And what does the scripture say about bearing false witness?

Lokmar better hope there isn't a God, or he's going to hell for calling me a gaytheist without a fair trial first.

Quiet, gaytheist. We was talkin ABOUT you, not TO you.

Bearing false witness is a grievous sin.

Did someone remove a post I wrote?

I wrote a good post last night and I thought it was sent...    I can't be bothered rewriting it.

Happens to me all the time. But I just shrug and go and post something else.

If you believe in God, bearing false witness is something you'd do well to avoid.

Full disclosure, I'm still on the fence on the God question, making me an agnostic, not an atheist. The whole "thou shalt not have any gods before me" is not something I'm losing sleep over, because of my agnosticism. And I don't feel attracted to anything to be honest, not since the passing of my wife, so attempting to cast me off as gay is patently false. Therefore Lokmar is in breach of the relevant commandment. Not that I imagine it overly bothers him, since I suspect his whole God schtick is just an act.

But we are talking cross purposes here. The topic was colonialism and whether there were examples of where it had failed. Clearly it has in the case of the US, whether you want to believe troons and homos supplanted it or not.

At least that's how I see it. I'd suggest the US could do a lot worse than invite British colonial involvement again, only the brits have that tosspot Sadiq Khan ruining things in the Isles in the name of Indian colonialism. Fucken embarrassing.

I wrote you a good post last night and went to bed thinking I sent it off.

Maybe it was a sign not to send it... one day I might get up the gumption to rewrite it.

I don't blame anyone being an agnostic.

English King George the 3rd abolished slavey in all the colonies between 1806 - 1810 though this note I swiped off a site says 1807..

Three years later, on 25 March 1807, King George III signed into law the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, banning trading in enslaved people in the British Empire. Today, 23 August is known as the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

How did the slave trade end in Britain?


 But I suggest that instead of African Slaves, they just stated to use desperately poor UK people and called them convicts.

FIRST the UK sent the convicts to the USA then when America refuse anymore, they sent them to Australia for free labour. UK slaves/convicts went to Newfoundland Canada ( not many) and Sth America.


The English were the first to ban black slaves That is a fact.

The first elected Assembly of the First Republic (1792–1804), on 4 February 1794, under the leadership of Maximilien Robespierre, abolished slavery in law in France and its colonies.

Japan outlawed slavery before any European country did.
