A flying dolphin maybe?

I can’t help but notice that the same organizations who treat the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah as “homosexuality” tend to be the same ones either engaging in or accommodating the sins of sexual violence and domination. Is it a smoke-screen? Or is it willful ignorance

Does it really matter? As someone who was sexually abused as a kid, the outcome is the same. There is a lot of lasting damage done to the kids that’s really difficult to undo later in life.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a mistranslation. You’re not going to convince evangelicals that their book is wrong.

Dude, you’re preaching to the choir on that one. I’m still not going to cry over a warehouse burned to the ground who were paying people poverty wages.

You know what else ruins the environment…billionaires hoard all the wealth and resources, yachts, private jets, huge mansions.

This is small potatoes compared to what the psychopaths in charge are doing. And don’t even get me started on the U.S. military, the largest polluted in the entire world.

Even with translation errors, not every verse mentions homosexuality explicitly, but that is clearly the intent of the passage. And that’s the context today anyway, nobody is going to go back and revise it to undo the bigoted interpretation we have today, so his argument doesn’t really matter honestly bcz that’s what people believe now.

Ugh, that’s the worst! My condolences

“Being gay” isn’t in the Bible EXCEPT for

Leviticus 18-22

22 “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.”

Leviticus 20:13

13 "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. "

Romans 1:26-27

27 “In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

Jude 1:7

7 “Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire”

1 Corinthians 6:9

10 “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

1 Corinthians 7:2

“But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.”

1 Timothy 1:8-11 ESV

“Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.”

I could go on, but you get the point. It’s clearly in the bible.

I’ve mostly blocked .ml instances. They’re super toxic and not really open to discussion at all. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Trump is just an old man with obvious cognitive decline, and possibly alzheimers like his father.

If hes the “messiah”, I want nothing to do with him bcz he’s a petty nasty person and represents the worst qualities in a human being that could possibly be expressed.

Why not both? If you look to history, people died trying to unionize and fight for better working conditions. They literally sent thugs to brutalized and kill workers who just wanted better working conditions. This is what you get when people are at their wits end.

If changing the rules fixed the system, the U.S. wouldn’t be where it’s at today. It’s not so easy to change the rules when a few people own all the media and have spent multiple decades consolidating media and power buying up judges and bribing people to write the rules in their favor.

The post literally says NASA and SpaceX. I am well aware that the project was a joint effort between many different companies. The post topic says NASA and SpaceX. Go be pedantic somewhere else.

Because it’s a post about SpaceX…

I was simply commenting on the fact that people think SpaceX is a private company. It may be a private company on paper, but it’s first contract was an ISS contract funded by tax payer dollars. To me, that’s not a private company, that’s all.

When SpaceX was founded literally all of their contracts were government contracts.

I’m not commenting on the cost, just that people get cranky when rockets blow up that they think are funded by their tax dollars.

SpaceX gets away with it and I honestly don’t know why bcz their contracts have been all government until pretty recently. But Elon Musk managed to convince people it was privately funded.

NASA funding is dependent on public opinion (well it was until recently). Blowing up rockets gets people really upset when they think it’s their tax dollars.

Somehow SpaceX has convinced people it’s a private company and not funded by government contracts and taxes.

It is posted in a meme community, not /c/SuperDuperAccurateHistory if that matters.

I don’t know anybody that uses em-dashes in day to day writing. Seems strange to brag that you do that.
