  • it makes sense that the copies of the original are the fake ones.

    Maybe that makes the most sense to you, but if that was bulletproof logic then Islam, Buddhism and Sikhism wouldn’t even exist, since they all directly reference older faiths which they “improve upon.”

    To put it more clearly - their followers wouldn’t follow a “re-hash” religion if they believed in the rule of O.G.

    But if there’s a ‘true way’ in religion at all, then who’s to say the God wouldn’t wait until later on before revealing their faith? If humans have free will maybe the God waited to see how they would fare under their own judgement before delivering the message.

    And on Christianity-Judaism connection

    Christianity considers itself the true ‘continuation’ of the faith developed by the Hebrews, and a great deal of jews (maybe even the majority) around at the time agreed with this and got baptised.

    The Jews then faced persecution for rebelling against the roman empire, and were scattered and had their religious community sabotaged (i.e writings destroyed and centre of worship destroyed).

    So to compensate for this some rabbis introduced a new book, the Talmud, which basically lead the jewish faith in a divergent direction from where it was. Modern jews are almost as distinct from Historical Jews (~ 30AD or earlier), as modern christians are.












  • Thank you so much for the detailed answer which considers the entire scope of human history. Much insight into different cultures.

    In the 80s it was rare to see people drinking water, except for “health food nuts”. It was far more common to see soft drinks/sodas. Over the years, society has become more accepting of drinking water.

    This is very interesting to think about


  • If food were just about cold, hard, logical choices based on nutrition alone, we’d all just eat Soylent Red and Yellow.

    False.

    Yes your principle is right though. I just wonder how the society evolved to like eating sugar as the last meal of the day. Is it rooted more in hunter-gatherer lifestyle or in, say, rennaissance onwards lifestyle from after the Old World discovered sugarcane in the caribbean? I know there was an insane effort to use sugar in as many foods as possible, so as to make good on the investments into the expeditions and colonisation projects there.


  • milk-based Has it’s own natural sugars and usually comes in the form of custard (Added sugar) or ice cream (added sugar) or cream (extra fatty)

    fruit based Has it’s own natural sugars and usually comes with added sugar in the form of a pie, ice cream, jelly, jam, sugared fruit, canned fruit, et cetera

    Not only do we not eat dessert right before bedtime

    I do 😉 busy life i guess.
