I was referring to Joseph Campbell.

Almost all of the Christian folklore surrounding Jesus can be directly tied to other myths that were common knowledge to Mediterranean people at the time.

There was a dude called Jesus, there were a lot of them. That one was Jewish and belonged to an evangelical cult was likely. But we can’t really say that because the Bible exists so too must have the Jesus described within.

What we have today was written by people hundreds of years after the fact. There was nothing written during these events, nothing at least that survived.

If you go looking for proof of Jesus, you’ll either come out disappointed, or delusional. Think of guys like Ken Ham.

Keep the faith, by all means. But part of believing is accepting that you don’t get to have proof.

Anybody see Donald and Dies in the same sentence and before your able to process the whole thing get REAL excited for a fraction of a second before realizing what it actually said?

Like, Donald Sutherland was a legend and I’m sad he’s gone, but for just a moment, a tiny, tiny moment, I knew a kind of happiness I was before unfamiliar with

There was, back when I was active there. Around the time I migrated to Lemmy there was some drama and I believe that user was suspended. I don’t check it frequently enough anymore to know if there’s a current Picard maneuver surrogate.

If the restaurant has a kids menu, it also has milk.

And diet sugar

We’re in the era of diminishing returns. There’s so little left to squeeze out of the working class that every extra dollar they want costs more than the last one. They’re running out of options on how to convince us to let go of those dollars.

Ok, so that scene in Jurassic Park where Dr Satler looks at a fern and goes “ok this extinct thing is killing your triceratops”

Like a how does she know? Also the fact that they have this whole magic bs story about bringing back dinosaurs with frog DNA, but never tell you where the plants came from, does that bother you too?

Is there a fucking botanist in here today? What’s with all the glorious plant memes? (Not complaining)

Probably huuuaaaaarkgargblebargleglargle

You can’t damage the credibility of people who don’t claim to have any. And, in attempting to do so, you can only increase their credibility.

Matt and Trey don’t claim to be any more than a few jackass comedians with a TV show. Scientology’s MO really doesn’t work against guys like that.

Fun fact, a major contributor for funding training US Olympic athletes comes from the Department of Defense, and it’s about 200 million per year. Unless it’s an Olympics year and then costs skyrocket.

Computer, can you expand on the last point please
