Russia and treason gave Trump the presidency. Comey was a fuck but he didn’t commit Treason.

I feel like it’s important to point out that reiki is a fraudulent scam. It’s one of the more egregious examples of pseudoscience.

I object a lot more to the reiki, which is a literal scam in which practitioners perform magic on you. Reiki is so absurd I don’t know if it even qualifies as pseudoscience. It’s literally faith healing, but lower effort and without the Jesus part. Finding it in the same paragraph as meditation, a practice with…

Some couples do talk about it. I think that’s why some relationships last.

This breaks my heart. Life is arbitrary and cruel, and while Buddhists take solace in accepting that, I’m not sure I do. Any advice given to you is meaningless, because it all comes down to luck in the end. I’m glad you found value for yourself in the process.

If you upload you’ll have infinity chocolate with no consequences.

They’ll be dead by the time they would have seen consequences and by then it’ll be too late.

Chocolate will go extinct because of Republicans. Republicans already have too few voters to be dominant, and yet...

Gravity Falls is a much better show.

Skip this and watch Adventure Time. There’s no comparison.

I couldn’t stand it and I gave up. I may give it another shot but it reminded me of those throwaway formulaic Saturday morning cartoons I don’t miss, one dimensional and repetitive, dressed up as another adventure time or Stephen universe (which have real depth right from the beginning). I’ve watched the shows you…

Christianity is inherently authoritarian and conservative. Dissent is discouraged and quashed. Power is concentrated with no nod to rationality or fairness. According to the Bible and the various churches it is absolutely NOT your responsibility to question; it is your responsibility only to obey. The system can only…

I’m not sure I’d say either has a fundamental message, and some of the worst elements of the OT persist into the NT.

No one gives a shit about your dumb fuckboy opinions

The “Old Testament bad, Jesus good” idea is a fallacy. If you dig into the gospels (and the rest of the New Testament) you can find plenty of sick, evil nonsense. Jesus said some fine things, but you don’t need Jesus to believe in those things. They were evident to countless sages before and after him.

Except it’s not cherry picked. The anti science anti logic homophobic racist misogynist message is pervasive through those texts. Frankly, it’s one of the only consistencies in the Bible.

“Being religious does not make you delusional nor a crazy zealot. It doesn’t mean you don’t believe in science, or that you can’t be feminist, or pro gay rights.”

This is the best take here

Maybe in 20 or 30 years, if we’re still alive.
