A Fool Am I

@bresla_linda @GBX_Press @PrezLives2022 I would think that more people would understand this, but I guess not. Just like Christianity or Islam are not monoliths in belief, so, too, is Judaism not monolithic. What's the saying, "Ask 9 rabbis for their opinion, get 10 answers"?

@GBX_Press @PrezLives2022 I'm Jewish. These guys are Jewish Nationalists. Their version of Judaism doesn't even resemble mine. Just as Christian Nationalist's beliefs bear no resemblance to the teachings of Jesus. These people are Nazis, not people of faith.

Jewish rabbis: All the billions of non-Jews in the world exist only to serve the Jews. When the Messiah comes, each Jew will have 2,800 slaves! Even now, non-Jews serve Jews; they make our cars, build our apartments and homes, and do all the work for us! (both smile)

@Naxalt_Revenge @ArtsyMarx1st Oh, shit. I wasn't expecting getting a free book today. Thanks, mate!

@AFoolAmI @ArtsyMarx1st drive.google.com/file/d/13HbhjB…

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.

@Naxalt_Revenge @ArtsyMarx1st I'm familiar with Carrier's work, though only through interviews with him. That book specifically is on my reading list

@AFoolAmI @ArtsyMarx1st then you should read this, because there is zero evidence jesus existed.

@ayanakajima3 We're just waiting for your official translation into English, Nishitani-sensei

Although I coined the term "Megami Tensei," it can be interpreted in various ways. I believe the translation "Reincarnation of the Goddess" makes it clear that this is a story about the reincarnation of the goddess Izanami. For that reason, I felt this was a wonderful title.

@esjesjesj Considering my grandfather was an engineer for NASA during the events of the film Hidden Figures, he'd be perfectly fine with women going to the Moon

I think the first woman to go to the moon should be able to take whatever fucking picture she wants without some nazi virgin commenting about it

Yes, I can agree. Just like Christianity uses the same language. Religion has no place in a rational society

@Dantes61215 No. For instance, I don't acknowledge Allah as the true God any more than I acknowledge יהוה as the true God, or Jesus. I follow what flows through naturalistic philosophy, and none of the above prove themselves to be deities

@AFoolAmI So if the imagination of some man can come up with a less than rational explanation you will exalt that over the logical explanation of the infinite mind? That is known as suppressing the truth.

The Bible knows nothing of the globe, it only shows a flat earth. Maybe we shouldn't be getting scientific advice from the Bible

@UClaiminYouReal Congrats, you two! 🎊🎊🎊

I did a thing today! I married my best friend. Forever 4/3 💎 #KUWTC

@Dantes61215 Then what evidence has he given that isn't also proven by naturalistic explanations?

@AFoolAmI Unfortunately this isn’t a game. You have a creator. He has given you all the evidence you need. “The heavens declare the glory of God,, the sky shows forth His handy work.” The universe cannot be here by “chance”. Chance is a no thing. It is nothing.

@TheUglyPhoto @ArtsyMarx1st I understand what you're going for now, and I don't believe that fully explains the mythicism of Jesus

@AFoolAmI @ArtsyMarx1st I’m talking about the 7 Sages. They were depicted like this all over the world. In Sumerian mythology Adapu was the first of the Sages. Adapu sounds a bit like the Jesus archetype. I wasn’t saying the literal story of Jesus went to those places.

@elsleightholm And before you ask, I have a postcard postmarked from the USS Hornet on the day they recovered the Apollo 11 capsule. NASA runs in my blood

@elsleightholm Omg, this is a total follow. My grandpa, who worked on the Apollo 11 and 12 flights as an engineer, would be proud of you, and I am, too. You are amazing

Planning some “Mathematics of Artemis II” content 🚀 What concepts do you want explaining? :) I want to showcase the beauty of mathematics and the wonderful places it shows up in space flight 🌝

It's all fairytale bullshit.

@Dantes61215 I don't really have to, because I've seen Strobel's analysis on the same, and it still doesn't convince me. Also, something from the 18th Century doesn't convince me any more than The Coming Prince does from the 19th Century, and we know what Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy was

@AFoolAmI You are reading things into what Paul is saying. 500 people say the man alive who most saw him condemned to death and crucified. Did you look at Professor Greenleaf’s analysis?

@Dantes61215 Notice he doesn't name a single source. Why? Because he still believes that Jesus is coming back in his lifetime. He didn't. Paul died at the hands of Nero without seeing the Second Coming

@AFoolAmI You needed to start a little earlier my friend. 1 Corinthians 15:6 “After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.” Simon Greenleaf who wrote books on courtroom evidence. That’s sufficient.

@Koopdeville09 @whatzwzitz1 Please tell me you think all the research on the Bible was written contemporaneously with the books

@AFoolAmI @whatzwzitz1 1998. Please tell me you think the Bible was written then.

@TheUglyPhoto @ArtsyMarx1st The Jesus narratives borrow heavily from Greco-Roman mythology (for instance, Dionysus and Romulus myths), and it's highly unlikely that Chinese or Meso-American myths would have factored in

@ArtsyMarx1st @AFoolAmI Yeah Jesus could have been all of them too (spiritually). Probably started with Adapu, the first of the 7 Sages. The shiny one/serpent beings. Like Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan in Mexico, Fuxi and Nuwa in China, the Nagas in Hinduism, the serpent in the Garden, etc.

@harmonic_shift @latinedisce Hell yes, running water. It's amazing. Bidet, washing your hands, showering... Just the concept of keeping clean is better than the Romans

@AFoolAmI @latinedisce 100% That or a bidet is better. Also being able to wash hands and have access to purified water on demand for the vast majority of the population, it is significantly better.

Name ONE thing that’s better today than in Ancient Rome. I dare you.

@latinedisce @harmonic_shift Yes, plumbing. TP is better than having a communal sponge

@harmonic_shift Plumbing? Seriously?

@whatzwzitz1 @brieche52084083 Thank you, friend! I sure will cherish that time. We went on an Easter egg hunt earlier today. I've also followed you, btw. I'd like more friendly discourse. It's really great

No worries, I don’t really mean to sound hostile, mostly sarcastic, but I can see how it would seem so. I’m working on it. The internet doesn’t lend itself to friendly discourse. I think of it like driving on the highway. You say things when anonymous to people you can’t interact with directly that you would say face to face. Have a great weekend. Cherish the time with your toddler, it is precious.
