From Amazon:

they were violent, ruthless, and fundamentally intolerant.

this new ideology stated not only that it was the way, the truth, and the light but that, by extension, every single other way was wrong and had to be destroyed.

Holy shit, I'm ordering it now. And it completely makes sense because Paul was a violent asshole who killed people and he was their first major champion (with James trying to clean up the mess).

Downloading now, about to watch. In a different part of the thread, I praised a book (and got the title wrong), How Jesus Became God. Because he wasn't god, he was the messiah, you dumb christian idiots. Whooo.

No dear, people who hear voices in their head need medical treatment, do not try to look at their lives for guidance about important issues in your own life.

Ha, so true. Or, if you're in the times when this was not understood, call them a witch and stone them!

I've read three of his books. Well, two and a half. The one on how stories change over time wasn't interesting to me because I already accepted that.

As I recall, How Jesus Became God was good.

Nah, I've really enjoyed finding out how far removed from their faith christians in the USA have become. And, as mentioned, I'm a history nerd. This is my jam.

I got what should have been my dream job. I hated it and I was so depressed that I contemplated suicide. True story.

I used to wrestle my kitty when she was itty bitty (had to stop, got too pointy) and I noticed her pupils would dilate about a quarter second before she’d pounce. So that’s also in the calibration program.

I rejected the christ story around age 8. I told my mother that it seemed like a fairy tale. She got pretty upset.

I'm a history nerd, so maybe this won't apply to you. But learning about the early stages of christianity has been a lot of fun for nearly two years. Who'd have thought, right?

If you enjoy reading and learning and you dislike the hold that religion has on society, you might enjoy learning about the earliest stages of the church. There's so much material. The starter that I'll recommend is The Passover Plot. I've become way more radical after this, but I think this might be a good bridge for readers who are beginning their exploration. Hope you enjoy!

I couldn't figure out how to upload the video without getting an error (I just woke up). Here's a link to someone else sharing it.

45-hour voyage in replica canoe tests Paleolithic migration theory (arstechnica.com)

Thinking about the Out of Africa phase of human migration always interests me. One thing that must be considered, relative to this experiment, is that our ancestors wouldn’t initially have know that there was any land to reach at the end of their voyage. What drove them to paddle into nothingness (if this was an accurate representation of how they traveled)? Fascinating stuff.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2023) [trailer] (www.youtube.com)
 

I saw this in a theater when it came out. I recently recommended it to a friend who really enjoyed it. Something made me think of it this morning so I thought I'd promote it to people who probably never heard about it.

Until now, we only had fragments of these cousins. Now we have face. Studying our evolutionary development and our sister-species is one of my favorite aspects of archeology. We’re constantly developing new information.

Side note: look up the initial presentation of Homo naledi. The leading archeologist did a phenomenal talk a couple of years ago (I think in December). It was really an exciting presentation. But I’m also pretty nerdy.
