–“I’ve been writing and thinking for Christianity for a handful of years. They are literally hung up in kindergarten and can’t graduate is the best analogy”—Ross Garrett
(this is the most common analogy I hear from everyone, even those Christians that have moved on to ‘adult’ Christianity.)
ODIN https://t.co/gadxuR4gkN
ODIN …. Mimir’s Head (Wisdom) …. …. poetry, wisdom, knowledge, AND …. Huginn and Muninn: Crows (Magic, Ears) …. …. the runic alphabet, healing, sorcery, AND …. Spear (Power) …. …. victory, war, battle, frenzy, gallows, death, AND …. Horse and Cart ??? (Royalty?, Status?) i) I suspect the eight-legged horse is two horses drawing cart (‘heavy chariot;). ii) I haven’t seen how Odin carries around Mimir’s severed head, but that sure makes him more interesting.

The Smith and The Demon – Our Oldest Folk Tale and Our First Moral Lesson: Baiting Into Hazard https://t.co/Rp2C1VBtop
THE SMITH AND THE DEMON – OUR OLDEST FOLK TALE AND OUR FIRST MORAL LESSON: BAITING INTO HAZARD According to research applying phylogenetic techniques to linguistics by folklorist Sara Graça da Silva and anthropologist Jamie Tehrani,”The Smith and the Devil” may be one of the oldest European folk tales, with the basic plot stable throughout the Indo-European speaking world from India to Scandinavia, possibly being first told in Indo-European 6,000 years ago in the Bronze Age. Our ancestors were metalworkers – and the most common name – smith – a reminder. Medieval hell evolved from the blacksmith’s forge. The oldest myth of the west is Faust (the devil and the blacksmith) The Europeans worship a sky god (nature, sun) and magic, the Semites a moon and star (astrology, heavens) Why isn’t Faust Europe and the devil Abrahamism’s false promise? In other words, why isn’t our foundational myth a warning against Abrahamism/Semitism? Because what does the demon practice? False promise, baiting into moral hazard, defended with pilpul and critique.

The Four Great Inventions https://t.co/0IENvS9kXd
The Four Great Inventions are inventions from ancient China that are celebrated in Chinese culture for their historical significance and as symbols of ancient China’s advanced science and technology. The Four Great Inventions are: CompassGunpowderPapermakingPrintingFAILURE by James Santagata
(By why did she fail? They printed wisdom literature. Conversely, Europeans printed technical literature “how to”. When they set out to see the world, they found it awful (disharmonious), when europeans set out to see the world they found it profitable. ) HISTORY Printing evolved in china from ‘taking rubbings’ of carved Confucian texts. Eventually evolving into raised letters, and then raised letters with ink. European Mechanical presses Mechanical presses as used in European printing remained unknown in East Asia. Instead, printing remained an unmechanized, laborious process with pressing the back of the paper onto the inked block by manual “rubbing” with a hand tool. In Korea, the first printing presses were introduced as late as 1881–83, while in Japan, after an early but brief interlude in the 1590s, Gutenberg’s printing press arrived in Nagasaki in 1848 on a Dutch ship.
