But you do? Some posts here definitely suggest that religion is more 'moral' But the word 'moral' is as hard to define as the word 'spiritual' imo. A willow-the-wisp. The laws of Moses all together were a brilliant blue print for a successful healthy secure people (back then) and I don't see...

And non theists help a lot of people, so where are we? Claims by any groups that they are especially righteous or 'moral' should be scrutinised with care, I think.

Can you give any examples of where religion has done just that? As a balance?

Religion has often over-run other cultures, pillaged and looted them and one way of easing conscience was to class the victims as 'not of God', or even 'of the Devil' . It was alright to do bad things to those who were not of God, or the right God. After the badnesses religion could defend...

That answer suggests that I had told that it did no good in the world. I simply asked for your examples, which you appear to have trawled from a Catholic web site. Now, as a balance, can you think of instances where theism has not done so well, or done very badly?

Ugh!...... Seeing that pic, I wanna clutch a handwarmer! What a lovely amount of space you have. Properties with grounds as large as that in the UK belong to millionaires, mostly. We put up a new fence and posts on the Left flank of our Garden this spring; 10 6' panels......... I'm glad we...

Can you give examples? That would be helpful.

Ah, then you're luckier than me. If I place my frozen white fingers on my wife's skin she shrieks and slaps me. :D Oh Boy! I reckon we are so going to pay for this very late summer! *shivers*

You have to be joking........ you think there is a religious morality? Please show me any example of your 'religious morality', and by that I mean tangible and real rather than claimed, spoken or written. World Religious Governments are mostly utterly shocking in my opinion. Who wants...

It's much warmer than usual here as well. So, watch out! We haven't got a clue about what's coming round the corner, no regularity any more, or so it seems. Heat waves with firestorms, storms and hurricanes, freezes.....like an inverted lottery.

In the past I would use a small 1kw fan heater first thing in the morning to warm up my hands, but two years ago my wife bought me an electric hand warmer. They are so brilliant that I have a few of these now, and don't need fan heaters any more. And on frozen days I can stuff small hand...

I must look up OO finescale, that's new to me. When I was a kid I lived beside the massive multi-track shunting docks at Radlett, Herts. The sound of shunting locos and the clatter of trucks banging against each other seemed (to me) to go on all night long. The main line from up North in to London

West Coast of Scotland in January makes me feel cold, just thinking about it!

Air-con systems can drain a 40amp 60v battery in a very short time, and such extreme drainage isn't good for them. My neighbour has a full solar system, about 20 3'x6' roof panels with two 60volt 40am batteries and a massive regulator system, and the installation team advised her that in a...

Ah.... tall ceilings do make cold rooms. I purchased two sets of long-johns this autumn; I tried one on and presented myself to the Missus who nearly fell over laughing. Wives can be.....so unkind! :D Excellent! Isn't it amazing, what can be achieved with a little imagination.

Yes! OO guage?

OK....... I get the idea now. I am guessing that your hall is up to 5' wide, possibly? In which case that fairly long cellar would make a brilliant DIY area with long work/craft bench/table on one side, shelves above with storage below, and a 3 foot walkway all the way along. If I have...

That sounds like a very interestin home you have. Three storey home with a half-cellar....... the things I would want to do with a half-cellar.... :) Oh....there was one other 'thing' we've done to reduce costs and increase warmth. Although all our windows and doors are fitted with sealed...

It may be very useful one day, your little generator, but you know that. :) I've wondered about using EV batteries for domestic use in power cuts...... My two EV batteries are 60volts @ 20AH @ 1200 KwHrs. I must look in to 60v - 240volt pure-sinewave inverters.

Our little home is a third of the area of yours but being in the UK I expect that our heating costs are significantly higher per SF than yours. On the other hand smaller rooms heat more quickly and cheaply. Ah, yes, electric furnace igniters! Everybody around here who uses gas does rely upon...
