  • It’s wild what is believed in modern Christianity. I was very much dyed in the faith as a child in the nineties. Lucky for me I left that group as a young adult. I was in my thirties when I realized how cult like it was.

    I was told that there were Wiccan covens across the city and that they were our enemies.

    I was constantly told that we were fighting against principalities and powers that ruled over the world.

    My young mind was constantly vigilant for demonic activity. I guess I had a bit of a panic attack as a young adult and realized I couldn’t constantly think that way.











  • Oof, strange that this site didn’t appear when I searched “great Sorting theory” with quotes. I know the quality of Google has gone downhill, but that’s a miss.

    Also, noting that brownstone is rated as having poorly checked facts, leans far right, and libertarian policy before I go in.

    Having skimmed the article, I see that the great Sorting theory states that COVID denialists are victims of government trod on by rules intended to keep the hospitals from overflowing.

    I see stated in the article that when we make large matters of policy, we should consider our feelings over reason and science, comparing lockdown to the atrocities of Nazi Germany and stalinist Russia.

    My reply is that all decisions should be well educated and be both logically reasoned and ethically sound. Telling people that decisions should be made emotionally and that Nazis use reason sounds like emotional manipulation.
