Bob's rationalization of this dichotomy is, "Thought" as he defines it, is backed by "evidence and science", while "belief" is based in nothing but the feelings scribblings of scribes who somehow think they're transcribing the words of the Invisible Sky Daddy (or whatever) and which are based in superstition (like the Romans reading chicken entrails to predict the weather) rather than any solid evidence, and the assumption that since Sky Daddy doesn't exist, that people are either hallucinating, assuming what the nonexistent Sky Daddy would want based on what they think should be, or people malevolently trying to control whamen people (which is what the pro-choice crowd keeps crying about the pro-life side).

Well, I'm talking about societies whose beliefs are so primitive, that "messing with a body" had nothing to do with sanitation - it was just people afraid that their bodies would be messed with, as if they would know if it happened because WHOOPS SUDDENLY I'M IN HELL/WANDERING THE EARTH IN TORMENT, WTF HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. I don't think it had much to do with sanitation, because if it initialy was, the emphasis would be that doing things to a dead body (like cutting it open/taking things out) would put the soul of the person doing things to the body in jeopardy, rather than the soul of the already-dead corpse.

Nothing formally to do with sanitation, but before the advent if things like "germ theory" let alone modern medicine, the line between medical care and witchcraft was blurry at best. The ancients could describe a lot of phenomena (losing too much blood kills you, standing water breeds disease, certain ailments travel from person to person) but with no understanding of the mechanism, supernatural forces were as good an explanation as any. As a result, a lot of ritual beliefs sprang up as a result of people mapping cause-effect relationships they didn't fully understand (to your example, the Romans believed exactly that: that you became ritually impure by touching a body that didn't receive last rites.)

Similarly, it's not a coincidence that Judaism and Islam both have prohibitions against pork, which certainly would help a community avoid trichinosis.

I'm watching The Quartering reviewing the reviews of Ghostbusters After Life, and MovieBob in on there. Here is what he wrote, "The Joe Biden of Ghostbusters revivals: A good enough, intermittently effective throwback coasting on earnestness for its own sake and - fairly or not - destined to be more successful than a candidate from 2016 mainly by virtue of NOT being a woman".

I'll admit, it's a clever analogy, but you know he's been sitting on that one for months just champing at the bit to use it. Jesus Christ, he has to put his shitty political opinions in everything. He really has to keep pretending that people hated Ghostbusters 2016 and Hilary Clinton because of sexism.

I just realized something as I was typing this. I've always said the Bob is the epitome of the Dunning-Kruger effect, but he is also the epitome of the Seven Deadly Sins. Pride, Wrath, Greed, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. I'm actually amazed at how one person can be this contemptable.

"The Joe Biden of movies" because it shits itself halfway through.

Bobby still thinks Ted Cruz salivates over Biden's massive penis, and he thinks a white man scoring a Chink chick is a massive achievement:

Of course you know what the "obvious exception" is.

Bobby is buttmad about Jane Campion. Of course he is. And the imaginary "Film Twitter Bros" will have none of it (More in this thread)

Bob really finds the worst films to defend and really likes to use the "DIRECTOR IS A MINORITY/WAHMEN SO YOU'RE RACIST/SEXIST IF YOU HATE IT!" card. Like seriously he has done this with so many films like Cuties and Eternals that he acts like being a minority makes you exempt from criticism. The best part is only corporate bootlickers like him are defending it while everyone else (including the lefty sphere Bob desperately wants to be apart of) are ripping this remake to shreds and making fun of dumb Americans who think reading is too hard while watching a movie.

Yes Bob because the only thing Blizzard did that piss people off was the phones thing. It's not like Blizzard had entered in a lot of other controversies that have happened more recently. Seriously Bob, go fuck yourself.
