What we think we know for sure is very often the source of all our problems. Revisiting old beliefs is very healthy. The higher you climb, the better you'll see things in perspective. Acquiring and integrating new data = new opinions.

My reason here is that criticizing Christianity without studying the foundational texts is just click baiting, gas lighting and also unproductive. My own criticism was based on my thinking I knew what was in the Bible because I "heard it all already."

I think you do need to read and study some, but not necessarily all, to the point of becoming a priest.
You read some. If the tone sounds parental and prescribtive, pushes to delegate decisions to other centralized predefined entities other than yourself, while meant for adults, you know it is bad.
In some cases you can just see that the followers look and dress, funny, unnatural, unpractical, more so than others, not the way that a lion or a bear would do. So you know the texts that cause that are bad.
Then you may read more if you want to compare with other bad things and understand which of them is worse.
For instance I only had to read a few lines here and there of Bhaghavad Gita, to understan it is no different from Catholicism, obviously copies from one another. Or from Islam if not Catholicism, did not go far enough to investigate which is closer.
Let's dig into this:
" I think you do need to read and study some, but not necessarily all, to the point of becoming a priest. "
-- Here the statement is that one who studies should do so superficially but if he's determined by others to be a priest, is no good. The locus of behavior is the opinion perceived by others. This is circular logic based on what other people think and furthermore what one thinks other people think. What a mess!

"You read some. If the tone sounds parental and prescribtive, pushes to delegate decisions to other centralized predefined entities other than yourself, while meant for adults, you know it is bad."
- Here the logic is Marxist. Make yourself the authority because you can decide what's good for you based on primitive logic. This is the best way to disregard one's parents, teachers and traditions and prepare one for the steering necessary as a factotum.
- Meanwhile you stick with common and trendy language that disregards the Trivium of knowledge which is Grammar, Mathematics and Rhetoric... These are the first things to go in Marxist ideology. Inviting that a religious text has the authority of the supreme consciousness that your consciousness comes from is hilarious.

- This logic is based on the humor of the non-conformist. Most certainly Marxist. The fear of not being like the cool kids, celebrities and pagans in the next town. Just doing things and behaving to match the rest of Babylon. Certainly this is road to losing the gift of life for the humans who are authoritarian and manipulating what is trendy, right, good and "woke".

- This last half of the last paragraph is bragging about ignorance. What translation of the Bhagavad Gita did you read? What few lines written by who? Was the Sanskrit available? Can you read Sanskrit? The answer is that it takes years of research and study to find the truth abd there has to be discipline not to be like an Animal chasing the next shiny thing or hedonistic pleasure. Reading the Bible, Quran, Bhagavad-Gita without understanding the original composition, words, grammar

I couldn't figure out how to respond to this so I copied it.
When you imagine the bell curve the idiot knows he knows nothing and the PHD knows that they're are things he does not know. One is not liking for the truth and the other is.
At the top of the bell curve is the one who knows everything. He's normal. He's fully steered by the occult controllers and has no idea. A useful idiot.
The irony of climbing is that the bell curve is not the apex of knowledge it's the inverse. It's drawn to be the top of the mountain as it is a heap of garbage. How many times I have stood in this heap in my own vanity? I've lost count.
Even then.. It's not the truth. The truth happens when we pray to God. Read about God and while we are reading always ask where is this coming from? I've by the grace of God and Jesus Christ have found that the words themselves do the talking and the circle back to the word of God. Abstractly and generically I'm using regurgitate language but the words themselves are pointing to One who is all powerful, opulent, supreme and loving.
The allegory is reading about Cryptocurrency and always one had to refer to Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself is nothing. It's nothing because it is not God. Cryptocurrency is nothing with a lot details.
There is the rub. The Devil is in the details!
Hey, I was thinking about Jacob's ladder, not climbing the bell's curve! ☝🏻😅
Trivium and Quadrivium
I was told the Ancient Greeks saw those as beautiful women. Maybe people would learn them arts better if they saw the same figures. I've barely seen Grammer's tights and Geometry' breasts and I was speechless. 👀
i been shagging these bitches since i had the notion of having a notion
Making learning entertaining has produced idiots. The trend is to make school so entertaining that nothing is learned at all.
Appealing instead of entertaining? 👀
better to slap them upside the head if they don't
Are you talking about the students or the muses now? 😁
muses are prone to slapping upside the head? i thought they were all about positive reinforcement
Your paragraph had a lot of symbolic information.
Sir, you are too badly plugged (not your own doing) into the matrix. Very far from adulthood as I define it. On a wrong path, actually.
My short advice is: life, world, universe, physics and chemistry are not as complicated as you were led to believe. Don't let your arrogance slow you down in your path to enlightenment.
Thing is, if an animal acts weird, it does not matter what kind of bug it has. Don't eat it, move on.
The penalty is not the punishment, the process is. Penalty is just a propaganda, optics, fear mongering, deterrence.

I realized the 2500 years old guidance may be too complicated for a modern mind. In a nutshell, it says pick your battles.
The Matrix movies were made by two freak brothers who became transgender...
You, sir are in the matrix mind virus.
Lol

Maybe Alex Jones had a point with the gay frogs argument 🙈
We all have a point. It's our nose. It's it going to lead us in the right direction or just the next distraction?
By the way. I have a very long nose. I have long ear lobes too. I've been a great donkey because of these attributes.
Well, I promise I didn't read your comment while replying to my earlier note. The donkey follows me apparently. 😅
How do you feel about red cross and similar, sir?: nostr:nevent1qqspkxjs6vqrkzd47zvq7xk4phe99y085ynd2xcnevdrc5cg9fdy3ycpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzq2vsfhqacvgptqdg0nxjkt34m7s8hu4m4l3wrlh28yy3dlcnx2gsqvzqqqqqqyc2acz3
The Red Cross. I don't know anything about. I don't trust any NGOs. I don't donate any money to any of them.
In the past prisoners of war were given letters and care packages through the Red Cross but now I'm inclined to believe that they are blood sucking parasites.
I still don't have any first hand knowledge.
I also didn't think that they are relevant in my life.
🫂 This is how we know that we are on the same side.
Nevertheless, I have to remain being myself, even though I know that by being meticulous and contrarian in some areas I piss people off: picking on words is childish. Nobody cares if the matrix is the best allegory or if there are better ones. Nobody knows nor cares who the authors were. You understood what I wanted to say. That is it, move on.
If you work on making paragraphs it will be #morebetterest .
😂
