Better that than the sus politics of the German Shepherd that lives a few doors down. The neighbors say he’s just lifting his paw to ask for a shake, but I see the look in eyes.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone actually have a plan after Trump and clean up? Try as he might he's not in there forever. Can we be allies again with old ones while trying to stregthen ties with new one?
7·23 hours agoWe’re going to have to de-Nazify the entire system, from the leaders to the voters. Ban them from holding office, strip their voting rights, destroy the ability for wealthy individuals or special interests to buy politicians. There’s some good ideas at the core of American democracy, but we’ve not only fucked it up, there’s other countries that have come along since our founding and are doing it better. Strip the country to its bones, salvage what worked, fix what didn’t, and toss a lot of the hubris.
Thousands of men do the same, every day, and they deserve recognition even if they neither want it or get it. Humanity can’t comprehend its own mass, so the occasional exceptional member becomes the focus of attention. This mission is plagued by the politics of American exceptionalism, “been there, done that”, and its own problems. Despite our advances and technology and Hollywood, still isn’t that easy to send a human around the moon.

I think that the nature of Lemmy attracts people who are drawn to seek out new experiences and alternative lifestyles, so it’s less that psychs are widely popular and more this community has a higher percentage of users. That said, I don’t know anybody that does acid on the regular anymore, it was pretty uncommon when I was a teen, and the people who I know who like to trip (usually hippies, ravers, and punks) are typically doing shrooms. Might also be because I live in shroom country so they’re easy to find and cheap if you have to buy them. Gotta say, a few days in the middle of the backcountry with a dose it nice, I can’t imagine doing it and going to the bar on a weekend.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When did Jesus become a christian?
3·3 days agoNo, he’s correct. Jesus directly referenced what we know as Easter traditions in the Bible:
“While they were eating, Jesus took a box of Peeps, and when he had given thanks, he broke them apart and gave them to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; they’re honestly not that bad.”
You bastards!
Careful making friends in the garden princess.

The heroes finds lich Jesus’ stash of nails, but only one is the true phylactery. The boldest knight smites that which he believes it to be, but nothing happens. Lich Jesus grins wickedly and incinerates the knight with a blast of unholy fire. He glances coyly at the other heroes, “He chose… poorly.”

We could bring back the elegance and pageantry of casting them off a cliff as tribute to Poseidon. Maybe ask him to cool down oceanic temperatures a little bit? Could actually work. Not because Poseidon is real, but because we’re eliminating some of the top contributors to climate change.
What if the idea that the Grail grants eternal life is a deliberate spin by the Church to turn it into a holy relic, when it’s true nature is that it is lich Jesus’ phylactery? From King Arthur to the Knights Templar, the quest for the Grail has been dedicated warriors seeking to eradicate his source of seeming eternal life. And it can only be destroyed with the weapon that destroyed his first corporeal form, the Spear of Destiny.
Can confirm. Watched a queer, middle aged former UCLA linebacker bash the shit-talking cowboy half his age’s face into a patio guardrail. There were teeth left behind as cowboy got drug off unconscious by his homies.
Someday paleontologists will discover doomer memes from the Pleistocene, the Cretaceous, the Permian, the Devonian, and the Ordovician all predicting the same thing: “this is it, the end!”.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Cedarville professor, author on Christian sexual ethics, arrested on eight sex feloniesEnglish
1·6 days agoYeah, the debate over the nature of how exactly sacrament works and what the purpose is not a singular belief in Christianity and like the Trinity is one of the things that has been debated within councils and philosophy endlessly. The Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are the main two that hold it physically becomes the body and blood of Jesus. The big Protestant churches run the gamut of “body and blood is present but it’s still bread and wine” to “present in spirit” to “this is bread and wine; the act is symbolic”. That’s also why some can substitute grape juice or water and the act is still valid.

2·6 days ago2 Peter 1:4 - “Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature,having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.”
John 17:21-23 - “that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation, circa 318–325 CE - “He became man so that we might become god.”
The concept is called theosis and is developed largely from those two verses and was further contemplated by early Catholics. Whether you become one with the godhead, like unto the godhead, or, such as in Mormonism, can literally become a god-being (though not the God) yourself varies by sect. Most agree that the communion does infer some sort of divine combining of one’s self with the god power. You can also see this concept in the idea of “invite Jesus into your heart”, or the gift of the Holy Spirit. Somehow some part of god is dwelling in you and you are a part of god.
The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space. Cold-riveted girders…with cores of pure selenium.



Yeah. Yeah… Why is making Arby’s the butt of a joke so hilarious, and why is “beef” so snicker inducing?
“Beef” 🤭
