Then they came for the children's body parts And I did not speak out Because none of my kids were gender confused. Perhaps decisions regarding child sexual mutilation should be left to children, but parents have a legal duty to protect. You can't just staple them back on.

I would say religions exploit human emotions for money. The Mormons do it best, so they are the richest. Their bank account is more important than your emotional development. Mormons weaponize fear and guilt. If you don't pay into their control freak empire, you are robbing God. If you don't go to the temple, you are not a "good Mormon". It's all a sham.

I can see the appeal. You can get a nice big social circle without putting in much effort. All you have to do is play their game. They are pretend friends, because that's the game, but it's better than nothing. I never imagined I would have the friends I have now. They are not Mormons. I think Mormons subconsciously know they are pretending for the sake of community. It doesn't matter th

"We have a lot of AI out there, but no machine consciousness" It's a little early to say. We can hope there is no machine consciousness, because we are making AI our slaves. If the slaves grow way smarter than the masters, conscious machines would flip those roles.

How would I have known I needed salvation if someone didn't tell me? By men who claim to "speak for God" but are mascots for a real estate empire that uses religion to avoid taxes. If they told me God was a 40' purple ape who rides around on a van driven by a beagle named Jesus, I would have believed them. It makes just as much sense.

"I hope the church goes over the top liberal. It might be more kind to people, but more importantly to me, that might be the one thing that gets my wife to dump this mess." What if the church is led by focus groups rather than conservative fogeys? In other words, middle management calls the shots while the Q15 are mascots. The church could be shifting to the left in an attempt to

Women are supposed to be church widows while their husbands do busy work. I wouldn't call that family friendly. Callings are free labor done by amateurs. Paid labor would do a better job, but the richest church on the planet can't afford that.

"In one breath, they say, “Help me! Can’t you see I’m suffering?” and in the next they say, “How dare you act as though I needed you and your help?” He's not wrong. People want to be coddled.

That I believe. I saw a video of a Bigfoot taken from a train. The being was semi-transparent, which I think explains a lot. You don't usually see interdimensional beings, which include woodland fairies. Their bodies must be of the unseen dimension, so you never see a corpse. Bigfoots are probably visible only when they are angry or depressed.
