Low birthrates usually mean people are living longer, healthier lives thanks to medical science. But sure, Johnny thinks his quiver’s gotta be full because he doesn’t believe in medicine 😂

But when you step outside of that framework—when you stop assuming that existence is a test and start treating it as an experience—that dread loses its teeth. You're not running from hell or chasing heaven. You're just here. Alive. Right now.

And what’s wild is how that belief still dominates the emotional undertones of pop culture—even in supposedly secular media. There’s always this baked-in fear of judgment, of cosmic failure, of missing the point.

The second religion starts shaping policy, it becomes a political ideology—and at that point, it should be held to the same scrutiny, accountability, and constitutional standards as any other ruling force. That includes evidence.

Compassion isn’t weakness.
It’s resistance.
It’s the refusal to dehumanize just because it’s easy.

If your worldview needs an enemy to feel whole, maybe it’s the worldview that’s broken.

And while they hoard sameness like it’s salvation, the world is burning—climate collapse, inequality, despair—and the only thing that’s ever pulled humanity out of that mess isn’t purity. It’s empathy. It’s cooperation. It’s difference working in concert, not silence marching in step.

Not manly enough. Not straight enough. Not the right kind of white. Not rich, or useful, or obedient enough.

And the target list never ends. That's not peace. That’s a death spiral.

You’d run out of enemies. And then you'd start turning inward—splitting hairs, shrinking the circle, purifying what's already bleached beyond recognition. Because movements rooted in exclusion always eat themselves. When difference is the problem, eventually someone inside becomes “not enough.”

I also recommend 'The Kingdom, The Power and the Glory' by Tim Alberta! Thank you for the recommendation! Going to check it out now 🙌

Incantation!

Why are purple characters almost always obese—like Ursula, Grimace, Barney, and Big Al? 😂 It might trace back to Tyrian purple, a dye so rare and costly only elites could afford it, linking purple to indulgence and luxury, which evolved all the way to a thicc purple M&M.
