I’m watching Apocalypse in the Tropics documentary on Netflix about evangelicals and politics in Brazil and it’s mind boggling. Why do the religious people just blindly do whatever the pastors tell them?

I just have to disagree that there IS a dichtomy between what could be defined as natural and unnatural in this case. I just cannot see that it is a particularly meaningful difference between what is being categorized as “natural” and “unnatural”. I fundamentally believe it to be something that’s more emotionally relevant to people than meaningful in a material sense. Also, I particularly loathe when people use emotionally charged language to describe natural processes, nature really does not give a single shit about morality or ethics or the things we value, it’s not a “good” or a “bad” thing outside of the human lens, everything happens for material reasons and nothing more. Quick post-script, if you’re the one downvoting my posts that’s kinda disrespectful, I thought it was an interesting conversation I wasn’t telling you to “shut up and agree with me” or anything. If that wasn’t you then I apologize for suspecting you.
There is a dichotomy in how humans survive vs how a wild animal survives. That’s the entire point. Humans are subject more to our own BS than natures’ BS (for now). That’s the entire point. Humans haven’t evolved to survive Earth better for millenia, but to survive each other better. The game has shifted, and that’s the entire point.
