When I don’t clean out the pantry that often, I sometimes end up with bushy white bread.

It equals 5. The biggest, greatest, most terrific 5 you’ve ever seen. When I’m done adding 2 and 2 you’re gonna have so many fives you’re gonna be sick of them.

No, there are five lights.

I’ve found it’s helpful to start small, and always in a non-confrontational manner. There’s actually sound neuroscience behind this- if people feel attacked, they go into fight or flight mode and just shut down. So go small and go calm. When I’m done doing that, I like to say, “Well, it’s something to think about,”…

My opinion as someone studying (christian) theology: No.

What can be done to combat this kind of thinking? I have immediate family members that just flatly refuse to grapple with facts-- when they’re confronted with them, they just say, “I don’t believe that”.
