@ShlomoSolomons @danker_hank Most intersex people don‘t even know they‘re intersex. What are you talking about?

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@QueenMab87 @gothichijabi And „divine punishment“ is short for „punishment by whoever is in power at that time, largely, and kind of specifically: men“

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@QueenMab87 @gothichijabi Lutheran Protestants (my background) don‘t really either. My (vague) understanding is, that Lutheran and Jewish understanding of sin are not too dissimilar. Doesn‘t change the fact that the concept of sin creates an arbitrarily enforceable set of rules open to divine punishment.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@QueenMab87 @gothichijabi Is there or is there not Divine punishment in Judaism?

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@QueenMab87 @gothichijabi Sin is actually such a perfect example of what I‘m talking about, and what makes Abrahamic religions so uniquely philosophically rotten. It’s a morality completely unmoored from any material reality. So thanks for bringing that up!

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@QueenMab87 @gothichijabi All Abrahamic religions define sin slightly differently to fit their theological and political agendas. The fact that „sin“ exists in all of them shows pretty clearly that the cloth they‘re cut from is the same.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@gothichijabi Of course there are differences between Catholics and Muslims. But the underlying patriarchy and paternalism are still the same.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@gothichijabi I know enough people. And think you‘re confusing the colour with the core.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@gothichijabi @AShatlaa I wish I saw the connection to the claim that people were „forcibly being converted to atheism“ in the 1700s. This massive influence you imagine atheists to have on policy and culture is simply ahistorical.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@gothichijabi The Abrahamic religions at their core really are all are the same moral, ethical and philosophical turd, just spray-painted in different colours. Christian Europe notably also had pretty strict gender segregation until fairly recently. You just don‘t see me defending that.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@AShatlaa @gothichijabi That never happened, my dude!

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@gorgon3211 @gothichijabi Secularism and „liberal monoculture“, to what extent it may even exist, are not at all synonymous. You are just pulling stuff out of your ass and call it an argument.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@AShatlaa @gothichijabi I said better at, not perfect? Again, as an atheist, I‘m the one arguing that we have primate brains.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@gorgon3211 @gothichijabi What does this word salad even mean? Wtf is a „liberal monoculture“ supposed to be?

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@NerdeenKiswani You are just a reactionary. Hope you‘re aware of that!

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@kvshlvk Queerness is really more about calling cherry a type of pie among many.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@JoyceCarolOates There is a whole academic discipline called queer studies. People who try to discredit the term generally do so with bad intentions. (In this case: marginalising trans people)

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@Interstellar_HG There is no question there is force involved here through strict social pressures.

[Deenitz @deenitz]

@faya_x0 The founder of Islam was a man. Men hold all positions of power within the faith. Giving women a few rights they didn’t have before doesn’t make it feminist. When the positions assigned to each gender are so clearly un-equal, that is textbook patriarchy. In any culture.
