@visegrad24 BBC Editorial Guidelines mandate 'due impartiality' on social issues, even those with no legitimate second perspective. Child rape is one. Applying political neutrality to it isn't bias - it's structural. The guidelines are the mechanism, not conscious editorial motive.

The BBC portrays an indebted Afghan father selling his 7-year-old twin daughters into sexual slavery with adult men as a man who is forced to make difficult choices 🇦🇫

"According to Jesus we're supposed to turn the other cheek when we're hurt, right?" "Yes. In Jesus' time, a person that backhanded your cheek was treating you as lesser. So you turn the other cheek, forcing them to strike you as an equal." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "The contention is that immigrants are allowed to treat us as lesser because they come from incompatible cultures and attack us. But we can't then tell them no, because that's 'racist'." "That seems contrary to what Jesus taught." "It is, and amazingly so. Non-Christians often seize on the idea that Jesus advocated for non-violence to tell Christians to shut up and take what's being done to them." "Are you sure that's what Jesus taught? It's not like you could ask him personally. He predates you by a millennium, right?" "Jesus makes the same point with the story of giving away your cloak, and with going the extra mile. In the latter's case, a Roman soldier could make an Israelite carry anything like a pack mule for up to a mile. It was a humiliation. But Jesus told them to carry it another mile, to treat the Roman as you would a friend, which would both shame them and force them to treat you as a person instead of a mule." "What about the cloak?" "When you're poor and living in an ancient society, your cloak is vital for getting through the cold nights. In Jesus' time, it was common to get around this by demanding the other person give you their shirt. But if you give them the cloak as well, it is a deliberate provocation: if they take the shirt and cloak, they will be shamed by the community." "And... the good samaritan?" "The point was the man who was a neighbor was not the priest or the Levite, but the one who showed mercy to his neighbor. It doesn't say 'everyone is your neighbor', in fact it states the opposite rather plainly. It's your actions that make you a neighbor, NOT your ethnicity." "So, not everyone is your neighbor?" "The neighbor shows mercy to those who have been hurt." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "Nothing. They've decided it means that you must allow immigrants to raid and attack you and treat you like garbage without retaliation of any sort. You can't even say 'stop it' without being declared racist." "Then why did he bring up Christianity at all?" "Because he's not a Christian and doesn't understand it."

@owenbroadcast Reject Klingon, Esperanto, etc. Embrace KJV English.

hard to believe if you raised a kid speaking only very high proper KJV style english to him, that’d be his native tongue: you’d have a 3 year old asking “where doth mine toy be?” and such. has anyone done this today. unclear it would even count as unethical child experimentation

@Hintzeboy5 @OhYeahy34177961 @adrianflynn @carbo_al They want your alt-history lore

@OhYeahy34177961 @adrianflynn @carbo_al Fine come up with a different name for the country

I understand this post more and more

@3LandObserver @thaddeusthought Good work bringing in the source

@thaddeusthought It looks like this is the source: x.com/graphiccons/st… *Not* a quote from G. K. Chesterton, but rather an original quote from an account whose name includes "Chesterposting", which apparently created the confusion.

They're saying you need to touch pew. They're saying you should go confess and be forgiven in Jesus' name in a band meeting. They're saying you should become accountable to a class meeting.

@eigenrobot @ChristianityOn whats the ea community say about this? Where is the line between reducing unnecessary shrimp suffering and calling for tick multi-xenocide. Is it the size of the creature? The possession of an exoskeleton? Only semi-satirical here.

genuinely is anyone working on this?

this is one of those discoveries that feels like history literally whispering back to us. Imagine ancient scrolls buried for nearly 2,000 years under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius suddenly starting to speak again. Mind blown. These aren’t just any scrolls—they’re the Herculaneum papyri, so badly burned and fragile that they used to be basically unreadable. Until now.

Ancient scrolls buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, have yielded a remarkable new discovery about one of history's greatest philosophers. Italian researchers using artificial intelligence and advanced imaging technologies have deciphered text from the Herculaneum papyrus scrolls that reveals the precise burial location of the Greek philosopher Plato. Plato is now believed to have been laid to rest in a secret garden near a sacred shrine to the Muses inside the Platonic Academy of Athens, a spot reserved specifically for him. Previously, scholars only knew he was buried somewhere within the academy, but the exact location had remained a mystery for centuries. The newly read text also sheds light on Plato's final night alive, and it turns out he was not pleased with the entertainment. A slave woman from Thrace had been playing flute music at his bedside, and it had long been assumed the music brought him comfort. But the deciphered text tells a different story — Plato, despite suffering from a high fever, reportedly found the music had a "scant sense of rhythm" and was openly bothered by it. The scrolls also clarify the timeline of when Plato was sold into slavery, placing the event earlier than previously believed — either in 399 BC or 404 BC, rather than 387 BC. The discovery came through the Greek Schools project, a five-year European Union-funded research initiative using optical coherence tomography and infrared hyperspectral imaging to read text from the fragile, charred papyri. The decipherment of the Herculaneum scrolls continues to reshape our understanding of the ancient world in profound ways. Each newly revealed passage has the potential to overturn long-held assumptions about the lives and final moments of history's most influential thinkers. In Plato's case, knowing the precise location of his burial grounds and the intimate details of his last evening humanizes a figure who has often felt more like legend than man. The Greek Schools project demonstrates how modern technology can breathe new life into ancient artifacts, and as AI and imaging tools continue to advance, it is likely that the remaining roughly 1,800 scrolls from Herculaneum will offer even more surprises, potentially rewriting portions of classical history that scholars have long considered settled. #archaeohistories

@saturnine_grace Christianity on the Spectrum. Method Ministries. Anything with Nicholas Quinten on it.

What are some good *theology* podcasts i should check out? I already know some theory, philosophy, esoterica ones

@DemokratikNiko Hah. As a Global Methodist I'll not argue that point. So moreso Anglican that way. To my understanding the article of religion on salvation/predestination in the thirty-nine articles allows for both arminian and calvinist views. Whereas GMChurch is straight wesleyan-arminian.

@YearnForJoy Something like that. I’ve got a bit of a Calvinist/Amyraldian streak in me..it clashes with the Wesleyan-Arminian theology of the UMC but..if we’re being honest..does the UMC even do theology anymore? (J O K E)
