Calling Jesus "Yeshua" is a weird one for me. The inspired Greek text of the NT calls Him Iesous, meaning God The Holy Spirit is fine with it. Jesus is a simple transliteration of this name. If you speak Aramaic, then sure, fine. But you don't, you speak English.

So fucking tired of this genre of meme. We’ve seen what happens when leftist extremists take over countries. It devolves into tyrannical, oppressive rule much like right wing extremism does whenever it takes power. The motives are better but the outcomes still suck.

🚨BREAKING: James Bond's casting director has said Bond should remain WHITE and MALE "Ian Fleming wrote a character, and that's the character that stays"

In search of things like the monomyth you get people saying “did you know Jesus drank wine, that’s just like Dionysus!” Ohh what did Dionysus do to people who denied his divinity? “Uhh he drove everyone mad causing the city to devolve into an orgy of sex and murder.”

Christianity (other Abrahamic religions too tbf) is one of those things that becomes more insane the more you learn about it. Like, "oh, the character of Jesus is basically a rebrand of Dionysus and similar figures that existed centuries prior to Christianity? Neat"

Something my Catholic mother taught me from a young age: do not speak ill of the dead. That includes friends, enemies, people you loathe, celebrities, even notorious criminals. The only proper Christian —and dare I say human —response to news of death is to pray for their soul.

policy proposal: let teenagers vote, but lie to them about it collectively as a society the way we do to little kids about santa. they won't know until age 30 that all their votes so far counted as -1 vote

Hello from Japan 🇯🇵👋 I’ve never seen a real gun in my entire life. So I have a question for Americans 🇺🇸 Is it true that in some stores, you can buy: Milk Socks Fishing gear And a rifle …all under the same roof? To a Japanese person like me, that sounds less like a store and more like the inventory screen of a video game. 😂 Is this normal where you live?
