Critical thinking isn’t anti-religion. Religion is anti-critical thinking.

WA resident here, raised in AK. The healthcare here is pretty a.azing. my medicaid pays for all surgeries, procedures, even hair removal!
We also have some good laws like how demanding to know what kind of genitals a trans person has is something that you can call the cops about.
I came here to mention Japan’s “Asia for Asians” campaign in the early 1900s. Glad to see I’m not the only history nerd commenting on this post!
Alt-J An awesome wave - it really is considered as a whole in its creation. There are interludes, dips & swells in the energy, and a whole journey of sonically related songs which keep introducing new variations and sounds.
Sufjan Stevens the BQE - another album that really should be enjoyed as a whole journey, it follows the daily commute of so many along the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in NYC. It wanders from orchestral to electronic noise, and is a wonderful album to put on for a slow Sunday morning.
I love complicated orchestrations that aren’t too angry (My Brightest Diamond, Shugo Tokumaru, Sufjan Stevens, Bjork). Any suggestions?
Most jobs work that way. A job has a set pay, and you can get fired or promoted. Tipping is unusual: A janitor doesnt get paid a different amount each paycheck because of how clean others feel it is this week. Cashiers who help you find things in the store don’t make more that day.
We needed SOME good news from the courts after SCOTUS once again handed down more ridiculous BS.
I disclosed being trans to more neighbors and relatives, but stayed at home for all pride events. I don’t feel safe…
Ooh! Looking forward to it. I hope he wrote songs about his anxiety & struggles that he’s spoken about more in interviews more recently.
Hot Tuna totally slaps, check them out!
Hot Tuna’s Yellow Fever would be one of my favorite covers in our collection. Though there are so many good ones…
Hell yeah! Shared.
…an appeals court ruled that CIMA, the acronym for the nonprofit that runs the park for the Peruvian government and administers the carbon credit project, had been improperly added as a co-defendant in the case. The appeals court threw out the ruling and with it the benefits ordered for the tribe, citing “the presence of insurmountable defects both in due process and in the motivation of the judicial decision."
What a ridiculous reason to throw out a ruling.
Most religions specifically dissuade people from thinking critically. I recall my time in my Jesuit high school, where any questioning of the tenets were frowned upon.
The basic concept of faith is to accept something which can’t be proven. It is antithetical to critical thought.
I have spent years learning about religions of the world, as I recover from my religious trauma. There are very few which truly encourage critical thought.
