You can play pretend, but you’ve directly responded to the biblical passages I’ve supplied in previous comments, so it’s foolish of you to make believe.
lot valued women so low as to offer for his own daughters to be raped. You empathize with this bigotry, but your empathy for bigotry doesn’t make christian misogyny, slavery, incest, hoarding wealth or pedophilia okay.
“…cannot define an ideology by how it’s adherents act”
An ideology is, in practice, defined by its adherents.
“…humans are corrupt and wild…”
correct, jesus is not a perfect master
“are you accusing me…”
I wasn’t, but you do admire masters and worship a book glorifying slavery.
“Slave owning isn’t righteous”
Owning slaves is righteous according to the christian bible.
Time to scrutinize your values.
the christian bible is all about fearing retribution for your actions instead of making moral choices and positively affecting the world through good will and critical thinking.
it is christian to own slaves and to be a master to your slaves according to the christian bible, what you see as the word of the christian god. you are defying the christian god by claiming owning slaves is not righteous.
“It’s not about owning slaves or worshipping fear”
By its own text, the christian bible is a book about worshiping fear and glorifying slavery.
but that’s okay because it’s just a book, one of millions, and there’s a much bigger, and real, world out there with better lessons you can learn from.
and still christians have always and continue to carry out the death penalty.
a. jesus is an imperfect master: his flock is full of pedophiles, murderers and rapists.
b. being a perfect slave master is not good for the slaves. You may aspire to owning slaves, but that doesn’t make owning slaves admirable or righteous.
2 again: “…died for mankind.”
jesus was here a few years and then lives in paradise forever in your book. his suffering was brief and insignificant relative to eternal life.
Important to note that all the evidence we have supports the christian bible being a fictional story, largely made up and revised over the years to create a myth to subjugate people like yourself. It’s an interesting piece of creative writing, but there are limits to how far you should base your real life on a book about owning slaves and worshiping fear that inspired one of the largest and most harmful cults in history.
god’s answers:
“who carries out the punishment?” christ and/or Christians
“What is god’s instruction to the husband?” To be the master
next two instead of 3 and 4:
1 again. “Who are sinners?” Those who defy jesus.
2 again. “…if you kept reading…much greater burden on the husband…” i’ve read the bible in full, there is no “greater burden” put on the master.
“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart”
Sounds reeeal tough for the slave owners, having all that respect and sincerity from their slaves…no, it is not more difficult for a man to go on a date with his wife than it is for a wife to be eternally damned for not cooking her husband dinner.
The eternal damnation is a greater burden.
your bible is a cherry tree.
I was worried there were too many quotes for you and removed a few, but I’ll simplify it further:
Women must obey every desire of their husband, according to the word of god(cooking dinner, for example). Disobeying the word of god is punishable by death.
1, 2.
Love that you’re like “we all know shrimp sends you to christian hell, but wife discipline? Seems farfetched!”
Corinthians, ephesians, most books of the Bible reiterate that women must submit to their husbands:
“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.”
And to not submit to their husbands is to go against God.
“But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”
And guess what happens if your husband asks you for dinner and you say no?
“So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.”
Eve’s decision to prioritize her own desires over God’s instructions led to disastrous consequence including physical death and eternal obeisance.
“Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”
“Genesis 2:18-24 “And the lord god said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him”
Christian women are servants to men, and if they defy men, they defy god. Through all of every version of the bible, the Christian punishment for defiance is death.
Why?
“For the wages of sin is death”.
Whats that?
Poor Henry Selick, actual director of nightmare before Christmas.
Anytime I hear anything about Tim Burton now, I just feel bad for Selick.
Over 5 years for me too, and i actually called them up to ask if they were a scam the first month because it was so easy to sign up and cheap for unlimited data.
They said “no” and i said “okay”.
Nope! Visible is owned by Verizon but fortunately offers different services and functions separately.
Human customer service, remote setup, actual unlimited plans, 20 bucks a month, no contracts.
Visible is functionally different and a better customer experience than verizon and other providers in every way, they just get to use verizon networks.
Visible with unlimited data and hotspots: more versatile, cheaper and less time-consuming than dealing with either of those fuckers.
You mean the independent source I provided several messages ago you’re trying hard not to acknowledge?
You’ve got to learn personal and community responsibility sooner or later. You can make wild claims, but since they’ve already been disproved, you’re going to have to provide evidence eventually.
This is kind of what I’m wondering about. Countless warehouses full of used half functional video cards.
This is why you should provide a source, your numbers and associated assumptions are incorrect:
Chatgpt has estimated revenue of 1.3 billion, not 13 billion, neither of which are remotely significant as revenue streams relative to cost.
That’s the thrust of my opening paragraph, and then you appear to have taken up my drop in the bucket analogy, so i guess we’re on the same page now.
Yes; the included source and explanatory paragraph above in the same comment you are referencing.
Would you care to provide any evidence for your speculation that people are willing to pay enough for AI to sustain its costs?
The 90s weren’t great for most people, but they were the peak of hope and optimism for many people.
Education, telecommunication, and trade relations were developing so quickly it was “sensible” to foresee humanity living in a utopia soon.
Then baby bush goes back to the middle east, domestic surveillance expands internationally, but most importantly the internet disillusions most people that they are living in a progressive world.
How many genocides are currently happening? How quickly are sea levels going to rise? Why, exactly, are so many people dying from cancer at the same time that processed foods become so popular?
The tobacco scientists were LYING!?
Ask and the search engine answers.
Talk to international forum friends: people tell you about their lives manufacturing your comforts in China, Jamaica, India, and so on.
It rapidly became clear from the outset of social media that tech titans also champion commodification and privatization of personal and public information rather than using that information to benefit society at large.
Things weren’t getting better in the 90s, but before everybody was talking to each other and sharing their experiences, many people believed things could get better.
