So if the evolution of faith is good or bad, how do the incredibly flawed humans of your particular brand of belief figure out what's right? Accident of birth as the overwhelmingly majority of humans 'discover' their faith.

I mean this as a good faith question, so to speak. If faith can go down the wrong path and all evolution of various shared beliefs isn't created equal, what is the 'right' one?

By your own belief, we cannot know the mind of Yahweh, God, Allah, etc. So how do you know you picked the right one?

    But the Canaanite god the OT totally borrowed (Yahweh or YHWH as the former naming is a sin) was a married man. His wife was Asherah.

    You can whip all all the syncretic bullshit you like, but the OG was a dude who like fighting and lightning. And pussy.

    Realize that we're talking apples and oranges here (PC monitor vs TV). I was responding to someone about their invasive TV practices.

    I'm lazy and curmudgeonly on my PC, so it's running an IoT version of Windows 10 LTSC. No such shenanigans here. For now.

    I don't know how I feel about it.

    I probably game too much, even as an elderly old man. I still call myself a gamer AND want Steve Bannon and all his diet nazis to die in the most humiliating and embarrassing way possible... crushed by frozen poop falling from a plane sounds fun.

    This is what nazis do. Take good or innocuous things and pervert them. All they do is destroy.

    I'll still keep calling myself a gamer while respecting your desire to distance yourself from scum.
