      Thank you for this comment. It reminds me that there is a chain of solidarity that though not yet finally linked, is very real. It runs through many different people and cultures. I hope one day the last of its links will be cinched together to form a single chain of reality, with all of its nuances intact, from the least of us to the greatest. I hope that by then the least of us and the greatest of us will be equal in our needs being met without the interference of competition and greed.
      Some Christians are like I was in the sense that they believe in a god but they do not believe that God is evil. I was wrong, they are wrong. God was neither evil nor good. God was not an entity but a construction of our own individual imaginations. The only good or evil were the individuals themselves. Some people are good in the sense that they are useful to their fellow man. In my case, most that I encountered were indifferent, inactive. A few would actually offer a hand where they could help but between the indifferent and narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths, nothing was ever accomplished. Not in my lifetime. I hope one day the good in mankind will rise up and do what is necessary to either gain or keep their freedom and properly deal with these narcissists, socios and psychos in their place permanently, as they are discovered in society: out of society, for the sake of society.
      Thanks again for reminding us that we are not alone in our individual caves. Science has heard our prayers where a non-existent god could not. Science is answering.

    That woman at the start with the invocation should take a note from her own Bible Matthew 6: 5-7.
    5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

      Likely, the one god/gawd is the Ram God Zeus Ammon. This "God" is the constellation Aries. Feel free to call him Jupiter Ammon. Remember Melchizedek? This is two words of King and Jupiter. There is also Messiah which is son of Jupiter and this is the sun in conjunction with Aries at the spring equinox. The Elohim, in the Tenach, means Ram Suns. In the Beginning (at the spring equinox) Ram "created" Heaven and Earth. Other creation myths have Goat creating Heaven and Earth.

    3) Since you claim your gawd created everything, then he created the devil.

    But if I say "religious nut", you're not thinking of a fictional character anymore. In fact, some of you are thinking of someone you saw in church last Sunday. And it's obvious. Even if you're not, realize how reasonable this assumption is - it's not a non-sequitur, you're not thinking "wait, what is he talking about?" You get the satire, it makes complete sense.

    I remember my mom dreaming about demons ready to pounce on me and we were going to fly out the window together 🙄🙄 now she’s into all this happy clappy Joyce (don’t remember her last name) Christianity brand. I told her my step dad abused me but she’s convinced that she can forgive and forget just like that brand of bs Christianity preaches. I was way too forgiving for too long, it’s what kept me in an abusive marriage for too long. I don’t know what else to say to her or what to do. It’s like talking to a brick wall.

    You forgot to bring up KISS. My grandma wasn't happy about my record, poster and magazine collection. She was sure that if I back masked it, there would be bad things. My parents were less worried. I suppose they figured that I could have found something worse. The family was Catholic so the satanic panic wasn't such a big thing. Probably like if you don't give power to the devil/satan then the devil/satan has no power over you. Sorta like Sarah in Labyrinth discovers during the final show down with Jareth.

    Just a counterpoint to the whole "no-contact dancing" thing. My mum taught primary school (P6-P7), my dad is an award-winning ballroom dancer. So when it came time to teach the kids how to dance (this was in Scotland in the Sixties; a certain amount of competency at basic dances was part of the curriculum) my mum drafted my dad in as an assistant.
    Of course, being a bunch of pre-teen boys and girls, the prevailing mood of "boys/girls are icky" was strong, so the kids would attempt to dance waltzes with a protective layer of fresh air between them. This was of course unacceptable to my parents. So my dad brought in some of his "precious" 78s (as in vinyl records), put one between the chests of each partner, and said "if you allow those to drop on the floor, they'll break, and I'll be very unhappy".
    The kids learned to dance properly, in full contact with their partners, pretty soon after that.

If Christians actually believe that it's a covert method of hiding demons in the walls of churches, why not tear down the churches and therefore eliminate the threat (or hiding place for these "demons", in this case)? In this day and age, the only possible reason I can come up with for people to devote themselves to such gullibility is either a lack of purpose in their own lives or the desire to exert control over others.
