Christians and hypocrisy go hand in hand. How many cross tattoos are out there? How many Christians scorn the poor, or their neighbors? It’s kind of a running joke that if you want to learn about the bible, ask an atheist. The more you read the bible, the more logical inconsistencies you find in it.
The real “value” in Christianity and the bible in general is that the masses can outsource their morals and ethics to some external thing without having to think too deeply. (Because who wants to think for themselves? That’s a lot of work!)
I know this was supposed to be a little jab, but look back at writings by the founding fathers from that time. They were clearly well-reasoned, and at least TRIED to make a long-lasting republic. The USA wasn’t just slapped together randomly – they had a real plan and an architecture. If anything, it’s impressive how long it took to degrade the place.
A great example is George Washington’s opinion on getting involved in wars on foreign soil. Well, we might not call it “war” anymore, but we sure as shit have troops overseas at all times. I’m pretty sure the founding fathers never intended us to be the world police in this way.
Haha!!! Sadly, I think our domestic stupidity is more than adequate to explain the situation. I’d love to blame the boogyman here, but let’s face it – we’re #1 in stupidity and self-owns.
A long sequence of zeros compresses really well :)
Here’s what you can do with your impressive 64 GB of RAM:
Store approximately 8.1 quintillion (that’s 8,100,000,000,000,000) zeros! Yes, that’s right, an endless ocean of nothingness that will surely bring balance to the universe.
A system run by the government where we all contribute? Sounds like COMMUNISM! No thanks, I’d rather pay my $8,000/mo insurance bill like a REAL MAN. Suffering builds character.
