@LivesVentura@cparkin2015@JohnCleese I disagree with X" and "I hate people who do X" are not the same statement.
Most adults understand that distinction.
You keep reading hatred into the text because you've already decided that's what you want to find. ๐
@LivesVentura@cparkin2015@JohnCleese The problem is you're treating the Bible as though it's one genre.
It's not.
It's history, law, poetry, prophecy, letters, and narrative written across centuries.
If you read everything as a direct moral command from God, you're going to misunderstand a lot of it.
@LivesVentura@cparkin2015@JohnCleese Reading a book and understanding a book are not the same thing.
Your conclusion is evidence that you've done the first and failed at the second ๐
@CamiKarzy@nosoup4knowles@JamieBonkiewicz No.
I think adults are responsible for their actions, not their biology.
The fact that this even needs explaining is concerning.
@CamiKarzy@nosoup4knowles@JamieBonkiewicz That's like telling women to tell their ovaries to dodge...
Both men and women need to step up...thats the only way society will have synergy.
There's a serious lack of responsibility within the modern human race. We should be changing that.
I think having sex because it's fun is irresponsible.
I don't think you people know what duty and responsibility actual is.
Most of the time it's doing shit the hard way and it causes hardship...and that's life. It's suppose to make us stronger.
Sacrifice is dead in the modern era...and so is self awareness.
Aborting your fetus because they will suffer from lifelong pain or disabilities is the most loving thing you could do as a parent.

A girl that has to deal with Sickle Cell and all it's complications because her grandmother told her mom and dad it was a sin to abort her.
You literally just googled things that would prove your point...instead of reading the actual bible.
Reading a verse from the bible isnt reading the bible. It also doesn't mean you have an understanding about what you are reading.
That's why you can throw qoutes out without even knowing what the hell is going on in those verses ๐
Imagine reading a novel like that...or a history book like that.
You are not even cherry picking, you just lack basic understanding...which is worse.
Jesus was a good man, even historically, and most people would rather follow a good man.
I suggest you read what he preached.
@Thiohna What's mental is the privelaged position you take...you know, since you are someone who is already born.
Like do you people see yourselves as superior or something?
@Manxbred@SzymusiakJohn@JohnCleese That's a quote from a character in a parable, not a command from Jesus.
By that logic, every villain in every story represents the author's personal beliefs. That's not how storytelling works. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
This may seem wild and like a retarded question...but why not just implement a national ID? Everyone has to get a US a ID...you know, like in South Africa?
