I walk that fine line of not necessarily believing in the stories of the bible as true, but also not thinking it’s shit

I promise there’s a balance there, but I walk a razors edge my friends

Hopefully I can be on

Kinda

I don’t agree with him on everything, but on the Bible I mostly agree.

To be fair you don’t have to@price the Bible is true, just that it’s not shit

A much easier task

Prove*

Damn

Glad we’re starting up with a softball question

Then u run into the problem that since morality so human made and subjective, it becomes asinine

Nice

How can we objectively decide between an honest read of the Bible and a dishonest one? Once you start examining metaphor you enter a world of interpretation, which is subjective of course. So how can one understand anything but the literal reading of the Bible as objectively honest?

Does a vacuum not count as nothing?

Fair @Buddha

However during the townhall Trav said we shouldn’t read it 100% literally but do a more “honest read” so that’s what prompted the question

If all morality is subjective how can you call the Bible, or anything else for that matter, a bad/failed moral authority?

Agh I get off work on 2 hours

Will probably miss it😓

Elaborate

Sad

Sure

@m.miller now I’m just lonely

Lmk if

Meaning is not given to man

It is created by man

Define meaning

Define meaning

I need to@lock you in a room with Jordan Peterson

It’d be entertaining

Bit of a strawman but great meme nonetheless

He wasn’t doing anything wrong per se, I think we was speaking in good faith, I’m just worried about him

Working on an article for that right now!

Isn’t the battlefield free?

I hope your interested.

For his new book

I’d imagine

But nice

French revolutions sucked

Many historians are idiots it seems

They replaced a monarchy with mob rule

Then mob rule was undone by a different mob

Then a military dictator

Then monarchy again

They tore it all down without a plan what to build afterwards

That’s what makes it different from US

Exactly

I noticed the parallel a few weeks ago

Scary shit

I mean American revolution

Loved it

Lots of secret racists in your chat rn @ThePangburn

Well

I need to do more r search on the topic. I’d Be against circumcision if it can be demonstrated as a harmful.

Obviously not

Maybe Truth

How about pierced ears

Of young kids?

(I’m playing devils advocate for the record I’m not really decided on this yet)

Why not? Is it just the pain factor?

Because I’m not sure how pierced ear really affect well being

No

Spanking hurts too

Yeah my only qualm is that I’ve seen conflicting data on health benefits and risks

If that data wasn’t conflicting I wouldn’t be arguing atm

We cut umbilical cords too

If it’s demonstrated to be harmful I got no problem

That all

So a parent is never allowed to cause their child any pain for any reason

What about vaccine shots?

The fact the link ends at black.... is hilarious

I’m referring specifically to wardawgs argument about causing pain

But that is due to botched surgeries right? Not procedures successfully carried out right?

I’m mostly concerned about STD and hygiene stuff

You potentially kill ur child whenever u decide to take an airplane ride

I thought I just said there were some benefits?

Do we know there are health downsides to a successfully executed circumcision?

Okay. That’s a downside

?

I realize botches are bad

I can look it up myself

I’m saying that just because botches exist doesn’t mean that the entire thing should be thrown out

I’m playing devils advocate rn

@Buddha there aren’t any

Yeah I lean to your side. But before I start arguing for anything, I try to argue for the opposite

Um

No

No dude just the first bit

Yikes

No one said yes to that

What???

😘

So pleasure

That actually not a bad argument

Anything when it comes to STDs or hygiene?

Um

Ur my new favorite person

The fact that it is hotly contested is the only thing that gives me pause

We don’t leave a lot of things up to children
