i was told that the bible was a compilation of stories, gathered together by drunken sheepherders. then it was translated, re translated, taken over by kings and others in power, re worded and rewritten again, only now to be reinterpreted by those who chose to use it to make money. f_uck that sh!t.
(told to me by a brother timothy, at the church of the nativity, in bethlehem. i was 10.
so, satan, god, jesus, all that crock, are nothing but opiates for the masses. autoprax ought to be very into it based on that alone.

Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

Father is the universe, basically everything, (that include nothingness... for you Zen masters), infinite, eternal, beyond comprehension yet right here before our eyes. Yeah, so, like, everything. And you could just as easily call the father the mother, since everything includes everything.

Son is the incarnation, our personhood. We ALL experience life through the vehicle of this personhood.

Holy Spirit is what happens when we realize OUR personhood is not all there is. When you identify yourself as part of everything. That awareness engenders compassion, empathy and understanding. The golden rule.
sounds hokey, do religidiots even comprehend their own drivel :barf:

Human beings seem to have an innate desire for some type of religious belief experience in their life. When they move away from traditional/conventional religions, it often tends to be replaced by political ideologies (wokism, Trumpism), Crossfit, comic book movies, New Age woo woo stuff, their intellects, etc.

I wouldn't call myself religious. Can you tell me one part of this interpretation of life that doesn't hold up to lived experience?

I also have a unshakeable, undeniable belief in life after death. Like, after we die, life goes on. We see it every day. Someone dies, yet here we are. So I believe we should work, not for some reward in heaven, 40 virigins or whatever, but for the good of folks here on earth ( or in your case, Mars). Whether we as a person/soul continue on after we shuffle off this mortal coil, that's where I'm left with a big question mark. ???

Have a good one, everybody.

Opiates are opiates for the masses

I rarely do them anymore.

I can get one good high and then I have to to take a 3 month break.

I find it interesting how I'm hard wired not to get addicted given that opiates are framed as being so addictive.

I'm still down to star in my reality show where I do addictive drugs for a month to see if I can get addicted.

Hit up your connections.

In season 2, lets do cocaine.

Forget religion, here's another thing that will melt your faces:

I was explaining the importance of tradition to my wife last night but I should've just showed her this clip.
