BELIEVE IN THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN YOU

100%. I fully recognize that this is solely what I’ve experienced and not what’s taught across the board (especially maybe in Republican states).

tell you have sin for super natural things like sex and being born

Idk, it doesn’t bother me to be told I’m a sinner cuz the same doctrine preaches that everyone’s a sinner. You, me, the goddamn pope. Ned Flanders himself is also a sinner. The guy yelling at people through a megaphone with the turn or burn speech? You bet your ass he’s a sinner.

It’s kinda setting a baseline - humanity itself is flawed. It def has its peaks and highpoints, but I cannot deny that it is flawed, esp amidst today’s political and environmental concerns - can you?

I’m not bothered by acknowledging we’re imperfect shitters, since that sticker is applied to humanity as a whole. Even the most pious, trying their hardest to adhere to religion person, is still preached to be a sinner. Christianity then preaches that nothing you can do can change that except to accept to accept Jesus or something.

Idk - I’m probs not not the best discussion partner for this as I’m not particularly keen on spirituality and I’m likely missing nuance.

guilt and give money to the church

There might be those, but what drew me to the churches I attended was that they also regularly served the community. Hell, I was a homeless ministry outreach leader myself for years when I was in college. Every week we’d split up into pairs walking around downtown area at night handing out food, water, and building up relationships with folks.

but by loving God, even someone as worthless as you can be loved.

It’s worth pointing out, in my experience, most of the churches I’ve attended swapped cause and effect - that God loved humans so much that he sacrificed his son, which is a reason to love him. Most I’ve attended don’t teach to hate yourself, rather that what you experience now is the baseline of being a “sinner”. Basically, you’re already in the bad place. No need to hate yourself further. Maybe the churches I attended were just more carrot and less stick.

I haven’t practiced religion in a while, but since this seems to be a response to a genuine question, it seems prudent to offer what is typically, in my experience, preached alongside a clearly sardonic answer.

A core tenet of Christianity is to “give yourself fully to Jesus”, and a common theme is to juxtapose “trusting in Jesus, choosing actions based on what he did, etc.” with “trusting only in yourself, choosing actions based on what you want, etc”

Tbh I have a $300 robot vacuum cleaner/mopper that saves me a ton of time. We call it “robama” so we can say “thanks, robama”

The fact of the matter is it’s easier to do things purely in the digital domain, like making digital images, or text. The menial, physical world stuff will be automated too, it’ll just take longer. Things like a dishwasher, and washing machine/dryer are pretty overlooked pieces of automation we already have.

Right, which uses DNF to install software

What do you MEAN ‘dnf’ stands for “do not fuck”???

If anyone would like to learn more about the powers that be that resulted in this disaster, here’s an article that goes over how the orgs that manage organ donation, inducing pressure on medical staff and introduce a conflict of interest.

Idk how much of a threat it actually is, but wasn’t musk threatening to primary anyone who went against him?
