    Boy do I love living surrounded by these loving christians.

    Born too late to explore the earth, borth too early to explore the stars, born just in time to have my rights taken away by belivers in a bronze age supernatural death cult.

    Fucking amazing.

        The old testament is just a riff on old Sumarian myths, so… still pretty much bronze age.

          Half of Noah’s ark is in Gilgamesh. He meets a man that the gods are punishing for doing the whole Noah thing with immortality after he crosses that underworld ocean with that giant stack of paddle sticks. Flood , dove with olive branch and all. I think he was trying to help his buddy Enkidu if I remember correctly. Poor Enkidu :( he should have stayed a beast and lived his life with the deer.

      That’s a very positive outlook that humanity will survive to explore the stars without being killed by religious fascists.

      You live in amazing times where we are inventing and learning new shit all the time. If you’re not exploring now when that exploring is relatively very safe, you wouldn’t be the one sailing off to the new world hundreds of years ago. People can be miserable or content in their own time, no matter what that time is.
