(We're almost neighbors, Krzyz.....) I live at the bottom of a large canyon--sort of a highway out of the San Gabriel mountains and wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard someone complain about ''all these damned coyotes." It's like complaining about the traffic after you've moved into the exit on a freeway.

If Moms for Liberty co-founder had sex with a woman, why is she targeting Florida’s gays?

@St-Sinner I spent almost a month in India and was interested in Lord G, seeing all the devotions made to him throughout the country. My understanding is that he's a very practical fellow...he'll help you with a voyage or trip....if you've lost something, a prayer to him might lead you to find it....he's always depicted with his friend...a RAT. He once had a normal head but (long myth here) it was cut off and an elephant head happened to be available and.....well..... This has nothing to do with ''romanticizing'' Hindu cultures. It has to do with observations outside religion.

Texts written by men of primitive times, women had no rights.

How did they ever convince women to buy into this garbage?

pamagain replies on Dec 1, 2023:

@St-Sinner And I help at Planned Parenthood, when women are having abortions. I've heard stories you wouldn't believe about abuse, negative conditioning, etc. I feel the same way you do...there's very little I can do and I'm always so very saddened.

My problem with this kind of modern humanism is that its embellished picture of human beings makes its adherents unfit to live in a dog-eats-dog world. As Immanuel Kant knew: Humans may not be "broke", but they are made of crooked timber from which nothing straight can be made.

pamagain replies on Nov 25, 2023:

All primates share several characteristics....among them is TRIBALISM/SOCIAL NATURE. That's a good thing, because it teaches us valuable skills, culture, support and helps us survive. The downside is suspicion of ''others.'' If religion could seriously address this part of human nature as a simple fact of who we are...it might become useful. Unfortunately, it does not. Instead of it helping us to expand our ''tribes,'' it ignores them as it falls into the hands of those who use it to manipulate and enrich themselves.
