Watching the Australian version of Alone is imteresting. They're allowed to hear "fuck" on TV like they're adults or something.

Why not love_thefuture? Or love_now?

The healthiest food you can eat is still cheaper than cancer treatment.

I tolerate MapQuest's app. For navigating, it's almost as good.

I can't find the edition that I read. It was written to spur new interest with their youth, since the only way to be Zoroastrian is if both of your parents are. I'm not sure how much that's enforced though. The first 3-5 chapters were free online to entice you to buy the full version.

Anyway, what I remember is that it starts with people living on the north pole, but it's summer all the time. They're following rules from God/Maza, which is similar to rules in other cultures related to keeping the species healthy. One that stands out for me is that each family is to have a sacred fire in their homes.

One day, a messenger from Mazda arrives and says, "The Dark One is coming, and when he does, you'll need to move from here, so start packing and getting ready now. When it starts to snow, the Dark One has arrived, and it's time to head ... that way." and points toward Iran. They claim they are the original Aryans, which is how the country got the name Iran. Oh yeah, they claimed to all be of fair skin, blue eyes, blonde hair.

It starts to snow, everyone starts to caravan down. The Dark One also brought the arrival of insects and cats. I can't remember if that info was from the messenger, or if it's an observation of the members of the caravan. While trekking south, a band of barbarians attacked them and took some of their women, and went back to Norway (my assumption). The caravan settled in Iran, where it seems, everyone else was told to find "their land". Meanwhile, it's peaceful in Lapland. :P

There was a re-written version published in the 90's that had the first few chapters free online. I'll see if I can track it down.

If you haven't read the Zend Avesta (Zoroastrian), you might be interested in how it intersects. It certainly opened my eyes into possibilities of the past.

The beef I have with the original authors is that they took what they knew to be true, then twisted it into something else. They didn't write down what they were told, they straight-up fabricated aspects in the re-telling.

In terms of the "God of the bible", versus what I believe; Jahova is a total shitbag. Yahweh, Elohim, et. al. aren't so bad, but the desires and needs of Jahova are extremely immature, and beneath my own needs and desires. I could never whorship someone that isn't worthy of my presence. I believe the God of the bible (in most depictions) is the demiurge. He certainly acts like it.

The bibles started as a plagarized version of Sumerian texts. Baby set afloat in a river to become a great person... Sumerian. Great flood with an ark ... Sumerian. "We created you in our image."... Sumerian. Stories were taken from a polytheistic believe system, and bent into lies.

Btw, I fully beieve in a devine consciousness of pure love that is (mostly?) reaponsible for our existence. I just see religion as evil, and the bible as a tool for religion.

I don't think you want me to point out how false the bible is. It departs you from divinity.

Any pics of the spinning?

I'm thinking a shop would charge about $200ish for that fix.

I shot it using a Raging Judge. It replaced the .44 Mag as my favorite (less than practical) round to shoot.
