CBC is Toxic Filth, Only Fit For Cultist M0-rons
Barquentine replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
He's 80. She's a 55 year old trophy wife. That was f*ckin funny! -
How phucking lame can you get? From the same article: "...a report from The New York Times last year in which an anonymous White House staffer used the same phrase to threaten Democrats. "That phrase ‘maximum warfare everywhere, all the time’ came from the White House in the summer of 2025." And WTF difference does it make if she's pregnant? She's paid to lie for Trump!
-
Not really. Trump is an opportunist populist. He used to donate to Hilary clinton's campaigns. He does know how to push the right buttons to get Conservatives to support him. See any indication of Christianity in the guy? Yet the right wing Christian churches and organizations support him. Gotta hand it to the guy, he's a great conman. Like someone said about Castro: " He's not a communist, he's a Fidelist.

So how is repeating a memorized prayer any different than a mantra? Some prayer is just meditation.
-
Sounds like you post late night on Truth Social. Hmm... Does this site have a 25th amendment? Please quote where you cited any of your 'research'. And please quote where I said prayer has no effect.

Yes, if they try not to follow them. But someone could say "It's my house. I'll build it any way I want!" There have been fire codes on buildings since The Great Fire of London in 1666. Legal Information Society of Nova Scotia https://www.legalinfo.org › alias=257-land-titles These rights include any lawful use such as: building on the land • developing the land ... These rights are subject to restrictions imposed by laws such as municipal land-use bylaws. So deveoping land would include cutting and clearing the biomass, which is often doen by burning, subject to bylaws It did affect me, but I'm reasonable enough to accept it for a greater good. Not gonna cry 'cause I can't go in the woods for a coupe lof weeks during extreme drought.

Democrats’ Third-World reasoning

Jan. 6: Why are you a$$hole traitors such a$$hole traitors? -
Quote where I mocked faith? I mocked power/money hungry organizations. So cry me a phuckin' river!
-
Which apparently you're not capable of.
-
Can you quote where he said that? And what do you mean 'let' them? He doesn't have the power to let them or stop them. And it's more likely that Iran having nukes would lead to the kind of standoff that exist between other nations. I'd be more concerned about North Korea or that Putin's using the nuke threat re Ukraine.
-
So what's next? Is the Provincial daily burn ban unconstitutional? Do away with the Fire Code for buildings? Is there no instance when the greater good is more important than individual rights? Get ready fore more droughts and more fires. Just pray that your house isn't one of those burned. Selfishness prevails. And the court said it wasn't that they did it. It was how they did it. All this ruling means is that next time the Gov't will do a better job of crossing their Ts and dotting their Is.
-
So I've read all your 'proof' and citations. Took zero seconds since you have none. So what have we learned about right-wing Christianity so far? No belief in empathy. No belief in mercy. What do you have in common with Christ? You like a glass of Manischewitz now and then?
-
That's a ridiculous list. Recyling? Doing thingt anybody can do online? Recharging cars?

Defeating the Federal Liberals
Barquentine replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I don't suppose you have some proof for that ridiculous blanket statement. -
Christianity 101: All people deserve mercy. To say otherwise is un-Christian. Here's some of mine. Where's yours? (There are many kinds of meditation. Mantras are only part of some of them. Mantras are also a big part of prayer.) AI: Scientific studies show that meditation, particularly mindfulness, induces structural and functional brain changes (neuroplasticity) that reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while improving attention, memory, and emotional regulation. Research indicates it lowers cortisol, decreases amygdala reactivity, and improves connectivity in brain regions linked to focus and emotional stability. https://www.apa.org/topics/mindfulness/meditation "Researchers reviewed more than 200 studies of mindfulness among healthy people and found mindfulness-based therapy was especially effective for reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness can also help treat people with specific problems including depression, pain, smoking, and addictionopens in new window. Some of the most promising research has looked at people with depression. Several studies have found, for example, that MBCT can significantly reduce relapseopens in new window in people who have had previous episodes of major depression. What’s more, mindfulness-based interventions can improve physical health too. For example, mindfulness may reduce pain, fatigue, and stress in people with chronic pain. Other studies have found preliminary evidence that mindfulness might boost the immune system and help people recover more quickly from cold or flu. Harvard Gazette +7 https://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/pain/documents/meditation-facts.pdf Many more that you can look up your self. There are things prayer and meditation have in common (apart from the fact that a lot of prayer is meditation): The big money being made by by the Church and those making millions off the 'Mindfulness' industry. But the Church wins that contest hands down.
