    spare me the monologue from S1E1 of Girls. No, its not a good thing that a massive corporation can make cardboard food similar across a global supply chain.

    It’s wasteful, decadent, corpo-simp trash thats bad for the individual, the society and the ecosystem.

    And it’s not even pleasant food. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it - but like enjoying b-movies, or bad music, or silly clothing… you’re not enjoying it because it’s good.








  • I’d be willing to bet the amount of people - believers or not - who have devoted significant study to the Bible understanding its context, translation difficulties, relevance to the epoch at the time it was written (and the time it was “set”), and it’s journey between Judaism and modern Christianity, how it has changed over the various schisms and decrees AND has a solid grip on the ecumenical questions, conventions, devices, rituals… (e.g. “What colors should a priest wear on January 6th and why?”) are few and far between.

    It’s a massive text with a huge amount packed into every line. Atheist or no, anyone claiming to understand the Bible without doctorate level study is lying.
