I've always wondered about this. How did it ever occur to advanced monkey people to come up with this two-wheeled butt-hauling device?

One problem with Genesis being an allegory I have is how extremely typical the cosmology and cosmogony is in an iron age Near Eastern context.

The Greeks, Canaanites, Babylonians all believed the Earth was a flat disk sitting in water, covered by a metallic or stone dome.
http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/ngier/gre13.htm

The creation account in Genesis and Enuma Elish have almost the same chronology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panbabylonism#Creation_myths

It's like if a thousand years from now the big bang turned out to be wrong and people started saying we meant it as an allegory.

Fuck off. Genesis 1 is contradictory with Genesis 2, therefore the Bible is automatically disregarded as factual.

It actually isn't, as long as you start with the premise that Adam is only supposed to be the ultimate progenitor of the Hebrew people (because who cares about anyone else, right?), and not of mankind in general.

Which, admittedly, isn't what mainstream Abrahamic religions have done since, but there's really nothing in the original texts that the proto-Jewish polytheists were using that indicates that they thought that Adam was the forefather of the entire world.

It's basically overriding instinct, using your brain to overpower itself, being so focused you ignore the pain

Think about meditation practices. Idk if you've ever tried it, but you start to think to yourself "why am I sitting here, staring at a wall, just breathing/repeating a mantra?"

or if you're familiar with Wim Hof, it's possible to phase out the pain of coldness/freezing using breathing (to raise your core body temperature) and meditation (psychological component)

Don't be rude, anon.

Is it possible that Psychopaths and all mental illness with ill intentions are natural? Like they are the wolves to us dogs, and that human nature at its core is meant to do harm?

What if we as a species evolved and domesticated ourselves into dogs, leaving our wolf ancestry behind, and all these people with bad intentions have prominent wolf genes which should explain their predation?

Animals are made to hunt and eat, it's amazing that nature even manages to turn savage killers like wolves into nurturing parents that are higher on the food chain than perfected killing machines like snakes.
>>
>>2388279
Of course they are, psychological pathologies are natural as fuck.
But what you understand under the term "psychopath" is not someone who wants harm people all day, the psychopaths you are talking about try to do anything to reach their goals and they don't give a fuck if someone gets harmed by their attempt of reaching that goal.

so lay people can't know the text of the bible, only what you tell them

interestingly there are many surviving medieval bible plays that were based on stories from non-canonical gospels, like the story of jesus as a boy bringing clay birds to life from the gospel of thomas

Step one, grow a mustache. This is very important.

Step two, throw a bomb in a crowded marketplace

Step three, be arrested by the police and die in your cell, suicide optional.

Siam is probably the stand-out, but the whole region is better seen as a single culture-area rather than a series of geographically limited states.

I never got why people get butthurt or caught up in the mysticism of Christianity.

Fucking Mewtwo understands it better. The circumstancesof Jesus' birth are irrelevant. We are all the children of God. With his life, he chose to teach people to love and be kind to one another and die for that belief.

Shitty people just twist everything. The Bible is historical fiction and should ot be taken literally in most cases. It is like most stories, it teaches moral/life lessons
