u/Christopretensism

What's old? 100 years? 1000? How about a million? Is 70-80 years really that old? I'm only becoming 30 now and honestly I remember two decades ago like it was yesterday.

I could theoretically plan 1000 years from now. My foresight outlives my lifespan.

Death is a curse but also a blessing because the world is so broken and full of evil that dying means no more financial stress, no more political problems, no more worrying about people and employment and air pollution and what else?

God reveals that the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life is available to all who love God.

If you want the secular perspective, you are going to die and stop existing.

I don't personally believe in the secular perspective because I believe everything happens for a reason and our reason to exist doesn't stop at 70 or 80 years. 70 or 80 years is nothing, and that's if we even survive that long.

If we stopped existing then everything happens for no reason which means the universe exists for no reason and if that's the case why did reason happen or did it ever happen?

God is the source of reason and therefore if everything happens for a reason then we and creation happened for a reason and there is no reason for death because why would God create life and the world just for it to end shortly after? It does not make sense, even as humans we don't build buildings to destroy them the next decade, we intend for them to be permanent.

Death is absurd and so is the human lifespan today.

I wish you many happy birthdays but we all know birthdays are a countdown to the grave so knowing that I am 30 years closer to death soon. If I am destined to live to 80 I have 50 more years, if 70 then 40. Remember that healthspan is even shorter than lifespan so being old a wrinkley without stamina for 10 or 20+ years before I die means my quality of life span is probably 20-25 more years before I begin declining into the grave.

This is so absurd. Life is truly so short but life is long enough to taste it and long enough to form.our character and decide who we want to be and if we care about God.

Life is just long enough to choose between Altruism and Egoism, between God and self, between collectivism or individualism.

Life is long enough to live our morality or lack there of and perhaps that's the purpose of this life.

After death if we chose hedonism we are condemned and if we chose Altruism we are blessed.

So soon I will be 27 and then 30, it is a milestone but also a warning as to the short time I have remaining on this earth. The next 50+ years will fly away and a lot can happen between then and now but that's because the world moves fast not because life isn't short.

One thing I will say is I have seen too much evil and suffering in my time on Earth so I look forward to seeing the end of human history which is the second coming of Christ but what will happen before he comes will be so horrifying so it's not like things will get gradually better in the world but instead God will end it when it gets bad enough.

And is it getting bad enough? I mean things were never great but they're definitely not better now than when I was a teenager.

So death is the future, plan for it.

I am not saying that nursing is not inevitably in high demand since there are things we can't control like the fact that our bodies deteriorate as we get older, however, I think there would be a lot less demand if we lived in a healthier environment and ate better food and lived a healthier lifestyle. American life is very sedentary because it is so car centric and it is also not a country where people eat a good diet. We also have air pollution from deregulation in many areas.

I think it's absurd how much people rely on the healthcare system in this country. If you are between age 15 and 35 you shouldn't have to visit the doctor more than at most once a year. You are in your most biologically stable prime years. The doctor is for really young people and really old people and those who by reason of misfortune inherited a chronic condition, however, the vast majority of people should not be needed to visit the doctor regularly and the fact that they do means something is very wrong with their lives and the society they live in and that is reflected in how in demand nursing jobs are and how bloated the medical field is because everyone is sick even in their best most biologically stable years of their life.

I used Chat GPT to make the website an app for convenience. The android APK file is not published but I can send it to you if interested.

My original motivation for getting off Google maps is political. I could not accept that they renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America so I found an open source alternative map website but I want it as an app.

No more gulf of America for me. It works just fine as an app although the convenience of voice navigation and some GPS and pin location features could be lacking.

It is a very usable map. I think the fact that corporations can just leverage maps for propaganda without the ability to opt out was a warning call for the need to be less reliant on their services.

Redheads lack melanin which is why they are pale and the red is revealed because they do not make brown melanin so the hidden and incorrect orange pheomelanin is what remains.

Pheomelanin is oxidative and harmful unlike Eumelanin which offers real protective qualities.

Redheads have a pigmentation issue but how does it feel having it?

Mainstream media was willing to shill for the left on abortion, LGBTQ+ and even on sexualization but the left crossed a forbidden red line when they began to oppose Lucrumism and Zionism. Mainstream media was always controlled opposition and now that the opposition went out of control it has now become your formal enemy.

Lesson learned: Mainstream media will always support you for your sins. Abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism etc. Mainstream corporate media is with you but never criticize the money and the devotion to Zionism and imperialism if you want to stay on their good side.

Mainstream media called Christians like myself right wing extremists and did all your dirty work for you exclusively on social issues but as soon as the left starts talking about money all of a sudden mainstream media starts singing a different tune. They are now allying with the right because the left is going after their money.

If you want mainstream media to like you again be pro-lucrumism/capitalism and be liberal but just on social issues, don't cross the line into money and class politics just keep it socially based. Abortion, LGBT+, immigration and all that stuff mainstream media has your back but leave their money and imperialism alone.

And to the right I also have something to say. Start going after their money instead of befriending them and accepting this new relationship of convenience. Mainstream media does not care about pro-life or family values, they just want us for the money. The media is often described as neocon for a reason.

But mainstream media was on the leftist side in calling us conspiracy theorists and right wing extremists because we don't believe men belong in women's spaces.

I'm completely done with USA politics, both sides are disturbing but I am primarily allied with the right now but I also champion certain progressive causes that don't conflict with my Christian faith.

All I am saying is that mainstream media is the enemy of the people because it serves money and imperial interests and neither the left or the right should ally with them.

