Nonduality, not 2

All resurrection gods are based on the sun cycle, from Horace to Jesus, that's why Christian holidays are the same days as the pagan ones and the ones before that.

Birth/death/resurrection corresponds to the solstices.

What is what?

As far as the son of God thing, it's interesting that the Jesus cycle coincides with the waning and waxing of the "sun". In a person's birth chart the position of the sun informs the sense of "self". But where is the boundary between self and other?

And somehow, they are referred to as "he" all the time, and so-called Bible thumpers are among the biggest objectors to "they/them" pronouns. The irony just gets deeper and darker, the harder they seem to "believe".

Ever notice gods pronouns are our/ours? Seems so conspicuously overlooked for some reason.

Is it uncomfortable in and of itself, or is resisting it, or feeling like it's bad to be identifying with it uncomfortable? Could you ever feel comfortable without the idea or possibility of discomfort? Is this thought more important than the next one?

You just heard/said it, of course you don't need to hear it, that would be redundant.

I don't think there's anything necessarily invalid about the collection of thoughts and feelings and qualities that consist of what "you" apparently identify with most closely or consistently, it's just you're not limited to them, and there isn't an actual boundary between those apparent things and all others.

Stop doing things I don't like so I can be happy.

Well, unfortunately for you, it would bring more peace to my family to have you shot into space.

Exactly. Like you. I don't want to have you executed, but Im not necessarily opposed to shooting you into space, or deep sea as a test subject to further scientific exploration and more knowledge of the world. Nobody is so shitty they can't be put to some sort of use. Seems a waste just to "waste" them.

The boat we are in includes those on death row, you're the one trying to sink it quicker.

Well, my opinion of you already couldn't get any lower before this conversation happened so, nothing gained or lost here.

Who's gonna murder the murderers who murdered the murderers? You know, so their families can have peace. And then who's gonna murder the murderers who murdered the murderers who murdered the first murderers? Who gets to decide which murders are legit and just and bringing peace to families? And how quickly can we expedite all of this? Eventually...if we just keep murdering...we'll run out if murderers? Oh wait...that won't work. So, some murderers get to live, obviously, but, how far down the chain?

So, it's not really your idea, is it? Your idea is basically "do what we already have but quicker". How long will the surplus of "room in the prison system" last before it fills right back up in your scenario do you think? Have you ever heard of a case where someone was on death row wrongfully and released decades later when the evidence of their innocence came to light? Would overlooking these cases be a worthwhile casualty in your version?

How is that "positive" "meaningful" or different from what there is now?

Have you suggested one positive meaningful solution yet? Did I miss it?

Every person in prison is a product of their environment. The only real solution is to change that environment going forward.

There aren't any murderers or rapists, really. Same options.

The assumption about "the worst of the worst" is pure concept, doesn't mean shit. Same with "power".

Pick one of the others then. England did do that already btw, that's what Australia is. Honestly they're all a lot less silly than what we have now.

Read my original list of 10 better ideas than what we currently have for violent criminals, give them one of those.

Of course not
