What a *nimrod*

Our thinking can be so twisted by religion. Imagine someone long ago wants to build a really tall tower. Nobody knows engineering, material science, etc. They just start stacking rocks on top of each other like they do when they made short buildings. Eventually it's so tall and heavy that it's no longer stable, one side sinks into the ground, and the whole thing falls over. And what's their takeaway? Is it about learning from their mistake and trying again? No, it's "God is punishing your hubris!" Religion just poisons the mind.

The tower of babel is a great lesson.

One day I'll actually watch them all, classic and ones I mean. The older ones are a bit ummm more difficult to enjoy the same way. Always thought Capaldi was short changed in that his two parters, were less interesting than many single episodes of new who but they did try. And mostly I thought it was writing not acting that held them back,Capaldi rocked. But I did like they tried, cause so many old whos were least 4 parters if not more and people were asking but I don't think they had the proper mindset to stretch it out even half as well.
Edit also don't mind me, I just think the Doctor is one of the best characters/heroes of all fiction...he always does the best he can to save all he can. Mean it's cheesy but gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when the story only gives so many options.
if only we could all push for what that character said was good. It'd make a better world.

I bet a lot of religious tenets come from a lie that got way the fuck out of hand.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]That, and accurate observations that they couldn't correctly explain. For example, prohibiting eating pork because it's "unclean," while having no clue about trichinosis. They don't know (scientifically) how to mitigate it, so they just tell people it's a sin.

Pathetic.
Jesus is still a myth. Still no actual proof he ever existed.
Get over it
Let me point you to the book that started me on a journy. I've been reading books and academic papers on early christianty (first two-hundred years) for the past 20 months. The first time I encountered the christ myth was here:

It also explains why people started speaking different tongues. And Warns the young to not build a thing so ridiculously big, building fall down.
Trying for what is progress, but in sight so you can achieve it is better.

Same, our church growing up never talked about that. (disclaimer atheist now)
I know that scholars understand the "official" Bible as a combination of earlier sources. Still, it's funny how much Bible fanfic there is. How do you decide which stuff is real and which stuff is too crazy.

You selectively choose during each argument whichever fits your personal agenda.

The big mistake was them assuming that all the religious people who claimed to have read the bible actually ever had.
