What's with the glass of blue kool-aid when you open the article?

This AI stuff is amazing. I gave AI a task to write a poem about the past, the future and the present and make it about 30 lines. As soon as you press enter...it starts popping out with the words. I had it write several and here's my favorite it created. Then I chatted with it how it comes out to write this. What is it's basis. Amazing what software has been taught to do by some creative geniuses.

The Present's Plea

The past calls out, a haunting song,
Its echoes tell me I was wrong.
Each word, a thorn, each thought, a chain,
Binding me tight in its refrain.

The future looms, a shapeless mist,
A fragile hope, a clenched-tight fist.
It whispers fears, it breeds despair,
A silent weight I cannot bear.

Yet here I stand, between the two,
A fleeting now, so bright, so true.
But I, unseeing, turn my face,
And let the present slip to waste.

The sky is wide, the air is sweet,
The earth is steady beneath my feet.
Each moment blooms, a fragile flower,
Yet I ignore its fleeting power.

What good is sorrow for what's been lost?
What worth is fear for future cost?
When life exists in this brief spark,
Why dwell in shadows deep and stark?

The present speaks: "I am your friend,
I'll hold you here until the end.
Let go the chains of yesterday,
Release tomorrow, come and stay."

If I could heed this gentle voice,
And in its wisdom make my choice,
Perhaps I'd find the peace I seek,
The strength to stand, the grace to speak.

For time will pass, as time must do,
But in this moment, I am true.
A soul unbound, a heart at rest,
To live the now is to live my best.

Laura,

Is it correct?

Would you be less concerned or upset with hearing Muslim call to prayer all day than you would hearing Christian singing or whatever blasted over the speakers for all to hear?

Can you just answer the question?

Just yes or no.

Would you be more inclined to accept hearing Muslim's worshipping than Christians in your daily life?

Clown,

People often use the word "cult" loosely. I don't generally use the term often myself. Who am I to discern the difference?

I acknowledge that there are groups that call themselves Christian but exhibit the characteristics of true cults.

That said, even within respected Christian churches, some Christians (mostly ultra-conservative) label Mormons or Catholics as members of cults.

A group that uses the Christian label and sexually abuses anyone isn't even a cult.

It is blasphemy.

Lamp,

"But for this thread, I am asking why does the chaste Christian movement seem to attract, and try to hide, such behavior?"

Only the ones in the news and not the millions and millions of Christians who don't.

Lamp,

You're saying there isn't sexual abuse elsewhere?

People just say any old s*** thinking they're being witty.

Dan,

I have a theory.

Atheists and liberals (most of who have negative feelings about Christianity) probably wouldn't mind hearing Muslim noises that are considered requirements as part of that religion.

But likely would have a fit about Christian related worshipping that might make noises everyone has to hear.

Dan,

"You were complaining about the sound of the Muslim call to prayer, especially FIVE TIMES a day."

I wouldn't complain about hearing it five times a day.

I wouldn't want to hear it all. You must be confusing me with someone else.

Corky,

You said jump to 14 so I did.

It was 30 min long.

Corky,

Trump didn't ask my opinion on his selections.

That last post was for Corky.

I drink Chai tea. Some in my kitchen right now.

So what?

Dan,

I don't believe I've said anything about anyone's bells on any posts.

It's for each community to decide.

Donner,

"Maybe stop assuming all Muslims are terrorists and we won't assume that all Christian's are xenophobic white nationalist child abusers."

You're stereotyping me while lecturing me about stereotypes.

Sy,

"Muslims don't get to hide behind the Christian religion "good vibes" garbage in America."

Personally, I've never associated Islam with 'good vibes' anyway so I'm not sure what point you're making.

Sy,

"Social Services will often just ignore outright child abuse claiming someone is a good Christian and wouldn't do that."

That seems like a pretty generalized statement. Social services are legally required to investigate all reports of child abuse, no matter someone's religion.

While individual biases might happen, I don't think it's fair to say they routinely ignore abuse just because someone is a 'good Christian.'

Do you have any specific examples?

If Kamala had won by the same numbers, liberals wouldn't just be saying mandate.

They'd be calling it a landslide.

Obviously the "Christian" part is just a cover.

A thought provoking theory I saw is the drones are FBI or NSA "sniffing" for radiation or chemicals.

The opinion is the Feds won't tell us to avoid a panic because perhaps they have credible evidence of the possible existance of a "dirty bomb" or chemicals.

It is getting to be strange that local law enforcement and even state senators are in the dark.

Rein,

No...Trump would not invite Vlad.

Brillant!

A real statesman.

Danni,

I'm not suggesting these drones and UAPs being witnessed for decades are connected but in both cases I am 100% sure a LOT of information is withheld from the public.

I've read opinions such as a fear of creating panic and not wanting to appear threatening to whatever it is, are 2 possible reasons our government has handled this matter in secrecy.

Plus the idea we are gaining technical advancements from reverse engineering perhaps they don't want to disclose.

These drones hopefully have a much simpler explanation such as a foreign adversary spying on the US and we're too caught up in red rape and politics to move on it quickly.

Zed,

Drones from China or Iran or whereever might be the least of the our worries.....

At least we can deal with that.

Zed,

"Wait until your people get back into Reptoids and witchcraft."

You actually are hitting on something that some people are a little afraid of regarding UAPs and reported sightings.

One particular person you might want to read more about is Robert Bigelow, the founder of Bigelow Aerospace, who had contracts with NASA.

It is being reported by respected sources that he was given off-world materials from crashed crafts for analysis.

He has an interest in paranormal activity in addition to his other interests.

He once owned Skinwalker Ranch, which is a bizarre topic in addition to UAPs.

We can only hope this phenomenon is as benign as you seem to think.

Zed,

"They are most likely psychological"

You think you might want to be laying off the shrooms or whatever mind altering chemicals you use.

I think they might be altering your thinking processes.
