For some reason I’ve just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.
Major cable news networks Fox News Channel, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC all failed to cover former President Donald Trump’s promise to Big Oil executives that he would reverse President Joe Biden’s climate regulations if they donated $1 billion to his campaign, according to an analysis published by Media Matters for America late...

Yes, I very much do believe it is a myth that anyone journey to the Underworld and slayed Titans— however much I wish to believe in Achilles’s and Pericles’s deep, sweaty, manly love. It’s just a legend. It did not happen.
I’m not denying that some religious myth-books do, in fact, contain references to historical events, what I’m saying is that they’re not to be relied upon as they’re often inaccurate to the point of being apocryphal.
You can play games and write dozens of paragraphs of mental gymnastics and equivocation, but, at the end of the day, religious texts are fiction. They’re wholly-invented myths and legends, and that they may, sometimes, include references (no matter how inaccurate and/or embellished) to verified historical events, that does not - in any way - go to validate the myths, legends, nor even the (at beast) quasi-historical references which may be contained in the myth books and scrolls/tablets of multitudinous religions.
If you have a specific event or historical figure you wish to make claims as real - as told/described in some religious text and with specific relevance to such (“Persian Emperor Xerxes existed!” will not suffice. Prove, for example, Jesus was a real, magical person, son of God (whom you also must prove exists) who exists without citing the Bible or any other religious text, and we’ll have a conversation) - then please provide corroborating evidence from a reliable source.
Also, ya know, I wanna see all the proof, teh science/physics, etc on how you proved both God and Jesus are both real and Jesus died and resurrected 3 days later. The water and wine business, healing of the sick, the fiches and loaves….
