So typical.

HippieChick58 comments on May 30, 2021:

Please find some sympathy for your friend. Having a child with "special" needs is an overwhelming challenge whether or not you're a believer. When your child is sick you will grasp at any straws that show promise, and if you're part of the brainwashed crowd then of course god is in control. Yes, I agree, I don't understand how they can accept that god is "challenging" them and their child. The same way I don't understand why their god allows any child to be mistreated. But when they are in the trenches fighting that battle for and with their child is not the time for any challenge to their religious beliefs. Yes, now that I am out in the fresh air of sanity I know that especially the xian belief system is a wacked out delusion to be sure. But now is not the time for your friend to be challenged for her beliefs. She needs every comfort she can find. Trust me, I'm a mom and grammie, there is nothing more daunting than your child's illness. My granddaughter was born the day after xmas, 5 weeks early, and spent several days in the NICU. It was not a good time and she was born out of town so it she was not in a local hospital. (She was healthy, just needed to get over the shock of the early birth, just needed some additional monitoring.) When you have a sick child you need all the support you can get, it's freaking scary. Yes, it is sad, and even nearly criminal how people trust in "god" who arranged all this. All you can do now is support the friend, and if you can't then she needs your silence.

Pretty respectable so far.

These 4 Myths About Slavery Are Still Told Daily | PushBlack Now

HippieChick58 comments on May 24, 2021:

What amazes me is that white landowners treated the animal livestock well. So the enslaved people were treated much worse than the four legged critters. It seems to me that the degradation of the enslaved people was very personal. Like the slave masters saw their humanity and tried to stomp it right out of them, like it was an affront to them. It was and is very irrational.

The 12 Stages of a Book Hangover

HippieChick58 comments on May 22, 2021:

I don't think I've ever had a book hangover, at least not as has been described. I do know the acute sense of loss when a really good book ends. And yes, I stay up way past my bedtime way too often to read a good book. And sometimes I do that with a book that is just OK. One of the last books I did a marathon read on was Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles. Not my usual reading material, it was recommended by one of my kids. I read the first two right through. And then I found out the third and final has not been written yet!! I was horrified, and horribly angry. It has been 10 years since book two came out. Recently he had some fun with the waiting fans https://winteriscoming.net/2021/05/12/kingkiller-author-patrick-rothfuss-trolls-fans-the-doors-of-stone-twitter/
