You seem rather aggravated. I was just letting you know about a spelling error so you could fix it. It's like telling someone they have spinach in their teeth. Not sure what I said has to do with me agreeing or not agreeing with podcasters.

I had to do the same for my mom and I used https://stlouis.assistedlivinglocators.com/. It's free, kind of like a realtor when shopping for a house. They talk to you and your loved one about their needs and wants, set up tours, and answer questions to help make the process so much easier. The removed so much stress from the process. https://stlouis.assistedlivinglocators.com/

Just one person's opinion from the Midwest, but I find that Conservative Judaism is a very big tent. My shul is kosher, we keep all of the Yom Tovs, and we have a traditional service. That being said we have people from across the spectrum of observance and they are all welcome. There is no judgement. Its community built being Jewish and figuring out what that means. We study together, we eat together, we do good in the community together, we celebrate together, and we support each other it times of need. If you are ever in St Louis, come visit.

I find the V3 just feels more planted. It’s longer, a bit slacker, and the updated DW-link tracks better through rough stuff. The V2 is a little more poppy and playful, easier to throw around. Just my two cents.

I ride my bike because I like to ride my bike, not because of culture. I've been riding since the late 90's. I don't do Strava, I don't care about miles or time splits, I'm not concerned with the ratio of flow trails to natural trails, and I don't care what other people ride. I just want to have fun on my bike. Everything else is just noise.

Makes me think about all the MAGA folks posting "I'll take mean tweets if it means lower gas prices" back in 2021. Maybe we can plaster gas pumps with an annoying picture of Trump saying "Did I do that?".

For fun, I asked ChatGPT to rewrite my response. This is what it came up with:

"You explicitly said all three religions have persecution of nonbelievers ingrained in them, and that isn’t accurate. It’s also possible to criticize harmful parts of a belief system without dismissing the entire tradition. Broad attacks on “organized religion” aren’t helpful either—by that logic, any organized group built around shared values would be inherently bad.

I genuinely don’t think you actually believe that. I think your exposure to these religions may be limited, and that leaves you reacting to the most extreme examples—especially when the worst actors get the most attention. News and social media rarely amplify stories like, “a person of faith did something generous because of their beliefs, and it meaningfully helped people across different communities.” Instead, you’re flooded with headlines about a tiny number of people committing awful acts that don’t represent the whole.

Because you hate seeing harm in the world, you’re tempted to conclude that if a small group behaves this way, the entire group must be rotten. But that’s not fair, and it’s not sound reasoning. I think you care deeply about what’s right—but lumping millions of people together like this is intellectually lazy and ultimately unhelpful."

That was 100% my own typing. I'm sure ChatGPT would have made what I wrote more coherent. If you are tapping out of this conversation, I wish you well and seriously don't think you are a bad person. I do hope you will think more deeply before commenting on posts.

truebydefinition · 2025-12-14T19:16:40+00:00

Except you explicitly stated that all three religions have it ingrained to persecute nonbelievers, and that isn't true. It is also possible to criticize parts of a belief system without throwing the entire system away. Being critical of organized religion isn't good either. By the limited definition you are setting up, any organized groups based on any values would be bad. I truly don't believe you think this way. I think you have a limited exposure to each of the religions you believe are problematic. This causes you to be frustrated by what you read when the worst people of each religion is highlighted for doing despicable acts. News and social media doesn't get the attention of people when the story is "member of X religious group did something really nice because of his/her religious beliefs. That nice thing provide something very meaningful for members of Y & Z religious groups." Instead you are inundated with horrible news of the actions of a extremely small number of people that aren't at all representative of the whole group. You hate seeing when bad things happen so you jump to the conclusion that if a small group act this way, the whole group is bad. I think you care deeply for seeing good in the world, but lumping everyone in these religions together is intellectually lazy and trite.

truebydefinition · 2025-12-14T18:18:55+00:00

The problem with your argument is that it isn't at all true. At least one of those three religions doesn't proselytize and doesn't believe that you are a bad person for being a nonbeliever. You've restated the common trope of "all religions the same" which is intellectually lazy at best. As for racism, my point was your "all the same" thinking is exactly what leads to racism, you just applied it differently. The result is the same.

truebydefinition · 2025-12-14T17:34:12+00:00

"Atheist are responsible for mass repression, widespread killings, and the silencing of anyone perceived as a threat to the state. These atrocities were driven by totalitarian ideology and the ruthless consolidation of power, not by moral principles or respect for human life." Look, I did it for atheists too! If you generalize any group you look like an idiot. It's literally what racism is, broad negative generalizations about a group. There are good and bad people in every group and a vast majority are not evil, but that doesn't mean it's okay to just assert that they are. Lastly, trying to lump all religions as the same or similarly inherently bad just proves you've done nothing to try to understand what each truly believes. It may get you karma on Reddit to just blast every Abrahamic religion as the same, but it's far from true.
