"And when the sun fell down, and when the moon failed to rise, and when the world came apart where were you?" -Gary Numan, "When the World Comes Apart" 10 years, and not one single day has passed that I haven't thought of Her. #LifeWithoutShelly #LWS #Day3653 #Phoenix

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".

@RobinBo01314180 @Bearzfan13 @SimpleS18790446 Yet these perceptions of God often completely contradict each other, with incompatible messages, goals, and values. The only thing they all have in common is that they coincidentally reflect the prevailing mores of the cultures that create them. Just like if they were made up.

@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

@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.

@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.

@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...
