sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.

Trump just got hit with 7 new articles of impeachment. Charges include obstruction, bribery, authoritarian power grabs. Republicans now have 2 days to decide whether to protect Trump or protect the Constitution. I wonder which they will choose?

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.

I am getting tired of this helplessness and futility. We still have not gotten to the root of these myriad problems. Moment of truth: Superstition is still a profound problem.
We have had political correctness when it comes to superstition for far too long. Superstition, wearing the cloak of God and religion has been ruling our lives forever. It is high time we freed ourselves from its death grip. God is the authoritarian tyrant behind the curtain pulling strings. He has to go. Enough of the deb…
It’s not “God” it’s human’s using the Almighty to threaten other people. That’s why Religion was Supposed to be Separate from anything to do with Government in this country.
Our ancestors (who wrote the Constitution) fled from countries that did exactly what the theocrats are trying to do now in the United States - attempting to impose their version of God on everyone else.
In Europe that tactic lead to hundreds of thousands of murders in the “name of God”

I agree with your sentiments of much of what you say Kay. Save for this.
The Bible is akin to a supermarket, you browse the aisles (pages) and pick out what suits you and discard the rest. Thomas Jeffeson said of it that Christians take scissors and glue, so he did the same with his Jefferson Bible (you can google and download it, it has none of the crap of Paul.

And the earliest known record of a resurrection story originated in Sumeria more than 6,000 years ago. There have been several others since then. Take your pick.
Thanks.
The dudes who wrote the old testament and the new testament, relied on myths passed around and modified thousands of years
Who ever started writing the old testament had worked in the library of Babylon and were familiar with the Sumerian stories of the creation,Eden and the flood. The Akkadians displaced the Sumerians but kept the myths, albeit in modified form to fit them,the Babylonians displaced the Akkadians and wash,rinse repeat.

In approximately 325 CE the Romans morphed Saturnicus into Jesus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F…
That's the Jesus you know, not the circumcized tvillin wearing kosher eating bar mitvahed dovining preacher.
And Kninky Friedman is his prophet. youtube.com/watch?v=5FS…
You are correct, but Saturnicus is not the only one morphed into Jesus.
Actually I think this is how it went down. The Pharisees were a group of Greek educated stoics, and watched the people try to fight the Romans, without success, guerrilla warfare didn't hack it, Masada was the last straw.
If you can't beat them from without, defeat them from within. Rome's strength was it's martial spirit,it celebrated war and conquests with Triumph's , columns, games, it built the Coliseum with slaves taken …
Actually at the time, the dichotomy was followers of James, brother of Jesus and Paul, who never met Jesus.
The historical bibles did not have Easter, and didn't have resurection. "The Council of Nicaea was pivotal in early Christian history as the first ecumenical council, convened by Emperor Constantine to address the Arian controversy, resulting in the Nicene Creed, which affirmed Jesus' divinity and established a foundation for Christian doctrine." Thus sayeth AI.
This whole story presupposes that there existed a Yahooshua (Joshua or Savior) and the whole retinue.
As Voltaire said, all of ancient history is naught more than popularly accepted Myths.
We talk of the Gallic wars as is they were actual events, when they were written by Julius Caesar himself.

Actually we had lots of false Mesiahs.
In the 19th Century, Brits claimed they were the missing tribes.
I am not an expert, but the body of James, Jesus' brother was discovered a few years ago.

There is a lot of Baloney. E.G. The Thirteenth Tribe, a 1976 book by Arthur Koestler advocating the Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry, the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not de…
Interesting response. I am not a Jew, of course but know something about historical Judaism and it's origins., What I know can be disputatious and evoke defensive reactions and I want no part of contributing to the hate.
There is enough of that, the scapegoats are lined up, trans, Jews, queers, blacks, women and sadly too many who are scapegoated have embraced the scapegoaters.
I have read Arthur Koestlers the 13th Tribe and his argument is persuasive, and as a genetic genealogist I have had the …
For the most part, only the mother's line is measured.
Cohanim. My mother's family -- arguably priests. My dad's line is Levite. All Askenazi.
Koestler is bullshit. Some of my people were expelled from Spain -- wound up in the "pale of settlenent" then to Sweden and Wales.... 100% Ashkenazi. There are Jewish remains from the Roman period in England, France, etc.
Some Jews from Hungary, Austuria, were subjects of the Hapsburgs, who took over Spain. Lots of interaction.

Yes I know descent is matrilineal in Judaism.. I've always wondered why, but figure it is because we know for certain the mother, but not always the father, and when you live in a world were rapine is common.. well
Yep Jewish remains in Scotland and England, etc Sephardim, not Ashkenazim, Ashekenazim didn't reach that far., that early and old Ben D'Israeli, he too was Ashkenazim.
I know that Koestler is controversial, main reason is it is politics and identity.
Here is what I know, at the 3rd Worl…
You are presupposing that there was a historical Jesus.
There wasn't, if anything he would have been named Joshua or Yahooshua.
The name itself, going back to the Greeks, was a simile of Dionysos (the name means son of god), his signet was IHS or Iota Eta Sigma.
Now the Greek eta (H) is both a consonant and a vowel, depending on it's placement at the beginning as in Helen it is pronounced as we pronounce the H. in the mididle of a word it is pronounced as an "ee" as in Jesus.
It is the same with th…
