You misspelled holodomor.

Where is the callous hurting of those beneath them for executives. They don’t have to, they just like to.

I know what D is for…

I never have this problem. The spiders would keep the lashes out. They are fastidious cleaners.

The irony of John Lennon being shot and this post being up/downnvoted 2-2 is not lost on me.

I disagree and I don’t think you got it, but I updoot for good faith, some fair points, wit and humour. I’ll always drink to that. ;)

Hmmm. Upvote or downvote? You make solid points. You are defending a position in good faith. Yet “mental disorder”?

Your mentality and eagerness to stake a position and defend the bastion hurts as much as helps.

catholic sins were only defined later

You are making an artificial distinction. Catholicism can be, but shouldn’t be viewed as a thing with a start. It’s part of a continuum. Judaism>Christianity>Islam. Catholic sins weren’t defined later. Like all culture, they evolved from earlier sins. Even calling them Abrahamic Religions as we do is making the same error. The tradition didn’t just emerge, it evolved from predecessors and it has descendants.

natural law is the law of nature, that exists and has nothing to do with religious nonsense but instinct, which originated from evolution.

Aside from the above linking culture, specifically religion to evolution in a real tangible way, please consider that natural selection over time takes random mutations and selects for reproductive fitness. It doesn’t care about what is “good” it only cares about what is most advantageous until new offspring can extend the continuity. We tend to think of this in terms of physiological of biochemical traits, but that’s a narrow view too. Our minds are a product of evolution. Our thinking is a product of our minds.

“Sin” is just part of a evolutionary cultural continuum that started somewhere in the roots of cognition where “actions>consequences” evolved and branched into “sin” and “karma”.

Creatures with evolved complex cognition need their complex social constructs to evolve to survive as well. They become condensed, efficient, easily axiomized artifacts like “the golden rule”, “religion”, philosophy, ethics, morality. All part of a continuum where divergence, convergence and speciation occur.

Religious and atheists are seperate cognitive sub-species who can choose to compete, fall into a predator-prey relationship (e.g. inquisition or communist religious purge) or we can coexist in our respective niches or, like all the best stuff in nature, become symbiotic and make the system better for all.

In short, not Religion vs Evolution. Religion as evolution. 😉👉

We’ll always have each other.

A favourite prank - True Story:

Guy from Québec goes to southern US for work. Thick accent and very catholic. Befriends locals, but finds the trope about ignorance to be … deserved.

At bar after work, locals try to explain Christianity to him. He plays dumb and trolls EXPERTLY.

Merican - So Jesus died for our sins and came back to life.

Qué: Like le zombie?

Merican: Well, no. Not like that. But he showed his friends the holes in his hands to prove it was him and he really died.

Qué: Oui! Like le zombie. Wounds on hands from 'ow he died and fleshrotting off face…

Merican: No no nothing like that.

Qué: But he died? (Yup) For real? (Yup) But got back up? (yes) With wounds. (Yes). So 'ow eez dis not like le zombie?

Merican: I’m just not explaining it well. (Story goes on) Gets to transubstantiation. Take this bread and eat of my flesh. Take this cup and drink of my blood … and you shall have everlasting life.

Qué: Mais oui! You See. Like le zombie! He eat your flesh. I see many movie like dis.

Merican: No! Sorry, I’m not explaining it well. Jesus doesn’t eat your flesh. He wants you to eat his, symbollically.

Qué: Ohhh! I see now. Everlasting life? (Yes) So zombie Jesus feed you his zombie flesh and blood, so you turn into zombie like him and be undead forever. Are all Americain in dis zombie cult?

Merican: 😬🥵 well, when you put it like that I guess it does sound pretty weird.

Linda Hamilton?

American optimism will never cease to amaze me. Hope for a better government like Mr. Chimpo here, in the face of adversity is inspiring.
