2. i see foregone conclusions/consensus dropped in here from all over the place. explosive name-calling. it gives jeanine pirro, i'm sorry to say. those are her favorite tactics.
if you don't like Jesus' message, whose do you like? again, i'm not a christian, this isn't a gotcha.

i really don't know what you're talking about. i said broad-strokes vitriol against the bible/christians/christianity sounds like anger and pain; that 'christians' often use christianity to justify their horrible perspectives, and suggested specific points might be a way to understand/be understood.

Goodness. I didn't explain anything away. I didn't justify anything. I took the English translation at face-value (which probably isn't the best way to read an ancient text) and said 'yeah, that's a radical calling.' But i don't think Jesus is fostering hate; he's saying this is for the fed-up.

I didn't realize Armstrong's books were this wrong: "Hinduism...centred on the figures of Shiva and Vishnu, two of the most important Vedic deities. ... developed a Trinity: Brahman, Shiva and Vishnu were three symbols or aspects of a single, ineffable reality." History of God, 1999, 3rd ed.

there we go - something specific! yeah, Jesus' message is radical, calls for revolution, and a complete reorientation to what self, family, and life are. not too unlike Siddhartha and other ascetics across cultures who leave everything behind.

Jesus' message goes far beyond 'do unto...' and I don't think other contexts where it arose were less problematic. Jesus didn't say anything about sexuality, and wasn't a misogynist. I don't think people justifying hate with 'Christianity' are Christians. Neither do a lot of Christians.

I guess education can be measured in degrees, or in understanding. I hear those critiques, but I also hear anger and pain. These strokes sound pretty broad. What does the flawed record that is the Bible say about Jesus that you’d object to? What does it say that Jesus said that is so objectionable?

Sounds like they aren’t so educated. And as for Christian theology and activism…sounds like the church hurt you, and shame on them for that. But even as a non Christian I’ve never had trouble finding wonderful Christians. Their god is all over the place. Their incarnation is actually pretty rad.

They would probably also do things I find horrific and maybe even unforgivable. But they wouldn’t do them for fun, or because they could.

I appreciate Apple’s efforts to reduce smartphone use by making ios26 both illegible and painful to look at.

He's trying to talk vampire hunters into putting down their stakes and leaving him alone. Only sensible parsing of that statement.

You don't need the word "and" in the header. If you really want to keep it, add "written" before "by Keren."

The rooftop yoga studio across the street just took a full-class smoke break. Looks like they prefer 100s.

Did they intentionally identify themselves as Whote Supremacists, and claim the GOP is uniformly White Supremacist too? Not that they’re wrong: but I can’t tell if this is bold or just stupid upon stupid.
