Considering that throughout history most religions have not allowed women in positions of authority within them, and some still don’t, and even within those that do there’s significant enough “legacy” discontent that publicly speaking out about women in these positions is not wholly frowned upon, it’s not the biggest leap in the world to make that when the people who wrote the book say “man” they mean “men”.

Most people don’t have academic levels of analytical ability, either, including the vast majority of people who are actually preaching from the book, so the “ill-informed” are also the ones teaching from it.

What does it matter anyway? The way you (mis)interpret it isn’t going to be affected by the way someone else (mis)interprets it. That’s why there are so many different brands of Christianity.

There’s no point in being offended by it either. If you’re right, you end up in paradise and they don’t. The ultimate fuck you, surely?

I can't tell how much of this is honest ignorance versus intentional satire on the way people interpret scriptures.

This disturbs me. I feel like I'm in cognitive decline...

What makes you so sure your interpretation is correct?

I think you’ll find religion is a hugely exploited niche, it just seems to be infinitely so.

If you earn the average yearly income of your country in the first few hours of the year, you’re probably too rich.

One thing we’re not mentioning is that this was a Republican proposal (I believe they also were the ones saying August elections were bad because of the low turnout etc.) because there’s another referendum on abortion rights in November.

Had this amendment passed, that would have required 60% of people to vote for it, as opposed to just a straight majority. According to polls in Ohio, 58% of people would have voted for it.

It's as though Republicans think people can’t read between the lines or something.

I thought that was a joke, did he really name his kid X?

Of course not, don’t be silly.

He named him X Æ A-12.

Flying drones would do it. Gatwick in London got shut down for a day by one person flying a drone near the airport, to the point the mikitary were called in to get an anti-drone shield type thing in.

Saudis are more interested in sports washing right now. Evidently their current method is soccer: they’ve bought many, many, many players from big European teams, as well as enticing managers and coaches with fuck huge contracts too.

… evidently they think they can do it better than China did, as the Chinese did it about a decade ago and it didn’t go so well for them.

Oh well, just means already inflated transfer fees and wages for soccer players in Europe get even worse.

We can always shake up the meta, you know. Maybe we eliminate whoever is most tryharding day 1.
I'd rather do away with someone who doesn't plan on even pretending to care. :-\
That’s how scum win D1: pretend to care more than the least interested townie.

CRTs were still kicking around in the 90s and 00s, is what I think was meant.
