which one is this

if you really want to target the same market you’d probably need to skirt around the law and have a girl teach female anatomy on a scientific model

i agree.. it’s so absurd they want to prevent self promotion so badly they would rather limit the entire subreddit and reduce the value of discussion

basically the mods get annoyed of seeing the same thing over and over so they create a rule to prevent it, without wondering if that’s what the community actually wants.

i am of the opinion that the only truly consistent factor between mensans or high iq individuals is their score on an iq test. sure there may be some other commonalities, but this group varies as much as any other.

you can share gloves with mickey mouse!

on another note, you may get some particularly strange looks if you travel to japan, due to the association of having four fingers with the burakamin social class, and the fact that removing a finger is apparently a common punishment of the yakuza!

him crying while saying “cyka” (fuck) is the cherry on top lol

there are a lot of special interests groups for things like your passions you’ve mentioned, and that’s where i’ve found most of my personal value in mensa (although admittedly similar subreddits do compare in value). if you’re ok with paying the membership dues and looking for more social groups to join, you’d fit in.

if u can do a pull up you’re better off than a lot of people

trust you know your body… and maybe take extra care to watch where you step so a douche can’t say “i told you so”

i feel like duolingo is more like a plastic phillips head screwdriver that toddlers use to practice using screwdrivers before they grow up to use the real thing

right, *follow the quran minus the aspect of faith, obviously

new drake album and a new kendrick album to overshadow it

I disagree. allah would be benevolent if he gave eternal life in paradise to those who know he exist, don't worship him, yet still follow the teachings of the quran.

“HORSE COCK DONKEY CUM” -the literal bible

a lot of dealing with dementia patients entails a sort of role playing, i see this as an exception to the standard “rules”

unskilled entrepreneurs* before every mention of entrepreneurs

I have never heard anyone describe hell as a physical ‘place’ with literal fire and brimstone.

… well does the bible count? Revelation 20:10, Thessalonians 1:8, Mark 9:43-8, Luke 16:23-4, Jude 1:7

got 128 on the online mensa one, 135 and 134 on two of the tests recommended on r/cognitivetesting and idk what i got on the real one but i qualified 🤷‍♂️

yes, that’s one view of many

holy shit what a beautiful line

super interesting learning about kemeticism!

yeah, i agree, most religions with powerful beings as their gods do often make faith in their god a requirement of salvation, which I think is inherently unfair.

In kemeticism, it seems unfair to me that a person with faith would have access to these spells in their afterlife, no matter if they were a “good” or “bad” person on earth, and someone who was “good” but that didn’t believe wouldn’t have access to these spells, and as a result, salvation. it seems to me that a just god(s) would value someone’s character over their simple belief in them. although im not certain if followers of kemeticism even claim that their gods are just or benevolent

thanks for your comment.

i really wasn’t trying to evoke the problem of evil in this post, although i do see how parallel some of the things I posted are.

My main argument was the fact that abrahamic religions make it a requirement to believe in their god in order to receive salvation. this is what i mean by “faith.” I believe this is an unfair way of judging people. A fair god would rather accept a nonbeliever that follows his teachings, rather than a believer who lives against his teachings, even if they were to repent.

(on hell) Could they be the different ways of describing the same reality?

Yes, and I honestly don’t want to get hung up on the details of what hell actually is, because it is inconsequential to the argument.

Yes, my only argument in this post is the unfairness of salvation. My understanding of abrahamic religions is that humans are expected to believe in god, follow the teachings of god, and repent if they’ve fallen short. If they succeed at this, they will receive salvation, which I understand is described as eternal life in heaven. It seems to me that in this current system, god places too much emphasis on belief in order to receive this salvation.
