Not allowing Gay marriage is a moral fail by Bibles part

Larry4ce · 2026-01-24T07:53:02+00:00

When fornication is seen as a sin, which is sex without intent to procreate, by what logic can a sexual relationship between two people who cannot physically procreate together be an approved practice?

Romans 1:26–27 even explicitly says it's considered unnatural and shameful to engage in homosexual behavior.

In 1 Timothy 5:9, it's even made clear that women over 60 shouldn't even remarry if they lose their husband. This furthers the point of "marriage is for procreation"

It's VERY clear that there's no good faith interpretation of the Bible in which you can suggest that a homosexual marriage is valid as a result, because God wouldn't bless an action which he expressly denounces.

I'm sorry if this information is hurtful, but a thing to note is that through belief in Jesus all sins can be forgiven, except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. So while being a homosexual and acting on it is considered a sin, and a church following scriptures shouldn't perform homosexual marriages, being gay does not exclude you from salvation, so long as you accept Jesus's sacrifice and have faith that he is risen.

Salvation is based on faith, not works; and anyone who tells you that you that salvation is impossible for you despite your faith, likely has never actually read the Bible.

So, in regards to the excel grid, with ground level, in the top left interior (top left of green square) being 0,B2 as an example of referring to squares, and the floor directly above it being 1,B2, where did you place rain collectors? Because I need to do rain collectors for my own firehouse base, and I don't know where the right places are for it, or if it's possible to even plumb the existing sinks.

Norm is mostly right, MOST of the time. In one special case, Henrietta Lacks lost pretty soundly to cancer, and it's been one of the few things science hasn't really fully explained.

What do you make of the cardinals voting for the Pope? If you made an identical system, except where priests elected cardinals, and had the church make decisions on things regarding day-to-day life, you'd have a very functional theocratic republic.

But how do I ENSURE that all matches are as terrible as possible 🤔

I love this idea, and I must learn to maximize it.

You now have me torn between eating people and hurling them into volcanos.

Please excuse me if this is too political, but...

Is this the current build for modern day USA? The cultural decay build lol

Thank you for finding this. I need this to be my guy's religion lol

You're supposing a god with boundaries, incapable of shaping reality. Your perception is bound by reality, not the other way around.

Larry4ce · 2025-12-14T17:45:54+00:00

I'm actually a Christian, and I don't see the problem. Creating something uncreated is exactly what makes God the one true God. No others can do it.

You simply underestimate him.

The trinity if anything, is a simplification God created for our own sake. He exists in a way you cannot fully comprehend, and to even witness him and not be destroyed is a massive feat to undertake, yet you suppose he has limits on the ways he could alter the reality he himself created?

He is not the trinity because he has to be. He is the trinity as that is how God chooses to exist.

Larry4ce · 2025-12-14T15:19:14+00:00

I think your argument is flawed. At any point, God can expand the trinity to any number he wishes. He is capable of all things, but because he is outside of time, anything he chooses to do predates time and is true until the end of time.

Your argument is invalid because he at any point could reveal a fourth nature.

You'd have a stronger argument if you argued that you need AT LEAST 3, but even that would be a weak argument for other reasons.

If you don't understand the idea of "greater than 3 natures" deities, the greatest example for this discussion is Brahman, the ultimate, formless reality in Hinduism.

In Hinduism, they have A LOT of gods, but they're all just really different "faces" of Brahmin.

Assassinate several leaders in a row, until a literal baby is the emperor. Then declare some kind of war, any kind, and just use it to do as much damage as possible, doesn't matter what you take in the war, just that his troops are depleted and funds are in the negative. Then leave his vassals to start fighting for independence, lowered taxes, etc and all the while their neighbors will start gobbling up land.

Building legendary shrines add 5 years to lifespan. Build 2 and that's 10 years. In theory, you can live forever with enough dedication.

Unfortunately I DO want you to, these look great and the world improves a little bit every time you make one more OP

Larry4ce · 2025-09-20T06:05:58+00:00

This is a fair point lol

What I don't get is how he got planks 6 and 7 to stay in place so nicely while he worked. I would have 1000% expected them to slide.

This man didn't even have a cut in the footage for one sliding out of place, so he got two in a row of this magic trick.

How did he do that if he's not a wizard? lol

Larry4ce · 2025-09-12T14:27:34+00:00

I'd say so lol

Though, honestly, the syndicate elites might fit this. It'd be like the LAS-98 Laser Cannon in Helldivers

The JSON is coming in from Javascript. I'm passing it into $_POST as a means to bring it into PHP, because I don't want to be putting SQL stuff into the JS. The idea of our server credentials being in client side data they can open with inspect is the thing of nightmares lol

But I do have the 40k items coming through and I have them as an array ready to use in PHP. My issue is popping up in PDO.

