, live and sleep there.
Robots might be another solution. Forbid human beings feeding babies, so babies won't become mommy-centered.
That happens when people learn to think monotheistically. They will always act and talk stupidly.
Humanity has to go back to the old Ethnic ways.




Zuckerberg's ideal seems to be a World Protestant Caliphate!

Zuckerberg and many like him in America, they may call themselves Democrats, Leftists, Libertarians, however their ideal system is a World which looks like the caliphates of the Middle Ages.
There will be different people of a book, along as one can be classified. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Stalinists, Fascists, Anarchists, Nationalsocialists etc. However no one will be allowed to exist outside a group. One must have a holy book, have an ideal Jerusalem, an ideal Kingdom to come and submit to inspired authorities. One must live by the rules of his community and submit fully to them.
As leading group, the Protestants will provide the general framework.
There will be tensions between the groups, so that the leading group may use it as a pretext to interfere and people will have enemies to fear, so they will be loyal to their leaders and fellows.
No freedom of choise, as everything will be "alternativeless".
No freedom of speech, as every word will hurt somebody's feelings.
There will be freedom of thought, only as long as they won't be expressed in any form.
Zuckerberg's algorithms seem to protect the claims of the groups over the opinion of individuals. If a group-of-a-book is complaining, then the individuals are wrong and must be punished, even if the members of the group swear and the individuals reply with facts and logic.

If a pregnant uses aubergines the child will be an imam

(Imam bayildi or the imam has fainted is a dish with aubergines)

Another joke about that cypriot bishop. However he is preaching things which are at least as bad as his thoughts about sexuality.
In another video he says that cypriots are not virgins anymore when they marry and he doesn't mean gay sex.
Everything was okay when the island was under ottoman rule presumably, as he begins accussing the British for the loss of the strict morals. And then he accuses the greek refugees from the north of the island. So the problem is that priests cannot control the lifes of their fold, if the latter have contacts with other people. Each person should stay to his local fold.
During the middle ages there were always stories about the devil disguising as hansome young man or a beautiful young woman, so that the people would be afraid to communicate and rather run away.
The same problem is with children, when they visit grandparents or other relatives. If in the neighbourhood everybody is secular, it is okay as long as they know to whom the child belongs. However religious parents, if in minority, oblige their children to do dirty tricks to cause fights between the children. If in the neighbourhood there is a priest living, then xenophobia is at its best.
One thinks that they preach love and peace, but what they preach is the love and peace of God Yahweh and not of our world and those two have nothing to do with one another as the religion is monotheistic, "mono" meaning alone and not one directly.
The problem for them is that they preach different things, as they do not know much about christianity. Only what the bishop tells them and every know and then there is a new bishop. If people from different neighbourhoods come together and discuss religious things as well, people might notice the differences and inaccuracies.

If the pregnant "comes" after her parnter, the kid will be a Liverpool fan!

The title is one of the jokes they were made when a cypriot orthodox bishop, talking on behalf of his God Yahweh, explained the existence of homosexuality.
This bishop however is preaching many other things, like everything pleasurable and satisfying is of Satan. In his example it was about yoga as body exercise and he told a story, which I find very hard to believe, about a handsome young man whom women wouldn't leave alone and the protestant married female trainer of yoga!
However the bishop kept saying that real happiness can be achieved only by praying day and night, fasting and confession under tears and lamentantions. Everything else is of Satan.
Greek philosophy is of Satan, enjoying reading literature is of Satan, chess, crosswords, movies, music, a glass of wine, a good meal, driving, riding a bike, dancing, discussions, hobbies and of course even sex between husband and wife, all of these are of Satan.
Many ignorant people say that one doesn't need to the Church anymore, so there is no problem. They are right that one should avoid the Church anyway one can and never support her for any reason.
The bad news are that the Church has a lot of money. Russia, EU, Greek State give a lot of money for philanthropy, although she doesn't pay for anything. The church people say who is going to have a job, who is going to be voted, who is going to be promoted.
All these people use their position to spread pseudoscience, which is the secularised form of christian teachings. So reading makes people crazy, movies makes people mix reality and fantasy, sport destroys bones and spine, makes fatter, one glass of wine leads to alcoholism, toys with dice or cards lead to gambling, pleasure of sex to pervecities of all kind.
Until 40 years ago, pupils would be punished from the headmaster, if they have been seen watching a movie on saturday afternoon.
These pseudoscientific stuff is now spread as well where pseudo-nonconformists pass their time. Cafeterias, betting shops, bars, stadions and halls. They are also spread as secular wisdom by fashion and lifestyle magazines.
It is obvious that as the majority of professors, judges, politicians and doctors depend on the Church, their knowledge comes always second when they disagree with their confessors and his celestial truth and they always have to succumb.
Doctors recommend midday sleeping, which suits only priests not working people and never sport, just strolling and fasting!
