<p>Secular humanism has been accepted as a religion for First amendment purposes.<p>Non theistic Buddhism is still considered a religion.<p>Worldview might be a better term for us to use in understanding people's first amendment rights. And also the idea that there is no neutral worldview. E.g. "secularism" is directly hostile to many religious viewpoints, and to the degree that its proponents use it to oppose religion, secularism becomes a religion/worldview/belief system.</p>

<p>The old gods lost their power because they had been conquered by the Spirit of Christ.<p>It's a danger to beware of, that people might start to listen to LLMs like they have the gospel truth on morality and spiritual matters. But they're just an image of a man given breath and speech, without true wisdom. Man took sand and copper and formed the simulation of a mind. If we then bow down to it and obey it, we're fools.</p>

<p>The elected office of sheriff, being a law enforcement office, can push back at the county level to overreaching state government, in a similar way to how state government through states' rights can push back against an encroaching federal government. It's a power of government that is closer to the people and more accountable to them, theoretically. Not to say it can't be abused but it can also serve a valuable role in checks and balances. Look up the principle of the Lesser Magistrate.</p>

<p>Maybe the author of Hebrews 12:11<p>"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."<p>It's a long-standing trait of adulthood to be able to reflect and integrate the sometimes painful training of childhood as being necessary for producing the mindsets and behaviors of to function in society.</p>

<p>Separation of powers is what I was thinking too.<p>That Soviet constitution (like all communist movements that I know of) sounds utopian and unrealistic.<p>The American Framers, many coming from a worldview that saw humans as inherently sinful and corruptable, built as many safeguards into the system as possible to prevent that human nature from running unchecked.</p>

<p>"mansplaining" is an attack by toxic femininity on the normative state of affairs that men like talking about facts and the physical world and how things work. It's just another instance of womanplaining (from "complaining") and name calling, really, and
"oh well" is probably a pretty good response.<p>Just thinking about it some more, maybe "womplaining" is pithier and has a better ring to it.</p>

<p>John's vision of heaven in the book of Revelation includes both the wedding feast of the Lamb and the trees of life that will bear 12 different fruits in season. Jesus also ate fish a few times after his resurrection to demonstrate the physicality of his resurrected body. So there is the concept of eating in the resurrected paradise of the new heavens and the new earth.</p>
