You look cross eyed staring down your nose this hard at people. I think this takes the cake for most high horse comment in this thread. Must be tough having to deal with us low IQ plebs all the time. You should read the Brothers Karamazov.

The money in your bank account isn’t truly yours. The cash you physically hold isn’t truly yours either.

The Bitcoin you have on an exchange or an ETF isn’t truly yours. But the Bitcoin you hold yourself is your money.

Currently I’m stuck.

I have a strong belief that Christianity is powerful and that I only want to live in a Christian society while also not believing that it’s literally true.

So far I haven’t been able to rectify this

I like Christian values a lot. You can live by them without having to believe in God or the Bible literally.

It's not that complicated to me, or am I missing something here? Honest question.

I think that humans created religion to help them cope with difficult situations in life. Religion gives people hope and a sense of security and gives meaning to their lives. If you take these away from people, many of them will kill themselves. That's why even completely neutral people and scientists know that religion is not based on truth. But they are still very rigidly attached to it.

Some people are predisposed to so much evil and violence they need a reason to be better. It's more predominant with lower IQ. The high IQ ones do their evil in private.

And now you see why Christianity builds civilization. It does not begin with certainty; it begins with doubt. It does not wait for perfect knowledge; it demands movement.

You have two choices:

1. To act as if that which you doubt is true.

2. To not act at all.

And here is the paradox: doubt is not the opposite of faith. It is the very thing that makes faith possible. A man who waits for absolute proof before stepping forward will never move. But a man who moves, even in doubt, proves something far greater—that truth is not merely something we observe, but something we create by the way we live.

So live as if it is true—not because you have been convinced beyond all doubt, but because you know that, if it were true, it would be the only thing worth living for. And in the end, you will find that the man who acts as if Christianity is true has done something far more important than proving it. He has made it real.

HOLY FUCK

what is happening

I’m going to start journaling and drawing every night.

There is something to interfacing with paper that screens just can’t imitate or satiate.

Thinking about buying a Tesla. Anyone own one? What has your experience been like?

Just reading this made me tired... Brazilian Jujitsu does all three.

Everyone should have at least 3 hobbies.

1. Physical hobby: something to keep you in shape like weight lifting, running, swimming, or some other sport.

2. Creative hobby: something for self expression, like painting, crafting, photography, etc.

3. Intellectual hobby: something to keep your brain sharp like reading, coding, playing chess, etc.

Washington DC swamp creatures who make money off of consulting, NGOs and "non-profits" are scrambling to figure out how to survive outside of the govt scams.

This guy made a living on "international development".

Complete scam industry where most of the money disappears.
