lol, the whole violin thing was Flavian propaganda used to distance themselves from Nero. It was propaganda then, and it's propaganda now. Sounds like wishful thinking to me - good luck with that. Maybe he'll start killing hoards of Christians too.

DJL and Weber suggested Greta's Regrets or No Regretas back in October. Yobs also suggested Thunberg's Tears.

Hey Lalor, just noticed this thread. Hope all is well and that you're on your way to a full recovery.

Examples of which I'm sure will be forthcoming... Nah, that was just a bit of satire/mild hyperbolic humor, but it was inspired by several threads where people were going on about how the Bible refers to the moon as the "lesser light," when in fact the moon is no light at all! It just reflects sunlight! Yet everyone here has most likely referred to it as moonlight, rather than stellar reflection. Just as they call it a beautiful sunset, not a beautiful earth rotation.

You got me there, your dick jokes made it all the way up to 7th grade. But seriously, Jerry is one of the biggest culprits of selective quoting out of context.

I'm inclined to believe you on this. If Trump had said it, I'd go outside to check. If Trump said it, you people would say "liar, idiot! Doesn't the dotard know that the sun doesn't actually rise?"

Crypto market is pissing me off right now - bunch of pussies, lol. It's time to start doubling down folks!

Not me, and even my OCD wife has not suggested that I do so. I don't really do it much anymore. If anything I'll use some hand sanitizer. I don't even remember/know why I started doing it in the first place. I just remember doing it and then thought, hey that kinda makes sense. Kinda like wiping your ass with wet wipes. I mean, if you got shit on your arm, would you just wipe it with a dry napkin and then go about your business?

I know, right? The mother in law calls like 3 times a day talking about it along with all her other nonsense, gossip and two-faced shit talk. Mother in law - "blah, blah, blah, are you worried, are you worried?" Wife - "Um, no, not particularly." Mother in law - "well you should be, it's coming to Michigan." I guess I should be happy that I'm not the one that has to talk to her about it - woman would drive me nuts. . .but I still love her. That is weird wild stuff - I did not know that. Thanks!

Don't forget the reach around. Just don't forget to wash your hands first. Speaking of that, do any other guys wash their hands before taking a leak, or is that just me?

Any beer that requires a lime to be palatable is unworthy of consideration. Ugh, I'm getting nauseated just thinking about it even with the lime, especially when considering all the fecal matter left on the peel. I saw a bartender grab a handful of limes with her bare hands a few weeks ago as a prop for one of her lame lime jokes, and then she just threw them back in the container. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I've grown particularly sensitive to the idea of germs ever since having to care for a loved one with a compromised immune system.

What the Holy Hell is the Law of Grace? Is that from your pastor? Nah, It just popped out. It's just a play on words. It's actually not a law at all, but denotes the idea of being under the Law vs Grace.
-
Doesn't it? Imagine living in a country where women are forced to shave their heads. I would find that to be quite an important thing. I'd have thought that whether or not a religion/deity demands it should be equally important to a believer. Given the Law of Grace, I'm initially led to believe that this has nothing to do with salvation and therefore feel no inclination to delve into it at this point. Tho I will say that given the text, it appears to have less to do with women and more to do with the relationship between a husband and wife and how it relates to their relationship with Christ and the image it projected throughout society at that time.

It strikes me as odd that the manual for life the universe and everything written by the creator of all mankind is so difficult for mankind to correctly decipher. I really hope it's not at all important to follow the instructions it contains, because by the sound of it hardly anyone knows what they actually are, whether they believe or not. What I've learned so far is sufficient for me on a personal level. Right, because whether or not a woman should shave her head bears a tremendous amount of spiritual value on my life.

Hmmm..... also, what seems like sliming away to you feels like the thread drifting off in a new direction to me. Thread drift is fine, but if you don't acknowledge or just ignore a sincere response just because you don't like the direction it's going and demonstrates how you were wrong, then you're just moving the goal posts, changing the subject and being evasive in an attempt at misdirection.

None. I understand that people who believe think that Paul, who “met” Christ after his death when he appeared as a “ghost”, or spirit, feel that his writings are a revealed truth. Fine, but that's not what we're talking about. Nigel did this earlier. You guys start talking about one thing, and then when I pin you down, you just try to slime your way out onto another topic or idea.
-
It is not a contemporaneously created account. Like all of the New Testament it was spun from whole cloth years after the deaths of the supposed participants. While the painstaking task of scribal transmission of NT writings wasn't as meticulous as that of the OT, the general consensus among both secular and non-secular scholars is that the manuscripts for most of the Pauline epistles are authentic and reliable transmissions of mid 1st century letters written by Paul. They are comparing multiple manuscripts of the same writings from different regions with all the other tools available to modern day scientists/scholars to draw these conclusions. What's your level of expertise in paleography and textual criticism?
-
The specific text in question is not considered an ancient fable, not even by secular scholars. If you were thinking critically, you'd know that.
-
Not sure what that has to do with the OP and what we were actually talking about, but I never really looked into the context, so i don't have an answer off the top of my head. Maybe you could tell me? If you're willing to show a bit of good faith effort and do a little research of your own, I'd be happy to take a look into it and point out where you're wrong. For starters you'll probably want to find out what prompted Paul to address this issue in the first place. Then you'll want to delve into the historical, cultural and circumstantial context of this specific Church in Corinth, and then compare it with other churches/customs in other regions whether started by Paul or not. Then after coming to your own conclusion, take a look at some commentaries and what other scholars are saying about it. (both religious and secular scholars) I mean that's how I would do it. I know you people are into critical thinking and all that jazz, so it shouldn't be that hard for you, right?
-
Haha, how righteous of you. Every single Christian I have ever met cherry picks and manipulates the bible to fit their agenda. No cherry picking/manipulation needed - that's on you. The verse is clearly talking about those who are unwilling/refuse to work.
-
I think it's if you refuse to work. You seem to keep missing these little details. You did that last time with Proverbs.
-
I'm guessing you're more like the "sending vibes" type?

Big brother could let you know how many hours you watched and sat, and charge you accordingly. You get tax credit for video workouts - they will have to verify you by facial recognition. I was thinking they could just add a fee to all the other obscure charges. My bill simple calls it "other charges." Cable companies know exactly what you watch and when you watched it. If you don't use a VPN, they also know everywhere you've been online. It's weird how we give companies/apps all this access to our personal lives and people act like it's no big deal, but if uncle sam takes a peek, we'd all flip out.

Then how do you feel about surcharges for people who engage in hazardous hobbies? Would it hurt to tax those things like Billvon noted above wrt to alcohol/drugs? We could probably take a portion of speeding tickets and other fines for traffic violations/misdemeanors/risky driving, etc. We could also have a couch potato tax on cable TV and junk food.
