Can't relate. But my late father in law would enjoy this docu.
ReplyDeleteI cannot either, but I would watch if for the pharaohs.
DeleteIt's a pass for me, but my mom would enjoy this. I feel like she might be leaning more towards her religious roots again now that she's getting older. Not something I can relate to even though we did have a religious upbringing, but live and let live I guess.
ReplyDeleteThis one can be watched as a historical series as well, methinks. I know that in the old movie I found Moses a disgusting person and was cheering for Rhameses.
DeleteI just can't anymore with anything that has any kind of religious context to it.
DeleteYes, I have a feeling religion has become outdated, look at Christmas, used to be heartwarming programmes on the telly, now it is horror versions of Dickens. And I cannot imagine these daft new gens celebrating Easter or anything religious. Humanity is changing rapidly and not always for the better.
DeleteI do think this next generation is shunning religion more and more, and I’m here for it. Honestly, Christmas for us is just a time to celebrate family and togetherness. Easter is again for family and the kids to find eggs and the welcoming of spring. We would celebrate Jesus when I was a child, but I don’t think even I’ve attached religion to holidays since I was in my teens.
DeleteBut it could dangerous, I mean I have never been religious and hate church, but it might also mean the loss of Christian values which might turn society into something even colder than it already is. There is already no compassion and understanding among these new gens.
DeleteI'll respectfully disagree with you there. Some of the most hateful and mean people I know are religious. They sit in church and praise the good Lord, but the trash that comes out of their mouth and the judgements are unbelievable. My own grandma, who practically lived in church all week, was so racist and loved using the words jigaboo and wetback. Used to make me angry to no end. But if she gave a little money to support the black and latino communities, then all should be forgiven. It's the norm with many religious folk. How many wars and deaths have we had in the name of religion? I figure if you need the threat of eternal damnation to keep in line, you probably aren't a good person with good values anyway. Most of my friends are not religious and they are out here feeding the poor, advocating for the minority classes, looking after unwanted animals, adopting those unwanted babies the Christians demanded women birth at all costs, and taking care of the earth with nothing expected in return. The new gens I find have so much more compassion than ours ever had. Common sense they seem to be lacking though, and I'll blame that one the stupidity they see online and try to copy. Tide pods and Stanley cup grabs as an example. Easily swayed towards ignorance, but not lack of compassion.
DeleteNo, you have completely missed my point and went too wide. I am not talking about organised religion and church, but what Christianity teaches a young person or an average human soul: be good, be kind, be generous, do not steal, cheat etc. Without that you have these modern generations who have lost those values and are self observed, vain and self righteous. The compassion that youngsters have is purely there so that they would feel better about themselves and better than the wicked elders, not because they truly feel compassionate. At least most of them, not all of course. They care because it is political to do so these days, about the climate, about diversity etc, not because they are truly compassionate. Most of them lack basic human care which is seen in the way they behave without respect in the streets towards the older people. It was not like that before when Christian values were stronger within the families.
DeleteAh, I see what you are saying. I despise organized religion with a passion. I do think that compassion and kindness start at home, so if we could get parents on board with teaching those values, we'd do ok without any kind of religion. However, like you said, most parents are failures and we'd never make it on that alone...
DeleteUnrelated, but I figured you'd love this story. So, I'm sitting here in my office and I keep hearing a scratching by my sliding glass window. Mind you, it's 10:30 at night. I'm like, what cat got behind the curtain and what are they doing? Then I realize it's too flat to have a cat back there. Then I freak out wondering if a mouse somehow made it's way in. I pick my feet up on my office chair and slowly peel the curtain back. I see two HUGE eyes staring right at me. I scream, throw the curtain back in place, then realize I was just face to face with the cutest little raccoon scratching at my window LOL. Scared the bejezus out of me, but now I'm hoping he'll come back to say hi.
What? You did not feed the poor rascal? I adore Facebook videos where people feed coons and possums. My fave video currently is the one where baby possum is washing his face with his cute little paw like a cat while sitting in his owner's palm LOL
DeleteJason gets mad when I feed them :( As cute as they are, he'd prefer they kept their distance. Our neighbor's sustained over $10,000 worth of damage 2 summers ago when a family of raccoons decided to dig a hole through their roof and make a home of their own in the attic. It was not a pretty sight.
DeleteI've seen videos of coons being dug out of people's walls and roofs LOL
