LIAR.

You claimed Tucker Carlson of being low information news.

He was one of the places that showed the videos and social media posts of the liberals saying these things, that your "news" didn't talk about.

And, just out of curiosity… what exactly do you think I lied about?  That I get my news from multiple sources? (snip)

I get my noodz from multiple sources. Well I used to before I was banned for not agreeing with the Trump pile ons. Hooray for illiberal liberals and cancel culture!

@bc22:

The risks of Covid-19 has slowed us down quite a bit in that regard - we want to stay alive and well to enjoy more. This current downtime is one of the main reasons I've been spending more time on this site lately.

Stay safe when you start your next chapter 

Covid is mainly fake news. 1 million dead (it is actually less than that. It is 1+ million dead with covid not actually, or necessarily, from) is hardly much news, proportionally speaking. The agenda behind covid is more interesting.

So you're saying that the only factor in sexual race preferences is racism? Utter BS. You'll be saying that gay men are misogynists next.

Jonathan Yaniv is a complete creep, with his obsessive hitting on little girls, asking them the 'details' about menstruation

Also, we know that blacks are far more likely to be killed by other blacks than anyone else.

If Trump supporters were doing any of the things that BLM were doing, they'd be denounced by the media in bitter terms. Now? They are praised for being a criminal mob.

Saint-Saens: Piano Trio in F

It's absurd. Normal kids don't engage in adult sexual behaviours at 9. Is this 'Jessica' Yaniv's friend?

They may have not read Das Kapital, but they sure know how to virtue signal. In general if not absolutely in toto.

I learnt a lot about them from this site:

Islam is the only religion that beheads gays and throws them off buildings, whilst being completely true to the spirit and letter of its sacred text.

@raphjd:

Christianity is kind of odd.  It has the holy text of the jews as well as the holy texts of christians in 1 book.

Conservative christians tend to follow the OT far more than they do the NT.  Obviously, liberal christians are the opposite.

Unlike other religions, christians generally admit that the bible has been altered constantly over the last 1800 years.     There are also many translation errors.

In 1380'ish, John Wycliffe hand wrote the 1st ever English language bible, believing that everyone should be able to read it for themselves and not have the clergy be the only ones to read it.  He and his followers made nearly 70 of these bibles.  44 years after his death, the Pope found out about his bibles, so he ordered his bones be dug up, ground up and thrown into a river.

In 1604, King James ordered that a single bible be made, because there were about 38 different versions floating around the UK at the time.   It was at this time that many of the anti-women parts of the bible were added.  It was approved and published in 1611.    King James banned all other versions of the bible on pain of death.

Starting in the 1960s, there was a push by more liberal christians for a modern english version of the bible.  Conservative christians were against any bible other than the KJV.    As of last summer, there are 50 different versions of the english bible.  Once again, they vary in how they were created.  Some tried to stay true to the original Greek texts, while others tried to stay true to the KJV.  Of course, there's everything in between.

NOTE:  There are obviously other bibles in other languages, but I'm only talking about the history of the english versions.

There are many versions of the original text, but a close approximation of a kind of urtext can be reconstructed from various sources, which is mostly agreed by most scholars. There are some differences, most of which are trivial. It isn't true that the 'anti-women' parts of the NT were added in 1611. They are in all Bibles. As you say, some Bibles are translations from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek and some are translations or editions of translations. There are more than 50 translations into English out there, although there may only be about 50 complete ones available for current purchase or easy acquisition via Amazon, etc.

Individual states have their own houses of assembly. The US is a federation.

@Shami94:

An Anglican priest in Australia put up a sign outside his church calling the Australian government minister in charge of immigration a sodomite.  He explained that according to a correct reading of the bible, the "sin of sodom" is not a man having sex with another man. The sin of sodom is inhospitality.

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/anglican-priest-rod-bower-brands-peter-dutton-a-sodomite-in-social-media-post-20170930-gyrtk5.html

"The sin of Sodom is greatly misunderstood by those who usually choose to do so, it has nothing to do with homosexuality, it is all about hospitality, or more to the point lack thereof, and particularly about the condition of the heart that leads to inhospitable behaviour," Fr Bower said in the post.

That isn't actually true. Genesis shows that it was sexual. Ezekiel shows the underlying cause.

@Joshuadean:

The right should be there but I think it's mostly a farce anyway, with so many failed marriages, why would we want to follow down that same path!?

I believe in gay divorce rights just as much as straight divorce rights.

How f'ing pointless

@DDAC84:

@Matie:

In some ways though gay marriage can never be equal to straight marriage- those 2 partners can never have kids together for example

Firstly. what on earth has marriage got to do with children?!

Secondly

those 2 partners can never have kids together for example

Not true, it is possible for 2 men to have a baby together which only has 0.00000000000000000000001% of the female donors DNA. Its just not legal yet. So you can't say they can never have children.

Again…
Marriage is the process by which two people make their relationship public, official, and permanent. It is the joining of two people in a bond.

Marriage was instituted so that there would be societal benefit for producing children in a monogamous hetero bond. Nothing else. It has 'evolved', into a disposable thing of really very little value, except wasting money and offending your friends whilst dozens of hangers on you barely know eat and drink themselves stupid at your expense.

@raphjd:

Actually, if you look, it's the Democrats that are the current war mongers.   They are butt hurt that Trump isn't attacking everyone in sight.

Then again, they want the opposite of Trump, even it it's one of their long standing platforms like ending illegal immigration.

I wouldn't say Trump is all that doveish, overall, but it is a fact that the hard left are clamouring for bloody war against Syria, which would virtually plunge the world knee deep in blood and a World War.
