Lot's of questions,

First you ask why post it, if they dont want their message read by others. It is posted for the self, if one is to talk you are not guaranteed an audience. However by throwing your 2 cents in, you did your part and can move on. If others can read it, then they are worthy. This is how all of communication works, the yoda effect. You can speak, others can hear, and few can understand.

Second, how is it improper use of the thorn? As it fell out of normative use, how is proper decided if there is no proper normal? It makes the th sound and it replaces the th pairing, it made enough sense to be understood. So it seems proper to me, but I am stumped at finding how it can't.

Genuinely asking as I am trying to rewrite math using the alphabet and then rewrite spelling using bagua.

Lucifer existed before but didn't become entangled with Satan until after christianity had roots. So it is a post biblical merge, but pre-biblical. The concept is older, the merge changed the focus of the concept.(69 is just number, until it becomes a joke as well.)

Satan and more properly the 'Devil' as is the main concept in modernity. This is due to the romans using this translation preferably from the Greeks. The devil then got most of their iconography from Pan and some roman art traditions. This is far more important than people realize. Anyways, all this was forming in the roman zeitgeist while Christianity was not canonical to the empire yet.

You can think cars are problem while acknowledging aspects they are necessary in. Off road on a bike is ludicrously difficult, impossible on trains or busses, and dangerous at times on foot.

Acknowledging it as the problem is a fallacy, acknowledging as a tool is important. You use the right tool for the job, not the most convenient. The issue is that we live in a society that sees vice grips as good enough for the job, and anything as a hammer. Using the right tool is important but laziness is easiest.

No one denies crime, but your narrative wishes to push that anyone would.

If anything, youd be more believable as an actual person with thoughts if you named Johnson, the city's mayor. Not the Governor. You probably assumed Chicago is the capital as you did with New York.

It's okay to be a person with no thoughts, but at least go to work and be productive. Rather than destructive and diminutive. Then again, you are but a slave to the media incapable of your own thought, actions too probably. Who knows how deep youve gone, lost little kitten.

Zionism =/= Israel

Blame the culprit. They're just morally holding the world by the balls, if most western countries are christian predominantly. They bend the knee to their great spiritual grandpapa because they're run by scared old men who cling to one last fantasy. For they have abandoned all other, even humanity and kindness.

Zionist beliefs are not great in my opinion and I take a lot of issues with it, but it is the action that makes it transcend boundaries.

Organize religion has problems, however it must be malleable to change, while headstrong in cores. Something impossibly hard to balance and the crux of most religions.

Zionism is specifically the issue when it comes to religious conversation. The genealogical aspect and nationalistic ideals are brazenly the festering issue in every country. Ego from greatness misunderstood. Christianity being pretty mainstream brought a 'everyone is invited' vibe that is just unmatched.

I care to ask how would you solve the major issues you do notice with organized religion? Scripture that condenses the eternal soul is hard to make. Daily ritual is my main thoughts but going too far into ritual removes the knowledge of why things are done. Gatherings are crucial as good and evil only exist when there are two or more.

See you misunderstood the rapture, it is but children that think the lord is god.

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left. Matthew 24:40

Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Matthew 24:41

Matthew 24:42

What lord do you know that has stripped the fields of their laborers? No regard of their ability or need to work, ungraciously taken.

God is greater than understanding.

Priests are just cthulhu cultists in modernity, preaching the end of the world so that you give up now and those in power stay in power. It's why a pious life does not lead to priesthood, only a college degree.

So few understand god that they don't even understand the sciences that formulate their beliefs. Of all creeds.

Let me modify a quote, "To believe all animals harmless would be folly. To believe none so, is something worse."

All manner of creature is variable. That which hungers shall attempt to hunt justly, that which starves shall hunt foolishly. This is to mean the threat is that which has to make drastic decisions.

That which is comfortably fearful shall let the traveler pass. That which is burdened by doubt, fear, and pain shall doubt the traveler. This is to say, the temperament of their emotions impacts the behavior. Those at a loss to something else will lash out to feel a fleeting sense of control.

All animals are capable of harm, however the animal of the wilds know it is better to let beasts slumber and pick your fights. Another day shall be won if you act without unbridled necessity, haste, or pride. The insect that stings is the insect that is killed, the lion who eats man is the lion that is hunted.

It is the comfort of living unencumbered that makes the creature insidious. Social living and the security that makes one desire more than what they have.

The difficult truth, compassion and empathy is the only way to win. In turn needing something from everyone. Not everyone understands and in doing so they take with them others.

Oh absolutely, it's power which allows laziness and comforts. In communism those in office are not the labor force ans can control the flow of money. Comfort.

Same issues arise with capitalism since money allows these sames comfort and once you're rich enough they won't let you be poor again.

You say you can't see how and then explain exactly how.

They definitely do not mean the same thing that's the same thing that happened to Nazis. They just were the biggest example of fascists on the world stage. A concept older than the Nazis. When Nazi is really more an ideology of hate wearing a façade.

The same party that is used to chastise 'socialist' beliefs when it wasn't truly socialist. Words evolve and change, it's why spreading a message is better than spreading a term. Whether or not you are right mattrrs very little when the person listening understands something different.

Help your neighbor and let them not go hungry - least we can do is spread our beliefs through our acts. I wish to raise the bottom line, and this will come at the detriment of my time, labor, and whatnot. This is why those with means would rather not sacrifice their comfort. Even when it's just money.
