People that make claims without evidence will have them dismissed for exactly that reason. If that’s putting you off, then kiss off…

  • You can let that shit soak before you press it. 5 minutes minimum. And the grind matters. If you do fine grind… you’re getting mud. I prefer a croaser grind and a good 10-15 minute soak with water from the kettle.

    You can even cold brew in a French press. That really gives the coffee body.

    Cabbage is God’s survival food. Cheap, durable, survives winter, ferments into sauerkraut after humanity inevitably ruins society again.

    Broccoli is just God showing off. “What if I made tiny edible fractal trees packed with nutrients, then cursed children worldwide to reject it on sight?” Then spinach is like, I got Pop-eye, beer-itches. And then Barney is like, “beer is liquid bread.” -belch-


  • Not much. Alan Watts had interesting talks on this. Myths are just stories. The Bible is just a collection of stories. Religion goes beyond the written stories, sure, but it’s still nothing without them (spoken and written) and everyone has their own personal mythology.

    Like many self-described Christians these days think Jesus is weak/woke and what other people(definitely not themselves) really need is tough love not ‘sissy/pussy Jesus love’(choice words I’ve heard at services from the pastor at the podium, along with rantings on how lgbtq will burn in hell and the whole congregation is cheering, crying, and/or talking in tongues… It’s fucking creepy.)

    This is especially common in pentecostal and Evangelical sects. Quite rare in mainstream protestantism or Catholicism (though you may get guilt-tripped. My mom said her Sunday school teachers said paying tithings was fire insurance - it keeps you from burning in hell. What a great lesson for children!) Sadly, modern Christianity practice includes things I think would absolutely appall Jesus, canonically. But that’s the great thing about religion, the scriptures are often vague and people genuinely don’t really care about what the Bible actually says unless it’s something they like (Cherry picking, selection/confirmation bias, etc.), like the beatitudes sound great but practicing them is harder than preaching.
