If this is so why is it such an article of faith for most of the next 2000 years that women not be allowed to serve as religious leaders. Your reading is just ahistorical. Ignores all other verses that clearly delineate the subservience of women and reasoning for same.

It’s pretty clear that none of the individual sects consider which texts to follow up for debate and they used to murder you for having a different opinion. It is pretty clear that any new found mental flexibility is both heretical and ahistorical

You’ve still added god to the picture for no particular reason. The universe doesn’t need a sentient cause there is absolutely no reason to believe it needs one.

You rarely convince christians or any other sort of fanatic you argue with them for the peanut gallery to create a pervasive sense that among smart people its a joke so that a few people should ultimately decide to laugh instead of being the butt of it.
It is on the overall working. Religious nones are a growing group and atheism is slightly more acceptable. Once nearly all were Christians. We are down to 62% of the pop and the youngest gen is 48%.

I think its pretty clear that the word of man is not just like their opinion its the inspiration of the divine. It’s not really up for debate.

The explanation is bubkis historical re-imagining like when the media sane washes the babble that comes out of Trump’s mouth. He’ll spend 15 minutes babbling about how he thinks magnets work and they report hurr durr somewhere in there he said lower taxes.

No christian would possibly accept the idea of an omniscient, omnipotent and evil god. Once you start imagining from first principals what ought to be real you don’t end up with Christianity. If you restarted humanity 1000 times you would get newtons conception of gravity every single time you would get Christianity zero times.

It’s not a bad argument technique to pull out the actual primary document and examine it. You can take small portions of a document in a fair minded fashion and examine it without deliberately being misleading or taking it out of context.

This is… not what the bible says. The bible doesn’t suggest that the bible is the word of man and subject to interpretation or waffling. It says that women are lesser than men and should be subject to them and it says it very very clearly.

I think the point is that you don’t have to pay ANYTHING per month to play apps or games you already fully paid for online whereas not paying for playstation online means you lose that entire aspect of your own device whereas with a ps5 if you stop paying sony you can no longer even use netflix despite paying netflix your isp and sony for their hardware. They use the fact that they control your device to effectively blackmail you by making third party apps contingent on paying their blackmail.

So in this imaginary never ending orgy it would still make sense for the women to take the pill because if 99% of the men do the other 1% will somehow make every single women pregnant.

Would you like a meme with 8 or less characters and a 2nd grade reading level to calm you down?
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think its a non-argument. If we are talking about PC gaming as a budget option the fact that you CAN have JUST a singular device isn’t obviated by the fact that some people have a separate general purpose PC any more than it is because some people still a $5000 GPU on a $15000 device.

Most recently I got a nice radeon 6600 with 8GB VRAM for 100 I guess.

Using a TV for general computing would be fairly broken due to font rendering and DPI. Comparing used anything is fraught because its filled with caveats and isn’t repeatable.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t say they didn’t watch netflix or have internet.
PC gamers don’t pay a monthly fee connected to their gaming.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
350€ = 405 USD once you add in a mouse keyboard and monitor you are over 500 the figure I used. Decrease your figures further and it gets shittier fast.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
Only a tiny minority of PC gamers pay monthly for anything.
You can’t upgrade the PS5, and the sale price of your 5-year-old unit is like $100.
Free games aren’t included in the 10 per month.
The cost of 18 per month to also have old games costs 1300 over 6 years.
The PC you can get for $200 will be awful to use or die within 3 years or both. It will be ridiculous to repair, so you will buy another 200 special hating the shit you bought both times.
Basically at the root a PC and a console are both good for about 6 years but the 700-1300 you pay for online is going to dwarf the buy up from acceptable PC to gaming PC+ hardware.
Cheap PC are the value option expensive pc are the quality option.
Consoles are kind of in between.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
Let’s compare a 6 year price without games.
PC gaming
800 gaming PC 200 mid cycle update to GPU 3-5 years in
PS5
500 non-gaming PC because your ps5 isn’t a useful alternative 500 ps5 650 ps5 pro 4 years in 720 for PlayStation online basic at 10 per month
1000 vs 2370
Laughing at console gamers spending more than the cost of a basic computer on the privilege of using it online via your own internet which you also pay for

Software and driver issues like clicking update? Waiting for a reboot?
The same one year warranty that your PC has?
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
That isn’t something normal people buy you can spend any amount on anything but its really fringe rich people shit.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
Yep so many amazing games for $5-20 on steam sales often not even that old

No. The loss from ridiculous misuse is small but meaningful and basically worth nothing because typically “exposure” isn’t worth anything whatsoever. Worse it might convince some other assholes with the same strategy to specifically target your joint magnifying their loss.
It’s funny that you who have run nothing know better than every company.

Normal people should either buy a computer with Linux just like they would windows or Mac or google model of computer + Linux before buying.
Its weird to compare apples not only to oranges but to moldy oranges when this isn’t the actual user experience.
People who do continue to use Linux don’t just keep buying random hardware and hoping it works because they have search engines.
No onboarding process with randomly chosen hardware with hostile OEM is ever going to be good enough for people who are stupid lazy and cheap.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 5 weeks ago:
When I’m shopping for one I simply consider Linux support a requirement. Same as you don’t just buy Xbox games and hope that they work in your ps5.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 1 month ago:
Anyone can buy a computer that comes with Linux or a computer known to work well with Linux and have the same experience

He’s a huge racist and a trump loving MAGA. He isn’t getting hatemail for not liking Linux
