  • I’ve been looking but search engines are so bad now. I know it’s from an article / essay and might even know the name (David Gutierrez? Kelly Lytle Hernandez?) of the author.

    Years ago I found more useful sources. Academics, old news with their own info to offer. Now it’s just the same things over and over.

    Did you know Trump mentioned this during his campaign? I didn’t. But it’s all I can find on Google and DDG. Trump promising to bring it back. The same info rehashed over and over. It’s frustrating knowing exactly what I’m looking for and getting nowhere.

    Can’t even find anything about the INS holding a contest for the name.











  • Just curious, has everyone caught up yet? As in, have we realized and internalized that religious people don’t believe in god or heaven or anything like that?

    Because just look at at-risk individuals and think about how certain contexts can shape numerous people.

    Look at trauma and how it affects the psyche.

    Look at how humans living in extraordinary environments radically change their behavior.

    And then notice how you can’t detect any “god” or “afterlife” in a Christians psyche, or their behavior, or their flock. Just people acting similarly to everyone else, except we don’t pretend to have “the answer to life is god” and “being bad means burning in hell for infinity.” It’s so god damn obvious but to be fair it took around 30 years for me to “grok” that Christians are operating entirely on aesthetics.
