That's a pretty interesting way of remembering what you said. What you said was:


"first of all, my teacher's a woman. way to be all sexist and whatnot"

This, this was a joke? I took it seriously. I thought you were seriously offended that, not knowing the gender of a person, I used he instead of she. I honestly thought you were seriously calling me a sexist, which is a tremendously serious offense.

I had a disagreement with you, and I was trying to make reasonable arguments because I thought that there was a dialogue and then out of the blue I'm being called a sexist. Now, you say that you were joking, but I didn't know that. How was I to?

i am insulted you think i would use whatnot unironically in this the year of our lord twenty seventeen

While we're all arguing, can we settle the filioque issue? Also is the Immaculate Conception real, and are good works are necessary for salvation? I reckon Jesus had two natures, but both of them were an indistinguishable mixture of divine and human.

I apologize for joking around in a way where you felt like you were being singled out for rhetorical belittling; all I can say is that I see and hear the word whatnot used without often (and notably recently when I listened to the vile Daniel Holtzclaw interrogation video where he nervously tosses the word around out of stress and pressure) and thus felt like you were actually calling me sexist for writing the word "he." This does not excuse me for being a bit mocking, as I reacted while feeling like I was being attacked in a less than exemplary manner. It seems like much of what I say, you find personally insulting and hateful. Perhaps it would be better for you to just block me, so that you don't feel any further anxiety while participating in the ongoing dialogue.

Guys, calm down. God is above such limited concepts as human notions of gender, and so we shouldn't let such things define our perception of fellow human beings. Mistakes were made, so move on.

During my brief time as a Sunday School minister I had a kid call me up at 2 AM, waking me up. He was threatening suicide because he was gay and his parents wouldn't accept it. I had to talk him down from it. Do you *think* I don't know what goes on in churches today? Do you *think* I don't care? There's bad poo poo going down, but I'm here on the right side of the tracks trying to correct everyone slowly. We need more people like me.

/me takes bait

If Jesus did not have an unmixed human nature, he wasn't 'like us in all things but sin'; if Jesus did not have an unmixed divine nature, he wasn't God and thus did not have the authority to forgive sins that weren't committed against him as a man, but he forgave total strangers who hadn't done anything to him. (And to preempt the next argument, sin does not make someone human; sinning diminishes someone's humanity.)

Even expressing the reason behind one's opinion on That Topic is super-duper against the rules because it just doesn't go well. I love me a good "no, you're the one whose position is hateful and abhorrent!!!1eleven" argument, but I would rather it not happen to this thread.

Ah, Josef Bugman, I always knew you were a good person with good tastes. The Glorantha series has the most thought-provoking depictions I've encountered of mythology and its role and its relativity between cultures.

The Invisible God is Glorantha's closest approximation to the monotheist god, but as far as I'm aware, there is no Gloranthan approximate of Jesus Christ, the material presence of the Invisible God, who "has chosen not to eliminate suffering, but to suffer with humanity."

But of course, players, you can fulfill this role ;)

edit: this whole thread should play Glorantha together. I know that in death, we most certainly will.

This is from while back, but from my reading Malkion can be considered sort of Jesus, in that he was the sacrifice that needed to die in order to experience something He hadn't understood. But we could also say that Hreostal was Jesus as well in that he dies for his new faith having tried to convert everyone, even the Vadelli, to his new and better understanding of Solace.

But in truth you could even say that the White Moon of Peace is a representative aspect of Jesus in that it will rise and bring forth a new age of peace when the red moon empire withers away.

I love Glorantha and I make no apologise for it.

Shut up and look at this church.



Burgos cathedral is a good example of how a gothic cathedral fits in with the city. Its architecture makes you look up.

Now take that same basic awesome design, and build it with stone available locally.



Albi is built out of red bricks.

Respect. I have an interest in military history and science as a current necessary reality of statecraft, though I don't think I myself am an aggressive person. I'm thoughtful of the Orlanthi saying, "Violence is always an option." It's considerable even if one is not considering the role of the aggressor.

I'm also thoughful of what the 31st chapter of the Dao De Jing says about violence and war, and that victory in war ought to be observed like a funeral.

yeah--the more you learn about conflict, the more you learn about what a terrible thing war is. little kids are all hoorah-violence, teenagers on the internet yelling about tanks, but then you talk to people who have actually been hurt, or the relatives of the dead, and you stop thinking like that.

You'd hope that things like the internet and the ability to talk to people who've suffered loss would reduce the human appetite for war. But as usual we continue to go "well this time it'll work out good".

Definitely.

As I get older, I only get more humbled by the deadly seriousness of life, and therefore of one's relationship to the ultimate meaning, the telos, the imperatives of God. There was agonizing to do in the privacy and night of the garden. :(

And then there was resurrection to do, and the joy of eternal life and the victory of the Kingdom of Heaven. :)

I confess I am not familiar enough the real history of the Crusades to answer well, but in general I would exhort Christians to consider taking up the cross the way the Christ did, and he did not raise armies to wage expeditionary warfare.
