Started work at 4 am today. 13 non-stop hours later, half of my breakfast is still sitting next to me, and I'm not done working.
Tomorrow will be exactly the same.
This whole week has been amazing. Deliriously tired, but exhilarated at the same time. Big important stuff!

@RonFilipkowski Good to know that the part of "freedom" is good with telling you what you can and cannot wear. These are the same people who 10 years ago were calling anything they didn't like "Sharia Law".

People throw around the phrase "mind-blowing" when describing things that AI is able to do nowadays, but it really fits here!

@keyztow @pinkheretic @NorthCentralPr2 unsubstantiated myths. The only reason to believe in him was that I was surrounded by a culture that reinforced belief and pointed to any turn of fortune or unexplained phenomenon as "proof". 5/5

[Datan0de @Datan0de]

@keyztow @pinkheretic @NorthCentralPr2 And I would say that I definitely *did* discover something new (to me) about God! I discovered that the only significant difference between the Christian god and Zeus, Shiva, Ra, and Ao is that I was raised to believe in the Christian god and to see the others as archaic, 4/5

@RobinBo01314180 @SimpleS18790446 One of those explanations fits the available data perfectly, and passes Occam's Razor. The other requires an omnipotent entity to devote time to teleporting toys as a means of vague, ambiguous communication, while ignoring the pleas of countless people suffering needlessly.

Ditto!

@keyztow @pinkheretic @NorthCentralPr2 ..."The Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan, which is less about religion and more about learning how to differentiate beliefs supported by evidence from myths and cultural ideas passed down.
I couldn't be intellectually honest and continue to call myself a believer.

[Datan0de @Datan0de]

@keyztow @pinkheretic @NorthCentralPr2 ...belief in the Greek gods, Thor, or cargo cults. It was all mythology.
In addition, I read books like "The History Of Hell" by Alice Turner, which showed exactly how some of my beliefs had evolved from pre-Christian beliefs with a clear lineage, and...
