  • Not purporting to have all the answers here or to ascribe to any particular one.

    That said though…The concept is that sin (breaking the rules set forth) has a price that has to be paid. Pre jesus that was done with sacrificing an animal, generally the best lamb of a litter(think litter is the right word, doesn’t matter really). It was meant to be symbolism for when jesus performed his sacrifice.

    The whole purpose with jesus coming was to be the sacrifice that would pay the price for sins committed. Thus allowing the law to have its demands of punishment be met, and allowing mercy at the same time. Appeasing justice and granting mercy.

    The whole trinity concept (god is jesus and the holy spirit etc) is distinctly Catholicism, (maybe a couple others, not sure edit:not just a catholic thing, I’ve been corrected.). It confuses the fuck out of me on a conceptual level so I’m not sure how to explain it. But in general I think what I’ve laid out is the basis for many of the sects

    They aren’t really. Just asking you to give backing to your position. You’re getting worked up. I’m guessing it’s probably a sensitive topic for you.

    Not everyone has a bad experience in or with organized religions. Not everything about every church is broken. If you’re taking an absolutist position that they are, that’s as naive an approach as you are accusing them of.





  • So I have a pet theory on studies like that. There are many things out there that many of us take for granted and as givens in our daily lives. But there are likely equally as many people out there to which this knowledge is either unknown or not actually apparent. Reasoning for that can be a myriad of things; like due to a lack of experience in the given area, skepticism that their anecdotal evidence is truly correct despite appearances, and on and on.

    What these “obvious thing is obvious” studies accomplish is setting a factual precedent for the people in the back. The people who are uninformed, not experienced enough, skeptical, contrarian, etc.

    The studies seem wasteful upfront, but sometimes a thing needs to be said aloud to galvanize the factual evidence and give basis to the overwhelming anecdotal evidence.





  • I have said the same as well. Prior to them dropping the fat grumpy that is 11, I was all in on the windows ecosystem for myself. I heavily modified it of course so it didn’t have a bunch of the nonsense but overall, the experience was good. But then they started warping 10, and then they came out with 11 which was massive garbage at release and now is worse garbage years down the road. And with that AI outlook, I’m full on bailing from everything.
