Yes, bad English. To think, you of all people are calling us out on grammar. Perfect.
-
It's a two party system. How can it not be polarized? The communication revolution that has happened in our lifetimes just makes it more visible and easy to exploit.

Oh for saviors sake. You are still just pissed off because Biden got her released and he couldn't get the ex-military spy released.

And Warner Bros with Bugs Bunny in drag seducing Pepe Le Pew. I don't know how anyone got through their childhood in my day with even a shred of hetero normalcy intact. He has actually been cancelled now for being "rapey".

I was born in '57. All the training I got was to learn to call people fags if for some reason we wanted to dislike them. Later on we learned that is was not just accepted, but expected to beat up fags. Only later did we learn anything at all about what the word meant in a sexual context. I did not unlearn any of this shit till well into my late teens.

Conservatives seem to very easily have their feelings hurt and then meltdown like snowflakes. I do believe the word was first used by the right to make fun of the idea of everyone being different like special snowflakes. But it has long since been turned back on them. Nazis? I've never used the term myself except when speaking about, well, Nazis. It's just too easy to go all Godwin so I don't.
-
Just a long winding way of saying some snowflakes think their hurt feelings are justified because things aren't the same as they used to be.

Wendy, that is what the law is for. The law of man. There is no law of god, only mankind's interpretation of how we should live.
-
The choices we make are different. The morality has not changed.
-
You can believe there is a god in charge of those things if you want to.

And wingsuiters?

I'm sure there are "very fine people on both sides".
-
Why wouldn't they? Moral principles are no different now then they were long before 2K years ago. The key is right there in your post, "cherry picked". Despite any religion in the world dominating the local area and claiming to follow god the reality is that all of us are subject to the laws of man as enforced where we happen to live. God has no enforcement mechanism and therefore no power.

It could be. I didn't see that because I don't see his "posts".

In the stories I read she was gracious in defeat although the campaign was quite nasty.

Sigh....this was about Brittney Griner, why do we always end up on religion? Edit, i know why. Because after thread was nearly dead Ron tossed a smoke grenade into the room and we all put on our gas masks and took up the fight. Looking back I can see that Ron does not believe she is female, and yet feels she is a homosexual sinner because she is married to a woman. That is the twisted world view some people can hold.

I was baptized Anglican, almost as corrupt. The point is that arguing about the meaning of the bible, whatever version you chose, is pointless. I try not to poke fun or point out the ridiculousness of your and Ron's and anyone else's supernatural beliefs because it is pointless as well. What I do is point out that they are all equally false. Sometimes I do fail. I don't object to christian beliefs, I object to christians thinking and behaving as if their belief system should dominate in the public sphere just because they have higher numbers than others. I don't really care what the bible says about morality, I have my own moral values and they are not offended by the idea of consenting adults enjoying sex acts with each other. Even if those acts have no chance of furthering procreation.
-
Don't you belong to a sect that divides sin into categories, venial and mortal? I believe they charge a different fee for each and other "indulgences".
-
That did look all wrong. And I'm surprise the ICC bar on that trailer didn't depart from it. That is not an approved tow point.
-
I would be among that group. But I do not claim to be christian. Even though I was baptized as a baby.
-
Complaining about lawyers is a lot like complaining about taxes. We don't like either one but we need both.
-
That's the heart of the ethos that says "kill them all and let God sort it out".
-
They will be assigned to each according to their heavenly worthiness. Since you can't take it with you they all will be working pro bono. That is their punishment.
-
As in all theological arguments it probably depends on the quality of the representation you have when you stand in front of the Lord to be judged. Yes, there will be lawyers if not in Heaven then waiting at the gates.

Religions and gods are all the same. Made up by man for control and enrichment of men.
