Wife and I doing kid's church ministry.
We obviously have to play with and entertain the kids, especially because we're doing the littler ones (2's & 3's).
One grabbed my hand today and very purposefully wanted to show me something, leading me around.
My heart melted for him
@CounterApologis Less in slaughter, more “defending one’s home, defending your loved ones, conquering evil (presumably fighting abject evil like demons would be good?)” etc.
And yeah, I get that.
@AStrasser116 Oooh, this'll be good. I was listening to Ben Shaprio and he said "The AI people are all effective altruists. You know, the Sam Bankman Freid polycule types?" so it's quite potent in the culture still.
@ActualCorn@CounterApologis Mr. Corncob,
You don't need to be a cuck for private systems. You can just acknowledge the merits of them without simping for centrally planned economic sectors.
Again, adjusting the for those factors, the U.S. typically ranks near the middle of the pack in health outcomes.
@CounterApologis@ActualCorn This is a little silly. Adj. for car accidents, gun deaths like suicide, and our propensity for poor lifestyles with regard to things like food, our health outcomes are good.
On top of that, our system delivers innovation. There’s a reason people come here for cancer treatment.
What are the implications for non-Pauline authorship of 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus?
I'm already on the fence re: Biblical Inerrancy and was pretty thoroughly convinced by Adelstein's substack, but haven't really grappled with implications of dropping the view / cashing it out.
@Joe_ICHTHUS@Alfredovich65 lol I could not strain my faculties like that.
I've always been more of a W.L.C. inerrantist "The Bible is true in all that it teaches (theologically)" type, but Crummitt and Adelstein had a pretty good podcast a few days ago and it presented some questions.
@JoelWBerry@BFrankzetta At the very least that has to include within the definition of propositional nation the tenet that 'we have the ability to enact policies to make sure we don't become an ethnic minority in our nation' because otherwise, Israeli Jews would never co-sign?
