@Cernovich Even better than "The Gift of Fear" is this book:

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

It's the youngest among the major religions.

Hinduism
Beginning: ~1500–2000 BCE or earlier

Judaism
Beginning: ~2000–1500 BCE (traditional) or ~1000–500 BCE (scholarly development into distinct monotheistic form).

Buddhism
Beginning: Mid-5th to early 4th century BCE (~563–483 BCE traditionally for the Buddha's life).

Christianity
Beginning: 1st century CE (~30–33 CE).
Emerged from Judaism as a movement centered on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth in Judea (Roman province). It spread rapidly after Pentecost following his crucifixion.

Islam
Beginning: Early 7th century CE (~610 CE).
Founded by the Prophet Muhammad in Mecca (Arabian Peninsula). The first revelations from God (via Angel Gabriel) occurred around 610 CE; the Hijra (migration to Medina) in 622 CE marks the start of the Islamic calendar.

@TheExtraCredits I really enjoyed it. It's a summer blockbuster style movie. It was quite entertaining, kept me guessing as it went, and fun.

Emily Blunt is excellent.

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@mtgreenee Right! Because you would *never* want to question anything you believe!

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@GodRulesIRL I saw the movie and enjoyed it. He's an excellent director, and Emily Blunt was fantastic.

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

Where did Steven Spielberg "admit" this exactly? And, how would he know? He's a talented filmmaker, who also made E.T., War of the Worlds, and Close Encounters.

I've never seen him claim to have detailed knowledge of things alien.

These are fictional stories designed to entertain us and sell popcorn.

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@mark_k Yes. I saw it yesterday and really liked it. I can't imagine anyone saying it's terrible.

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

Just saw Disclosure Day and really enjoyed it. Lived up to my expectations,

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@HedgehogDogs @dcopechatter Maybe. Maybe you can tell by holding it up to the light? Or use voter registration to reject votes from registered Republicans?

Just cause you asert something doesn't make it true.. and you are obviously highly partisan Blue Anon type

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@CptBorshninkov @MilesTrav Sick of the $6 word "agentic". Pretentious, trendy, stupid.

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@kbmullen5 @MilesTrav Maybe. How much do the circumstances of your great-grandparents situation effect your everyday life? Isn't that dwelling in the past both a choice and a pathology?

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@AmandaMilius The original, not the sappy redo from the 2010s.

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@NickKristof Not my tribe.
Not my problem.
I'd gladly take the thousands of dead Americans lost there back. We tried, they prefer it that way.

Quote of the day:

"A cadre of deranged, depraved, deceitful, and dangerously destructive Democratic demagogues is determined to pile up political points on this petulance as they undermine American interests and offer aid, comfort, and most of all, encouragement to our enemies via shameless slander of their commander-in-chief"

@Annakhait @FoxNews Idolize? Maybe respect or love him, and what he represents.

They aren't worshipping him as an idol.

I pray you go to confession and then mass.

@STEVE5093928580 @PaulGolding Where is this?

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

@Guzik_Paulina Start ex-communication of pro abortion politicians. That's your job. Do it.

[Richard Casimir @NWFreeZone]

I'm an atheist. I don't hate the Pope. He's a guy in charge of a big organization, a tough job. I think he has many stupid beliefs in the political realm. (I don't concern myself with his religious beliefs like should the Catholics allow women priests. It's good he's adressing sex abuse.

It's disgusting that he's aligned with David Axelrod against our American president. Another idiot leftist CEO.
