did he make a plane crash by accident again?
Kevin's in a fantastic mood.
As always.
There was a time where Republicans had the majority black vote @Old Man Hound
Maybe, what I could find of actual voting demographics either start in the 1936 elections when they're democrat majority
Or talk about repressions
I found some Virginia stuff that talk about politics in virginia forming around a reconstruction party focused on the devastating effects of the post war debt.
Anything historical in the South 1865-1920 is pretty blank.
@JoJo, Kомик I don't disagree, but I'm having trouble finding the distinction between the small universal Republican surge right after the war and an actual grass roots growth that sustained itself past the end of reconstruction.
Ah okay, fair enough
Hypothesis: The Jews continue circumcision because they're building a 75' tall flesh golem of King David in Jerusalem to bring about the End Times.
Giant dick skin golem
Maybe they promote abortion for the same reason
That's dark. Talmudic temple conceptualizes golem as third temple that genocides the goy
So, the bank?
@Catboi yea, tho TIL that golem always turns on its creator.
In the Book of Samuel King David must collect 100 philistine dick skins in order to get married to his wife.
Seems like a weird way to bond with your father in law.
not even the weirdest thing in the Scriptures
If you count the ones still attached, maybe?
In another part of the Bible a prophet calls a curse on three teenagers teasing him by telling him to become an apostate (essentially by going to another temple and sleeping with temple prostitutes instead of worshipping YHWH) and God agrees and lets three bears come out and eat the the vulgar teens.
Summoning bears on your detractors is a pretty reasonable flex compared to dick collecting for father in law
But conjure animals is a druid spell, not a cleric one 🤔
Pagans confirmed
To be fair the old Testament is basically God telling, through the prophets, the Israelites to do this one thing, then the Israelites saying "lawl no", then God punishing the Israelites for disobedience and the prophets laughing in the Israelites faces repeatedly.
Definitely setting the pattern to follow 🙄
Hey, can I ask a question? Not directed at anyone in particular.
People might criticize Islam and say look in the holy books they oppress women and are oppressive and this and that, thus Islam is bad.
But akyhough christianity or Judaism has similarly controversial and regressive stuff in their holy books, it is not framed similarly. You can ignore it and not focus on it
Why is that? Any takers?
You're just talking about the books themselves right?
Not the actual practice that takes place?
lmao
I don't know what it is in Christianity one would consider 'regressive' but even granting that point I really don't care
it's a good thing we don't base our moral frameworks off what the culture considers 'scandalous'
@kujapirate1996 controversial things like?
pretty metal
A lot of Paul's teachings are held up too literally imo. A lot of his recorded remarks are analogies or one off statements that I question the doctrinal validity of.
For instance women being quiet. I doubt that's doctrinal.
Also, who has actually tried to read the Qur'an? I've tried to find English translations that make sense, but the entire structure of how the various passages are made up is just plain confusing.
@kujapirate1996
Lolwut? Islam is right about women.
To know the difference between Christianity and Islam you just have to look at their prophets
Jesus preached tolerance and acceptance
Muhammad said convert to Islam if you want to keep your head
Apparently there were also times when Muhammad preached peace and tolerance. Those times coincide with points where he was weak and/or at the mercy of others, and muslim scholars have ruled that those sections can be ignored in favor of the 'convert or die' parts.
It's Mecca vs Medina. Basically, his rise to power was more peaceful, but when he seized power he became ruthless.
