Yeah, I’m familiar with Discordianism and Bob Dobbs too.

That’s a lot of words to say truth is relative.

There’s no reason Christianity can’t be compatible with any other religion, including pagan. And really no reason Judaism can’t, either, considering yhwh is a sumarían war god.

I recently accompanied a neighbor to a neighborhood event at a local church. It was kind of neat because when a lady kept mentioning “the Lord” my mind kept dubbing in “Baal.”

“What has been seen can not be unseen,” apparently including in the mind’s eye. Also, read as much of the Ethiopian Bible as you can, I can totally see a really chill RPG based on it.

Upvote for “gauche.” Because it is.

Thanks. That’s a liberal (sorry, I couldn’t resist) definition of socialism he used there too, even allowing for the “national” qualifier.

It seems I read once that “socialist” was just in the party name to garner support of those who would be supportive of socialist values. I can’t recall the publication, but wonder if that’s true?

ROFL. Some kids from ACE schools might remind you of some of his clients. I’ll say it again: sociopaths are made.

Wait till you hear about evangelical ACE schools.

You’re welcome? I haven’t done anything but share a limited perspective, and I’m happy you appreciated it.

There’s an anchoring effect at play here as well where people naturally assume that the society they grew up in is the natural default. Any deviation from that is seen as being extreme as a result.

That even happens from household to household, in the same neighborhood.

🤣

We’re heavily propagandized from birth. I realize that happens to greater or lesser degrees, around the world, but overworked, underpaid, tired, struggling for necessities, junk science with fake peer reviews and certain governments strongarming (to put it mildly) other governments. Cognitive dissonance waved away with professional terms. Overwhelm, in short. I only have the “luxury” of scratching the surface of my own enforced, propagandized ignorance because I’m chronically underemployed, my offspring is an adult, and other factors. Critical thinking isn’t rewarded, often punished, and it’s hard, especially when you’ve been deliberately misguided for decades, from birth.

I can’t begin to imagine how exhausting it must be for you. I am grateful for your patience and gentleness with me as I struggle to remedy whatever is within my personal capacity to remedy, with the time and resources available to me, and would urge continued patience, for the few who may still be reached.

Maybe if I have some pennies to spare, I will donate. I’m just not an Amazon fan. I haven’t given them money in a several years.

I’d prefer we not give Amazon money. I’m asking if there’s a better place, for either?

The YT channel. Apologies, I know people aren’t psychic.

Can we promote our products somewhere besides Amazon? One more friendly to regular producers?

You know it!

Rich people who lived simply, “not underdeveloped, over exploited.”

The bananas were a nice touch. It’s sickening how politicians are using terms like “banana republic” divorcing them from actual meaning. I almost said, “and kangaroo court,” but caught myself, before typing “court,” since for a lot of North Americans struggling for any justice get that, for instance the college protesters.

Welcome back!

10/10. Laughing tears all the way into my shirt!
