Physically? It's because the chemical your brain releases to paralyze you while you sleep gets overproduced or produced at a bad time, and you end up conscious but still in a dream state and your brain gets crazy.
Spiritually? Yea demons. Ask Jesus for protection and they flee.

Have we figured out why sleep paralysis happens or was I just routinely getting possessed by a demon for a few months

@latterdaylaura I do this, and throw in canned corn, refried beans, and tomatoes

Made a dinner tonight that involved basically no cooking or chopping and my kids said, and I quote, “this is the best food ever. Can you make it everyday? Can I have leftovers for breakfast?”
Rotisserie Chicken enchiladas
Preheat oven to 350
Pull all the meat off a rotisserie chicken, put it in a bowl
Add a couple big scoops of cottage cheese, add a few tablespoons of red enchilada sauce
Throw some of that filling into a tortilla and wrap it
Put those in a baking dish that has some enchilada sauce on the bottom, seam side down
Pour more enchilada sauce on top
Sprinkle on some cheese
Bake until cheese bubbles

$28 lunches make more sense when you realize that over 25% of millennials can't make a cake from a box mix and under a third of young adults feel confident in the kitchen The loss of the American family table has led to the growth of the "cooking illiterate"

@Sarahsred7 The followers of Christ in the Book of Mormon are called Christian
English
Why would I? I'd rather follow Christ's definition of a Saint or disciple than the man made Nicene Creed.
Christ himself never called his followers "Christian"
He called us, disciples, friends, my sheep, little children, and brothers and sisters.

@Sarahsred7 Finally! A Mormon who doesn't insist that she is Christian!

We should build two statues of Lewis and Clark at the head of the Mississippi River akin to the Argonath.

Nowadays kids’ books have messages like “believe in yourself” and “you can do anything” but when I was a kid the messages were things like “a lady who has a candy house wants to cook and eat you” and “sometimes wolves can disguise themselves as old women”

Remember when Tolkien said that the relegation of fairy stories to just children was correlated with the rise of childlessness in the West?
That was insane levels of insight to have in the 1940s. Prophetic some would say.

The best pop culture was always downstream of high culture. Meyer, George Lucas, and the original writers of The Simpsons drank from deeper waters. Now, pop culture writers are exclusively consumers of pop culture and the water has become much thinner.

When Nicholas Meyer was hired to do the second Star Trek movie he only vaguely knew Trek as ‘the one with that guy with the ears.’ He did watch the show but made the movie inspired by things he loved, like Horatio Hornblower. And the result was, well, The Wrath of Khan

The 70s movie is better. The final part of the song is more Jesus realizing that because God is in control of everything, He literally cannot fail

In the ruins of the former American Empire, while travelling on dark routes, you may find yourself in the presence of an entity known only as "The bunny of the swarming bugs" or more commonly, "The Wabbit." He is said to be a long forgotten trickster god. Never quarrel with Him.

That vanilla ice cream is its own unique flavor and in fact has a much more complex profile than nearly all other flavors when done correctly.

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, his adaptation of "The Final Problem" by Conan Doyle, is perfect.
There are many clever and power elements but most importantly he nailed what Tolkien nailed with Gandalf & The Balrog: the hero lays down his life to remove the ultimate threat to his friends. Greater love has no one than this
Holmes and Gandalf both resurrect, leaving their enemies in the grave.
It's the Christ archetype and the Christian ethic. It's meant to be embodied by all of us every day.
Not "your life for mine" but "my life for yours".

The conversion of the HISTORIC @ChineseTheatres into IMAX back in 2013. This was a VERY controversial move at the time. Anyone go before the changes?

My favorite Ian Fleming story is that he named the infamous Bond villain "Goldfinger" because at the time he was writing the books, Marxist, modernist architect Erno Goldfinger was ruining London with his horrifically ugly buildings
Particularly, he put a modernist house in Fleming's sometime-home of Hampstead, London, and Fleming allegedly hated it
So he risked lawsuits to get in a jab at such architectural horrors
ADONIS@adonispara
Fleming wrote Casino Royale at 44. before that he was a spy, a journalist, a banker, a stockbroker. he spent his career quietly collecting experiences he knew he'd one day write about. then he moved to Jamaica, bought a typewriter, and poured all of it into one character.
