@five2one Hairy beast also gets in the kitchen and cooks.

I’m coming across this a week and 4,000 miles after the fact! I’ve covered so much ground since I posted this. I suppose I could go back over it. But I did once already, and offered it up here. It’s only 60 minutes. (less than a Deadpool movie!). Give it a view.

Equality needs to remain as equality of opportunity — because…[Read more]

There exists levels of being where we don’t know what we aspire to, admire, seek to represent . . . or why.

I think we need to ask just why we deem some deeds to be “honorable”, and others not?

While we can “reward” (honor) processese we feel are honorable with our money, very few people live at this level of interpretation.…[Read more]

As I’ve noted before, and with Scriptural backing, prophecy seems to only be evident in hindsight.
Even to those who have devoted their life to trying to see it in foresight.

So the Kingdom of God exists in this moment, as Free Will creates “that which is good” out of the chaos. Trying to jump ahead in the game is for those…[Read more]

@five2one no… it’s just that i demand complete answers, and that way i get to understand the answers.

@five2one that’s another thing. A god who can’t even spell out his reasoning for things other than to say “you can’t understand” should neither be trusted nor obeyed

@five2one yet… people pray. In this ‘prayer’ is the drug. Can prayer(s) answered to the affirmative rise above the placebo effect? No.

@five2one You truly are delusional.

@five2one better look out boys. I might be coming to get you…

I am modes. I am pi. I am perfect.

@five2one most are poisonous.

@five2one not quite. I have been talking to my dad. He says that he’s had multiple lives in this one

@five2one uhm… a snake… look at their anatomy for a second here. Where is its vocal cords and mouth structure that would allow it to talk like a person…? Or a brain large enough to allow them to think complex thoughts?

@five2one
What Campbell dubs the monomyth, is what Carl Jung calls archetypes: and ponders whether our virtues create these narratives, or these narratives are somehow in us at a genetic level and create/bring forth our virtues?

I also question Campbell’s notion of “follow your bliss”. That seems to me to be an even worse version of…[Read more]

@five2one
What grounds there to support the belief that the Eternal will map onto the temporal rather than vice versa?

@five2one even they couldn’t exist because they couldn’t know which now they’re dealing with. Also, there’s another problem with the concept: the planet is moving in space… if you rewind time without making sure where the earth is, you’d end up in empty space quite dead

@five2one
It’s a tool. A very powerful one to be sure.

But let’s not forget other cultures have generated their own “scriptures” that show tantalizing evidence they were pursuing “God” in their own ways.
The ancient Egyptian culture for example. If you’re game do a youtube search on Jordan Peterson’s lecture on the ancient Egyptian and…[Read more]

@five2one
I don’t think any of that defeats the supposition that free-market capitalism tends to be the structure that emerges when a society (arguably following the tenets of Christ) grants people the right to exercise freedom and agency.

And for comparison, most other societal structures — particularly fascism, marxism, communism — only…[Read more]

@five2one have you read neverwhere? Your writing reminds me a little of that.

@five2one
I see no precedence for the notion that “Jesus torments them”.

It’s more like the absence of His Spirit torments them.

And this fits far more harmoniously into multiple points of not just the Judeo-Christian Old and New Testament, but elements of other spiritual belief systems as well.

@five2one you put your computer or phone in sleep mode. If you had an ai, if it could sleep, wouldn’t it dream?
