I would counter this by saying its the biggest conspiracy theory ever loosed on mankind. Specifically engineered to control masses and cause tribalism without a single shred of hard evidence. Imo.
"Real" and "conspiracy" are in the eye of the beholder wrt religion...unless you can point me in the direction of any proof whatsoever? Ill give you until the end of time to provide a link.
Isnt it though? Maybe not so shadowy, but religion is used every single day to control humanity. Dont we see real life religious strife to this very day?
Jeez, a fella cant even believe in reptilian overlords that live in the hollow Earth without being cast into the highest level?! Whats next, the Flying Spaghetti Monster isnt real either?
I wonder why religion didnt make the list.
Imo, a nebulous low percentage chance "might" isnt a big enough motivator for a lot of people. But "seeing the result" of a "might" that came true would probably be motivational.
No problems here. I honestly miss the days when peoples opinions only carried as far as their voice could travel. My SiL is a Trump supporter and I get measurably dumber every time my wife reads me one of her sisters rants. Like Amentep, I communicate mostly through phone or text. BUT...
...if youre not already programmed into my contact list, then I dont answer. Just a phone number popping up on my screen? Better leave a voicemail (which nobody does anymore).
I really should check my mailbox for the vote by mail ballot. Since we pay everything electronically we only check the mail every 7-10 days. Or when the mail person gets exasperated because the box is full and rings my doorbell. *note to self: increase X-mas tip to carrier*
My bad, sincerely. Lately, off the top of my head, I noticed you include "US" in sweeping statements about police, closed borders between US/CA, religion, etc. so I thought you were running a joke.
EDIT: And I wasnt serious about my suggestion.
Religion doesnt exclude science. But it is a fantastically effective way to control billions of people. Btw, your "all US" schtick will probably work better on Reddit.
EDIT: Nevermind, GD on the hook.
The only game thats even flickering on my radar is BG3. I dont know anything about 5E, and I didnt like DoS, but the Elder Brain instructs me to buy it on release.
I am disappoint that they didnt superimpose Biden on the planet, arms wide, posed like Christ the Redeemer. Truly a missed opportunity to reel in the religious folk.
If I were wearing something like that Id be more worried about situational awareness. It needs a HUD and 360 degree camera on the top or something. Maybe some side mirrors?
