Nah. Please do not blame yourself for being a child that didn’t have emotional regulation. Please hold parents to the bare minimum standard of providing modeling of it. Throwing shit or hitting you is not healthy modeling.

I’m ok with discriminating against billionaires to the extent that they shouldn’t exist. I don’t believe there should be such disproportionate power. There is a general trend of white men having the most, but it’s not exclusive. I don’t therefore believe white men all disproportionately have more power and discriminate against them. Does that make sense?

If not, please do explain how anything I’ve said is racist. I’m hoping this was just a misunderstanding and you’re not implying that calling out systemic racism is racist in itself. That would put us in quite the pickle lol

Well that just put a horrific image in my mind as a person capable of childbirth

Thanks, I hate it lol

I met my last long term partner on a dating app, but these days it’s not a route I’d want to take. I met someone on discord more recently in a really wonderful community that allowed me to get to know him and make other friends with none of the same pressure

Not all people have the same opportunity. To say all people are the same is to deny systemic reality. Lemme know when everyone has similar wealth or power to Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.

The Nazi movement would not be competent at all without enough cogs in the machine

Have you tried using your toes?

Depends on whom you’re asking, but lots of christians consider it a sin outside of marriage. Super healthy message to give young kids /s

Welcome to life, where occasionally you deal with things you don’t want to. I do hope you never experience a similar situation, but if you do, I hope it is handled with compassion.

I mean, idk if we’re having some difference in understanding, but this is a bit out of my scope as far as spiritual interpretation. I’m an atheist looking at it more in thought experiment mode with some historical reference. If those are your beliefs then power to ya, but it’s not quite my bag of tea to debate spiritualism, sorry:) if I’ve misunderstood please lemme know

There’s verses in Kings, Judges, and I’ll look back over my Jewish Studies course notes from last semester for more academic sources tomorrow. Notably the worship of Baal and Asherah are present, and iirc Asherah was associated with some Israelites to be Yahwehs wife. We’re talking pre-Greek and Roman time periods where Gods were considered much more physical - as we see with Genesis with Yahweh referred to as walking in the garden.

The concepts of gods being more etherial didn’t come about for a few more centuries after, maybe by the time Christianity started popping off (again, gotta go to sleep but will check dates if ya need tomorrow). See also the Cyprus Cylinder for comparison and reference to conquering of the Israelites, orders that allowed them to continue to worship as they pleased, while still essentially talking shit and saying “Our God is stronger than yours.”

May be worth asking chatgpt. The Bible has been rewritten so many times to adjust for major cultural shifts, but there’s definitely evidence within it and other historical writings.

The first commandment is literally “you shall have no other gods before me.” If you look at different historical translations and viewpoints, it is well accepted that Judaism experienced a shift from polytheism to monotheism, and there is more evidence of that in the Old Testament. Passages referring to Yahwehs wife, waging war to defeat other gods, etc.
