What if we flipped the labels?
Just call the real ones “carrots.”
The ones grown with chemicals?
Call them “chemical carrots” — and make the producers list every chemical used right on the pack.
Pretty sure our shopping habits would change fast.
Karen Bass just violated election law here. She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it. Well, those days are over. We just filed a formal complaint for illegally gaming the election. We must protect our democracy.
Electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. Soliciting votes at a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. These clear violations show a reckless disregard for the rule of law and our democratic process. Someone in a position of power should be especially respectful of our democratic laws, but this is just emblematic of Karen's mafia-like regime. It's "rules for thee, but not for me".
Here is the formal complaint we filed this morning. We will uphold the rule of law and our democratic norms. Enjoy your conference calls with your lawyers, Karen!
That is one of the weakest arguments in moral theology, and it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what the New Testament is actually doing.
Islam has detailed juridical rulings on sexual release. The Talmud legislates the sleeping position of a man. Ancient legal codes, across cultures, operate by the same logic, they anticipate every human impulse and regulate it from the outside. They Enumerate sin, build the fence and close the gap.
Jesus did something structurally different.
The New Covenant does not govern by enumeration. It governs by transformation. Jeremiah prophesied it when it was said that God would write His law on their hearts, not stone. Ezekiel added the mechanism; “a new spirit within you”. What Christ inaugurates is not a longer legal code but a moral formation so thorough that the regenerate conscience simply knows what dishonors God, without needing a specific verse to cite chapter and verse on.
This is why Jesus did not mention abortion. He also did not mention trafficking children for organs. The silence is not implicit permission, but it is the assumption that a heart genuinely remade by the Spirit of God would not require those things spelled out.
And the deeper irony the argument can never survive is that the same Jesus who “never mentioned abortion” entered the world as a fetus. He was knit in a womb. He was recognized as Lord by a child still inside Elizabeth’s womb. The incarnation is not a silence on unborn life but you can say it is the loudest possible statement on it.
The argument from silence only works if you think Christianity is a legal code with exploitable gaps. But fortunately it is not. It is a life, given to produce lives that know, without being told, what life is worth.
im saying theres no such thing as altruistic because thoughts cost. the body wants payment for that cost and Love as a verb is way more expensive than Honoring the being one *would* love at, to help cool logic make hypopthalamus-memories that dont have bodytalk atrophy, else less, than Love causes inside when there isnt payback for wffort. Wu Wei is much easier when the limbic isnt overactive. like breathing. Honoring as active verb is emotional self-choice control
