Leviticus 20:13, “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.”
Peter 2:18, “Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.”
Timothy 2:12, “I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man; she must be quiet.”
Great! So glad I’m responsible for building schools, teaching, paving roads, making baby formula, developing vaccines, providing neonatal care, being a pediatrician, providing daycare, being a dentist, being a pharmacist, growing food, being a bus driver, and more!
Or does the word ‘infrastructure’ not exist in your vocabulary?
New Trades Union Congress (TUC) analysis reveals Women’s Pay Day – the day when the average woman stops working for free compared to the average man – is today, Wednesday 21 February. In some industries and in some parts of the country where the gender pay gap is wider, women effectively work for free for even longer...
Not to be a dick or anything, but I found it funny that you chose to mention him mentioning the political career and his opinion of him. Nice touch, but very much irrelevant. Keep up the good work!
Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.
Before anyone asks, no, ‘salt’ doesn’t refer to sodium chloride in this context but rather curing salt or sodium nitrite.
‘Unprocessed ham’ is just a consumer term for ‘uncured ham’, which ironically is still cured, just with sodium chloride and not sodium nitrite. But sure let’s pretend every ‘Ma’am’ asking for nitrite-free ham is just a homeopathic dunce asking for the non-existent.
‘The church’ isn’t the monolith most atheist lemmings think it is. There are more than a dozen denominations and a whole spectrum of political leanings within each one.
I’m not religious, just tired of blanket statements like this that make it hard for us to be taken seriously. Theists are humans and humans come in all sorts of fucked up. Religion just brings out the worst in them. That doesn’t strip it’s significance to believers. For many, it’s what keeps them going in hard times.
Unitarian universalists are a good example of how being religious doesn’t mean you need to be a nut job, a predator, or passively support one. If you’re goal is to deradicalize, you are much more likely to convince a religious person to be more tolerant than to throw away religion altogether.
You must be illiterate because I said I’m not religious. I don’t believe in a god.
It’s wild how much dogmatic atheists like you share with religious people. You’re so busy debating the existence of a god that you forget that the existence of religion does not hinge on that.
Telling people ‘god fake now stop religion’ will not magically stop them from imposing their religious fundamentalist views. Let’s take it a step further and pretend that god exists. Do you think that justifies most religions today? I’d argue that most atheists don’t really give a shit if god exists, they give a shit if religion does because that has far more tangible impact in the real world than some ambiguous entity who either doesn’t care or can’t do anything about human suffering.
Guarantee you if we magically eliminated borders world war 3 would erupt the next day as countries desperately redraw them.
Good idea in principle, but not feasible in this day and age. Humans are simply not sociologically advanced enough to sustain that kind of political venture. For starters, humans produce more than enough food to feed the world and yet food insecurity is rampant even in countries with excess.
Open borders will happen when the rest of humanity’s shit has been sorted out, not the other way around.
I think these kinds of comments are harmful to the discourse because there a good deal of nuance missing.
For one, it’s pretty reductive to call them ‘Japanese who’ve done bad things’ when who you’re talking about is dead or on their death beds. That’s not who the monument is for or about.
Historical monuments aren’t for attributing the sins of grandparents to their grandchildren. It’s about humanzing the victims and teaching people of this generation what was allowed to happen in the past. It’s about teaching them the dangers of complacency and the complicit nature of being a bystander.
If it’s worth anything, 4,300 people signed a petition against the removal and many protested in person.
Yes, Japanese people as a whole are severely lacking when it comes to acknowledging the atrocities committed by their country. No, Japanese people today are not personally responsible for them. The better we are at separating acknowledgement from responsibility, the easier time we will have convincing people to remember them.

True. It could be far better, but one thing China did vastly improve on since the 1950s is bringing women into the workforce and providing them with a far greater degree of autonomy and access to real education than women previously experienced.
This might not sound like much since this has happened to varying degrees in many countries, but it’s understated how socially regressive Chinese views on women historically were (and still are). Not saying things are good now, because China is still rife with gender inequality issues. Just pointing out how disgusting and ingrained Confucian views on womanhood are and how much of a stain it has left on Chinese society.
