@ohhanxiety Religion, by about 95%.
You are "religious" when you don't believe.
If you truly believe, there's no point in religion—you see the obvious.
Religion is mostly childish clinging.
Saying truth is actually very hard and it cures the need for religion altogether.
why isn't @elonmusk and @SpaceX building a permanent base on the Moon? no way we go to mars before that. Is it lack of imagination, money, or permission?
If you won't find a way to reconcile your doctrine with Buddhism and Jainism... your church will become worthless garbage before your and you'll not understand why.
Good luck to you.
so, @Pontifex, here are the basics for you:
Mara binds through craving.
Satan binds through accusation and false worship.
Belial binds through worthlessness, contempt, and false measure.
Yo, @Pontifex, you have a Zen problem. In 2000 years you have failed to do anything about Satan, you barely acknowledge Mara (via a nod to Buddhism) and what the actual duck are you going to do about Belial? Only Zen can save you fools. Better figure it out ASAP.
@AstronomyVibes "and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs, being shaken by a great wind."
they will. you're asking "why haven't they come one at a time," and that seems a long story.
"it is rare to find learned men, who are clean, so not stink, and have a sense of humor."
welp, things improved by a smidgeon since 1666, however, not much
@trippcircuit@CuriosityonX God is an empty word you don't understand and so is "heavens"!
If you take a handful of dirt into your hand and say to yourself "this is earth," you'll learn more than quoting nonsense from a book you haven't read which you wouldn't understand even if you did (read it).

@elonmusk Don't gloss over the fact that telling the truth is dangerous for the truth teller.
If you tell the truth, long enough, somebody will chop off your head.
The diagram is useful, however, if you applied like a fool, you will suffer consequences.
when someone says "energy" or "god" they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.
your garbage newtonian physics and your stupid mantra "energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred" irks me more and more.
energy is relationally real, not real-real.
Our model compresses the observations available to our instruments, scales, and dimensional access.
It may be complete within that projection.
It may not be complete with respect to the generator of the projection.
