I agree with the headline, even if only from personal experience, and I have worked and lived in over 5 states while having worked in over a dozen. I've lost friends and family to the "anti-woke" herd. as such, I've made the choice to go low/no contact with them. they've decided the rights they enjoy aren't good enough for folks that don't vote like them. the bigotry is everywhere it seems! I even quit a job because I wouldn't tolerate the constant Trump/Jesus worship that management was forcing on staff. until a respect for Reason takes hold, I'm afraid this will only get worse.
here's the verse I'm referencing. nothing is said about loving them more than him. the word 'love' isn't even used. can you please cite the verse where is says what you claim?
Luke 14:26 KJV — If any man come to me, and HATE not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
I'm sorry to hear about your heartbreak. been there, it sucks. what I find helpful is a little bit of pampering (live show, bubble bath, etc). a change of scenery or visiting friends can help as well. I know it may should silly, but if you need to talk about it, chatGPT is an option that can be easier to be open with. I'd offer to listen, but that would sound creepy from a random stranger on the Internet. 😜
they didn't have any to begin with. what kind of person thinks it's a good idea to worship something that demands human sacrifice? or commands genocide? endorses slavery, considers women to be second class, drowns an entire planet, condemns his children to eternal torture..... need I go on?
they say they're christian, who am I to judge? I think it's more important to consider how much of a monster yahweh is, and why anyone would want to be associated with it.
the bible says Jesus told his fans that they can't be his disciple unless they hate their family. also something about obeying their master. sounds very Trumpian to me. but then again, there are no "true" Scotsman, are there? 😜
IMO, he is definitely the Christians' mascot. not only due to how much they support him, but also because he reflects the bigotry and ignorance they so deeply cherish.
I think someone like Hammurabi would be interesting. Are we restricted by language though? if so, I'd have to say someone like Aleister Crowley or "Mark Twain"
here's what I got from the article, "this isn't about policy. What these "centrists" really want is for Joe Biden to "own the libs" because in their minds that is the only way you can truly demonstrate your commitment to bringing people together and achieving unity." I translate "commitment to bringing people together and achieving unity." to mean just doing what the corporate donors command. IIRC, a large portion of the population supports progressive policies, such as universal healthcare, education, and campaign finance reform.
I read an interesting analogy about it. basically it's like ordering a steak from a restaurant, but then the cook comes out and takes the plate back. he takes it to the kitchen and brings it back to you tougher to chew. when asked why it is more chewy, the cook says it's so that you can gnaw on it longer. those in early game don't notice so much because they haven't made it to the 'meat' of the game yet. I plan to revisit it after BG3 and some QoL improvements.
I was grandfathered in from the Google Play Music days. I enjoyed being able to upload my CDs to my library. still locked in at $8 a month. no YouTube ads and no music ads.
