    I was indoctrinated as a child in the notion that a guy died to absolve me of sins (that I hadn’t even committed yet) so that I could live in a gated community in the sky with a bunch of annoying hypocrites. I know, right? 🙄

    I believed in a literal rapture. As a child, I was so afraid of my family disappearing in the night, I’d have to reach out and touch my sister to make sure I wasn’t alone. Once, my family was several hours late getting home from church. I was nearly hysterical by the time they got back. While I was in Bible College, my mom called to say that people in Russia had been recording strange trumpet sounds in the sky, so the rapture was probably happening soon. I was afraid if it happening before certain movies or books came out: what if I never got to finish the story because they weren’t worthy of being in heaven? Shortly before leaving the faith, I saw some videos by Rob Skiva showing how the Bible is a flat-earth book. I’d had zero science education outside of Kent Hovind’s creationist “seminars”, so I became a flat-earther for a while. I made the mistake of showing some of the videos to my mom. She’s still convinced the earth is flat and there are secret giant skeletons and parts of the earth’s crust are made of dragon scales.

    I definitely was a conservative for about 10 years after I decided I was an atheist, and looking back, it’s really weird.
    While I no longer believed in god or Christianity anymore, I still thought very much like a Christian.
    Its really only been the last couple of years where I’ve been REALLY deprogramming myself from that mindset, and now when I listen to the majority of my family talk, it kills me a little inside.

    I am one of those with winterblues. It is not the cold but the weeks with grey skies and drizzle. Some years back I got therapy for my eczema where I got placed in a cabin with UV-B lights. It was heavenly! Not only my skin cleared and it gave me an even tan but the rays of the tubes really got into my body and the result was that it felt that I just sat in the sun for a couple of hours. It was great. Unfortunately the insurance company cancelled it as a valid therapy.

Try walking in the grass in your bare feet for a week this summer, I know it works for me and yep the ground has many good things that will come into your system.

    I know you're not likely to respond to this but there are plenty of examples where people got positions that they didn't deserve because of DEI and the proof of them not deserving it? Deaths a bridge that was toted as completely feminist made by women engineers that then fell only a couple months after completion because of their incompetence. Problems with airplanes being traced to poor management by people who are hired because of DEI not meritocracy. And most recently the fire chief in LA who is not only incompetent by proof of the results that are also paired with how incompetent the mayor who is also a person of color but when challenged on whether or not she's able to drag a full grown man out of a fire she straight up blamed the man for being in a fire . . Not only is she incompetent she straight up insulted victims of her incompetence! If you want to say that DEI is a good thing You're going to need to eliminate all these bad examples that are very obvious. And these are just the ones I could remember off the top of my head I'm sure there's people who have crazy compilations of this happening not to mention I've heard plenty of stories from people who got discriminated against because they weren't lesbian black women enough who then showed their incompetence when they took the position.

      L.A. fire chief: According to the City News Service she was in the top 50 out of 16,000 taking the firefighter exam. That's not DEI
      LA Mayor: the mayor who is also a person of color but when challenged on whether or not she's able to drag a full grown man out of. Why would the mayor be dragging a person out of a fire? That has nothing to do with her job as mayor. You are really reaching now.

      If you'd use your brain you would know that the comment about being able to drag someone out is about the fire chief . . . Not the mayor The mayor was a side comment probably due to my formatting. You know the mayor that doesn't want to let people back into their own homes to clean up the problems who wanted to prevent people from going back to the homes for 18 months also the same mayor that made the decisions that prevented there being water available. And it's the fire chief that can't drag someone out of a building and then insulted victims of fire saying they shouldn't have been there. It's your job to save people who are in that situation. Stop being an idiot you know exactly what I'm talking about they need to pull out better defenses if they want to support DEI.

Also after quickly looking no it's owned by a university also it doesn't matter who owns it it matters who designed it so why the heck are you bringing that up almost like you are intentionally being dishonest. It was very obvious who I was talking about when referring to dragging someone out of a building and you intentionally misconstrued that and then you quoted that a bridge was owned by men but guess what owning something doesn't mean you designed the thing meaning it's not your fault that it collapsed it's the ones who designed it. Also I'm not sure if that's the bridge that I'm referring to anyway. Sounds about right for the time period though. It was touted as a feminist victory until it collapsed .

      You are still wrong the school is FIU (Florida International University) and they didn't own the bridge it was just going up on their campus. Secondly the collapse wasn't due to the female engineers it was the fault of the 5 male owners. The bridge was designed to be used in conjunction with cables and a center support column, those things were supposed to be supplied by the owners of the company.
      The FIU foot bridge was designed to be supported from above by a system of thick steel cables (see illustration) and a reinforced concrete center support column. But the cables and the center column had not been installed before the 950 ton, 174-foot bridge was moved into place over 8th street on Saturday.
      After the collapse, MCM stated the cables were not scheduled to be installed on the bridge until 2019. The company did not explain what temporary supports were being used.
