@FloridaMan7745 Yes and also no, because "American Protestant circles" can mean basically anything. It's like saying "the Eastern Orthodox."

Is the harrowing of Hades not taught in American Protestant circles?

What happens to those who died without knowing Jesus is a valid question, and this just goes to show that the general public has a poor understanding of Christianity

@CovfefeAnon liberal judge:
literally more powerful than anyone in the executive, can make anyone in the country do anything on a whim
conservative judge:
gets to wear the Jedi robe and be highly respectable

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is clearly the smartest justice with the deepest understanding of what the judiciary actually is in 2026
Tanelorn@LovesSardine
@JPF16C @shipwreckedcrew All I see is a justice, 100x more effectively than the other ones, dominating the conversation, voting for their causes, not getting caught up making sure their opinion today at least pretends to align with some obscure precedent from 1831. That concept died 100 years ago.

@mauddweeb fedorables when miracles aren't reproducible 😤😤😤

I think apologetics fails most egregiously when it stops being a defense and starts being a way to convince people
“That’s not true and here’s why” vs “here’s a rational explanation for how the universe could only be 6k years old”
You’re supposed to take the resurrection on faith
wanye@xwanyex
This is what I mean when I say that a lot of Christian apologetics are embarrassingly bad. “The resurrection must be true, because the apostles were willing to die for it and nobody dies for a lie” is an argument that’s beneath thinking people.

This was so funny

@babyfeverbabe tapping her back to let her know there is room at the very front if she doesnt want to see any children in the church
nothing but the priest and Jesus up there
English
The older woman in church tapped me twice today
Once to tell me that there was a room in the back of the church I could sit in with my daughter next time
And the other time to say I shouldn’t be picking her up while pregnant
English
@MorlockP Sure, but as demonstrated by this whole affair, not only is the US number so high as to apparently cripple any other military attempting to match it, we also haven't actually seen the number at which the US is willing to abandon someone.
Europe sets their number at two planes.

As if the US doesn't do the same.

Do other cultures not play Capture the Flag as children? At least to me, there’s something primal about going into the other team’s base, taking something of value, and bringing it back to ours.

@gen0m1cs "need mo money fo dem programs" is a venerable mainstay of crime discourse, whether it's uttered in Ebonics or educated liberalese

As coined by one of the QTers replying to this post, the phrase 'liberal policyslop' isn't used enough to describe this stuff.

It’s one thing to not believe Jesus is god, but not believing in historical Jesus is mostly midwittery
🎨Artsy M*rxist 🎨 (commissions closed)@ArtsyMarx1st
posts like this are funny cuz sure, but jesus wasnt a real guy. theres no evidence beyond anecdotal that he was real, and most details of his life are borrowed from other religions. so its like a bunch of ppl arguing over what hercules looked like.

@GadharSean @lotuseaters_com You don't have to do that, there's no security. You can just bring your own knife to stab people with.

@lotuseaters_com How many minutes of rubbing a ping pong paddle on a sidewalk does it take to make a knife? Just asking , no reason given.

During the Easter Offensive, a USAF pilot was shot down over North Vietnam in a densely patrolled area with 30,000 PAVN soldiers. Americans used his photographic memory of golf courses to guide him past minefields over open radio until he could be rescued by Navy SEALs.
English
@WomanDefiner The European mind cannot bear the thought of losing all this to rescue 1 adolescent girl.
English
Is this why you guys refuse to clean up the rape gangs? It cost too much?
Daniel Foubert 🇵🇱🇫🇷@Arrogance_0024
Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@RamiJai123 @Jebus Yes the Iranians have now learned that to fight the USA, you try and shoot them with guns.

@TMGUSA92 @realspeckzo Depending on your translation, you're also going to find Azazel in Leviticus 16.
English
@realspeckzo So Azazel appears in the Talmud and the book of Enoch.
Interesting.
English
The Talmud basically says “yeah nothing supernatural in our religion worked anymore after Jesus died for some reason” and then Jews still deny Christ’s divinity.
English
@theblessedsalt Notably, very few people indeed were killed to produce The Passion of the Christ
English
I saw The Passion in theaters in Lent 2004. I was a Catholic seminarian. A local Baptist pastor offered his bus to drive a group of us to see it. It had only been out a few days. It’s an amazing film and the take below — specifically in regard to its violence — is frankly just really weird to me. Of course it’s violent. It’s probably much less violent than the reality.
Laura Robinson@LauraRbnsn
I saw this movie wildly late in life for someone raised evangelical (my parents were NOT happy at the fact that youth group kids were watching it). So I saw it in my late 20s for a class with @IanNelsonMills and my husband. It remains one of the strangest film experiences of my

@aknox92 @SandyofCthulhu everyone loves the idea of "cool bargain for power" gameplay but implementation always gives them lots of bargain in exchange for level-appropriate power
English
@SandyofCthulhu that's a really raw deal when wizards can do stuff and it just makes them eepy
English
My weird suggestion:
Warlocks shouldn't have spell slots. Instead, they should bargain with their patron for each and every spell. When that spell is cast, it's gone forever until they can "reload" it from their patron.
Example:
Warlock "I want the Finger of Death!"
Dark Mistress "You must cut off one finger joint and give it to me."
Next time he wants Finger of Death, it's another finger joint unless he can talk Dark Mistress into something different.
Weaker spells would require weaker sacrifices.

@FaucciMane Does hitting a cow with a stick consign them to a life in super India for the next cycle?

It’s so insane that there’s now over a billion of these people walking the Earth. A Lovecraftian horror beyond all comprehension
