    Plenty of people swim with bullsharks and hand feed them. Sharks are dangerous when you act like easy prey. Easy prey bleeds, it struggles, and it turns away from the predator to flee. That white shark didn’t bite Valerie Taylor because there was easier food, and she was aware of the shark.

    Check the link for what happens when you act like prey around these animals. (Trigger warning : shark attack, if it wasn’t obvious)

  • The evangelical movement’s outsized influence in the US is rooted in the Republican’s “southern strategy” to make a big umbrella of the fringiest racist, chauvinist and fundamentalists, and use them to elect shitty hate-bait politicians.

    They aren’t actually powerful, someone just handed them a really big megaphone.





  • Ah yes, because changes in the interpretation of the word of God by mere mortals is different from changing the word of God.

    Those weren’t “days” per se, it’s more like undefined segments of time. Humans weren’t literally made of of clay, it’s just a stand-in for god’s brainstorming putty.

    Ooh ooh, my turn! God made us in his image, but he doesn’t actually have a dick and balls, or even a real form, but he is definitely a ‘he’ despite not having a biologically defined sex, so God created individually selected pronouns and put them in his bio.

    Do you see how all this is absolutely absurd? I just changed the meaning of the “literal word of God” and my reasoning is a concrete as any other interpertation, it simply lacks consensus, (which is not a proof BTW). The idea that mortals can re-write the literal meaning and intent of a omnipotent deity is more absurd than stating that we aren’t really sure where electicty comes from.
