Arguing over fictional characters is super constructive
While I agree that part is silly, at least Talarico is using his belief to try to implement much-needed change.
Lotta folks that actually bother to vote are Christian, so I think he’s Texas’ best bet at turning blue.
Screeching to the world over an issue you don’t think is important while ignoring the reality, that even though it’s stupid as fuck its still a problem in our reality, is also pointless.
Did you change any thoughts in here? Did you move the needle? No. Non applicable noise. This article does however represent an irl shift to monitor.
So your comment you see, was much more so pointless and not constructive.
Ironic posting intensifies
Did you change my mind with your comment? Absolutely not. And I’m allowed to comment about if I want, so I did. Go take your preaching and shove it up your ass, pretentious asshole.
So the GOP is upset that some people believe in something that has no scientific backing, eh?
You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
Deuteronomy 32:18. This is the lot that would insist that men cannot give birth, right?
That’s a really poor translation. It sounds more like God gave the “you” reproductivity.
That one is very clear. Semitic scripture uses parallelism liberally for emphasis. Both “yalad” and “chuwl” mean birth, but yalad is masculine as in “fathered” while chuwl means “gave birth to.” Deuteronomy 32:18 very explicitly paints Yahweh as both father and mother of all Israelites.
Hell, yeah. A linguist enters the chat.
So from Semitic languages, to Latin—which also can translate feminine, masculine, and anything between as three states jusr fine—to period-subjected variations of English, up to the modern day take, it should’ve been kept quite clear. But sometimes over a few thousand years it may have been skewed. At least enough to open up interpretation in a way that interpretation aligns with one’s beliefs or desires.
Well, I am shocked that this could happen to an Abrahamic religion /s
The control of far too many of the levers of power and influence in our society rest on ensuring a majority of the population is unbelievably stupid. I think its what I hate most about the current fascist formula in use. It feels like peoples’ ability to survive on their own has been stolen from them.
If it’s any reassurance, the human race has historically been even stupider and less educated. It’s better today by leaps and bounds.
100 years ago, the world literacy rate was in the 20-30% range. Today, it’s ~85%.
The bad news is that the oligarchs use literacy as a weapon, through targeted media. So, yeah, it’s not so much stupidity we’re seeing, it’s just brainwashing, pure and simple.
Yeah, but half-informed is oftentimes worse than not informed.
God is a hermaphrodite. There. I said it.
So is my cat, who I worship, so that checks out.
Cat in question, who is very deserving of worship.
Cock n’ ball n’ pussycat?
Born with both testicles and a uterus. All male on the outside, all female on the inside. Kinda neat, but unfortunately very expensive to fix. It had to be done though, 1) because you should fix your cats anyway, and 2) because apparently it causes a lot of health issues if you don’t fix it, including a very high chance for cancer in that region.
Hopefully spayed and neutered pussycat
Yep, it was a very expensive and invasive procedure but it had to be done. We were going to regardless since you should always fix your cats but in addition to that, having both testicles and a uterus can lead to a lot of health complications in cats. Most commonly a far higher chance at getting cancer in that area.
No, that’s angels. The God of Abraham would be better defined as having no gender or sex whatsoever.
The pedo protectors can say whatever they like. Judging by the last 100 or so special elections, the independents have finally woken up and are done with the GOP.
I hope you are right, but I doubt it… this is texas after all, they will shoot themselves in the dick and call it a circumcision
“MY GOD HAS A DICK!! IT’S BIG AND VEINY AND THROBBING AND NOBODY’S GONNA TELL ME DIFFERENT!!!” - Evangelicals, apparently.
Uh oh, Mike Johnson better contact his son…
Turns out they also don’t like it when you say that. It’s like pick a lane people
Already a song about god’s dick
Retconning all godesses makes Yahweh an incel.
Why are you booing him he’s theologically correct?
I have no opinion on if God is NB. But he’s very clearly in a same-sex union with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
God is dating his son???
they just call each other daddy
God is a power bottom in the throuple with his son and a ghostly entity
That really isn’t that weird in the grande scheme of things
or particularly unusual for deities
I’ve had a pastor argue it a number of years ago and it did make sense at the time, it was based on how God referred to using a feminate city name or something similar
The Holy Throuple
I upvoted and then I took it back just in case any of this stuff is real.
I would have thought the Holy Spirit would have been repping the feminine style in the throuple.
The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit, gaymen.
Nah, God is a Trinity. Therefore they’re nonbinary. Also, since the religious right doesn’t want to imagine God as using their obviously male penis in any way, shape, or form, they’re asexual.
So God is a Thruple, got it.
Listen to the guy talk and make your own opinion
Wtf US. Talrico literally supports building fossil fuel infrastructure.
He’s right of center, and definitely not rad
he’s from texas
Are you saying there are no progressives in Texas?
Because I know many progressives in Texas.
if someone is running for office and successful in Texas, odds are they are getting fossil fuel money. it’s a pretty good rule of thumb.
now, does supporting building fossil fuel infrastructure make someone not progressive? i’ll let you decide where to draw the line for yourself. we are all more of a combination of various policies and beliefs and just one more conservative policy isn’t going to throw it for me at least.
I thought God was Alanis Morissette?
Just a slob like one of us
Blee blee blahblah blooo
Christianity tends to be patriarchal. No point getting clever about it… Followers of “faith” aren’t philosophers. They believe in unreason.
My headphones are non-binary too.
Literally one of the oldest Christian positions about God is that God is not a dude. This should not be controversial. Folks like Saint Augustine of Hippo would agree wholeheartedly with the assertion that God has no gender binary. This is because if God has a gender that gender is “God.”
It’s also 1 being but 3 stacked in a coat at the same time, so the lore is a bit hard to keep track of
