The full quote is
Any SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED technology can not be distinguished from magic.
Personally, I prefer to say technology that can be distinguished from magic is not sufficiently advanced.

Sadly they may have made things worse.
The problem is, when you open yourself up to spiritual forces anything can come through that door… Including your own paranoia… Which is more often attacking you more than demons are.
There was actually this cult, it’s still around today, but is so small time it’s virtually extinct, called Christian Science. It was not a league of Scientists who were Christians, it wasn’t Science at all, it wasn’t even Christian as it had more to do with shit on the level of Chris-Chan’s Dimensional Merge than anything in the bible.
(Science was a newish term at the time, before they used to call what we call Science “Natural Philosophy”, so calling their Group Christian Science was basically the olde timey version of when your Crazy Hippie Aunt watches New Age “Quantum Enlightenment” nonsense on Gaia)
At one point because the Church was grilling them about being called Christian but having nothing to do with the faith, the leader claimed she was the second coming of Jesus and that the powers Christian Science (doesn’t really at all) gives you are the same ones Jesus had.
Later in life when her health started to fail, she stayed in a compound and got progressively worse… Because the fear that her “enemies” were “attacking her with Animal Magnetism!” was making her so paranoid that it was destroying her health.
She had live in members of her cult in constant meditation to shun away the sickness.
It got to the point where she’d claim her food was poisoned by “Evil Vibes”, resulting in the Chefs having to cook two versions of the same meal in order to get her to eat. One that looked “eh”, for her to say it was poisoned, and another that looked fresher to be “After the food was cleansed with psychic powers”, if they didn’t do this little LARP session of “psychically cleansing the food” and have the right props, she would not eat.
Basically claiming a defensive stance when there’s no real threat is a bad idea in certain cases, because the result is you getting so prepared for an attack that you’re tense and believe the attacker is everywhere.
But not being defensive at all leaves you open.
Balance in all things.
Before I go, my favorite funfact about Christian Science is the founder of it was a woman who practiced Homeopathy and Phrenology to understand her own illnesses (Likely just hypochondria if history is to be believed), which at the time were considered legitimate forms of medical practice…
But that’s not the funfact
And neither is the fact that Homeopathy was highly praised at the time because REAL Medicine was so poor it actually caused more problems than it solved. So because people didn’t know any better, it was believed Homeopathy was “The biggest game in town”, even though today we realize Homeopathy literally doesn’t do anything at all. (Yes, No Medicine was better than Any Medicine at one opint)
What IS the funfact, is after various alleged religious visions, Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, while treating a patient of hers withheld Homeopathic Medicine in place of sugar pills… and her patient got better anyway.
Instead of coming to the conclusion that Homeopathy is an absolute sham, she believed she had successfully and secretly taught a man to cure himself with magical science…
She was so close to a groundbreaking discovery, just not the one she walked away with. It’d be hilarious if Christian Science wasn’t responsible for murdering so many children through intentional neglect.
If Trump’s really the Messiah as this moron believes, shouldn’t he be immune to Devil Magic?
The GOP’s desperation for relevancy in a world where literally every problem can be blamed on Republicans
Translation: He wants Russia to win the War and for America to be signed over to the Kremlin, but he knows he can’t say that aloud
He came right outside and said he would “Give her a baby”, either he’s adopting a kid and dropping her off there… or…
This is just like the time Nappa and Vegeta destroyed all of Quahog
A wonderful Gerudo King
Sounds like a Rape Threat to me
As someone with CPTSD in the midst of a panic attack that I already know to be irrational and just trying to stable my mind so I can get back to writing…
You’re the devil
Liberalism would be a lot cooler if it was.
People say Rockstar just “Isn’t a rockstar anymore”
No, this is pretty much how I expect from washed up rockstars who’ve sold out and only care about reliving the glory days. Constantly shouting “Don’t you know who I am?” when anyone gives them any grief.
I vibe to this because my BF recently got into Runescape and he was like “You play this?”
Then I walked him through various quests and kept hooking him up with new armor and like a shit ton of Rings of Life.
I’m still stuck on this thing about how undocumented immigrants are coming to America to eat dogs and cats, but in the process are being forcibly sent to American Prisons which are actually a front for experimental sex changing drugs creating a squad of latinas-who-used-to-be-latinos with the goal of sending them to dominate women’s sports, and the existence of transpeople like myself are an elaborate hoax to manufacture consent for this program.
Do I understand that correctly, that is actually what Donald Trump unironically believes?
A true man of God.
Dear Trump
We, are never ever ever, getting back together.
Sincerely, The White House
Indeed, this is what we called “Okay, now that you’re using the loophole against us instead of the other way around… We don’t like it anymore.”

Forgot the context of what you were responding to when I saw it in my list of replies I’ve recieved, so I thought for a second that someone was trying to fight Dracula… and I’m like “Them Belmonts are at it again aren’t they? Didn’t think Drac was gonna be back for another 11 years”
