@TubunMuzuru @CaptHarpo If "God" is, in our human opinion, an idiot psychopath, what would be the material value of that assessment? It's like a child running away from the dinner table because his parents served asparagus on his supper plate. He wants candy! What kind of idiot psychopath parent would serve asparagus?! I'll bet if ants and bees could think, they'd have a few assessments of us, but would we care?!

@CaptHarpo I think of that word more as "respect" and I also am of the opinion that the writers - men - imposed their own self-serving psychoses on how they wrote down stuff so that, what we attribute to "god" through their presentation really is more a reflection of them, not that god. Even Jesus mentioned god in feminine ways and they got/get downplayed by writers/preachers who presented through their own lenses of toxic masculinity.

@th3j35t3r Remember all the John Smiths in telephone books? What if you didn't also know the address of the John Smith for whom you were looking? This is not a unique problem created by the #fediverse. Remember all the numbers added to names when email became widespread, and you went to sign up and found that someone else with your name already had your firstname lastname?

@Zaptrapped I appreciate that. It does appear, at face value, that available data indicates nothing out of the ordinary and that it's not the frequency that has changed but the coverage.

Is it just me, or is anyone else starting to wonder about all these "sudden" deaths of young(er) people with "cause of death unknown"? Young people die of a disease, or a collision, or..something that is not not known.

@Ironworker229 @EelGM LOL!

@Jason_Bergeron I'm in Calgary, didn't feel it. It was up north.

@th3j35t3r Scary intelligent. I've often wondered why so many intelligent creatures never flipped that genetic switch, took that last evolutionary jump, looked at us and said, "We'll take it from here."

@MaSherry Herschel Walker said "This erection is about the people," and I was reminded of your "Midterm Erections" which is next on my listening list! https://anchor.fm/sherry-glaser/episodes/Midterm-Erections-e1r4dba

@PussyFootingAround Thank you for this insight! Domestic abuse. Mass shooters. I'm compelled to recognize a common denominator.
