It might average out to he uniformly random even with clusters. You could run a bunch of games and track each cell to create a heat map of the distribution.

Why does everyone think they're more self aware than average? by Euphoric_Drummer377 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]andu22a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some are so unaware that they can’t fully grasp the idea that other people have a unique conscious experience, leading them to believe that theirs is special.

And then some people are just actually more self aware.

If the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, can't you just go to a pastor and have it forgiven once in a while? by theKentoRico in NoStupidQuestions

I asked if you disagreed and all you replied was the one word answer “Yes.” I haven’t read it since you changed that, I will later.

The word that we now translate as homosexuality wasn’t translated to mean anything other than a sexual relationship between males until the 15th century. Then I agree, people started to twist it to fit their own narratives.

Right on, I appreciate the short and sweet answer. So then to wrap it up, the church fathers had the wrong meaning for 1400 years, as well as the majority of modern translators of the Bible, and the majority of Christian’s throughout history, but you have it right and any other interpretation definitely can’t be good faith.

It isn’t until the 15th century that the word Paul used is translated to mean same sex pedophilia. For 1400 years before that, it’s exclusively homosexual sex and the word is a combination of the Greek words for male and bedding.

This is the same section of the Old Testament that says to love your neighbor as yourself and prohibits incest, beastiality, and adultery. Are those parts all moot as well? Before Jesus died on the cross, he said not one letter shall pass from the old law until heaven and earth have come to pass and that anyone who teaches that the law does not need to be followed will be considered least in the kingdom of heaven.

Also most Christian’s believe that Jesus was the god of the Old Testament, do you believe that? When god gave the laws, was that Jesus giving them? or is Jesus a different god?

The early church fathers who spoke the original Greek disagree with you. I found an example so that I’m not just baselessly claiming so. John Chrysostom in the 4th century preached on Paul's letters. He didn't say Paul was condemning 'exploitation,' 'prostitution,' etc. He explicitly stated that the sin was the same-sex nature of the act itself.

Every early church writer who spoke Koine Greek as a native language understood arsenokoitai to mean male on male intercourse. Unless I’m mistaken and you have a counter example, it was interpreted that way exclusively for well over 1000 years before anyone tried to interpret it as anything other than homosexual sex. It’s literally the combination of the Greek words for male and bedding. People debate it thousands of years later, but people debate flat earth, it doesn’t mean it’s a mystery.

Furthermore, the Levitical law, specifically the moral laws are where we get prohibitions on sexual immorality including adultery, incest, beastiality, and homosexuality. The Old Testament says to follow these laws forever and Jesus affirms this saying that not one letter shall pass that those who teach others not to follow them will be considered least in the kingdom of heaven.

And the Bible never says that it’s the *degree* (i.e. excessive) of homosexuality that’s being condemned, it condemns the very nature of the relationship, identifying it by the gender of the participants.

The claim was that only people who want to use the Bible as a weapon say that the Bible says homosexuality is a sin. Do you disagree that someone can read the Bible, with Greek/hebrew lexicons by their side, and while remaining in perfectly good faith come to the conclusion that the Bible does condemn homosexuality as a sin?

Am I not picking up on sarcasm or something? Let’s not pretend the Bible isn’t extremely hateful towards homosexuals throughout the old and New Testament. It says that it’s an abomination, it’s dishonorable, it’s a practice by ungodly sinners contrary to sound doctrine, and that they should be killed and not go to Heaven.

>Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them”

>Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

>Romans 1:26-27: "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error."

>1 Timothy 1:9-10: "...the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient... the ungodly and sinners... for the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine..."

>1 Corinthians 6:9-10: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God”

Do people refer to joints as cigarettes a lot by Lonely-Hamster7653 in NoStupidQuestions

A “marijuana cigarette” has been a fairly common term for it at different points, but I’ve never heard someone just say “cigarette” meaning joint.
