The problem with christianity is that it traps people in a perpetual state of childish helplessness — shifting all responsibility to god, declaring that whatever happens is 'god’s will,' and branding any attempt at independent thought or self-determination as sinful hubris. The only acceptable posture becomes one of submission: get in line, kneel humbly before the church, the bible, the deity — and relinquish your own agency, capability, and responsibility.

Worse still, its endgame isn’t salvation, but surrender. Christianity embraces the destruction of the world as a divine inevitability -- a righteous finale to human history. It despises the material world, human progress, and even life itself as flawed and temporary, unworthy compared to the imagined perfection of a heavenly afterlife. In this view, Earth is just a waiting room, and any attempt to improve it is not only pointless, but potentially blasphemous.

Let the evil times be over soon please!

"The U.S. government is currently under the control of a deeply ignorant, vengeful megalomaniac with zero impulse control. And it’s not just Elon Musk: Trump shares the same characteristics."

Look at this sneaky f*cker of an ad

Be careful out there!

Now my fear is that Trump will simply have mail sent to registered Democrats full of Putin's poison powder

I wonder what Steve Jobs would think...

This video of Elon's son saying things like

"At Space X we quietly do whatever we want, muahaahaa" and "They'll never know"

"You can't build something, or improve or maintain something that anyone else built, without that knowledge and care. But anyone can swing a hammer, ... Enough blows will do the job; eventually, even the blindest swing will hit something important. You can't build anything enduring this recklessly or this stupidly, but you can kill just about anything that way."

When people give their soul to Jesus during the conversion process, does he keep a backup somewhere? or does he just send it directly to /dev/null or what? This is never discussed btw, what happens to your original soul which you are supposed to hand over to him for safekeeping? And isn't that what the devil does, he steals your soul for his private soul collection or something like that. Just asking some questions....

Don't be a sucker!

It's all because we are stupid monkeys who get uppity from time to time and crave war, whether with foreigners or if they are not available, with ourselves.

Can't we move past this evolution-installed vice?

Just unreal

Just listened to the BBC Radio production of Asimov's "I, Robot"

Brilliant prescience and couldn't be more timely.

It's literally that the right wing would prefer to kill themselves and the rest of us as well rather than have to help people in need or tolerate differences

The right thinks that helping people and caring and understanding others is a feminine trait and therefore "gay" and so they live in a world of pure refined hate at all times lest anyone question their over the top levels of toxic masculinity.

Taking bets... After Trump takes office, he tries selling pardons to the highest bidder(s) and we get a class of billionnaire criminals at large

Here's a wild 3am idea. Perhaps the new idiots in charge will decide to privatize not just the post office, but the government itself. Trump will then drive it to bankruptcy, as is his wont. Then Canada just does an acquisition of our failed govt corporation and we become the United States of Canada and we all get free healthcare and live happily ever after.
