ER nurse, retired, taught as a substitute teacher a few years but quit bc too hard. A had to rewind twice to absorb that. Teaching is harder than being an ER nurse. Could we misserve our teachers and students more if we tried?

I LOVE audiobooks! I also think that it doesn't detract from the "reading" experience. As an avid reader wirh very little time, I like that I can download an audiobook from my library to listen to while driving or doing other mundane chores. I do also read paper books, but audiobooks are great, especially when the narrator is also really good.

I think we'd all be more okay with the Christian rebrand if Christianity was looked at like mythology. I know the Romans basically just slapped new names on the Greek religion, but I don't know anyone who has told me I am going to suffer in flames for all eternity because I don't believe in jupiter. I have been told that many times by believers of the Jesus myth.
