NASA to remove offensive names from planets and other heavenly bodies

Political correctness has now expanded to space, where NASA says planets, galaxies and other heavenly bodies will no longer be referred to by “offensive” nicknames. In a press release T…

Are they going to rename Uranus?

of course they're going to! DUH. the people of the world are losing their souls because corporations have left the liberals behind, and they're threatening to burn the place down if the political correctness doesn't increase massively so they can be loved and not have all the money at the same time. their hate for successful people is reaching unprecedented heights at this point. but then again, successful people only seek money because of their lack of faith in God, just like everyone else. but, no one can be blamed for any of it.

According to actual hard research by Herbert Maslow from the 1930s, people seek money for sustainment, long-term survival, family survival, and satisfaction or comfort. And it is not only the successful people who seek money. Lack of faith has nothing to do with this trend.

there is a religious reason for this, and an economic one, Richard. what you are missing is the fact that Maslow, in 1930, is only analyzing a system that has gone through countless transformations over thousands of years. yes, you are correct. but I'm more correct, in that the system in which people need financial stability to survive was set up, in a previous incarnation, in another form, thousands of years ago, because man lacked faith in God. understand?

Oh, is that the system in which Jesus said we would always have the poor?

Matt - 19:21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Except for the small matter that then I would also be poor and struggling. Thanks, but no thanks. This system smacks of extreme socialism or communism, both of which have been proved to be failures in the real world.

Jesus knew that it would be impossible to eliminate poverty. Matt - 26:11 “The poor you will always have with you” (partial quote, which is in turn a quote from Deut 15:11 "There will always be poor people in the land.") This is a statement of awareness that people succeed according to their nature. We need not condemn them because of that nature, but some people are doomed to mediocrity or failure. We can offer help, true, and in fact my wife and I donate regularly, to the limit that our fixed retirement income allows. But there WILL be limits to what we can do, and we must accept those limits as a firm dose of reality.

Don't forget, Adam, that despite my current beliefs, I did study the Bible for a long time before my eyes were opened.

I'm not condenming anyone for success richard. I make plenty of money myself, but I don't need it. Keep what you want, as many do. The truth of God has NOTHING to do with economical ANYTHING. socialism is irrelevant, capitalism is irrelevant. the purpose of the death of Christ was to re-align people with God because they set systems of control thousands of years ago, due to their lack of faith. And the current systems in place are just results of transformations of those systems over thousands of years and humans became more knowledgeable. Think of a "human" as an "entity" created by God, recognized to be imperfect, and thus evolves naturally and becomes smarter because it wants to "know" things. You, as a retired tech person, should understand this simple concept. it's literally that easy.

Non dimenticare, Adamo, che nonostante le mie attuali convinzioni, ho studiato la Bibbia per molto tempo prima che mi si aprissero gli occhi.

Non sto condannando nessuno per il successo, Richard. Faccio un sacco di soldi da solo, ma non ne ho bisogno. Conserva quello che vuoi, come fanno molti. La verità di Dio non ha NIENTE a che fare con NULLA economica. il socialismo è irrilevante, il capitalismo è irrilevante. lo scopo della morte di Cristo era di riallineare le persone con Dio perché hanno stabilito sistemi di controllo migliaia di anni fa, a causa della loro mancanza di fede. E gli attuali sistemi in atto sono solo il risultato delle trasformazioni di quei sistemi nel corso di migliaia di anni e gli esseri umani sono diventati più consapevoli. Pensa a un "umano" come a una "entità" creata da Dio, riconosciuta come imperfetta, e quindi evolve naturalmente e diventa più intelligente perché vuole "sapere" le cose. Tu, come persona tecnologica in pensione, dovresti capire questo semplice concetto. è letteralmente così facile.

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt as to why you chose to provide an Italian translation of your previous post.

I'll be truthful to you. I sent the post to Padre Pio's friary in Italy, via email. He's my favorite catholic saint, and the one I chose as my patron saint during my confirmation mass.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Ah. I'm only moderately surprised. Patron saint of defense workers, stress relief, and the inspiration for the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy."

I guess the church will venerate anything these days. After all, they even have a patron saint of prostitutes.

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

they even have a patron saint of prostitutes.

Really?

Let me guess, Julia Roberts...

not everyone in the church is evil, my good friend. you're talking to one. but what I will say is that the catholic church, more than likely in the future, will destroy itself, just like corporations will destroy themselves as well. both orgs suffer from the same shit.

Uncle G, the patron saint of prostitutes is ... St. Nicholas.

Yep, both believe in things that don't exist.

are you possibly uninformed!? Jesus....

St. Nicholas, Patron Saint of Prostitutes and Much Else « Catholic Insight

The common association with St. Nicholas of Myra, when rising above the traditional chubby gent decked out in vibrant scarlet array, is primarily one of charity. Around Yuletide and the Advent season leading up to it, we ponder the greatest gift which has ever been given, and its recipients are...

Adam... you doubted me? I have told you that here, I do my best to always be correct unless the context is CLEAR and UNEQUIVOCAL that a joke is involved. I can also be incorrect through human error - but I try to research my categorical statements.

Should that be St. Knicker-less?

speaking of doubting....have you doubted ME? you might consider the reading of the good book again.

Rather that prove that I am a sadistic, sodomistic necrophile, I will simply choose to not beat the dead horse. (With apologies to Woody Allen and What's Up Tiger Lily?)

 

[neuroman9999]

never saw that one. Lily? was that the name of the dead horse?

Too long to explain but it is on IMDB.
