  1. I don't believe innocence I'd ever mentioned. It's either guilty or not guilty. It would be difficult to determine innocence since motivation is not easily ascertained
  2. The verdict proves the evidence, or not. Without context meaning is elusive. When a topic is discussed I try to think about it in more than one context, I also like etymology and arguing semantics.
  3. In a case you provide evidence and then the prosecutor tries to use the evidence as a proof of a crime. Whereas the defense tries to disprove it. Evidence is the body of material presented, proof is the verdict.
  4. I prefer games that have a random component or where luck comes into play as well as skill. So the few times I have been to a Casino I prefer Roulette. Since the croupier skills don't tilt the game in the house's favor.
  5. I was thinking along those same lines this morning. The Vedas touch upon ever area of life. What is fascinating is that certain yoga asanas (poses) have beneficial effects on the body or mind. In addition asanas at held for different lengths of time. So yoga was divinely inspired or downloaded from the aether.
  6. Sorry never doubted it. Just had a little pronoun problem.
  7. I'm mistook Pioneer's self hatred as hatred towards Blacks. Thanks for clearing that up for me @ProfD
  8. There is a pyramid in Mexico that makes a bird sound when you clap in front of it and a snake sound when you clap on the other side.
  9. This is so tight and on the money. Agreed. It made me question whether he was Black.
  10. I'll let you know in February.
  11. What's the difference between smarter and wiser?
  12. Akashic is an Indian term which also corresponds with 0. Some Sanskrit words are associated with numbers.
  13. The Founders were the original pimps.
  14. Slavery is more like the heart of capitalism
  15. If a person doesn't consider something as being useless that doesn't diminish it's value. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consider Etymology Middle English, from Anglo-French considerer, from Latin considerare to observe, think about, from com- + sider-, sidus heavenly body
  16. I happen to read signs symbols and omens so I don't share your opinion on this matter. It's also important to understand that both words and symbols mean what we say they mean. And this can vary across both cultures and time On addition it vary on time within a culture. However it is problematic to judge or even ascertain the values across cultures and time. And it is probably extremely difficult across both simultaneously.
  17. Luke 21:25 Bible Rank: 805 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea."
  18. Here are some biblical references concerning Astrology. Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Luke 21:25 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Signs-In-The-Sky Luke 21:11 Verse Concepts and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Signs-In-The-Sky Revelation 12:1 Verse Concepts A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Signs-In-The-Sky Revelation 15:1 Verse Concepts Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels who had seven plagues, which are the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished. Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Signs-In-The-Sky Psalm 74:9 Verse Concepts We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet, Nor is there any among us who knows how long. Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Signs-Of-The-End-Times Luke 21:25 Bible Rank: 805 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea." A person who knows everything can be told nothing.
  19. The word Wizard and Wise are related. So the Three Wise Men were Three Wizards. Magi is the plural for Magus which mean Magician. The Only people who knew who Jesus was were Three Magicians\Astrologers. https://www.etymonline.com/word/wizard wizard (n.) early 15c., "philosopher, sage," from Middle English wys "wise" (see wise (adj.)) + -ard. Compare Lithuanian žynystė "magic," žynys "sorcerer," žynė "witch," all from žinoti "to know." The ground sense is perhaps "to know the future." The meaning "one with magical power, one proficient in the occult sciences" did not emerge distinctly until c. 1550, the distinction between philosophy and magic being blurred in the Middle Ages. magi (n.) c. 1200, "skilled magicians, astrologers," from Latin magi, plural of magus "magician, learned magician," from Greek magos, a word used for the Persian learned and priestly class as portrayed in the Bible (said by ancient historians to have been originally the name of a Median tribe), from Old Persian magush "magician" (see magic). Also, in Christian history, the "wise men" who, according to Matthew, came from the east to Jerusalem to do homage to the newborn Christ (late 14c.). Related: Magian. In the Garden there were two tree one was Life the other was Knowledge. Astrology may be the Tree of Knowledge. Since the Kabbalah is called the Tree of Knowledge. This is not true in quantum physics. The observation of an event changed the outcome. So in this area there is no objective reality. https://plus.maths.org/content/physics-minute-double-slit-experiment-0 One of the most famous experiments in physics is the double slit experiment. It demonstrates, with unparalleled strangeness, that little particles of matter have something of a wave about them, and suggests that the very act of observing a particle has a dramatic effect on its behaviour.
  20. @Chevdove feel free to tag me. I generally just check notifications.
  21. if you know the quality of time is possible to choose the right moment to do anything successfully. This is known as elective astrology, a branch of the ancient astrological tradition that seeks to anticipate the facts and take advantage of that knowledge to obtain favorable outcomes. https://internationsocietyofclassicalastrologers.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/astrology-predestination-and-free-will/
  22. Or you run into time.
  23. What parent has stopped their kid from smoking drinking or sexual activity. Untied States values sociopathic behaviour in CEOs. If you make money how you do it is justified or rationalised . The successful gangster is lived by the community if they give away free turkeys on Thanksgiving or pay for fireworks on July 4th
