we have no idea they all had the same delusion.
You have no idea that they did, and you have no idea they didn’t.
That’s why I said before that if you can see how religions rhyme, you can find a core message in all of them. And that, I think, is the truth.
What’s your point? That religion is flawed? Then, yes, I agree, that was what I was trying to convey in my original comment.
The exclusivity is a product of man trying to control others. Just look at early Christianity, which was non-hierarchical and gender-equal. It was only later that it was turned into the power structure of Catholicism.
What if their reported experiences are just delusions?
If people across time and space who have sought the answer to the question “What is the nature of the universe and what is the meaning of life” all came to the same delusion, then fuck it, let’s all be delusional together because it’s apparently inherent to human nature.
I didn’t know that about the Australian Aboriginals, I’ll have to learn about them. And what’s the difference between god dreaming the world into existence and god making it with their own hands? It’s all allegory for creation.
Absolutely, people who achieve enlightenment interpret the experience through the lens of their own culture. Buddhism is that truth seen through the lens of Buddha’s Hinduism, Christianity (minus anything Paul wrote) is that truth seen through the lens of Jesus’s Jew upbringing.
There’s even people who have achieved it nowadays that interpret life as a sort of video game.

As a society we are choosing to have industry that creates cancers. If we chose to stop doing that, maybe instead we could spend our time appreciating the beauty of each beetle.
Per Michael Cohen, air dicking = shitting his depends
you’re welcome for that info
He could drop out, but his name would still be on the ballots like RFK Jr. Rs would have to run a write-in campaign, and that’s asking a lot from the average republican voter
It’s not a great mystery, these are people raised in a Fox News propaganda bubble. Their reality is based on lies.
Jet fuel doesn’t need extra tanks of mind control agent, they’re already using leaded fuel
But knowingly selling elbow-cancer-juice is illegal, that’s why we paid for a study that showed it didn’t. We’ll also fight any claims that it does in court to the death
Perhaps, I think in a week Fox will have brainwashed the GOP into thinking it was a victory
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. (1984)
That writer really knows how to end an article on a downer
The god they believe in would tell them to sell their belongings and use all their worldly power to help the poor, but I guess they know better.
Also just look at Clarence Thomas’s expression, that’s a man that’s never known a shred of happiness in his life.
The minimum time commitment is what gets me. I can have my phone out and social media open in seconds
