I'm a big fan of the gut punch which transitions into a hair-pull down into a knee to the face combo.

If you don't wear pants, the blood is easier to clean off.

We went from a god that encompasses all things to a god that is perfectly loving and kind and only wants the best things for us . . . and then we created Satan to be the god of all the bad things in life like death and suffering.

Yet . . . we maintain a tradition of monotheism while practicing polytheism. It would be better if we acknowledged god similarly to the eastern Tao, as a personification of nature and reality itself, rather than a God of love and compassion.

That's my $0.02

I think I might have figured out the moment things "went wrong" as it were.

Religion goes from animism (nature spirits) to polytheism (many gods representing different aspects of nature) to henotheism (one central god with lesser servile gods) to monotheism (only one god).

However, we had monotheism wherein god was all aspects of nature rolled into one. Things like good and evil couldn't be applied, just like with nature itself.

Then . . . we went backwards

I may have come to a realization I'd like to share.

I have been trying to come up with a solution to people who struggle with self discipline. They ask me "how" they can stop caring what others think, or "how" they can stop being lazy, and I think I understand the problem.

You need to develop the ability to envision the goal to stay motivated, which requires abstract thinking and the ability to have an internal model of the world.

This requires an IQ above 100.

Is weakness a product of IQ?
