I am really saddened to hear about the miscarriage. While I have never experienced my wife having a miscarriage I know many people who have, and like most people, I have mourned the loss of what could have been.

Grief is complicated and we often mourn more than just what is kind of expected for us to morn. There are a lot of people dealing with grief that goes unsaid. Life is great and precious, but it also has a way of wearing us down as we age and the sadness compounds upon sadness.

The grief you are experiencing is real even though it wasn't you that lost the pregnancy. Doors close every time things like this happen and that's very sad. I want you to know that whatever grief you are feeling. It's okay to feel it, it's real and it hurts. I know you will find meaning going forward. If you want to message me or talk I am available.

As always thank you for your perspectives and worldview.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. It's really hard to keep the chin up because the bullshit that's been spewed at me is about up that high on me right now. The fumes are making me woozy.

I didn't bother reading through this whole article as soon as I saw the bullshit at the beginning, ironically. Yes, God is watching you and the good guys do ultimately win. Not everything in George Carlin's list is true all the time but it's certainly not false all the time. George Carlin is just an overemotional guy who wants to show how edgy he is. Then, you literally worship Thoth the god of word games and bullshit. How's that working for you? Turn to the one true God of Israel and our savior Jesus Christ because salvation is from the Jews.

I do think there is a difference between secular and religious cultures though, I am not even going to treat them as parts of the same culture which I think is a myth as well. I think that's what the Bible story of Cornelius was about. God created the physical world and that was good. No one is freaking out over not living like a 0 BC Jewish person and I think that's what the story of Cornelius in the New Testament was about. I'm sure it's good that no one freaks out because people in Africa might eat cassavas instead of what Europeans would consider bread, it's obvious that has nothing to do with some kind of cassava god even though the Nimrods of the world wish they would've convinced people it did so more people would worship Baal.

There's only one true God who is YWHW, culture and mythology are not the same, mythology can generally be traced back to a bunch of Mesopotamian ziggurat builders and I can't find a single example of mythology from before 6,000 BC when the Mesopotamians started their thing which is ironically when some people who believe in fables think the physical world began, it's not how primitive people explained the world, that itself is ironically a myth or fable itself.

You have much to learn, Michaela. I don’t worship Thoth. I have explained this to you many times.
