I see burqas around the U.S. often enough they don't surprise me, are they really that uncommon in London? The first time I saw one I was in an ULTRAZONE and she was playing pinball

the democratisation of religion is p silly, full stop. God doesn't care about some random commoner anymore than god cares about the germs I crushed when I scroll-wheeled over all your posts. The bloke who fixes my shoes up isn't going to come up with some theological brilliance anytime soon.

did the zeus not trick chronos and lead the gods to overthrow the titans? why should we not expect the gods to fear us as much as their parents feared them? every child must kill its parents.

there are a few different ideas about why clothing might have developed. there is evidence of clothing from at least a hundred thousand years back. our ancestors were mostly "hairless" going back a few million years as they became long-distance runners. as various parts of the world experienced subsequent glaciation you can see why clothing would make sense. & clothing can be costume, camouflage, ritual object, status indicator, and so on. Guess what nudists it was 28 degrees today.

i think clothing was kind of like if we landed on another planet that sucked too bad to live on so we just wore our spacesuits all the time until after millennia our society was built around everybody wearing spacesuits even indoors because we developed humungous psychological complexes about not wearing our spacesuits

Well, Rhea tricked Kronos, but at any rate it doesn't mean that all children attack their parents. Remember that parricide is an awful offense that didn't even exist amongst humans until Ixion.
