Neither. It was the part of the gospels that mentioned that Jesus withdrew to lonely places outside, and that his whole ministry was outside. That got me thinking about my dependence on luxuries, and if I could survive outside
I remember seeing The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Long time ago.
I so wish I'd been raised like my parents were. My dad's dad built a farm from scratch in rural New Brunswick during the great depression.
My other Grampa built a sawmill from scratch and powered it will a stream. There were trout in it and blueberries grew wild. The last time I was there was 50 years ago. I wish they'd stayed there. Cities have proven to be bad for me.

It's just belief that causes our societies to collapse. Look at the history of the human race and all the societies they've created. They have either become dust or been conquered by some other group who believes something better.

Civilizations are built on principles. When those principles are no longer adhered to, society collapses. I'm especially speaking about those who are supposed to keep up the foundations. Oh well!
I understand the frustrations...I used to be an anarchist at heart myself!

Native American Indians are evidence of this. Who can know what the Native Indian's could have added to the human race over that last 500 year's had their culture not been compromised as it was.

But we'll never know.

Ah! But isn't the Anti-Christ something to be believed in? Think about it.

(Sorry, I thought you said Antichrist. My mistake)

Compromised? It was all but crushed!

I'm literally covered mosquito repellent, and they are still getting me.......I wonder if drinking the repellent will work better.

No, no, you don't want to do that! Lol They have a popular repellant in Canada called, "Off!" Sometime it seems more like "On!"

Why did you stop?
I lived alone, being abandoned by the church where all my friends were. I got sick. SMH
After 7 years of living alone, my son got out of jail, quit his life of crime, and we moved in together. Then I got internet.
His reputation and mine, though in our past, has continued to cause the church to shut us out. I guess we're bad for business!

Do Klingon cloaking shields work? That's all I have at the moment.
