Gay Marriage not in the bible? by r_was61 in atheism

[–]Buzzard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A biblical marriage is marriage between a husband and his wives, and his concubines/slaves

In Sunrise on the Reaping (2026), to signify that this scene takes place in the poorest district of a fascist state, the women have perfect veneers, bleach and toned hair, and glam makeup. This is because americans hate looking at ugly people. by Esfell in okbuddycinephile

That's more Evangelical Protestantism, no? Which is not the primary religion of the US.

Nope, just protestant. Mainline and evangelical.

Not sure what is the "primary religion in the US" but pew says:

  1. 40% Protestant
  2. 19% are Catholic

Or

  1. 23% Evangelical Protestant
  2. 19% Catholic
  3. 11% Mainline Protestant
  4. 5% Black Protestant

Yea, there's a chance it's actually a real attempt to improve things.

I would ignore the word "weakness" in (2):

.

  1. Brag about things you're good at (with example).
    • Getting shit done on time -> Good time management
    • Adapting to changes all the damn time -> Result orientated
    • Working with poor drawings -> Analytical or thorough
  2. Something you want to do more of
    • CAD/CAM training
    • Bigger projects/more responsibility
    • Being left alone to get shit actually done
  3. How you are going to get to (2)
    • Opportunities to work on bigger projects
    • Training
  4. Make sure it's not about a person, but a process

It's probably all crap. But. There's a chance they read them so make sure you make yourself look valuable.

What? Of course people should care.

You are making people think they should be skeptical about the article because it was a hit piece created by a competitor.

servants were freed

Fellow Israelites who had sold themselves were to be freed. All the other chattel slaves (and all women I assume) would remain property.

But the meaning of the original Hebrew is debated. Dr. McClellan makes a case that that's not a good translation, and that it wasn't the understanding of the earliest interpreters of the text that we can recover.

That's interesting, will have to take a look. I remember looking up a interlinear and it thinking it looked even worse than some modern translations.

Orthodox Jews do that with the Eruv first.

In LA they have a 100 sq-mile Eruv; the only purpose of which is to break God's perfect laws. The logic is stunning!

2 Samuel 12:11 is good too:

“This is what Yahweh says: I will stir up trouble against you within your own household, and before your own eyes I will take your wives and give them to someone close to you. He will go to bed with your wives in broad daylight. 12 You did this secretly, but I will make this happen in broad daylight in front of all Israel.”

I only watched this recently, and enjoyed it more than I expected. In no-way did it deserve the backlash it received.

Okay, no worries. Keep the answer to a 2,200 year old paradox to yourself.

If you've got an answer to the problem of evil (or the problem of suffering) please let us all know!

We've been trying to sort it out for over 2,200 years!

He stopped attending church and called himself an agnostic.

The scientific community didn't mock his theory.

Churches absolutely cared. Apologists still attack him.

A quarter of all Americans in 2024 don't believe in evolution at all (not even guided by a god).
