The Congress TikTok thing is so stupid and any congressperson who voted for it is either stupid, or willing to sign their name to stupid things in order to get elected.

Every temple or church (or door) is entered through those two pillars. The negative space between them is eternity/paradise.
God has no enemy. God contains everything. If you actually feared God, you'd be more worried about yourself and your actions in the world than self-righteously propagating a dying myth in order to make yourself feel superior to all the unwashed.

No. There were also urban Christians who were also Hellenistic and educated. Christian theology is built on neo-Platoism because the New Testament is completely bereft of theology. There is nothing there.

Ummm...the Christians were persecuted for about 8-10 years under the Roman Empire.
They did much worse to the Pagani (“Pagan” means “country hick”). Once the right-wing Christians achieved power, they brutally wiped temples from the earth, massacred tens of thousands of innocent polytheists and killed people like Hypatia.
The Christian emperors were brutal military dictators who equated the Roman Imperial Throne with God’s will.

As some of you may know - for a number of reasons - I'm not fan of the use of the singular "they" to describe and posit a known absence of gender.
But I think I may be changing my mind specifically because of the consternation, frustration and outrage it causes to conservatives and religions bigots.

I thought the science on masks says they are a way to protect other people from you, not you from other people.
If this is true:
1) Masks don’t work to prevent Covid unless you have Covid and you are within the window of contagion.
2) Considering the vaccinated many times don’t even know they’re sick, the only way masks will work to prevent Covid is if every human being on the planet wears them in public for all eternity.
This is not a reasonable solution.

The existence of conservatives/hard-liners/right-wingers in any and all given cultures and ethnicities necessitates that there will be ethno nationalist Israelis who will hate Palestinians as a ethnicity and will advocate their destruction.
To call criticism of such Israelis “anti-Semitic” is Orwellian. And to deny the existence of such Israelis is to fall into the anti-Semitic trap of all Jews are (or should be) the same.

@npub1khx…geyg Evolution created women’s bodies to birth and nurse children. As long as women weren’t in the process of being pregnant, nursing and caring for infants there is no reason to believe some of them hunted.
I think it’s right that agriculture created stricter gender roles because agricultural settlements were targets for raids and you needed a collective defense that wasn’t dependent on the age of any given child.
Also evolution men are stronger and faster on average.
