Love it, like it, or loathe it, the effect of the Bible on human history is undeniable. Naturally, it's been open to all sorts of interpretations and opinions, often resulting in violence over the ages. I still can't imagine how anyone can take it literally even if there are a few nuggets of historical truth in it, much less subject modern people to it.

We’re Still Not Done with Jesus

“One subject that never dies, and, more significantly, never bores, is the life and times of the first-century Jewish rabbi and martyr Jesus, whose followers founded a religion in his name, or, rather, in honor of his title, Christ, meaning “the anointed one,” or Messiah. (Not necessarily a divine title, it had previously been associated with military and religious leaders...”) Along with Buddha and Muhammad, he is one of three nameable figures credited with founding religions that have continued to grow over thousands of years”

Someone really does not want you to know what the #VP said about Drumpf attacking #Yemen?

I didn't dig that far into the author of this posts's account (I also admit to being openly supicious of ALL mas.to accounts)... but sometimes people are wrongly caught in a #censorship algo?

I encourage all admins @jerry to be extra vigilant in their filters.

Someone who thinks Israel is a "country" instead of a plot device

(like the kind in fiction) created by someone with a #Gutenberg printing press does not care about #infosec, #opSec, or the #SEC.

𝌖𝌖 𝌖𝌖 𝌖𝌖 𝌖𝌖 𝌖𝌖 𝌖𝌖 𝌖𝌖

Side note: This is also why native people don't trust books printed in English, and why I do not believe any version of any English language translated #bible fwiw.

Vance's wife is the same color as folks in Yemen. I think he'd do a hell of a better job as prez than Drumpf if you want my opinion.

"JD Vance cautioned against bombing Yemen before the US restarted its airstrikes on the country, calling it a “mistake,”...according to a leaked Signal conversation between administration officials"
"Vance pointed out that only a small percentage of US shipping goes through the Suez Canal compared to European trade"
If you read the chat, it's like kids talking shit over a video game. Unbelievable that they're in power.

After three years, the Church of Christ in Tarpey Village is closing. It had a good run. In that time, we had convinced the church leadership of two conservative churches to become more inclusive, had ministered to dozens of LGBT+ people who had been hurt by toxic religion, and had comforted many more dealing with grief, loss, and uncertainty.

I don't know what God has in mind for me from here. For now, I'm a preacher without a congregation. I'll be going to different congregations looking for a new church home, whether that means preaching or not.

I still plan to continue my translation work (see bio). It is so essential that we have a good translation of the Bible that isn't hindered by dogmatic editors. If you can help support that effort, I'd appreciate it as I am otherwise unemployed.

The Bible Was All Written by Men With #DaddyIssues | Francesca Stavrakopoulou

#Theologian and scholar Francesca Stavrakopoulou challenges conventional views on the authorship of the Bible, exploring the idea that many of its texts were written by men grappling with complex relationships with authority figures—particularly father figures.

#MAGA folks seem to be into #ProsperityTheology which essentially says that wealth comes only to the #righteous so, since #Trump is wealthy he must be righteous.

But #Jesus tells us in the #Bible in Matthew 6:24 says

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

So...who is Trump, the three time divorced felon serving?

An introduction to the project BogoSlov (Biblical OriGins in slavOnic texts - Systems for Language-modelled Observation and Verification) has been published in the proceedings of the #IRCDL25 (Information and Research science Connecting to Digital and Library science) conference.

In it we describe what approaches towards quotation and allusion identification are we taking. In particular, we work on identifying references to the #Bible in #OldChurchSlavonic texts.

The paper is titled "Quotes at the Fingertips" and is freely downloadable from here:
ceur-ws.org/Vol-3937/#short8

This publication comes exactly in the days when we held a project meeting in Heidelberg, experimenting with different approaches and shaping our way ahead. It is only out third month into the project and we already have some interesting findings to share.

I wonder...

@dedicto @AnarchoNinaAnalyzes

I didn't know about #COINTELPRO until I was an adult. I did know the gummint was being super nasty to natives.

This is, indirectly, how I learned that the #church didn't really believe in #Jesus. I spent much of my childhood in #SouthDakota. You probably are aware of the scaremongering about #immigrants. How they break into houses and crime on the people who live there... The same kind of scaremongering was going on about "Indians." The particular town I lived in was not near any of the reservations, but people were talking scared.

I was attending the local #Catholic gradeschool, where most of my teachers were #nuns. The school principal was also a nun. My mother would sometimes take a few nuns out to the local pizzeria, and on one of these occasions, the topic of "Indians" came up, and the principal asked me, "<name>, what would you do if Indians came to your house while your mom was at work?" I answered that I would ask them if they were hungry, and cook them macaroni and cheese (the only thing I knew how to cook, other than heating up a can of soup).

And I *knew* that my answer was somehow wrong by the way the adults were acting. But I didn't know *why* and I absolutely did *not* want to ask in front of my two little sisters.

I did figure it out. If they were there to hurt me, or kidnap me, mac and cheese wouldn't stop them. And I thought the adults were being stupid about that. I mean, when *I* wanted to hurt someone, it was because of something they did. And I knew that I hadn't done anything to any Indian, ever.

I didn't even laugh when Sister T. bopped the Indian boy who read in class with the clown hammer. Normally, she'd grab the library book he was reading, slam it shut, and bop him on the head with the book, and then put it back on his desk. That day, she went into the cloak room and brought out the beepy clown hammer. She bopped him, and his desk. The other kids laughed. I wanted to cry. She made a point of bopping *my* desk, to show how it beeped and didn't actually hurt.

I was single-digit years old. But Catholic school means #Mass every school day, and *lots* of reading from the #Bible. First a reading from the Old Testament, then a bit of Psalm, then a non-gospel New Testament, and then the gospel.

If they broke into Jesus' house, he would bless them. Kids can't bless anybody unless they sneeze. And I had just learned how to make macaroni and cheese.
