Here's a Bible passage I'd like to share with you...
“So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:34 NET

Re: More evidence that religious threads make you dum
honest question:
with all the religions that have existed throughout human history, do think yours is the true or correct one?
why or why not?
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Reminds me of this quote by Seneca, the Stoic philosopher who was a contemporary of Jesus:
“He who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.”
Bonus content:
My other favorite quote by Seneca:
"It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor."
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Re: More evidence that religious threads make you dum
for the sake of this thread tho, this Seneca quote might fit better:
“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.”

Reading from Proverbs and Psalms can be a path to personal growth, enhance your intellectual understanding and lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life. I agree that SOME (not all) verses are ridiculous.
Reading Proverbs is good for practical wisdom and advice.

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/th ... textThough the terms "Bible" and "Old Testament" are commonly used by non-Jews to describe Judaism's scriptures, the appropriate term is "Tanach," which is derived as an acronym from the Hebrew letters of its three components: Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim.
Interesting, that the Torah consists of some Old Testament scriptures.

Interesting Quranic verse know as the “Throne Verse “
Al-Suyuti narrates that a man from humanity and a man from the jinn met. Whereupon, as means of reward for defeating the jinn in a wrestling match, the jinn teaches a Quranic verses that if recited, no devil (šayṭān) will enter the man's house with him, which is the "Throne Verse".[8]
