[ale] [OT] rant - decadence in society - DRM

[Lightner, Jeff]

So you're implying it was NOT Elvis I saw talking to Sasquatch on that
flying saucer during my abduction?

I taught my children that if they hear voices that others around them
don't hear to seek professional psychiatric care immediately.  I also
taught them their time on this rock is limited and how people remember
you is your afterlife reward or punishment.
Additionally, I taught them there's no evidence to support the existence
of ghosts,  witchcraft or demonic possession and that people who believe
in that garbage are simpletons at best and psychotic and dangerous at
worst.
Within this framework they demonstrate a profound empathy for all other
living creatures and a strong desire to go through life causing the
least harm they can. They can also reason their way through complicated
decisions by analyzing the real data and making an informed choice
without the need for mysticism or magic or other psychological deviation
that prohibits individual growth through knowledge of the world around
them.

Several people advised against pursuing the religion topic when it came
up. I bit my tongue until it bled. But people insisted on professing
their religous bias anyway. So the door has been kicked off the hinges.
When this heats up too much, I'll turn off the list for a day or so to
give people time to cool down.
