  1.  @speedwagon1824  That is so wrong I'm not even sure where to begin. You must be a used Bible salesman.

  2.  @hothdog  That is what they are.

  3. Oh there was plenty of punishment let out by the old gods too.

  4. I had thought it was a solid monolith with/or a vault for the meteorite, not "just" a building.

  5.  @planespottermerijn  Herbert was definitely channeling and borrowing from Arab/Islamic culture for the Fremen. But there is very few if any correlations. They were just supposed to be an exotic culture, and Muslims fit nicely to the mid-20th century Western perspective. Don't retcon it.

  6. That is very not true. You are retconning your modern social programming to past events and literally excluding ALL Asian belief systems as not-religion when they absolutely are and provide that function.

  7. So many cults, so little time....

  8.  @OL9245  Islam reached the peak of its power and extent well before oil had any economic value. Your ignorance is showing.

  9. I also saw what he did there.

  10. Because it is late Jewish fan-fic.

  11. TLDR: Patriarchy!!! @9:05 "Only elite women wore headcoverings... because they are impractical?" That is almost surely not true. This would have been the cultural norm expectation and while lower classes might have smaller and lower quality, they would still have followed the practice. In modern societies that still wear head coverings, even workers wear them in public. Statuary and paintings of women without veils were because they were portraits or portraying a message. Not likely they were trying to depict what was common practice. Paul was just being what we call a "Boomer" today. He was a religious revolutionary, but he was still a man of a conservative culture so he carried all of the baggage of that.

  12. Interesting point. "Sorry, my bad." lol

  13. For a religion the supposedly rejects idolatry, that seems rather idolic. But it is a human nature to need physical talismans of intangible belief.

  14. Most likely. There has never been a time where people had such abundance and luxury where they could neglect, even attack, traditional social structures and create small weak fragments that center on the individual over the family/tribe/nation.

  16.  @thealmightyaku-4153  Since vegans very much want to take away others right to eat what they want, and would if they could. They are wrong about that as well.

  17. The smilie is that they are sub-human. Even a loved pet is still beneath a person in stature and importance. At least to most people besides their owners.

  18.  @starmaker75  That isn't true. At times in medieval Europe cats were hunted down and exterminated as evil. Its more accurate to say Man is not dogs (or cats) best friend.

  19.  @CrustaceanAllergyEnjoyer  I doubt God cares which direction you are oriented when you talk to It. Like many rituals in many religions, its a superstitious anachronism.

  20.  @Noam_.Menashe  Yep. That is mostly the reverence and identification with powerful predators. Why many sports teams today are named after them. Lions, tigers, bears, oh my.

  21. You missed the point and/or are ignorant. A lot of "New Age" belief systems exist mostly to sell merch because they are just "self help" schemes with a veneer of religiosity. Actual religious systems either openly reject materialism, or it is simply a mechanism to achieve their "mission". Feed the poor, spread the word, etc.

  22. lol. That boat sailed in the 80s.

  23. At times and places. Not universally.

  24. Handwave something about god magic here.

  25. Not any more than the Jewish version was or is taken literally. We consider the ancients to be less sophisticated and literal in its interpretation of myth and fable, but yet today the literal interpretation is still doctrine in all of the Abrahamic religions even though we know it is implausible. There may have been a duality to ancient religious stories, basic "fairytales" for the masses and children, with deeper symbolic meaning for the educated classes. But we may never know since much of the cultural nuance and context has been lost.

  26.  @maverick7291  Your cultural bias (lets not call it racism) is showing.

  27. If you want to make an atheist mad, remind them that their non-belief is just another belief system. I.e. a religion.

  28. @17:20 "Christian Churches don't like manifesting" Because they can't take the "middle man's cut" in tithes and offerings when the belief set becomes internalized or self-focused. ie: Narcissistic prosperity gospel.

  29. Jesus would facepalm.

  30. "God put a peacock in charge of the Earth..." That explains... so much.

  31. Black, Caspian, Red, and even entire Med Seas basins rapidly filling as rising sea level overtopped barriers are the most common attributions.

  32.  @diegotrejos5780  We simply don't know and probably can never know which/where/if a specific event originated this story. Its also likely that its just touching on the human anxiety about floods which back then would have been a existential threat for entire communities and cultural groups.

  33.  @muslimresponse103  Hardly the final. It was just the last update we got. Or more accurately a harsh interpretation of the same Abrahamic message of "could you all be nicer to each other." Obviously we need to work on that.

  34.  @maverick7291  The Arabian peninsula is a much harsher environment than the Levant so this is understandable. But hardly dumbed down.

  40. Stereotype much?

  41. @25:00 "PhilosophyTube changed format" Not to mention gender. Hard to follow that! lol Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just thought the comparison funny.

  42.  @crapwithanopinion2919  No quotes and no attribution. So, no.

  43. Did you not listen to the video before commenting?

  48. @0:50 "What did you think when I asked that question?" Clickbait?

  49.  @dreamingwolf8382  You kind of have to thread agnostism if you don't adhere to any particular brand of religion and just assume they are all separate human interpretations or theories of the nature of reality.

  50.  @wjf0ne  It makes people feel better. Like they are doing something meaningful. That is the main purpose of religion.
