I was abused by my christian parents.

I would like to live long enough to see humanity mature out of superstition and free the world from human greed.

There is, stop strawmanning it to “magic”

Can god make something out of nothing? That is magic. Can god reverse death? That is magic.

What’s up with the blood sacrifices and rituals? Totally-not-magic?

The Son of Man as in the Messiah. Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Messiah meaning savior? To save us from the punishments god created for us?

Jesus told him to “feed my sheep”.

Jesus was kind of a dick like that, yeah. If we believe the gospels.

Jesus Christ

Again, there is no such thing as a christ, magic isn’t real.

literally said he is the Son of Man

Isn’t everyone?

and assigned Pope Peter as the “rock” of his church

And what does that mean? One of these four interpretations? www.gotquestions.org/upon-this-rock.html

Or something else entirely? Let’s ask Jesus. Oh right… he died.

GotQuestions.orgWhat did Jesus mean by “upon this rock I will build my church” in Matthew 16:18? | GotQuestions.orgWhat did Jesus mean by “upon this rock I will build my church” in Matthew 16:18? Is Peter the rock Jesus was referring to? Does Peter being the rock mean that the Catholic Church is the one true church?

But he also recently approved a new treatise on human dignity that lists “gender theory” and gender-affirming surgeries — which many, though not all, trans people undergo — among the “grave violations of human dignity in our time,” placing them alongside sexual abuse, human trafficking, poverty and abortion.

Is the Vatican's condemnation of trans surgery new? Theologians discuss.National Catholic ReporterIs the Vatican's condemnation of trans surgery new? Theologians discuss.NCR asked three Catholic theologians how they view the Vatican's new doctrinal document, which condemns gender-affirming surgery for transgender people.

The fact that our lives will come to an end makes every moment we have more precious. These are unique experiences that cannot be replicated.

Easy to say, and I do believe it, but also…

Boomers like my parents chose and still choose to perpetuate abusive systems instead of opposing them. I spent too long thanking them for teaching me violence because any other reaction would be met with violence. Why am I supposed to feel grateful about being born into a backwards, burning slave world?

I am finally getting treatment for alcohol dependency. I want to stop hiding from my own life, but I don’t know how. I wasted myself on people who don’t actually care about anything but themselves. It sometimes feels like there is too much pain for anything to be worthwhile, but I am also too scared to check out early.

So… I don’t know. We have a lot of problems to solve. Things may get worse before they get better, but there is potential for things to get better. Theoretically. 🤷 I hope they get better for everyone, including you. I wish I knew.

Not too spicy, but they at least acknowledge it.

On 27 July, WMF declined to voluntarily recognize the US union. WMF stated that the union would need to pursue a formal NLRB election procedure. 404 Media viewed the WMF’s 27 July statement as using “very carefully-worded language common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization”.