I am taking it as an elective because I really enjoy the topic and I create a lot of neologisms and I began working on a constructed language but the reason I paused working on it is because I realized I don't know how to make it practical for people to want to use and learn. Everything I do has a purpose and I am a man of few real hobbies. I don't know how to market my language in a way that would get people to want to learn and use it so I paused development on it but the ambition is still there. I have created a lot of neologisms the most popular one being christopretensism which I project will have increased use by the end of the year especially with all that's going on in US politics.

Language is fascinating to me, I embrace the fact that I am bilingual but I am not satisfied, I want to learn more languages but I want to learn them mostly because I want to develop my schema of what the nature of language is by expanding my knowledge of how languages work by learning more of them since no two languages work the same.

I'm also religious so learning Greek, Latin and Hebrew and perhaps a couple other languages that are traditionally associated with theosophy is of great interest to me personally.

And people are still fighting about the cost of public transportation or bike lanes and sidewalks but they're willing to pay this much for useless trucks.

I do not want to give up Linux. I bought it to be my school and personal computer for a reason. I wonder if taking the class in person can help reduce demand for the proprietary OS specific software.

If I do need a windows device what's the cheapest one I can get just to satisfy assignment requirements rather than it becoming my all purpose computer?

It is interdisciplinary, it avoids abstract theoretical math and I say that as someone who linguistically and philosophically thinks abstract but I just can't with math and it is flexible in what you can do with it.

If you are doing a business major, there are so many useful electives you can supplement it with since it's so interdisciplinary that few will truly be unrelated to your major.

I am planning on double majoring in English and business with some computer science and math electives and miscellaneous electives.

Buissness administration seems to be the correct dose of math, logic, creativity and philosophy for me and I hope it is employable as well.

Other majors I looked at were either beyond and above what I am comfortable mastering like some of the STEM degrees that have the calculus sequence and other degrees I would do in a perfect world but they are not employable enough. Buissness seems to merge it all together in the perfect balance and harmony.

I would rather take statistics, finite mathematics and Buissness calculus over Calculus 1, 2 and 3 when I couldn't even pass my pre-Calculus class because I can't do factoring and polynomials.

pre-Calculus was trying the ugliest math I have seen to date with fractions within fractions within square root fractions. I can't comprehend what that math is modeling in the natural world. I like my math practical and intuitive. I want my math to be describable in word problems and not this theoretically abstract stuff that I would never use in my real life unless I was working on something so niche that somehow required it.

I don't see myself engineering satellites and launching them into space, that is above and beyond what I am cognitively comfortable doing or what I believe I'm capable of

I want math I can use today right now to better understand the world and to integrate into real world projects.

I was thinking about going to law school but that's also above and beyond me but buissness administration feels legal and technical enough.

I was thinking about engineering and computer science or Data Science but the math is too ugly.

I was thinking philosophy, linguistics, sociology but there is a big question ❓ on what I would do after graduation.

But I can easily justify taking my favorite humanities courses as electives and taking math I can actually pass with a good grade and get real practical real world life skills with a business major and yes I am entrepreneurly minded which is the glue that makes it all stuck together to make it work.

Maybe I'm too nïeve which is why I am posting this, any comments? Or suggestions? Or questions?

If Jesus was born in the USA and ran for president, claimed to be God on Earth and called his cult following the Church would it be constitutional?

If it is then why wouldn't it be if a priest ran on his behalf today and pushed his Christian agenda the same way Jesus would have himself on Earth today?

Religion is treated as mythology psychologically speaking so if that's the case would the hypothetical Jesus scenario be classified as a religion if it happened today?

The closest example of someone doing this is Donald Trump who all but claims to be God and has a cult following of his own, one could say this is a religious movement but it's not treated as such because Trump is officially recognized to be real whereas Jesus is regarded only as a subjective belief.

So the real question is, does religion stop being religion when it's proven to be real or is separation because religion and state only valid for some religions and not others?

I also want to use the Israel example, we fund Israel but we don't fund the Vatican, why? Why don't we send foreign and military aid to the Vatican?

So in conclusion, I can start my own cult/religion and run for president and officially promote my beliefs as policy but I can't already belong to an existing cult like the cult of Jesus Christ and as a Christian officially promote my beliefs as government policy.

It doesn't make sense. What is the difference between a religion and a political/Philosophical beliefs system anyways? Is it the deity that's the problem because if it is that's called state atheism.

The same is true for history, Bible History is rejected in public schools but secular history requires just as much faith to believe in and that's allowed.

There is no way you didn't lose him in one of his million scandals unless you actually like his degeneracy. For anyone with morals there are plenty of scandals to choose from as a reason to leave the cult.

I was a Trump supporter and I didn't stop being conservative but I did stop supporting Trump a couple years ago I would say since 2017 or 2018.

Hedonism is just wrong but it was destined to be the default state of a secular society.

The Altruistic faithful are made aliens in their own homelands, unable to associate and relate to hedonistic society.

The war against hedonism can only be won by religion so decreasing secularism is essential for asceticism.

In the meantime, faithful people must remember that God will not sustain a corrupt society forever and that hedonism is just a phase that will die out over time along with its adherence.

It's inevitable, get ready.

We all know how liberals look, they have septum rings, they dress a certain way and have nose piercings, some tattoos and blue or green hair or some other unnatural color.

We all see liberals, but why don't liberal politicians look like liberal voters?

Liberal politicians do not wear ripped jeans, show belly buttons, have noise piercings or tattoos, the closest we have come to a liberal politician looking liberal was John Fetterman and we all know how that turned out.

FAFO.
