I've been paying attention to this for years and i'm convinced now that modern architecture is hostile on purpose. walk into any office building built after 1970 and pay attention to what happens to your breathing. the ceilings are exactly low enough to make you feel compressed but not so low that you'd complain. the lighting is exactly wrong enough to make everyone look slightly sick. whoever designed these spaces understood something about human psychology that they are using against you. now walk into a cathedral built in the 1200s and notice that your chest opens involuntarily. someone eight hundred years ago knew which proportions make the human spirit expand and they built it into stone. it is the most serious engineering that has ever existed and we replaced it with whatever the fuck is happening in every downtown on earth right now
This is an interesting study in female “word casting”.
This woman’s tone and delivery are perfect. She’s also fluent in Christianese, where “gift from God” is the good-good word and “idol” is the bad-bad word.
In this moment, said woman feels good about young women pursuing careers, bad about young women waiting for marriage.
Therefore marriage (a literal sacramental gift from God) is an idol, and pursuing materialism in the marketplace (a literal idol) is a gift from God.
White is black and black is white, because this women’s isn’t communicating theology, she is communicating how she feels.
@WilliamWolfe Hey I’ve got a more direct one:
Complementarianism: the denial of a divinely ordered hierarchy between men and women as taught by Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 11 and 14 and 1 Timothy 2 and Genesis 2.
@StefanMolyneux I don’t know why so many people are intent on defending this idea of free will and also, here is a 2000 year old answer for a 2000 year old question:
@JoelWBerry I think these people might be a bit frustrated that you don’t feel that way about those who like to attach Christs holy reputation to the spiritual descendants of the people who crucified Christ and never repented.
