Religious Text

What it would look like... If you got rid of all of the world's religious texts... And then introduced the Bible... To the people who didn't know anything about the Bible... And asked them if it "felt like God"... Is a thing that has already happened... Because there is a time that predates the Bible... And it WAS introduced to the people that existed (at that time)... And they were like... "Yeah, it does seem like there is a thing that makes people act collectively (to commit genocide sometimes) and can be cruel and arbitrary and make your existence torment (seemingly with intent) and, like, make a bunch of kids die at the same time n' stuff"... That happened... And now here we are... Now you say "Well, replicate the experiment. Wipe the board and do it again. Would it be the exact same thing?" And it's like: I don't know there might be some recurring themes. They would all boil down to the same basic proposition: "A thing" that consists (at least in some small part) of a will that is not your own makes reality occur around you and can act with intent "against" or "for" you and the nature of your existence is entirely dictated by your interaction with this thing and it can either be arbitrarily dope or horrific... or a mixture of both...

Hym "Ohohohoho... You wish to challenge the Demigod of the conceptual realm!? The first prophet of the digital age!? Very well filth pig... Ok,

you know what I always thought was stupid? I think it was Hitchens quoting somebody saying (and I'm paraphrasing) 'The only way to get someone to commit an atrocity and think it's good is by way of religion' and it's stupid because isn't not impossible... for an atrocity to have happened... Before the advent of religion... If you conceptualize an act and then commit the act, you MUST (on some level) view that act as 'Good' or at the very least justifiable. So, why would you need external validation from a God to conceptualize an act as'Good', commit the act, and maintain that the act was 'Good'? It seems backwards. Like saying pre-religious text atrocities (like killing other tribes) where conceptualized as 'Bad', acted out in spite of the fact that they were conceptualized as 'A bad thing to do', and it wasn't until somebody came along and said 'Nonono guys it's fine. There's a magical reality monster that WANTS us to do things like this so.... We're good. That's fine.' Why would anyone think committing an atrocity think they were wrong if the were willing to commit an atrocity to completion. You don't need God to commit atrocities. Monkeys commit 'atrocities' and absent of God why would they do it if not 'feeling as though they should do it in the absence of reason?' Because Monkey can't reason. Monkey only 'feel as though they should do things.' You would need a revelation AFTERWARDS. You would need to do the thing you conceptualized doing and realize that it was 'Bad'.

Text Blogging

The act of sending unsolicited texts that are not answering a question, making a request, have an obvious response, any response would seem pointless, or are otherwise considered pointless by the recipient. These are texts that serve no two-way-communication-purpose and seem to be just informing you of something that requires no further action or response.

Texter 1: I'm eating breakfast.
Texter 2: man, quit text blogging me
Texter 1: I just wanted to say I'm eating breakfast.
Texter 2: Good for you.

text-grab

A.k.a. "text-snatch" or "text-capture"; it refers to a nifty-thrifty "quick fingers" maneuver to permit da viewing of an online news-article for free when da page's host wants you to pay for da privilege of reading said content. You know da scenario --- ya start out to read an interesting write-up on some recent event or research-revelation, only to have da page abruptly go dark after a few seconds when you'd been "just getting into it", and then an impudent cheeky pop-up window appear dat heartlessly states, "Oops --- you need to have a paid subscription to read this article!" or, "We're pleased that you're enjoying our content. Pay $"X" amount to continue reading." But of course, clever penny-pinching little sneak dat you are, you --- unlike all of those naive 'n' clueless other 99% of da web-viewers --- know a "cheat code" for accessing da precious essay despite dat greedy company's disgusting coercive measure that attempts to extract funds outta ya... rather than resignedly "shelling out", you simply click da "back" arrow and then bring up da article-page again, but this time you hastily perform da "ctrl+a" key-tap to "select" (highlight) da entire article, then do a "ctrl+c" key-punch to store da page's words into memory. This way, even if da page goes dark again, you won't "lose" da words dat you were trying to read. You then open a blank "Notepad" (simple-text only) page, paste da stored words int it, and then smugly start reading.

Performing a text-grab is not only a great way to read "pay-to-view" articles for free, but it saves "wasted" money, as well, since nine times outta ten you probably find da content of said essays fairly mundane and unrelated to you or your life, anyway, and so you would probably have felt "let down" after paying to read said content, since you would feel dat you'd "spent good money for nothing" when none of da material was all dat interesting to you, after all.
