As I’ve gotten older I’m WAY less interested in the violence of the Pokémon world. Games like Pokémon Cafe Remix are much more appealing to me.

I’ve never been diagnosed with PLMD, but it’s something I’ve experienced. My symptoms seem to be tied to stress. Managing my stress more effectively seems to help quite a bit.

Idol: an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.
I agree that they probably weren’t intended to be idols, but pictures of Jesus, Mary, the cross, etc are just objects of worship.
Jesus’s message of universal love goes beyond the Christian religion, which feels like it only exists to promote itself instead of the values that Christ promoted.
If Jesus were alive today I doubt he would care about the destruction of religious symbols. He’d probably say something like “Why are you concerned with a symbol when you have brothers and sisters who need help? If you really want to exalt God, go out and do His work.”
Like, if people truly believe God is the alpha and omega do they really think they need to get offended on his behalf?
Christianity has done a great job of putting God in a tiny box called “religion” and taking away all his power to the point where dinosaurs, evolution, and science are able to shake their faith.
God/love/the universe is nonsense, and we get to spend our whole lives trying to figure that nonsense out.

I’m pretty sure Jesus was opposed to the idea of nations, geopolitical boundaries, and political authority in general. So idk if he’d accept a title like “president”.

Fuck that’s depressing, but at the same time I think making a better world for people is something worth dedicating your life to.

Yeah, I absolutely agree. I think encouraging a scientific perspective (forming conclusions based on testing, while being open to the idea that those conclusions might change with additional testing) is incredibly important because it fosters the attitude that there are a lot of things we can’t know “for sure”, but we can be confident enough in our knowledge to take action, and humble enough to admit when we’re wrong.
You can get pretty far in life just by applying the scientific method and the golden rule.
Sorry about your friend. I hope that despite their distorted world view they’re still able to maintain healthy relationships and find/provide love and happiness, because at a personal level I think that’s the most important thing someone can achieve.

That’s wild, but I almost can’t blame some kids for their misconceptions. Stories about Captain America fighting Nazis blur “reality” in a weird way because stories can be interpreted both literally and symbolically.
Like, the idea of Captain America being a “real” bio-engineered person might not seem as crazy to a person after they learn about something like MKUltra lol
The more we advance science and technology the more plausible our fantasy worlds become. You can still differentiate through experience, but I’ll cut high schoolers some slack since they just haven’t had that experience.
From my perspective the world high schoolers are growing up in today seems even more fantastical and comicbook-like than the one I grew up in as a high schooler.

I probably should’ve used “ignorant” or “uneducated” instead of “stupid”.
What I was trying to say is that as long as people continue to have imperfect knowledge of the universe there will always be room for speculation/imagination.

I called myself stupid in my own post, so I have no problem with other people reaching the same conclusion.
Believing something that is wrong can make people dangerous, and I think that’s cause for concern.

Atheists are more fun to talk to because they're more concerned about having facts and truth to backup their beliefs. Whereas if I get high and troll religious people they'd just think I'm another normal Christian, lol
Anyone have any ideas on how to kill God? I was thinking a out it and I think for a lot of people "God" is just this undefined "thing" out there that they can attribute other things to. Like imagine a caveman kid talking to their caveman parent and asking questions like "Why is there a day and a night? Why is sky blue? Why is dog died?" And the caveman parent just makes something up. When people don't know the cause of something, they can create a cause out of their imagination. God will always be lurking in the imaginations of stupid people, and we will always have stupid people on this planet. For a while this scared me because I'm a stupid person with an imagination, so I knew the idea of "God" will stay with me till I die (since I can't think about anything when I die). So I think the only way to kill God is if everyone dies. But even then it's a gamble because there's a whole "if a tree falls in a forest?" aspect. Anyone else have any ideas?
What if there were voice chat channels you could join in a thread to discuss posts? The idea would be to give people a richer way of communicating instead of just typing comments and replies. Update: I just realized what I really wanted was to have a conversation, so I'm going to get off the internet and actually go talk to people in the real world.
If what they believe is true, one day they may be forced to realize their mistakes.
