feeling like I'm getting close to something. this is a good place for the informed schizopost
the bible forbids non reproductive sex
casual sex is just pandering to communication addiction, merely a social co-validation
the bible calls out 7 mortal sins
social media is psychological torture that plays on 7 mortal sins of users and also their anxiety and fear
people are driven to use social media mostly by the communication addiction basically. FOMO is exactly this
the bible provides social co-validation through God and optimally maybe through community practices
this is the point where I'm feeling like there's convergence to be had
now, that's a human nature topic. this means we can look at anthropology. what do we see in ancient religions? ancestral worship, communal practices. shamans and chiefs don't get to isolate on their terms for long. if you isolated, it's either because you're under others' ritual, or you're to bring big spiritual gifts (if things fail, you're sacrificed. if things succeed, you're likely to be sacrificed anyway, but maybe later). ancient cities grew from such familial worships. isolated practice is self-ostracization, even if you're the last in the family, you're to blend in and formalize your stuff with other families, or else you're a walking taboo.
now, christianity. christianity was one of the big breakaways even before it was started to be called christianity. "we all have a common ancestor that still is and you wouldn't be able to pray on his burial grounds because that's fundamentally absurd on infinite levels". but what's the REAL selling point to people as they are in their human natures? "you can contact Him anywhere, anytime!"
definitely seems like the roman church canonization made a degenerate push to socialize the teachings and not allow "heresies" to exist. all is to be monitored.
even worse, "canon" nodes and "split" nodes all serve as defacto idols, ancestors. forest gets missed for the tree and you go to hell, do not pass, do not collect 20$. as if bible being an idol isn't enough. so much that people think if Jesus used medicine and alchemy instead of physics-bending miracles and didn't actually literally resurrect then this invalidates anything he said or anything of God. filth of no faith get the fuck out of here
