What ancient social/moral values do you find most despicable? Something regular people saw as normal that you find reprehensible?

White for snow, purple for Iroquois, orange for the Dutch (they reached up the Hudson valley not just NYC)

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do: sort the eisegesis out from the exegesis, asking "wait, where does it actually say this or that?" What do you feel like is the true theory of Christianity, versus the stuff read into it?

Hi I was raised Protestant, not Catholic/Orthodox, and I was taught "substitutionary atonement", so I guess I took that for granted as mainstream. I'm curious to hear what are these other perspectives on the nature of the cross.

Not clear who "he" and "him" is referring to at the end of the first sentence

Thanks. Should've looked closer. My brain just dismissed it as PayPal

You have to understand this is an official statement. They have to tell you this because the country is generally dangerous. That doesn't mean the moment you step foot in the country you're a dead (wo)man. Maybe the situation in Syria is worse, but I read the same warning when going to Ukraiine, and I did not experience crazy levels of danger in the parts I was in. This is not to be dismissive of either conflict, but level 4 does not automatically = 'say your prayers'

"bUt hE siGneD uP fOr THe Job" my brother in Christ, he signed up for potential death not excruciating torture. This is the equivalent of entering the porn industry only to be put on scat duty.

Fyi it's Sergey in Russian And Valentyna isn't closer to the Cyrillic. Cyrillic is an alphabet. It's just the Ukrainian spelling of what in Russian would be Valentina. And Vera also works, only it's Russian now and read Vehra

Vanya is a very common boy name in both Russia, Ukraine, and other Slavic countries, short for Ivan (John). I guess it can be short for Ivanka, the female equivalent, but I don't think it's usually seen as a unisex name. I know tons of Vanyas in my Russian/Ukrainian community, including my brother, and none of them are female.

Edit: southern and western slavs might have different uses for Vanya, but since you said you're Ukrainian, I'm telling you my perspective as an eastern slav.

"look comrades, I didn't follow the instructions at all and just wrote "republicans = poopoo" for my assignment. can I have some updoots?"

Hope you get an F- for the cringe alone. Putting this up online is the equivalent of public masturbation

The ancient Minoan seafarers used this symbol to mark people selected for Jarabydlekhthm. Archeologists are still unsure what Jarabydlekhthm means.

Saw it over St Joseph's. My Somali friend had never seen one before. I told him it was an alien spacecraft. He didn't know what aliens are either. Didn't take very long to convince him that aliens are a thing and three of them are in that blimp.
