At least this time #Bezos bucked a #government official, #rfkjr, & promoted #measles #vaccination.

Or maybe he wasn't looking.

Either way this is serious & we all need to be vigilant since the #usgovernment is not.

#getvaccinated for you, for someone you love or maybe just someone you've never met.

Dear #MAGA folk asking #wwjd. He'd get vaccinated & #isolate if exposed to protect "the least of these". You should too. What? Jesus wouldn't get sick causes he's God? You're not God.

"His mission is to eradicate '#WokeJesus'": How money, lies and religion are abused to gut #democracy

Journalist Katherine Stewart's "Money, Lies, and God" takes readers into Trump's movement to end America

"Money, God and lies: These are the three pillars of the movement that led to Donald Trump's disturbing victory in November. A well-funded #propaganda machine that exploits people's cultural #fears and spiritual yearnings, turning them away from their economic self-interests and toward an #authoritarian movement to end democracy. Katherine Stewart spent months traveling and researching the various people — from far-right priests to atheist #billionaires — who have come together to #bamboozle millions of Americans into backing a political movement that wants to take away their rights and safety.

"In her new book 'Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy,' Stewart offers a grounds-eye view of the machine that led so many Americans to vote against themselves and their democracy. She spoke with Salon about her experiences and how it is that disinformation has gotten its hooks into so many Americans."

My youngest, who died of non-#COVID natural causes, was a #Satanist. He didn't sacrifice animals or anything. He just thought that #god was acting like some modern-day #Christians who ask, "What would #Jesus do?" #WWJD and then, when someone does it, is all. "Not Like That!" God gives everyone #FreeWill, and when #LucIfer dares to actually /use/ it...

My view on the topic of #god and #religion:

The existence of #evil demonstrates that the omni-omni god(s) cannot exist.

I love how philosophers describe it as, "The Problem of evil." I mean, yes, evil is a problem, but not for the reasons they say it is.

The existence of god(s) is metaphorical. In coding, god(s) would be the #else condition. Anything that is not known, understood, and explainable by a person, or people as a whole, can be explained by postulating god(s). Because people want to know #Why. And asking why starts as soon as a child can communicate.

It's like how the #Greeks had to answer why #planets appear to sometimes move beckwards. They didn't know (and couldn't know) the real reason for retrograde motion because they were absolutely certain that the planets orbited around Earth. They invented epicycles, little circles planets made that caused them to appear to be going backwards. God(s) get invented the same way.

Which is why there is often #religious tension around #science. Because science is a #system for figuring things out, it sometimes figures out that previous answers for Why questions turn out to be wrong. This why Galileo was tortured. He publicly stated that the Greeks were wrong about retrograde motion.

#Religion happens when a person/group leverages collective #ignorance for personal/group gain.
