More like about 10,000 years ago when humans started farming and agriculture to grow crops at scale to make bread … then at about the same time they domesticated cows in order to harvest milk and figure out how to make and store butter.

- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 1 day ago:
Practice your religion by yourself and speak and connect to your beliefs on your own. No one needs a public and constant display or acknowledgement of what you believe. And we don’t need to conform the entire world and everyone around to satisfy your beliefs and your religion. And a religion doesn’t need a billion dollar industry and infrastructure in order for it to exist.
If what you believe is moral, respectable, useful and beneficial to society, then there should never be a need to display your religion, your beliefs or to have the need to want to convert others by force or coercion. If what you believe is morally good for everyone, people will gravitate towards your religion … forcing it on others and onto society is a sure sign that what you believe has more to do with wanting control over others rather than in creating a belief system that would benefit people.

At this point in history, the image of Jesus Christ is a caricature of what he is supposed to represent. He is just an image and idea that is worshipped and that is all. No one cares about his teachings or his ideas, they just care about his image, praising him and getting their free ticket to heaven.
In essence, the image of Jesus Christ has become their golden calf that people mindlessly pray to and worship without thinking or wondering about what he actually represents.

I’m Indigenous Canadian and my parents were victims of the Residential School system in Canada in the 50s, 60s … residential ‘schools’ which were literal torture centers for Indigenous children run by Christian organizations.
From my point of view … Christian religion is bad as a whole.

And just like everything in the Bible, they take a grain of truth and turn it into a multimillion dollar pyramid scheme … or they use it as a weapon to go after people and groups they don’t like.
Personally I’m non religious, I think they’re all nuts. The origins of these religions might have started out with some noble goals that might have been for the good of humanity … but now it’s just a system of power, money and control to manipulate a gullible audience.

It’s a quote often attributed to Carl Sagan but I think it was around, or a quote like it has been around far longer.
I love the quote too and often remind people about it especially when they want to share information or knowledge that is extreme or not well known.
We do have to question the world and everything and everyone in it … but not to the point where we abandon reality.

Not trusting anyone based on feelings or emotions rather than through knowledge, experience and unbiased information is also a very dangerous thing.
It can lead people down a path towards cults, religions, and authoritarian leaders and movements that have all the “answers” for you.
There is no greater power for an individual to have than a broad range of knowledge and information from reliable vetted, openly available, openly shared and universally accepted sources. If your guru had secret knowledge that no one knows about, chances are that information is either no good or it is unacceptable for a reason.
And also remember “keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out”

From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.
Will Durant
… by our nature we are dumb, frightened, superstitious animals but given enough time, effort, energy and dedication we can overcome our natural instincts of fear and ignorance.
Unfortunately, it is so easy for us to fall back into our old animalistic ways.
- Comment on It's all relative 3 days ago:
I agree but I’ve been surrounded by way too many examples in my life where these arguments and counter points don’t exactly work all the time. If you are a level headed person with a good background, education, self control and generally a good upbringing … then yes, someone on as much painkillers, stimulants and anti-psychotics as you say would be capable of managing all those medications in a responsible way.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the world is filled with mentally unstable or people whose lives are on the edge of being unstable. There are a lot of dysfunctional and unbalanced people out there.
So when you give these arguments about drugs, they make sense to a very small segment of well balanced and moderately wealthy members of society … but when you apply this logic to the majority of society, these arguments just don’t make any sense.
I’ve known several people that started out with pain killers and opioid medications for real medical issues … only to become helplessly addicted and it was their medications and addictions (that originated from taking those medications) that killed them rather than their initial condition.
- Comment on It's all relative 4 days ago:
Addiction is usually measured not by how much you can or can’t take … but how, when and if you can stop.
- Comment on It's all relative 4 days ago:
The results are quite different from the perspective of body weight and mental health.
You either become overweight with good mental health
Or
You maintain low or under weight gain and have a severe drug addiction that destroys your mental health.

- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 1 week ago:
Like my fight or flight meter skyrockets and I feel like I’m in danger.
You should feel afraid, it’s a normal reaction.
People yelling and getting into loud arguments in public with others around is a sure sign that they are socially unaware or ignorant and find it completely normal to raise their voice in argument with strangers and in public. It means their social norms involve not caring about making others uncomfortable and in not minding letting others see how dysfunctional their lives are.
I’m always afraid of people like this because if they don’t mind yelling or having loud arguments with those close to them while others are around … it often means that you can land in the line of fire at one point.

Isn’t that getting food lodged at your tonsils. We like to think that tonsils are a mile away at the back of the throat away from the mouth but it’s all very close to each other.

Roast chicken for me, especially if it’s really stringy and dry.
Which is why I always carry floss with me.
