Adam, as the world falls down 🏳️‍🌈

Warehouse 13 Farnsworth noise.

Not exactly the same, but I've been moving my (perfect for me) alarm tone from phone to phone for over a decade now.

Yes. Yes I have.

Please drop some horror book recommendations! I quit the last two I started and need something good!

It's funny that Pete Davidson keeps talking about people turning on celebrities because they start showing up everywhere, when people are going to turn on him for being in one specific place.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

No one is allowed to comment on this unless you've tried it.

I'd like to submit a new internet/media law:

The entirety of a piece of (children's) media should be regarded as as queer as its last episode.

Alright my gays, theys, and Euro-trash babes! Who else is tuning in for Eurovision this year!

I wasn't sure how my first Record Store Day would go, but it ended up being a success. Our local record store posted that people started camping out yesterday at 6pm so we figured there'd be nothing left Managed to get almost everything we wanted! Only thing we missed was a live Tori Amos single.

Mississippi libraries ordered to delete academic research in response to state laws - Mississippi Today The two research collections state officials ordered for deletion included material from professional journals, conference papers, books, student dissertations, periodicals and newspaper articles.

We're now deep into the book burning stage of the current Nazi regime.

I'm going to leave this thread here (for I believe the third time) and hope that you can end today a little more aware of your own ingrained biases. But if you can't learn, hopefully someone else might read this and take something from it.

Very good. Now try it without the implied antisemitism.

I've been watching well intentioned comments start to lean pretty hard into antisemitism because of Christian (both religious and hegemonic) ignorance. 2/2

Listen, I love what Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde did and think it should be universally praised.

But when doing so, please don't revert to "true Christian" rhetoric. There's a lot of anger, rage, and bigotry in the gospels as well as the peace and love stuff. 1/2

4*if* he was powerful enough, he'd be morally obligated to do so.

You're now taking a moral posting everyone agreed on and wrapping it in presumptive Christianity, so now we suddenly"disagree", though not on the actual issue of slavery.

3. Some people believe god was powerful enough to stop it

You're working on the assumption that god is responsible for fixing earthly problems, and not humans.

God's role as an intercessor is not the same between Christianity and Judaism, and you're leaning towards the former.

2. Slavery was explicitly allowed for in the texts

Yes, but your ignoring the past where or was brought up that this was within a cultural context, and possibly as a limitation of humans and not god. Perhaps "explicitly regulated/limited" world be a better way of approaching it.

1. Slavery is wrong.

Everyone here has agreed on this.

You have set up the religious morality equivalent of the "yes or no: have you stopped beating your wife?" joke.

From a Jewish perspective, some of those, in the hierarchy you set up, aren't answerable because they're not applicable. As I said, your framework has a huge amount of presumed conditions and not all of them work within Judaism.

That's why I laid out multiple possible intentions with your questions.

If your intention is to understand the complex relationship between god/ethics/scripture/law in Judaism then you'll probably benefit from reading up rather than arguing.

If your intention is to pinpoint a source of blame then you might want to step away from this discussion completely.

This feels like you're camping from a very Christian framework of god/ethics/scripture/law, and attempting to bend Judaism into that Christian shape. There's a huge amount of implicit concepts propping up your list.

There kinda isn't a clear delineation between culture and religion in Judaism. That's what an ethnoreligion is. Christianity's religious/secular dichotomy is pretty unique to Christianity in that regard.

It would be more accurate to say that there is room within Judaism for atheism.

Sincerely, an atheist and a religious Jew
