Get in the Catholic Church. Bribe, cheat and blackmail my way into being a bishop. Borgia my way into the papacy. Surround myself with loyalists and on my first Urbe et Orbi just be like: “Psych! ‘‘Twas all a big fat lie. God isn’t real and we’re all rapists!!!. FU all!!”

By then I have obviously put the entire Vatican archive on Wikileaks and signed the entirely of church land and property and property over to local NGOs.

    When was the last time you felt happy? (lemmy.world)
     

    There are some moments in life in which a sudden self-awareness of happiness hits - a moment in which you step back from yourself and realize that, in that instant, everything is good. A feeling of your consciousness pulling away to make an emotional snapshot of that moment to care for and examine like one would a wounded bird or a nugget of gold.

    While I don't consider my life as a unhappy one, I only have a few of these moments guarded away. The first being at around age 6. My parents were giving me a group hug while we were all singing a family lullaby. My mother was expecting my baby brother at the time and that was the first time the baby's name was included in the song. I remember feeling detached and floating away while taking in the moment.

    The last time I experienced it I had just finished changing the sheets on a new king bed I splurged on after a small windfall. I remember laying on the bedspread and my 2yr old pup hopping on to play around the newly made bed. Instead of ushering him off as I usually did, I just watched him mess up the bedspread.

    (I know happiness is not a fixed concept and everyone can have their own definition and experiences, but given my ignorance of the specific word to refer to the instant moment of self-awareness described, I just went with it)

    Curious to read your thoughts and experiences.

    Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? (lemmy.world)
     

    A friend and I are arguing over ghosts.

    I think it’s akin to astrology, homeopathy and palm reading. He says there’s “convincing “ evidence for its existence. He also took up company time to make a meme to illustrate our relative positions. (See image)

    (To be fair, I’m also on the clock right now)

    What do you think?
