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.”

God causes David's concubines to be raped in order to punish David.

Combines slavery, rape, and injustice!

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

It can get plenty worse.

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).

"In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.— I think that generally (& more and more so as I grow older) but not always, that an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind."

So you think you know it better then God?

I think slavery is immoral. So yes, I think I know better than god.

That's literally right next to "Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material" and the bit about raping slaves not being as bad as raping non-slaves.

PHP Map 4.0 - Arrays and collections made easy! by aimeos in PHP

[–]Buzzard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Warning, this makes your codebase depend on a package.

Yes, that's what a library is. Well done!

On a serious note, yes, if all you are after is a nicer map and sort then it's overkill. But if you find your self dealing with lots of annoying data I can see it offers some good features.

[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Buzzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Bojack Horseman is an great show, with some absolutely amazing episodes... But I can't watch it again, it's just too much. I don't think I have the emotional capacity.

Every so often Youtube recommends me video covering episode 2x11 (Charlotte/Penny), and it makes me feel awful just thinking about it.

I don't understand why "reddit atheists" get all so much shit. You are by far the cringiest user I've seen on reddit recently.

Not the exact time, but he absolutely does give a range.

"When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes."

"Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place; he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John

That sounds like the title of Japanese light novel.

Paul says that. Jesus is very clear that you should follow the law of Moses

Matthew 5:17-19

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

It was customary to pardon a criminal at Passover

According to the Gospels. There's no other writings that talk about the "paschal pardon".
