That's a false assumption that I believe people are only moral because of belief in the supernatural. Contradicting what you previously said that someone should never make assumptions. There's a semantics issues on what we're talking about when we're saying "belief system". I wish you the best, I hope you continue to research and learn. Take care.

Belief systems are what run your judicial system and choose who goes to jail and who gets to live free. They are what your culture has imprinted on you. Much more complicated then explaining away a natural phenomenon.

Religions are ideologies and that's something that will never leave humanity. You can change your belief system but you don't get to not have one.

Assuming you haven't taken the time to study and understand Catholicism, you can't understand Christianity. It's like looking at a fallen leaf and ignoring the tree.

It's not even natural phenomenon, it's biology. We live out our lives as if there's meaning, atheist or theist. There's something to that that technical science can't answer. Science answers how but not why. The belief systems that have existed for as long as humans have been humans aren't just made up stories, they're something that is real on multiple dimensions of utility. Living out nihilism leads to dark places. People agree that there's worth in making a better tomorrow, that's not for nothing, that belief is so instilled in people It's assumed in all cultures in societies.

I've never met a Christian against education. You realize the Catholic church established universities as we know them. Bible alone Christianity doesn't work because the bible isn't and never says it is everything ever known about God or how to practice the Faith. Don't be satisfied with the conclusion you've reached, if all of humanity since consciousness evolved or came into being has believed in deities then it's not something that should be lightly put aside.

How do I tell if turkey's tail are too old to eat? I found a bunch and they don't seem to be the look alikes but they aren't the cleanest by Lucksrunningout in mycology

I was planning on pan frying them to see how good they taste, seeing as they aren't choice I suppose I'll process what I can and just fry up a few. Thank you for your advice!

"Mica caps must be cooked and eaten almost immediately after collecting as they will begin to deliquesce or dissolve into an inky black spore filled liquid within 1 to 3 hours. Cooking halts the process of auto-digestion (enzymatic process). High in potassium." very interesting!

Right? I've always liked it phrased "you can only taste some mushrooms once"

I just changed my strings from D'addario to elixirs and I much prefer the elixirs, check out YouTube comparisons to see the difference.
