I've given a great deal of thought to such things.
Consider this: why does internal dialogue need to be in one's spoken language? By limiting our thinking process to the rules and conventions of speech and language, are we not encumbering, hampering, and impeding our minds?
That's why I like to occasionally practice quiet minded meditation. It's not a formalized system, but the formal systems that it is based on are Eckhart Tolle's "Practicing the Power of Now" and pranayama (yogic meditation that focuses on breathing).
FYI, I am Christian, and intrusive thoughts sometimes need to be dealt with by invoking the name of Jesus and seeking His intervention (never fails, for me, anyway, but obviously your mileage will vary according to your faith).
This is a cartoon about how non-Christians perceive Christianity, not a critique of Christians.
Study the Bible, and you'll find it not only is not stupid or insipid like this meme but is the most profound and transcendental and counter-intuitive truth and wisdom ever written and preserved in the history of humanity.
Save your "oh but other religions" and "oh but the crusades and the inquisition" and "oh but the Catholics and the child molesters" and whatnot. Study the Bible. Do all Christians study it or understand it correctly? No. Do any non-Christians understand it correctly? Absolutely no.
The Bible is the basis for all political freedoms that exist, and they are growing more and more endangered as the world turns to worshiping government and insane imaginations instead of God.

I know what you meant; my point is that using opinions cast as facts to contradict and censor does not shield from liability for fraud. It is a ruse to punish dissenters and push a political agenda, which is also a violation of election laws, undeclared contribution in kind. The more you dig the more illegality you find. Let's also look into Zuckerberg's $300 million contributions to Democrat election infrastructure in swing states.
I'm not thinking libel, I'm thinking fraud. I.e.; fraudulent pretexts for booting people from a public forum, denial of speech if said forum can be said to be a monopoly and therefore a public forum and therefore subject to 1st Amendment protection. This is a viable legal argument, as illustrated by Jehovah's Witnesses prevailing in a case in which a private road was deemed to be public by the courts for the purposes of speech and religious activity.
Which, correct me if I'm wrong, ought to mean that perhaps de-platforming others for disagreeing with said "opinions" which are cast as "facts" and dissenting opinions being cast as "false" might be an actionable cause, both in tort and perhaps in criminal law as well?
Let's not forget that the new deadly strain is actually a harmless cold which has thusfar killed zero people. One person in England died "with" the virus, but so far the health officials spouting that announcement have been reticent to share any more details.
Close. It was a bacterial meningitis vaccine, using horses to develop the serum, so the "Spanish Flu" may have been either a disease caused directly by the vaccine itself or by an errant horse virus.
Minimum oral lethal doses of boric acid in humans have been estimated from accidental poisonings to be in the range of 5-20 g for adults, 3-6 g for children and <5 g for infants. Source: http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/archive/borictech.html#acute
A minimum of 56g of salt, taken all at once, will kill you. Source: https://www.timesknowledge.in/science/about-us-humans/what-is-the-lethal-dose-of-salt-1757-2.html
So then borax is approximately 5-10x more lethal than table salt.
Rev 13:7 It was granted to him [the beast] to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
To me, this is the most frightening part of the book.
In this current age, the saints of God have total authority over the enemy. Jesus said "I saw Satan fall like lightning. Behold I give you power to trample on serpents and scorpions and nothing shall in any wise harm you." This is figurative language, but the context assures you He is referring to His disciples' power over demons and over all of the power of the enemy, including deception and temptation.
It would be nice to know that heading into the end of days we will be alright, but that's not what the book says. It says we must be prepared to not only live for Jesus but literally to die for Him as well.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”
