3. I was just watching Bailey Sarian A youtuber

She did a video about the dark history of the menstrual cycle,
And she said in Egypt the women would gather together in small houses, and they use cannabis and honey to soothe they're menstrual cramps.

And then she said that would be fun imagine a party every month just you and your women friends in the town hanging out without the fam and kids.. and I was like woe I don't think she realized what she just said.

I like to use the word "commune" to mean coming together to have conversation and to enjoy each other's company.

What if that's all it ever was and they built this whole bullshyt religious idea, based on that small truth, That became grossly misinterpreted

talk about lost in translation

I like her murder mystery and make up. When she tells a story she just captures your attention.

4. I have heard of women banished from their homes during their periods.

I remember thinking at the time how cool, a break from husband and kids. In a small village chances are the women's periods would sync like they do in workplace settings . Not unreasonable to think they would gather. Maybe in a common dwelling. Interesting. Men control the history narrative so they most likely got it wrong. You think?

9. Some religious traditions and ceremonies seem to be misinterpreting

An actual realistic event or philosophy.

Like Mary being pregnant without having sex. It's like someone wanted to believe that an unmarried young pregnant girl really didn't have sex outside her coming nuptals. So, god did it.

And the prayer Our Father. If you go to the original words, it reads more like a socialist manifesto.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, On Earth as it is in heaven - no waiting to die, bring heaven now, here on earth.

Give us, this day, our daily bread - what more would socialists want but Free food?

Forgive us our debt Yes, it originally said debt. Forgiving debt is a start of a better world.

As we forgive those who have debt; Debt forgiveness has to go both ways. And all good socialists would not object to debt forgiveness.

The rest basically asks for protection. A common requests made to most gods in a lot of prayers.

But the heart of this prayer is about feeding people and forgiving debt. So loan forgiveness is what real Christians have been praying for for thousands of years. So, why did Christians get so upset when Biden finally did it? Don't they listen to their own prayers?

10. Agreed!

May I say this is beautiful. If you went through The Bible and you pulled out just the scriptures about love and socialism, that is where the truth of The Bible exist.

Imagine if The Bible had just been those truths and nothing else.

Wouldn't that be a beautiful world💜
