All mental constructs are “lies” in that it’s our vision of the world imposed on reality. What is a chair? For us is a structure we can sit on, for the universe or the rest of species on this planet, it’s just a piece of thing, and even wood is a constructed concept
Robert Maxwell published our textbooks
I dont think its a good idea for Christians to be picking at that thread
I think it's a fantastic idea, I just don't think they'll like where it leads.
They’re SO deep down the hole with their big lie that they think everyone ELSE is lying to himself. Truly amazing.
Critical thinking simply stops. It's incredible. I saw someone say to a Christian that their morality comes from divine revelation from a magic purple hippo that created the universe and the Cristian accurately identified all the problems with that argument. Then when asked where morality comes from, regurgitate the exact bullshit they themselves debunked with God in place of the purple hippo.
The bible even has something to say about it:
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Always loved that one.
What does the quoted passage mean and how does this painting relate?
“mote” as in a speck of dust
“beam” as in a huge plank of wood
Basically don’t point out small faults of your neighbor while ignoring huge faults of your own.
It’s a metaphor. No one has a beam in their eye. But it’s a metaphor that drops suddenly in the second half, because you can literally imagine a mote in someone’s eye.
Idk I can picture a jagged 2x4 giving me a Phineas Gage style impromptu lobotomy just fine.
Its a bibpe verse against hypocrisy, essentially correct yourself before correcting others. Take the log put of your eye before you take it out of someone else's. The painting shows a guy talking with a log his face.

What if the lie is something totally not related to religion, like you aren't a total loser and your friends really do love you and you are smart and capable?".
Nah.
If your friends are wonderful people and they love you, you have to trust their judgement!

I’m just posting because I noticed that the W in “your whole life” is an upside down M. Goddamn typomania got me again!
Did you notice that two of the four-letter “I”s are upside down as well?

oh, religion. nothing embodies hypocrisy like you.
Decrease needless and avoidable suffering for all minds whenever and wherever possible.
Instructions confirmed.
Total suffering shall be minimized.
💀💀🤖💀💀Just the needles and avoidable suffering. Some suffering actually helps people get closer to wellbeing like exercise or surgery.
You think that's air you're breathing now?
Heyyyy now, y'all be careful with that. The knife cuts both ways.
I mean. I’d argue that the group that more frequently questions its positions and beliefs based on new evidence without killing a significant portion of a country, is a safer source for interpreting the world than the group that killed 40% of Germany when one assumption, regarding the authority of the bishop of Rome, was in dispute for the first time in several centuries.
Of course. The ironic point is that plenty of people believed the old versions of what research showed dinosaurs were until they died. Some in denial of new research, like the presence of feathers.
Humans are dogmatic about more than just religion.
Imagine believing in creationism and using dinosaurs, 35 of which are wandering around my farm right now shitting out eggs we eat, as the metric of God's will.
