@JypsRidic @DanteHub22 @YourAnonNews Why do people like you insist on making strawman arguments that completely miss the point?

@DanteHub22 @YourAnonNews why do you want illegal aliens to steal our elections?

Fucking vote these assholes out of office. The time of reconning is at hand.

@jimmy_contour @balkanchav Was just about to say, wasn’t there a recent court ruling specifically for this?

@balkanchav How many of those 61 comments were people telling them the ©️ symbol is for copyright, not credit, and how many were telling them there are no copyrights on AI-generated content?

Imagine demanding credit for an AI photo that took you less than a minute to type in…. we’re so done for as a society

@AlexiosGraham @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike And I never asked for a history lesson, but here you are trying desperately to steer the conversation in that direction and you’re getting pissy because I won’t play along like you want. This all started out on the topic of morality anyway, not history.

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike Again, I didn't ask for your opinion.

Who is the real devil? Be honest.

According to Exodus 21:20-21, if a slaveholder beats a slave and the slave survives for a day or two before dying, the owner is not to be punished because the slave is considered their property. However, if the slave dies immediately, the owner must be punished. You can go look this up yourself if you don’t believe me. This isn’t my opinion, this is what’s literally in your holy book. Once again, an atheist is telling a believer what’s in their own religious text. Classic

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike "I don't think is true anyway" "I don't think the Bible is true" I did not ask for your opinion, and please don't lie through your teeth because Bible never literally tells me how hard I can permissibly beat slaves. And when did the nuances start to not matter?

@troy_cook7486 @ennui365 Pediatricians are literally doctors who know about medical care for kids. Was this supposed to be a rhetorical question that sided with politicians? Because you failed hard at that one

@ennui365 Who do you think knows what is best for Trans kids? Politicians or Pediatricians?

@AlexiosGraham @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike Do better dude. You don’t need the Bible for anything in the modern era because the vast majority of it is culturally bunk anyway. Don’t know what else to tell you

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike When confronted about what slaves should do when obeying is their only option, you dodge it and stated your opinion about the matter when no one even asked.

My entire point is that the “nuances of the Scriptures” don’t matter because it’s all just in the service of promoting a religious narrative that I don’t think is true anyway. Just like you don’t think the Qur’an is true, I don’t think the Bible is true. Would you ever devote any significant amount of time studying the Qur’an extensively? Almost certainly not. And I do care about slavery because I’m a humanist, and the fact that the Bible literally tells you how hard you can permissibly beat your slave is why I think it’s a worthless guide for morality considering the widespread modern moral stance against slavery that seem self-evident in the 21st century.

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike Just say that cherry picking and plain reading of the texts is your forte. You don't care about slavery, you're more focused on trying to shield your ignorance then looking more closely on the nuances of the Scriptures. Look, you're even avoiding to go in that path.

@AlexiosGraham @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike Religious lesson, not history lesson. My bad

How many other holy texts of other religions have you studied extensively to genuinely understand their contexts? If your answer is none because you don’t think they’re true and worth extensively studying because of it, there’s my answer to you. The Bible to me is just another religious text in a sea of religious texts that have existed throughout human history, most of which have become recognized as mythology which is what will happen to the Bible given enough time. Keep your history lesson, I’m going to focus on the real world because that’s a much better use of my time.

No, I rightfully recognize it for what it is, a bunch of stories and rules written by men in an age when people didn’t know where the sun went at night. Virtually every Christian I’ve ever talked to is who thinks it’s an eternal rule book for morality. Again, you’re bringing up irrelevant points. This is the fact of the matter: the Bible doesn’t explicitly condemn slavery anywhere in its pages when slavery is an open-and-shut case in the 21st century on the basis of morality. This is what clearly shows it’s a product of its time in this regard as well as many others, like the obvious general inferiority of women to men presented in it because, again, it was clearly written by men from a pre-Enlightenment age. If you have to be a comprehensive ancient historian just to “correctly” interpret the Bible, then the Bible isn’t actually worth a damn on the salvation front, which is what Christianity is supposed to be all about.

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike You actually thought that the Bible is an eternal rule book for morality? No wonder why you're reckless. Those who assumed it is a rulebook of morality is stupid. It is not a product of its time either because if it is, then philosophers of that time won't find it strange.

@bestofstarwar This is easily the best part of this movie

“I genuinely can't understand how the previous generation saw this in 1999 and said "this sucks".”

