How did Judas die? And WHY this legend was INVENTED!
It’s possible that early Christianity did not have the story of Judas the betrayer and that Paul wasn’t aware of this story.

Region On Edge As Iran Peace Talks Stall Yet Again
The Iran conflict, in its low-grade double blockade form, feels like an endless cycle.
Iran has been attacked by a superpower and is technically more able to develop nuclear material than they were a decade ago…they likely want a nuke for defensive purposes more than ever.

Red-Hot Labor Market, or the Exact Opposite?
Unfortunately, the good jobs number isn’t as good as it seems. Inflation rose more than wages; many of the jobs are low-paying temporary jobs from the World Cup; and many jobs were young people taking care of old people, which while important ethically, don’t increase the productivity of the economy.

America’s Decline is Worse Than You Think
The USA is losing its military dominance. It is not adapting fast enough to changing technologies that make killing Americans in war easier. Still, there are many military objectives it could achieve over potential enemies, but the US is not willing to take the casualties necessary to achieve those objectives, and America’s potential enemies know it.

Why firms actually underpay their workers
At the lower range of the wage scale, businesses have so much leverage over workers that they can suppress wages under competitive market rates. Because of this, an appropriately priced minimum wage doesn’t hurt employment, and actually increases it because more people are willing to work for that higher wage and they are less likely to quit.
The increase in wages results in higher prices and lower profits. The higher prices do not cancel out the wage growth with inflation because only a minority of the cost of all the goods and services people buy are from people who make near the minimum wage.

Ukraine Carries Out Massive Drone Attack in Saint Petersburg
It’s not clear why the Secretary of Defense is canceling promotions of people who are mostly not white or not male. These are people chosen for promotion by the normal boards that make these decisions based on merit, and the secretary is not explaining his reasoning.

Jesus had 1 core teaching; Christianity ignored it
Throughout time and space, different peoples have had different ideas of which acts are moral and which are not. People take the moral instinct, and come to different conclusions.
Romans tended to think that those with power had the right to use it and to not care about the downtrodden. Charity was done to make you look good, not because helping people in and of itself is a good thing. Charity was focused on helping your kin and allies, not human beings because all humans have value.
Jews thought you should help your neighbor, but not all humans on Earth.
Jesus taught that everyone matters.
Jesus appeared to really think that a rich person could not get into Heaven. Modern Christians find excuses to ignore that. Bible scholar Bart Ehrman said that when Jesus said, with God, all things are possible, he meant God could change rich people’s hearts, convincing them to give away their wealth.
Jesus taught that you don’t need atonement to be forgiven. But his followers thought his death was an act of atonement. So, Jesus was crucified partially for teaching that you don’t need atonement, then his followers codified Jesus’s death as an atonement!
