Are magic mushrooms considered to be a stimulant or a sedative? I thought they were hallucinogens.

EDIT:

Stimulant: an agent (such as a drug) that produces a temporary increase of the functional activity or efficiency of an organism or any of its parts.

Sedative: tending to calm, moderate, or tranquilize nervousness or excitement.

Hallucinagen: a substance that induces hallucinations.

Psylocibin: a hallucinogenic indole obtained from a fungus (such as Psilocybe mexicana or P. cubensis synonym Stropharia cubensis).

Again, I get where you’re coming from.

The reality of the situation is that a movement is full of factions. People aren’t a monolith and they think differently and feel differently. Jk Rowling considers herself a feminist, and she is an iteration of what a feminist can look like sadly.

Think of religious sects, they all fall under the same umbrella of Christianity or Judaism or what have you, but have radically different beliefs and feelings.

They get involved in protests and push their agendas just like any other group of people.

Or tankies! They fucking suuuuuuck and they are communist! I like communism by the way, but tankies can eat and then shit out some Lego blocks.

I get where you’re coming from, but I vehemently disagree. That’s just the no true Scotsman fallacy.

I feel like it would be better to phrase that as you found them uninteresting.

Or did you mean they are un-interesting in a way most of society would say someone is uninteresting. Like they aren’t interesting because they don’t follow sports or TV shows? Or they only talk about work or kids? Those people can still be interesting, just to different types of people.

They may not be interested in being interesting for other people?

I prefer to read the Abrahamic religious books as a legendary/mythological account of history, not outright historical. The people who wrote these books had an agenda to push and by studying it we can get an idea of what their intentions were in wrtiting them down. You can’t fully understand some of the stories in the Bible if you don’t have some understanding of the culture and history and beliefs of the people that wrote them. Context is vital.

I’d love to hear how you think it would change my life? It’s fun to get different perspectives.

I’ve always hated the idea of original/inherited sin. It’s such a cruel idea to me.

You realize that Jews, the people who wrote the Hebrew Bible that makes up what Christians call the old Testament, didn’t and do not believe in original sin? That’s a later christian invention, doesn’t even go back to Jesus.

Christians are the only ones that believe in original sin, right? I could never take that idea seriously after actually reading genesis.

The Shining’s opening theme was based on a medieval Christian hymn, day of wrath or Dies Irae. I love deep vocals and latin lyrics, it’s so soothing.

I take issue with describing Josephus as a part of the ‘losing’ side. Josephus had defected and was working as an interpretor for Titus while Titus was conducting the seige on Jerusalem in 70 AD. He took on the Roman emperor’s family name, Flavius. He firmly sits on the ‘winning’ side, with the Romans.

Plus later on Christian’s were the ones copying his books, not Jews, since he was viewed as a turncoat by his own people. So his books were preserved by the ‘winning’ side as well.

Not saying he should be completely disregarded or written off as a historian, just that he wasn’t part of any ‘losing’ side of history.

I think not having it recorded in any way is worse. At least if something is recorded you can examine and study and compare the accounts to get an inkling of what may have actually happened or see where the truth has been stretched.
