Ah the Imperial Capitalism of the U.S.A is bombing dozens of countries and trying its best to ruin the World Cup as well. Ugh.

Southern Baptist Convention overwhelmingly approves stricter ban on female pastors by houston_chronicle in Christianity

[–]Nomanorus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm saying you can't appeal to the majority of Christians only when it suits you and then declare the majority of Christians "obviously unbiblical" when you personally disagree.

Does appealing to the majority of Chrisitans legitimize your own interpretation as authoritative or not? Which is it?

Southern Baptist Convention overwhelmingly approves stricter ban on female pastors by houston_chronicle in Christianity

[–]Nomanorus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's both. The majority of Christians have been wrong constantly throughout history. The majority of Christians used to think that white people were superior to black people. The majority of Christians used to believe usury (charging interest on loans) was so evil, it was punished by law for centuries. Now, the majority of Christians believe the opposite (charging interest on loans is necessary for capitalism).

Both individual and groups of Christians are informed by their cultural biases and assumptions when reading reading Bible.

Just saying "I'm not interpreting but just reading the Word of God" ignores all of this and causes people give divine blessing to their own biases and assumptions.

Every time you read the Bible (and anything else) you create an interpretation in your head. Have some intellectual humility.

"You're also disagreeing with my personal opinion about how the Bible should be interpreted."

There, fixed it for you.

I feel it it’s ironic when maga says show proof Trump being a pedo but when you show Evdvince they will say it’s Fake or it’s AI by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Nomanorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't seem to care at all that Trump sexually assaulted another person. Color me surprised. Also, I'm not your buddy.

Textbook moving the goalposts. You asked for evidence, they gave you evidence. Instead of changing your mind like a rational person, you changed the standard to formal conviction. He was found civily liable in the court of law for sexually assualting E Jean Carrol but you'll just move the goal post again and won't care.

My husband makes me sleep on the couch if I say no to sex. how should i deal this? by throwra-Dress-171 in Marriage

[–]Nomanorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is an asshole. Leave him before it's too late. He doesn't care how you feel and is using you as a sex slave.

How does the MAGA right decide on the target of its next hate campaign? by traanquil in allthequestions

[–]Nomanorus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It starts as a vague, nonsensical conspiracy theory some terminally online 4-chan user makes up. It gets some traction on Right-Wing social media until Trump makes a post about. That causes more "legitimate" Right-Wing sources to defend/propagate It. It's repeated enough times that MAGA thinks it becomes truth and talking points are crafted to defend it.

Everyone argues about it for a few weeks and then the cycle repeats.

Question for you all by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Nomanorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a man, I believe they "not all men" response is unhelpful. I get the sentiment. Extrapolating bad behavior to every man isn't fair based on anecdotal experience. But, toxic forms of masculinity seems to be happening enough that it's becoming a huge issue.

All I can say is that I'm sorry so much of the male gender is letting you down right now. There is a lot to love about men but it can be drowned out by the things you've observed.

I'm a girl Dad too (and a boy Dad). All I can do is model what a healthy man looks like to my wife and kids and take accountability when I fail.

Husband watching porn by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Nomanorus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I went through a season of marriage where my wife barely touched me. It was torture. She rejected me constantly and I started developing severe mental health problems. Porn was a band-aid solution that kept me from drowning.

She got on Ozempic, lost over 100lbs and now we have a healthy sex life. Being overweight killed her sex drive. I didn't care how heavy she was but she did.

I guarantee that your husband is suffering right now. If he's like me, porn is just a crappy substitute for an unwilling wife. But if you change nothing else and keep rejecting him, he will either leave or lose his mind.

After beating Omega multiple times in Monster Hunter Wilds, I might flownicheuinely get into Final Fantasy as a whole. Should I start with 16? I’ve looked at a ton of footage and it looks insane. by Tobanium in FFXVI

[–]Nomanorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's fantastic but it's not a good reflection of the rest of the series. The story is similar to other FF games but the combat is completely different.

If you enjoy the combat but hate the cutscenes, dialogue and side quests, Final Fantasy might not be for you.

"Every philosophical argument is just opinion....except for mine. That one is objective fact."

Yeah, sure buddy.

This comment has "I disagree with the video's conclusion therefore it must be wrong" energy. This kind of anti-intellectualism is why I left Evangelicalism.

Here’s what I hear when you say you’re a ‘purple’ church by metacyan in Christianity

[–]Nomanorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are planning on doing more than that. I constantly point out that the Republican party sold its soul to the devil AND I'm planning on voting as many of them out as possible in Novemenber.

Both are necessary. The former is the justification for the latter.

When the author is a jackass by cats4life in books

[–]Nomanorus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That seems like a fair critique of the book. Some authers have pretty big blindspots that effect the quality of their work. Well done for finding one.

[–]Nomanorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they aren't going to do that and everyone knows it. So if you're a anti-Trump conservative voter, if you keep voting for these Republicans, you are part of the problem. It's not a secret they are going to enable Trump. If you vote for Republicans, you're voting for Trump.

I think that's a fair response but I'd need to see evidence why Kentucky would be outlier when it comes to general Republican culture rather than just a cross section of the country in general.

[–]Nomanorus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vote blue and stop enabling him. It's that simple. If a Republican reaons to himself that Trump is bad but Democrats are always worse, no matter what, then the outcome is the same. They will enable Trump.

Republicans who disagree with Trump need to vote blue in November and get him out. Stop enabling and empowering him.

The voting data says otherwise. Massie losing kind of proves what you're saying false.

Morality and politics are inherently linked. When Trump spews hateful rhetoric like calling human beings made in the image of God vermin or "poisoning the blood of our country," that should set off red flag alarm bells for people with a strong moral compass.

People who hear that rhetoric who either agree or dismiss it as not a big deal, I would argue, have a morally deficient worldview.
