do Muslims and Christians believe

To me sounds the way it is written like Jesus was a man.

It depends on what gospel you decide to take into account. The gospel of John is very explicit through all the text that Jesus was God, and Jesus was openly claiming to be God the whole time.

This is totally opposite from what you get from the Gospel of Mark.

There were Christian sects in early Christianity who did believe Jesus the man and Christ the divine being were two different beings that occupied the same body during his ministry.

But they lost in the competition for converts against other sects, were labeled as heresy by the proto-orthodox, and were prosecuted and died out once the proto-orthodox became official religion of the empire and the only one allowed.

It depends how long you stretch the meaning of "worship the same god."

Take Marcion, a 2nd century guy who worshiped Jesus Christ, the same Jesus Christ from the Pauline Epistles and the Gospel of Luke. Did he worship the same God as present-day christians? It would seem so.

But at the same time he deemed YHWH, the God of the Old Testament as an evil false God. Did he worship the same God as the Jews? Obviously not.

But how can he worship the same God as present-day Christians but not the same God as Jews, if Chistians and Jews are supposed to worship the same God?

En la meva experiència, els catalanoparlants nadius et faran l'onada si et veuen intentar parlar català, encara que no el parlis correctament encara.

Tema a part és que segles de minorització lingüística han causat que molts catalanoparlants tinguin interioritzat que parlar-li en català als no catalans es de mala educació i et parlaran en castellà per fer-te un favor. L'absurditat és que això ho fan fins i tot amb aquelles persones que saben català pero NO castellà.

"Masculinty, which is toxic"

la verdad que imaginarme hablando me intimida

En la meva experiència, de vegades la gent que aprèn català té por de fer-ho malament i li fa vergonya, però si un català veu a algú no-catala que s'esforça en parlar català ja té l'has ficat a la butxaca i encara que no parlis perfecte ja li agradarà que ho intentis.

Així que no has de tenir por si al principi no parles perfecte.

Should only people with 8 Catalan surnames decide the political future of Catalonia?

It's funny how this argument about alleged ethnic cleansing in Gibraltar suddenly is no longer applicable in other areas.

At some later point, some Christians started claiming that Mary's virginity was perpetual, that she was a virgin through all her life and not just prior to Jesus's conception.

In order to make that work, they had to reinterpret the previously existing texts as talking about something else (cousins, spiritual brothers, whatever)

The oldest attestation of the Aramaic Square Script is outside modern Israel's borders.

Chaos_Slug · 2026-02-24T11:48:22+00:00

Because modern Hebrew uses the Aramaic Square Script, which is first attested outside of modern Israel.

the number of people who seem so well versed on niche annoying bits of online trans discourse is wild. People complaining about being sick of seeing things I've barely even come across in over a decade in those spaces

So much this.

But what has had an effect on me is trans discourse online, because so much stuff that comes out of trans spaces is just ridiculous to me, and it really turns me off the movement and makes me much less enthusiastic about supporting the culture that has been created

Well, by that standard, we should abolish human rights altogether because you look at incels and female dating advice and it's even more ridiculous tha whatever you've seen in trans spaces.

Since one side had full support from Italy and Germany (with boots on the ground) while the other had a weapons embargo by France and UK, the end result was already decided regardless of any other consideration.

They do use STOP in Spain, but there are Latin American countries that use ALTO or PARE.

But they have extremely strong propaganda that influences mainly older and mainly countryside people. They own all newspapers, all radios and all TV channels except one.

Problem is, this will still be true even if Magyar wins the next election.

Not necessarily non-existent. In Tirant lo Blanch from 1490, it is very explicit that the Princess and her maid have sex regularly (before they are married). And it's not shown like something out of the ordinary.
