He must be very distressed the George Washington didn't actually throw a dollar across the Potomac.

This needs to be immortalized.

Black Shavous and the 2LiveJews both actually exist.

4 frame comic. a street journalist is interviewing a tall light brown man with a pink scarf and a tshirt of the band Angine de Poitrine. off-frame, the journalist asks : sir! are you worried about homophobic parents who might want to trans their child rather than have an effeminate son? the man replies : wait wait wait wait wait. are you implying that some homophobes might not also be raging transphobes? Never heard of that. trans kids are currently being hunted down, outlawed, marginalized from social life, singled out in their own schools, and you're asking me about some hypothetical parent who might pressure a child into being trans so they might what? fit in better? transitioning as a child in- volves years of determination. every adult in their life is likely to cast doubt on who they are. if they are lucky and have supportive parents, their families are often ostracized by their community. the idea that someone sees the hardships a family with a trans child goes through and thinks "they must have forced it on them" makes me physically ill.

Wait wait wait wait wait

Hey, you're the one saying quoting Jesus is peachy and quoting what Jesus quoted is dangerous. I'm not sure what you mean by "credit to Akkadians" or how giving it would move the needle.

I've got some bad news for you about who Jesus quoted.

Latest in “antisemitism isn’t a growing problem”

My heart hurts seeing yet another headline like this, praying everyone is ok

Liberation from reading comprehension.

I did actaully for real once use a Vax workstation as a space heater in my apartment.

[0011246] Villainous plot revealed/leaked in dwarven art

“Feminism is a Zionist plot to turn you into wage slaves”

Sir, women have always worked, feminism just ensured we got paid for that work instead of men like you acquiring that labour for free.

In fairness, they're using "shulhani" because I used "shulhani."

Especially twisted about it is that membership fees/taxes are transparent and above board, while the wealthy evangelists they keep centering in making their case are begging the flock to give, give, give outside any formal structure.

The thing is, although I find liberation theology attractive, it is firmly addicted to antisemitic Christian representations of Jews and Jewish institutions in especially financial context. I note that a number of Yidden are following @liberationtheology.bsky.social

Religion requires a lot of work, from maintenance and custodial tasks to liturgical labor. All religious labor should be fairly compensated. Living wages for all includes religious laborers.

This is what happens when you have a religion that you see as separate from your culture. Like this is so close and also misses the point.

Like, EXACTLY, membership dues are basically taxes. Communities pool resources to have things like, I dunno, a place to meet? It’s not sinister.

And it's weird that you expect clergy to work for free.

The claim is not that no shulhani ever was corrupt. The claim is that the shulhani Jesus attacked were not, and you haven't cited a single word to show that they were. Even if they had been corrupt, Jesus, a random Jew of no particular authority, would have been wrong to attack them as described.

Every word you've written here is an antisemitic slander. I guess Liberation Theology heard about not bearing a false witness and decided you wanted no truck with it. Congratulations, you are the exact problem under discussion.

Antisemites gonna antisemite. Jesus is the asshole of that story.

So Christians follow Paul's teachings about Jesus' teachings. Doesn't seem like much of a point.

What Ive got is the fact that Christianity's one and only defining criterion is the assertion that Jesus is the Messiah. Lots of shitty people assert that. You, for example.

Ask Constantine or all those Popes. But don't pretend fucking over Christians hasn't been part of Christianity for most of its existence. Also, fuck you.

If you're point is there are and have never been Christians since Paul, perhaps, but thats a silly point to try to make.

Horseshit. Which Christians don't have Paul's writings in the canon?

Only if "some" were entirely opposed to making coherent arguments.

So you acknowledge that Jesus sinned when he attacked the shulhani, who did nothing wrong?

Jesus wasn't antisemitic, but his followers are the largest source of antisemitism in history.

Yup. You think following Jesus is one thing, they think it's another thing. You're both Christian. If they're not Christian then neither was Constantine, so get real.
