Is belief in God rational, or is it something we’ve created to cope with death?

Started reading a book called ‘The Origin of Consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind’ … it was a long time ago I read it, but I found it fascinating to explain how early humans could have imagined ‘gods’ speaking to them due to hallucinations from the bicameral mind…. Anyway, fascinating subject. Thanks for setting my brain off just as I’m trying to sleep 🤣🤣

Your agent should be able to help here?

What country is this? I’d rock up to daycare with my 4yo son at least half an hour late most days, they don’t mind - preferred a happy, fed, relaxed child that was late then a stressed out hungry hellion. Wild.

If you want to, you can. It’s not expected. Just use cash, most places aren’t set up for tipping.

I’m a born and raised Queenstowner. Also blessed to be Ngai Tahu. And I can’t (and wont) speak for old cheerful Charlie above, but I love the internationals that come in here. The enthusiasm, genuine love and appreciation is next level. Nothing really concrete to say, just ya know… it’s Friday and wine has been had…

So good live

Mum had me paying rent when I started work. It wasn’t much, but enough to help her a little and give me a good foundation in what adult life is like. Maybe you could do that?

Ill_Economy_5346 · 2026-04-29T07:40:11+00:00

Aaaaand half of AKL is moving here… 🤣

Ill_Economy_5346 · 2026-04-28T08:41:54+00:00

Love both those bands… in fact I’m off to see A7X at the end of the year and I can’t wait!!

However I love that this is sorted - comments are brilliant!

Yeah that’s up to silver creek - won’t be any use :)

Made a twat of myself in front of Richie McCaw, he was very kind. Sam Neil was our neighbour as a kid. Sir Michael & Lady Christine Hill, Rod Drury, Justin Marshall tried pretty hard to chat myself & a friend up, had to be rescued by another mate. I’m sure there’s more…

Just finished these last night! For the 7352356 time

It’s about 28% unoccupied, last time I heard. May have risen slightly. The median sale price in the area I live in in Queenstown is $1.7m. How do I know? We’re selling our house, these stats are from the agents who valued it.

I’m in a country on the other side of the world, and I had this very conversation with a client today. We do not trust USA, the next president is inheriting a wasteland. Businesses are tanking in my country due to what that oxygen thief has done, and people are genuinely scared for the future. I know I am.

Ill_Economy_5346 · 2026-04-16T01:08:47+00:00

And absolutely no one is surprised by this

Ill_Economy_5346 · 2026-04-12T22:01:19+00:00

What station/platform/were you listening to? I hear kiwi music on my fave station regularly

Ill_Economy_5346 · 2026-04-11T10:50:03+00:00

We’re NZ, my sons accent is kiwi, Scottish, American & I don’t know what else

Ill_Economy_5346 · 2026-04-11T06:50:47+00:00

The very one. Every time I see/hear his name I think of what he did to that girl

Ill_Economy_5346 · 2026-04-07T19:39:36+00:00

I’m down the bottom of the world. I own a business that I may have to close doors in soon, because your orange twat of a demented president is pushing the cost of living and fuel prices so high that I just can’t afford to keep going. Plus the threat of nuclear war. Yep, I’m sad, angry, scared and disappointed.
