    What’s funny is that it seems like it’s not all that misogynistic but then you realize it’s because it doesn’t consider women to be people and so doesn’t really talk about them much except for rape which was a property crime against men

      Ah yes. A collection of writings produced decades or centuries after their subjects lived, by people who weren’t there, in a language not spoken at that location and time, translated several times to languages that do not entirely cover the vocabulary or semantics of the original, by monarchs and zealots with no supervision or review. That context.

        I remember my ex’s mom would always say:

        “The only real version of the bible is the king James version. Every other version is a perversion”

        And I’m just sitting there like “wasn’t that dude born a couple thousand years after all this supposedly happened?”

          I wonder what experiments she conducted to draw that conclusion. Also why she just doesn’t learn Greek and Hebrew. If you really believed the creator of the universe wrote a book that has instructions for life wouldn’t you not risk being even slightly wrong and want to read it in the original?

    The color doesn’t matter, tabs are tabs.

    God may not be real, but slamming a 10 sheet will probably convince you otherwise.

            Yeah, I had only ever done that once and it was by accident. I was already going for a stupidly high dose but my intention was only 5 tabs, turns out they were folded in half. I was high as fuck for like two days, I stopped taking acid for a while after that not gonna lie, I learned a lot about myself on that trip so I don’t regret it but in retrospect would have never knowingly done that.

            Didn’t help that I bought those tabs as 5 tabs, not 10, so my dealer at the time thought the same thing lol.
