1. the chandelier of horns can apparently symbolize... cuckoldry? perhaps? 2. the beaver represents castratation 3. notice the statue of Jesus on the table. Notice how the white cloth seems to rise from the pelvic area. I'm starting to think I have a Dan Brown book on my hands.

These people are certainly not that, one of them just studied the history and liked the stories. I can't blame them, I wish some of the old stuff, like not treating women as property, had been kept on. The other just hate the Russian state a whole lot. Tias posted:The Danish pagan associations leadership is still taken over by members of a blót guild that are nazis in all but name. These good old blut und bacon folks claim that the faith is tied to nordic blood, despite the fact that no evidence for this can be found in the hávamál, nor in any saga or myth associated with the faith And this is why I can't get rune tattoos without looking like a white supremacist. Which I really really hate.

Lots. See if you can find other people who are going to (I'm guessing??) midnight Mass so that you can say "Ten of us have religious obligations that night, can you please reschedule, because I'm sure people in the audience will have the same issue"?

Turns out it was the university itself that forced us to do it; they booted us out of what would be our normal slot so they could have a major hoopla in the central auditorium/concert space on campus. Ughhhh this is so infuriating.

I mean it'd be valid if I took it, but I'd feel bad citing an obligation conflict: it's not that I need to go to Vigil, just that I prefer it. I can fulfill my religious obligations just fine by going the next morning instead.

Hating the Russian state is a noble tradition that's at least 200 years old.

the difference between the Dream of the Rood and the fake news explosion is mass literacy the difference between the fake news explosion and 17th century printed works is very little whatsoever edit: also widespread lay literacy and the printing explosion predate copyright by hundreds of years so pirated media is also a thing in the 17th century, like the second volume of Don Quijote mentions a whole bunch of fake second volumes that came out right after the first one got popular you'd probably have to be careful your fake media didn't come with viruses then too HEY GUNS fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Dec 6, 2016 |

HEY GAL posted:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/07/charleston-church-shooting-dylann-roof-trial-mother-emanuel I'm not trying to imply anything but I think it has more to do with being a community that has experienced a lot of systemic corruption surrounding the justice system, especially the death penalty, that has left many people in that community with little to no confidence in the system as a whole. Though applying that distrust and desire to see the system reformed to someone like roof is somewhat unexpected. But I can understand why the black community as a whole might not see the death penalty in the same way as the white community.

HEY GAL posted:Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them who shamefully use you... Look at post-apartheid South Africa; a lot of politically active anti-apartheid black South Africans were simply "disappeared" along with their families by the Project Coast guys, and it seems likely that very few of the perpetrators will ever be brought to justice, but the black South Africans practice forgiveness anyway. Which actually raises an interesting question that I've struggled with. Is forgiveness good in this instance? Would being obstinate in forgiving the apartheid government for their crimes make secular justice more likely to happen? Or is it simply the only avenue available for black South Africans for reconciliation and healing in the face of the reality of a corrupt judicial system?

Arsenic Lupin posted:Note that there's a separate issue, one churches differ on, of whether the death penalty itself constitutes justice. I'm pretty sure that official Catholic doctrine is anti-death-penalty? Myself, I incline to believing that the death sentence is irrevocable, and that life imprisonment allows people the chance to repent, and allows the system to backtrack from false convictions. Official Catholic doctrine is that the death penalty is permissible, but if there's a way to keep society safe from a violent individual that doesn't involve chopping off that individual's head, non-fatal punishments are better. Some Catholics have criticized this for focusing too much on society and not at all mentioning a state's right to retributive punishment, but I think the implication is intended to be "whether or not you have a right to hang cattle thieves, a just society would forego that right", not "oops we forgot to mention that the government is still entitled to electrocute folks".

HEY GAL posted:oh, no doubt, but you could extend The Phlegmatist's question to all punishments administered by someone who isn't you. Is it OK to demand [x] even if you've forgiven the person who wronged you? I don't think demanding a particular sentence is compatible with forgiveness. Accepting that there are civil penalties for actions and being content with whatever those are is different. If I have forgiven someone for their crime against me, my part in it is done. If the civil authorities drop the charges and set him free, or it they lock him up for life is not my direct concern at that point. Actions have consequences beyond my control. I'm responsible for what I can control.

In Germany the courts put it even more directly; over here you are sentenced “in the name of the people“. That phrase had got an interesting history, by the way. Before 1918 it was “in the name of the emperor/king/duke/whatever“, depending on where in Germany you were. During the Weimar Republic it was “in the name of the Reich“, which the Nazis changed to “in the name of the German people“. In the years after the war, but before the reestablishment of a German state it was (and this is just a delicious fact imo) “in the name of the Law“. They probably decided on partially reusing the Nazi phrasing afterwards because after 1949 suddenly there were two German states, but still only one German people.
