This is what the IFB crowd is concerned about. Not accuracy. Not truth. Just image and labels. It made no difference to Domelle or Wilkerson that the speakers were biblical literalists pushing Creationism because the way they did it wasn’t proper. Everything would have been just fine if fellow IFB member, with short hair and suits were the ones lying to everybody instead.
Sounds about like the Christians here that fornicate, sell drugs, women, stolen weapons, commit incest, CSA or show it to be done, then talk shit about the ones buying their products, lgbtq and the women they turn out and the ones they can’t.
Like this incident, college experiences are a mix of learning and sporadic setbacks. As a student, I understand the difficulties in juggling different points of view. When the president of a college retracts his apology for permitting a long-haired speaker to speak at a Creationism seminar, it is depressing. In the same way that I seek academic assistance from Edubirdie https://essays.edubirdie.com/thesis-writing, maybe it's time for our institutions to welcome intellectual diversity. Let's create an atmosphere where ideas are prioritized over outward appearances. Ultimately, education aims to broaden perspectives, and diverse viewpoints enhance the conversation.
The dude is literally a doppelgänger for every western depiction of Jesus ever made, with the exception of the one “fixed” in Spain, but still not enough for these nut jobs.
“I’m sorry, forgive me, he was the wrong kind of Christian.” Even though it’s the same god and the same book, albeit a slightly different version. Reminds me of the Judean People’s Front from The Life of Brian.
I’ve literally never seen a picture of Jesus with short hair. Samson was commanded to never cut his hair. Is there anything in the Bible about men having short hair? Where do modern Christians get this from?
No, no, see you're thinking of a group of peace-minded good people following an ancient tradition of love and community... But we're talking about Christians.
Falling out of any norm is an act of disobedience.
You have to be like us to belong to us.
You have to look like us to be like us.
You can’t have anything unique to look like us.
Brightly colored hair, tattoos, piercings, non-conformist clothing show that you don’t submit an show disobedience.
This is improper.
So you are improper.
Probably dangerous.
Keep away from people like that. You don’t wanna be like those.
Is there anything in the Bible about men having short hair?
Considering that we’re looking at a Jewish society in Roman times, it’s better to look at the Torah. And the answer is…complicated, of course. But the general consensus is that Jewish society felt that long hair was a bad thing for men.
Nevermind that Jesus was supposed to predate Paul. The real confusion comes from the Nazarite vows in which men don’t cut their hair or bathe for a year before bathing shaving everything off as an act of devotion and renewal. Jesus was allegedly a Nazarene, meaning from the village of Nazareth, and somewhere in all the retellings the two got conflated. So Jesus was frequently depicted with long hair, and only in recent years have new paintings been commissioned showing him with short hair.
How is is that after all these years, after seeing countless examples of religious lunacy, that I can still be surprised at the petty inanity of the religious. Apparently it's less a well of stupidity, and more like a never ending guyser of idiocy.