That wasn’t what I was asking. Name all the “hard line and far left extremists” currently in power in Washington D.C. When you start actually listing them off, you’ll see how patently ridiculous it is to call people like Chuck fucking Shumer “hard line and far left extremist”. Assholes like you have pushed the Overton window so far to the right that slightly-left-of-center individuals are now considered “hard line and far left extremists”. Do better, Jesus Christ!

@logiboi32 @_saltyaf @gayguycandleco Well, they oppose enforcement of federal immigration law, and refuse to compromise on the issue. So that's hard line and far left extremism.

Something people seem to keep forgetting: When you are in the majority, it is your duty, your responsibility, to govern. If your majority can’t produce the votes necessary to get something done, it is your job to compromise and bring over members of the minority to support your effort. If you can’t do that, you are to blame. They are the minority, they don’t owe you support in your quest as the majority. This practice of blaming members of the minority party for the majority’s inability to govern is bullshit. Republicans control the White House, the House, and the Senate. It is their duty to govern. If you are waiting in a TSA line, call Republicans in Congress. They’re in charge.

@AlexiosGraham @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike All you’re doing with this is proving that the Bible is clearly a product of its time and not actually some eternal rule book for morality. And you really thought you were cooking here lol

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike Irrelevant? If it preserves the life of the slaves? You want the Early Christians to recklessly announced their denouncement of slavery when at that time the Christians themselves were oppressed by the Empire itself because for them, worshipping s crucified man is a scandal!

@AlexiosGraham @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike This is irrelevant. Stick to the actual topic

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike The Roman Empire imposed brutal laws against slaves who runaway, rebel, and disobey. The punishments are the following: -Torture -Flogging -Public shaming -Branding and Tattooing -Hard Labor -Throwing to Wild Animals -Mass Execution (for the murder of master) -Crucifixion

That question is entirely irrelevant. I’m not interested in the customs of the time, I’m interested in why there is no explicit denouncement of slavery in the book that’s supposed to be the foundation for all morality despite the fact that in the 21st century slavery is one of the clearest cut cases of immorality. Stick to the actual topic

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike To you it is, but I ain't asking for your opinion, let's go back to the situation upon the time the Epistle of Peter was written, shall we? Do you know the punishments a master could give to his slaves when they are disobedient, rebellious, or tried to runaway?

Grok wrecked you, dumbass. If you had to evenly apply the same rigor of “justified true belief” to god as you do to facts, you’re not going to come out looking good. Theists know this, which is why they always have to fall back on “faith”. Clarity indeed wins, and there’s no actual clarity on gods which is what the original post was all about lol Now take your pedantic point and shove it up your pretentious ass

Agreed—demanding consistent standards sharpens any inquiry. Just as "theory" in science means a rigorously tested explanatory framework (not a mere guess), epistemology treats knowledge as justified true belief, a precise subset of belief. Fair play means applying that rigor evenly to claims about faith, facts, or gods. Clarity wins.

@SubduedRadical @_saltyaf @gayguycandleco Name all the “hard line far left extremists” that are in power on the Democrat side in Washington D.C.? Take all the time you need

No, it doesn't. It rewards Democrats being hard line far left extremists because Republicans get blamed no matter what. Look at this issue: On Tuesday, Republicans agreed to 7 of the 9 things Democrats wanted. That's a compromise. What did Democrats do? They refused to accept it. They got 77% of what they wanted and said "Well, no".

The entire premise of a statement like that is that there are slaves and there are masters, and the slave should always be obedient to the master. Sounds like a pretty clear endorsement of the permissibility of slavery to me. If the Bible is actually as moral as you lot like to bang on about then at the very least God could’ve put something in there about how slavery is bad and should be refrained from. Jesus gave a whole laundry list of things that people shouldn’t do. Wouldn’t have been hard at all to slip slavery onto that laundry list of other things God was displeased with.

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike No, you're assuming that the writer is allowing slavery when it does not really say it. Are you opposed that slaves should obey their masters regardless of the treatment? If you are, what should they do then?

@AlexiosGraham @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike Because the Bible was written/compiled by literate, relatively powerful men in a time long before slavery was widely considered a human rights violation

@logiboi32 @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike And why do you think is that?

@AlexiosGraham @happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike “Slaves, submit to your masters with total respect, not only to those who are good and kind but also to those who are harsh.” 1 Peter 2:18, EHV

@happyness292 @Orahkelvin @_Ochiedike What does the Scriptures say about slavery?
