That doesn't mean they taste the same. Do you even have taste buds?

In the plains? Chance in a million.

It's one of the things I've bounced off of many times, but each time I come back and give it another shot it gets a bit easier until one day I thought, hey this isn't as bad as I used to think. Not really a ringing endorsement, but I definitely don't hate it anymore. I would still rather do as much as I possibly can in Krita though.

I'd have a lego room, a statue room, a game room, a recording studio, an indoor garden for year-round fresh veggies and beans, a gym, a whole network of model trains running the whole house. Yeah I could probably use a lot of the space. Though to be honest I have a very small space now and I am extremely happy with it, I certainly don't need more than what I have.

He looked at me. And I looked at him. And he looked at me. And I looked at him. And he says what did you want again?

I love linear algebra! It's one of the coolest and most satisfying maths (for me personally)

Dante's Inferno went into detail that was not biblical, but there's enough in the bible that writing it off completely is cherry picking.

"They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

"And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

"And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."

Because there is no downside

Sure, unless you care about LGBT+ people not being discriminated against and murdered. And unless you care about teaching strong critical thinking to avoid conspiracies including anti-vax. And unless you care about the future of the planet in the face of climate change which is largely ignored by religious people who are more focused on the next life than this one. And unless, and unless, and unless....

There are tons of downsides.

As the only way in which the human condition can be contextualised is in a world that is created, and religions are the keepers of that knowledge.

Yeah no, we can contextualize with rational thought, it's just that more work needs to be done that has historically been stifled by religion considering they have historically killed people who didn't go along with them. Religions don't have some monopoly on knowledge in this field, what they have is some shit they just made up, some of which works, and a lot of which doesn't. But they have no methodology by which to test which parts work and which don't so they just push all of them regardless.