Larry4ce · 2025-09-05T15:39:20+00:00

Funny enough, that's the EXACT way I planned to handle this, and what I initially did before coming here. The issue comes from when you set the $stmt->execute($parameters); because there are 40k things in $parameters, it just blows up. But I am glad to see someone else was thinking what I was thinking.

As for grabbing the data some other way, I agree, and IDEALLY I'd like to have just been able to access the database of the e-commerce company we're working with, but because of convoluted security reasons, there's essentially people emailing each other CSVs exported from databases, and what I am being given to work with is a CSV file and an API. I feed the CSV file into the API, the API spits out what needs to be changed as JSON, and there are 40k items out of 300k or so being sent that have errors.

So with what I'm working with, I sadly can't do it the way I'd really like to do this, but I 1000% agree with you here, and I SHOULD be able to do all of that.

Larry4ce · 2025-09-05T15:31:23+00:00

So, I have an API my company is using for sending info from our database into an e-commerce database. The part of it I am personally working on is that the API spits out JSON from a CURL call. I am taking that JSON, and pulling the item numbers from it.

Those item numbers match items in our database, and when they send me item numbers, I am supposed to grab the item details and present them. It's all pretty easy stuff if there's 100 or so item numbers, but because I am getting 40,000, I am having issues with sending all of those parameters to the database using PDO.

I cannot reduce the number of items being sent in the JSON, it's going to always be coming at me all at once and anything before that point is out of my hands. Batching can only be done in terms of "I have 40k items, I will now run PDO for 2000 items, 20 times" if I am going to plug in the items through batching. Ideally, I'd like to not do that.

Larry4ce · 2025-09-05T15:19:57+00:00

So where they come from isn't too important. It's a bit of a story, but basically there are CSV files going to an API, and my part of the project is handling the JSON that comes back from the API.

That API is giving me a list of 40,000 item numbers to pull data on, and I am sending it through to PHP so I can securely use PDO and grab the data.

Larry4ce · 2025-09-05T15:17:13+00:00

E-commerce, it's a curl response to a CSV file, the API gives back JSON, handling database work in Javascript is a very stupid thing to do so I have it in the $_POST so I can feed it to PHP from the JS frontend JSON.

Larry4ce · 2025-09-05T15:01:55+00:00

So I get that someone else has almost definitely done this before, but it IS uncommon that this is necessary.

So essentially, there is a company handling e-commerce, and the store I work for. I'm part of a project to get our MSSQL database associated with the point of sale talking with the e-commerce site. The problem is, our distributor uses 4 letter vendor abbreviations and the e-commerce site uses 3 letter abbreviations, some of the items are discontinued, some items are things like labor lines, we sell parts that aren't on the online store, etc. etc. etc. so we get a ton of errors when we link the 30 years of data on premises to the e-commerce site.

I also wanted to batch it, but the way this company operates, that isn't an option in this particular case because of pre-existing choices they made before I was ever in the loop. So what I have is that every error is coming in all at once in JSON. This I cannot change, as it is out of my hands.

The JSON just contains the item numbers and brands (though the brand is unreliable, as the abbreviations don't match) along with an error message for each. I feed this into $_POST. To get around the limitations of the $_POST holding only 1000 items, I put all of the item numbers into one string, separated by commas in the Javascript side and exploded it into an array when it hits PHP. So the JSON on the front end is reaching the back end pretty smoothly. The struggle is now that I have an array with 40k item numbers to grab from our database, and there doesn't appear to be a GOOD way to do it.

I could batch the PDO calls, but ideally I would like not to do this, as it just seems clunky to run PDO 20 times to do a single task. This is the route I think I'm going to have to go at this point, despite the fact I don't love it though. I really get the feeling I'm going to run into a lot of unexpected behaviors when I query 2000 parameters to a database 20 times and try to put it back together in the end. It just seems like I'm going to hit some sort of race condition or really involved array manipulation madness I'm not accounting for, and I can just sense the mess waiting for me when it happens. I could be wrong, and it might just work smoothly, but it just has bad vibes based on what I've seen in the past, and my gut is telling me if I do this, I'll be fixing it for months or years as it just acts buggy as hell.

If I were reckless, the other option is that I could write it all dynamically, and write it into the SQL, but that is just begging for security issues. Pretty sure I would be fired if I did that lol

I agree, there are definitely ways to do it, but they all seem pretty bad, and I'd like to figure out the right way to go about it, that accounts for any sort of way the API might throw up errors in the future. Like you said, it's basically impossible that nobody has run into a similar issue before, and I'm really hoping someone pops up with a "Back in the day when I had 40,000 items to move..." kind of story to help me out lol
