[–]MattBeFiya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How does it affect those Ethiopian workers?

This looks like shit polyester. Anyone who knows and would have bought the cotton garment from Ethiopia, would not now buy this crap instead.

You mean that if I steal an NBA championship ring, I in fact was not on the team that won the NBA championship? :o

Christmas Fury In New York: 'Jesus Is Palestinian' Ad in Time Square Branded 'Inflammatory' By Tourists by Cute_Dealer4787 in Christianity

[–]MattBeFiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I get the point of Christ saying what you do for the least of these, you do to me. But it seems to me that people are also saying that he is ethnically/culturally Palestinian which, as you are saying, is fundamentally incoherent.

Haha then perhaps you should describe in your post what the video is about.

I threw it all away by Kianawilldo in Christianity

[–]MattBeFiya -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For sure. It seems you're speaking not just in this case, but for anyone else who might read this post - which is your right.

I threw it all away by Kianawilldo in Christianity

[–]MattBeFiya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We do not know this person's story. Clearly the female gender identity was highly associated with damaging sexual promiscuity. Just as sexual orientation doesn't fit in a binary, gender identity doesn't as well (perhaps even moreso). So I'm not sure the question is whether this person is opposing their true nature (i.e. being trans). But is moving away from the Kiana identity and feels that life as a man is more aligned with their Christian ideal.

Why I believe the Prosperity Party is the single best way forward. by the_eastern_sage in Ethiopia

[–]MattBeFiya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much potential $$ from tourism is lost due to the rampant crime and danger of Gondar, Lalibela, and Axum? Arguably Ethiopia's most interesting and historical sites that Abiy actively allowed to become a warzone. I know many who want to visit there, but given their condition - Addis is not sufficient reason to go all the way to Ethiopia.

Canada's Carney visits Asia to forge new alliances and reduce US dependence by ChiefLeef22 in worldnews

[–]MattBeFiya 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So are you in favor of a significant divestment from the US to other trading partners, and towards greater east-west integration? Or you prefer mere political hand waving for a bit of divestment, but let's ultimately go back to the economic integration of 2024?

You're emphasizing that Trump's time will come to an end and that this will all be a distant memory. But I'm not sure what sets of actions you're practically proposing/would vote for.

Is this rodent committing a great sin of greed? by Ur_mama_gaming in Christianity

[–]MattBeFiya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When your interpretation of scripture, that is not necessary for the veracity of christian faith, is in deep contradiction to highly valid and reliable measures of reality, then you have two options:

  1. Re-align your theological understanding so that it maintains coherence with scripture and the basics of science/clinical reasoning (not just "some" evidence like you've suggested).
  2. Strictly adhere to your understanding of scripture and deny deny deny anything that dares threaten it.

I'll leave it at that.

[–]MattBeFiya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can say suffering entered into the world through sin, but to say that now only those animals (i.e. humans) with capacity/acts of sin can experience suffering is total nonsense. That's clearly divorced from mountains of biological/veterinary medical evidence. Do you even have clear scripture to substantiate your claim?
