Follow me if you like shitposts about the historical cross-roads' between Abrahamic superstitions versus #Pagan religions and philosophies. I also post about news and politics of Soviet Canuckistan, 'Murica, and other such despotic regimes, particularly in relation to human rights in a digital and #infosec context. Apart from that, lots about #herbalism, #permaculture, tiny homes, cute Asian thots and other random BS as the whim strikes me.

If you're gonna engage with me in a conversation, please bring something to the table that actually elevates the discussion. If you're just there to lob ad hominems, bitch about <insert racial slur>, cry about your place in the victim Olympics, or other such fuckwit antics, I'm gonna make fun of you mercilessly and when I get too bored, mute your account. Use your brain.

> Do you struggle with the concept of past and present? I talk of what the religion is now, what the dead did cannot be changed or affected anymore.
Did Catholics adopt a different holy book recently that I don't know about? Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
> your hate boner
When the Abrahamic religions stop vilifying people of my ilk and can demonstrate >= 1,500 years of actually walking their talk, then (and only then) I'll have sufficient reason to reciprocate that change in attitude. Until that time, I'm going to continue to advocate against their genocidal mass delusion, and the myopic protests of people like yourself won't bear any weight on the matter.

I sincerely hope that the temple mount is turned into a smoking glass crater. Please please please make it so.

Same thing with SimpleX. Unless you want to wank about shitcoins, the only way to meet people is irl/afk and then convince them to join you on the platform.

All that theology is from Plato's writings and was used to backwards rationalise a theology out of the BuyBull.
As to the snake, many early Christians (eg. Naassenes, Ophites, Sethians, etc) equated the snake with Christ and the crucifixion with the staff of Moses (Nehushtan).
Never mind that the Sanhedrin had the authority to execute any Jews they wanted according to their own laws (by burning, stoning, strangling, etc), and had absolutely no need to defer to Roman authorities if they wanted Jesus dead for blasphemy (a capital offence). The Romans allowed them to self-govern this way until the extremist Jews went on their murdering spree and the revolt they incited was crushed by Titus in 70CE. Ergo the story is symbolic fiction, not to be taken literally. Of course you'd probably know this if you spent any time studying the surrounding history and cultural context of the book instead of just regurgitating it like a brainless parrot.

He's right that agnosticism makes more logical sense (notwithstanding Russell's Teapot), but also he's constructed a straw man so he can pretend a victory more easily. I appreciate the guy's commentary on female psychology/sociology, but beyond that, he's chronically condescending and should really just stay in his lane instead of spouting off like an authority on shit he obviously doesn't understand to the same degree.

Personally I think if there's a list that's available to the political class, then both sides have it, and are on it. There's no point in throwing one side under the bus when the logical retaliation will be them doing the same to your side. It's mutually assured destruction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclectic_medicine
"Eclectic medicine was a branch of American medicine that made use of botanical remedies along with other substances and physical therapy practices, popular in the latter half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. The term was coined by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1784–1841), a botanist and Transylvania University professor who had studied Native American use of medicinal plants..."

I live in Canada though, and mostly worked in and around the Toronto area. It's arguably a lot more cosmopolitan than most other places. But when you say "majority in tech jobs", does that mean disproportionately in view of the demographics of the region in question? Because frankly if you're in a majority white area, it would be hardly surprising to find a majority of white people employed ... anywhere. That's hardly an indication of racism.

Same. White men have been the minority (relative to general population demographics) in all the corporate IT jobs I've had, long before all this DEI and "women in STEM" nonsense became vogue. That includes at C-level.

Btw, another thing to consider in this context is that egalitarianism doesn't necessarily mean the absence of defined gender roles. In every supposed patriarchal society (at least among pre-Christians) women had a great deal of power, particularly in the domain of the spiritual realm (eg. Entu, Sybil, Völva, Amengansie, etc), up to and including the ability to decide the fates of entire civilisations (eg. Enheduanna). Apart from the Haudenosaunee and plenty of other NA Indigenous groups, there's also Celtic and Germanic societies like Icelandic Commonwealth (formed from a diverse collection of Scandinavian and British immigrants, and if DNA evidence is to be believed, at least one Algonquin woman) which have ancient traditions of egalitarianism. How many Celtic Queens do we still talk about today (Medb, Boudica, Cartismandua)? Egypt (Nefertiti, Cleopatra)? Or scholars (my fave being Hypatia)? That's just low hanging fruit.
Although it was fairly rare, in Iceland for instance it wasn't unheard for women to hold the highest status in an otherwise stateless society such as Goða (lawyer/priestess). An example would be Þuríðr in Landnámabók (Hauksbók). Ultimately it wasn't this practice which lead to the downfall of the commonwealth but rather the Christianisation of the island followed by eventual purchase of legal/governing power (since public office could be bought and sold) among a couple elite families who ultimately sold out to Norway. If you've ever read the Illiad, considered a classic founding myth of Western civilisation, it's wall to wall with stories of people from different cultures mingling and fighting side by side, from Europe, Asia and Africa alike. To say nothing of the Gods. Every great civilisation that's ever existed, especially when poised at the crossroads of trade and travel, has had to contend with diversity, and ultimately accommodate representation by/for people of every ethnic background within their reach. Either that or become subject to the eventual violent revolt of those same minorities. In fact it's arguably refusing to accommodate them (provided they've met all the other necessary criteria for acceptance, and haven't proven themselves hostile) which is the greater threat to social cohesion. Again though, that doesn't mean being in denial of differences, nor lack of assigned roles for gender expression. Though in the case of some societies (Samoan Faʻafafine, Filipino asog/bayok Babaylan, etc) those roles can include the ability to officially adopt the opposite gender and be treated more or less as such, often with very high status (eg. Buhawi). It wasn't egalitarianism that proved to be the undoing of these peoples, but the technology, violence and capacity for deceit of their neighbours and foreign guests.

I don't know that they do. Take the Haudenosaunee Confederacy for one example. It's been around over a 1,000 years, and was the model for the USA and it's constitution. I think the lesson to draw from the decline of those egalitarian societies isn't that it's a bad idea, but that it shouldn't make one foolhardy enough to believe that automatically exempts you from becoming subject to external aggression from more warlike neighbours. The other thing you can draw from the Haudenosaunee constitution (Gayanashagowa) is the necessity of mandating a compatible cultural ethos among immigrants before they're allowed to obtain citizenship and voting rights. It's far more complex than simply "equality == the baaad" (aka: "immigrunts be tak'n muh jobbbzzz").
