  • I think it’s true. It’s a really fucked up story. She moved to Australia and advocated for women that had been through sex trafficking. Got married, had kids, then got divorced. She was emotionally unstable, so her husband put a restraining order on her.

    Then she got into an accident with a school bus. They said she just had minor injuries and was sent home. A few days later she went to the hospital with a backache, turns out she was in renal failure and had only days to live. Tried to see her kids one last time, but her husband said no, so she took her own life so she didn’t have to suffer any more.

    Poor, poor woman.






  • It’s more of a philosophical god than a being with consciousness. He said that god is “the sum of the natural and physical laws of the universe and certainly not an individual entity or creator.” Simplified, everything in existence is god, but individual things are not god on their own. That point is an important distinction between Spinoza’s god and animism.

    Perceiving god as more of the framework of existence itself is a very compelling way for me to appreciate the connection of all things, without accepting a bearded man in the sky or encroaching on my scientific understanding.
