  • I’ll explain the logic as I understand it, but that’s it. I was posting for the rule and this was in my memes folder. I’ve had many religion debates and find that no one is ever satisfied on either side and everyone ends up with hard feelings. I’m not here to piss people off. That’s not my nature.

    The logic used by the author of the meme is that god doesn’t exist and that it is a made up concept to get people to behave.

    Humans want crows to behave a certain way so they made scarecrows.

    Humans want other people to behave a certain way so they made god. The meme suggests that the god concept is a behavior modifier. There are no crops.





  • Agreed. There is a snobbery to Apple.

    They (my inlaws) are all on apple and they get these $2k+ Macs and they do less on them than I do on my non-apple laptop that I got refurbished for a few hundred, but I get a definite sense from them that non-apple products are beneath them.

    One of the older family members sends emails and occasionally looks something up online. She often has to hunt down her Mac because she hasn’t used it in a couple of weeks. When she needed to replace it, I suggested something like mine and she got quiet and changed the subject. The next week she was telling me about her new Mac. It cost a fortune, but she didn’t tell me that, to her credit.

    They all have iPhones too as if anything less would mean they were in a slightly lower class. I love them or I’d tell them to pound sand.

    The person who downvoted you hasn’t experienced this snobbery. It exists though.




  • When you make a post, the top line where you can put a url has a small image icon under and to the left of it. You can put your image there and it’ll show up on the main page without having to click through. I just learned this a couple of days ago when someone pointed it out to me. I was doing it like you are now.

    But I’m not the boss of you. Do what you want.
