  • The shooters are commiting the same sins that their church leaders commit. Pride, greed, wrath.

    I’ve heard “good Christians” hand wave their responsibility for bad behavior by saying things like “we’re all sinners” or “I’ll have to confess later!”

    I guess that latter one is Catholic, but it’s all the same.

    Religion was a necessary framework for transmitting moral knowledge in a time when people didn’t have a stable foundation. Centuries ago. It’s absurdly flawed and grows communities that are extremely vulnerable to corruption and radicalization.

    It’s time to move past religion.

    Unpopular opinion, but a great way to treat many neurological conditions is a ketogenic diet. It works great with intermittent fasting/time restricted eating.

    Low budget carnivore is very cheap and surprisingly healthy. It’s also guaranteed to be ketogenic and it’s easy to prepare the food.

    The ketones that your body produces have a protective effect in your neurons that can help them recover if they are being damaged by inflammation or a host of other things.

    Childhood trauma is highly correlated with a host of digestive and inflammatory conditions. So if you had any trauma growing up, it’s even more likely.

    If you’re unwilling to change your diet, intense resistance training (weight lifting) and sleep hygiene are also huge.

    I personally recommend looking into free lifting programs that are simple like stronglifts 5x5. Melatonin for sleep (start very low dosage and adjust up if it doesn’t work - stop after a week and see if you still need it). Also Sam Harris’s meditation app which is free if you email and ask for access because you’re struggling financially. Meditation is great on it’s own but it will also help with sleep.

    I wouldn’t worry too much about the label, just focus on your symptoms. Impulse issues, restlessness, difficulty relaxing, difficulty falling/staying asleep. Emotional regulation issues. Unsafe decisions. Etc.
