  • I don’t know if his is missing the spirit of the question, but i’d say many planets and moons in our solar system could provide inspiration, like the moon europa with it’s endless ice plain (the surface is amongst the smoothest in the solar system) and gigantic sub surface ocean. In a fantasy world their might be a civilisation down their. Maybe the ice sheet is so thick they never knew about the surface and are only learning about it now, because some recent event has exposed a part of their ocean to the surface.

    Locations on earth? The mountain villages around the Himalayas in Napal. You walk endless narrow paths, cross forests, glacial lakes. The view is breath taking. The mountains grow into the sky like paintings. The air is as clear as it can be. You walk trough clouds and sunshine alike and all around you is nothing but wonder. And all along the way, in a place that is always hard on you and sometimes even hostile, there are little signs of the deep devotion the people of this place have for it. Sometimes it’s a little shrine, just a few stones staked upon each other. Sometimes it’s a little stupa. This places have been here for hundrets, some for thousands of years, maintained by generations of villagers. Their religion has the coating of Buddism, but it’s so much older. For in their religious practice they still call to the spirits of the land, yes, of the mountain itself. And it shows. This landscape, hostile as it may be to the casual traveler, has become something the locals not only tolerate, but actively worship. And there is a certain magic to that, a magic that has formed over thousands of years of love and worship. It shows in how every little shire, every stack of stones, is still maintained. It shown in offerings being made to the mountain itself at some shrines, every morning before the sun rises by a different family from the nearest village, every day since their people have come here in times untold. It shows in how the locals know the land by hearts, every path, every slippery slope, every treacherous segment of cliffs they traverse every day. In isolated places you can encounter the wise men of this people, whom live the lives of hermits. In a fantasy setting there would be druids, for they are as close to the real live equialent as i have ever met.








  • This just shows that the bible isn’t a coherent story. On many topics it is near impossible to say what position the bible takes, because it was writen by different men in different times with different agendas. Often, as in the present case, positions contradict each other.

    Every denomination of christiantv is negotiating with the bible and chooses what to leave out, what to include and what to interpret how. This is driven by their specific dogmas, that are often post biblical.

  • I have an outdoor job in the forest and spend maybe 30 min totals over the course at the day checking the phone for messages and writing a quick reply or two.

    At home i spend time with the kids these days. Since they are too young for screentime i only look at my phone from time to time, lets say for an hour totals between me coming home and them going to bed.

    After that? Screentime until i collapse of exhaustion, either gaming or watching Youtube. Most days something around 5 hours, some days more, some days less.

    So around 6 1/2 hour a day. It’s only that much because i sleep three to four hours and use the time i should be in bed to get in some me-time. Hardly a model that i will be able to keep going in the long term, but for now it works.
