Oh, that’s interesting. My father had our lineage researched and learned that an ancestor took the side of the British during the USA revolutionary war. He had to move to Canada after the colonies won their independence due to a campaign of harassment in which his barn was burned down.
The most interesting thing about it before now was that someone in my family history had supported the other team. Now it might have actual bearing on my life instead of just being a fun story.
Finally, a religious argument that makes sense.
Funniest thing I’ve read this morning. The horses were really unexpected.
A leather belt with an onion. It all makes sense now. Consider me a convert.
Based on the earliest beliefs in Jesus, he was crucified in the firmament, not on earth. Makes sense for an apocalyptical sect of Jews (Essenes). John the Baptist (“Now John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey.”), Peter, and James the Just were all likely Essenes.
Go check out those Dead Sea Scrolls and learn some things about the group that likely founded your faith before it got highjacked by Paul, who completely bastardized it.
While you’re at it, learn about Marcion Sinope, the first to publish a New Testament.
I don’t use downvotes unless someone is factually wrong in a big way, posts something homophobic / racist / etc, or acts rude without cause and the like. Some people downvote every comment they disagree with. I don’t think that’s how downvotes ought to be used. Nor do I brigade.
I’m not a jackass with downvotes, so I’m not worried.
What an embarrassing thing to lend your name to.
My own mother once said that she wished “the gays didn’t have to be so in your face about it.”
Fuck her. She voted for that shitbag a third time. I severed our relationship in January. I’m still gonna call her and scream at her when he declares marshal law (because I warned her and she dismissed me), but other than that, she’s dead to me.
Had to try a couple of searches before I came up with the correct spelling: Susie Wiles.
FOSTA-SESTA strikes again. I had friends who were sex workers at the time. I worried for how they’d be affected. We lost touch, so I don’t know the outcome for them in particular, but it sure sounded like a bunch of bad.
Finally got my attention. Hooray!
It’s practically a one to one ratio with great comedians.
Thanks for reminding me to get my afternoon caffeine.
The Passover Plot, How Jesus Became God, Jesus the Jew. It’s been surprisingly fun.
I just opened the wiki article to read next. That brief description sounds familiar. I might have read about that in Elaine Pagel’s book, The Gnostic Gospels.
Now it makes sense. Thanks!
I suppose this is the sort of map fear-fomenting rightwing racists would use to support their arguments about white replacement theory. It would be pretty effective. Sigh.
