Nothing says you have to believe the same thing everyday, or even moment to moment. Think of your spirituality as kind of story, or a painting, or a song that you sing to yourself. Wouldn’t it be boring to sing the same song every day? There isn’t just one “greatest” song/poem/story/painting because you can’t fit all human experience or emotion into just one of them. I like to treat spirituality this way. Play with your relationship to life’s mysteries. Make an art of it to entertain and comfort yourself.

To be clear, I have some core values that I don’t change, and these inform my politics and how I interact with other people. When it comes to things like death, “the meaning of life”, the origins of the universe etc, I’m most comfortable with fluidity.

I know what Israel is doing, and I know there will be consequences. Fuck you, for saying you’ll kick back and “sip tea” while random Jews reap “karma”. You’re doing Israel’s work for them. I spit on Israel, and I spit on you.

No, and fuck you.

Four. In one of them, literally only up to 10. The other 3, much higher.

How can you have a problem with Cowbee? They are the most well-read and patient poster that I see on Lemmy. I can understand disagreeing, but saying Cowbee is “pushing shit” isn’t accurate.

Make pipe bombs. It was dangerous then, too.

The George Floyd protests were absolutely the reason that Chauvin got convicted and sent to prison. It’s fucked up that that’s what it took, but they at least got a concrete result. Which is more than I can say for any of these other protests. Not that I don’t support them-- in fact I drove 2 hours to DC to participate on Saturday. It was cool to see so many people out, but to make changes, you have to force power to recognize you as a force to be reckoned with.

Macklemore has a couple.

I had 3, but I moved away and lost touch. I sometimes wonder if they’re still there.

It’s small now, but growing. You can’t scroll infinitely for new content. It’s grown a lot in the time I’ve been here. The smallness can be a positive if you work to have genuine interactions with people. There’s no “karma” and some instances have disabled down votes entirely. You have sometimes subscribe to more than one community of the same topic (each on a different instance).

Every fucking version displays our HTML email signatures differently.

Super Hans.

Wanted, tried, couldn’t. Adoption process seemed too intimidating. Making the best of it.

Do one with a circle/slash over it, and another with a cross hair.

I like this topic. Pretty much wherever you go, people are practicing this kind of syncretic belief. This is why the “same” religion in two different countries has local flavor. More often than not, when a religion is expanding into new territory, it absorbs some of the preexisting local beliefs. Christmas is a good example within Christianity, with the Christmas tree.

Another example is Japan where they say “you’re born with Shinto, marry with Christianity and die with Buddhism”. Many places maintain animist beliefs alongside more recent religions. There are even communities in South Asia where people attend both Muslim mosques and Hindu temples!

Add Guardian Project repo. It’s there.

The people I love. My sense of justice.

Brave evangelists in shambles.
