… Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?
It’s the correct decision that will never happen - Children have no rights+ in modern society.
Any zealous religious parent being told they can’t bring up their child in their religion would throw an absolute shitfit.
+The only “right” of a child is framed in terms of parental responsibilities.
It’s not a misreading at all. In many fundamentalist sects (such as the one I left) that’s the dogmatic truth of those verses.
Everything material is sinful and holding you back.
I have lived with and continue to love many religious people - that does not make them rational. That does not make their religious beliefs OK. With all the love in their hearts they still participate in evil and coercive control of others. They are particularly dangerous in that they believe in their heart of hearts that they are doing the right thing.
This is the reality of religion: it is dangerous, coercive, self propagating brain washing that forces people into shape. It creates panopticons. Window twitching neighbors that snitch and shun.
This is true of all religion. In Christianity it’s true of southern baptist and Lutheran’s and Christian scientists and episcopalians and Jehovah’s Witnesses and 7th day Adventists and Mormons and Catholics and Orthodox and …
I similarly left Christianity from a far more fundamentalist sect and yes: the coercion is significant on all levels. It’s scary once you realize what’s been going on.
It’s an incredibly controlling form of human culture and not given its due wariness.
all earthly possessions
Matthew 6:19-34 and Luke 18:22-25
Pretty unequivocal: give up everything and serve God.
there is no coercion within Islam to wear a hijab, kinda like how there is no coercion within Christianity to be a virgin.
The fuck there isn’t. Coercion in Christian sects is rampant. Your parents finding out you’re not a virgin will have you disowned in plenty of Christian households.
People who want to oppress women will do it regardless of means
And people who want to murder will do it regardless of means. That doesn’t allow us to throw up our hands and let murder cults exist. Instead we extirpate them, outlaw them, stamp them out both legally and culturally.
To distinguish them, just get their confidence and ask them in a safe environment.
Pragmatically speaking this is, unfortunately, the best we can hope for. I’m not talking about pragmatics here though: I’m talking about fundamentals. Theory. What is a truly polite society?
It’s not one where religious coercion is allowed to fester.
And Christians are supposed to give up all early possessions, renounce sex and serve God all their days.
What’s your point? Theory means fuck all.
Religions are coercive social structures. You cannot distinguish those doing it willingly from those corrected into “proper behavior”. As such a civil society can permit neither.
Re: downvotes - no idea why it’s not working, but your anger is obvious enough without it
Choosing to wear a hijab is totally cool, as long as it’s not because of a religion.
Religion uses coercion and indoctrination to control people.
It doesn’t matter if it’s state sanctioned or not: the social contract imposed by religion is violence. It doesn’t matter if it’s the government threatening jail time or your friends threatening social isolation. It’s coercive.
And you can’t distinguish between those who do it willingly and those who are forced: so a civil society can permit neither.
Fuck hijabs and Islam.
Fuck christofascists and tradwives.
Fuck hindu nationalists and caste systems.
Fuck any and every religion that insists they need to impose their ways on others to be in good favor with their God. Fuck them in any and every form.
Thanks for the breakdown - I see what you mean as far as her campaign linking out to specific proposals. I do think the majority of these promises are contingent on control of congress, which is nowhere near guaranteed.
What kind of additional details are you hoping for? It seems like it’s about as detailed as a federal level platform can be
Idk how you call it lite on detail:

It has broad strokes across every issue but there are detailed specifics when you open the collapsible folds. Things like bringing back the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Expanding out to a newborn tax credit. Out of pocket maximums for seniors, increasing taxes on earners over 400k/yr - it all looks good to me.
Americans in Massachusetts are able to install solar panels and run their house.
It’s not like a cloudy day means 0% generation
It’s a dangerous command - I’d rather not run it by accidentally hitting the f

If it’s not using GCM then it must be long polling, unless signal servers are set up to use a 3rd form of push (APNS for iOS, GCM for Android)
Some people don’t know that Muslim and Arab voters voted for George W. Bush in 2000.
Yeah but none of them did in 2004. The anti Muslim rhetoric from the right isn’t as bad as it was then but it’s definitely getting worse every day
Gotta be a lich before you die or else you don’t come back
The first part is great. The “cast doubt” part sounds like naturalist bullshit.
That is not my experience in Italy.
Just ask a European about gypsies or African migrants. It will get very racist very quickly.
And I don’t see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it’s that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture’s food and bend it to their preferences.
But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.
