Easy, because most people do. Be it by indoctrination of their children, justification of atrocities, or by feeling self righteous, it is almost always a tool of coercion.

And people who think they're above of it all, and who think their lukewarm faith is the answer, are disgusting to the creature they claim to serve, as per the Book of Revelation, chapter 3, verses 15-16.

Very easy to cherry pick when you ignore the book of Joshua and Deuteronomy. Which include genocide, enslavement, ethnic cleansing and other atrocities, all committed by direct order of that deity.

Personally, because I take offense at anyone who proudly worships the creature who killed tons of babies and kids, just for being the firstborn of a culture and not taking in the religion of another group just for being the correct one, imposing rules on a whim and turning those who failed into salt, testing faith by asking someone to kill their child, burning up cities because it disagreed with with how some of the people in it lived, and many other atrocities.

But more to the point, because I think it is disgusting to worship a creature so powerful and stubborn that after so much interference, now allegedly just says "I'm a hands off parent now, I don't care if you poke your eye out, commit Holocaust or poison and kill men, women and children by pretending to be acting in my name, I'll just judge you after you die, k, tks, bye"

You claim to be against the sins that form the basis of your religion, and I respect that, but one can't turn a blind eye to what the scriptures say.

Absolutely based take, I applaud you and your nuance, darling.

Kinda funny how a lot of people downvote and denounce AI religiously for some things and not for others.

For me, this pic is just good fun.

I wasn't /s

But seriously, it is far easier being on the outside, pointing and casting blame, but for us old enough to remember all the people who were blackballed, run out of the business, and even murdered for exposing sexual abuse, it is hard to tell.

And on top of that, there are cases where a third party has exposed the abuse, to which both the victim and perpetrator deny the accusations, and it just ends up terribly for the whistleblower.

Yet, back to the point, we're on ~~reddit~~ lemmy, where nuance goes to die.

Allegedly, he was aware of Harvey Weinstein's abuse, at least according to Rose McGowan. And since a lot of people are reactionary as fuck, since she accused him of being aware, then they act and behave as if he was undoubtedly aware and complicit in it.

Odd, none of the pics you post load for me, even tried with a browser instead of Sync, and can't get them to load

Not everything that you don't like is AI, this is just "shitty photoshop" making it feel like it.

Matter of taste. With my last husband, we just placed both our salaries into a shared account, took all the expenses out of it, then split the remainder 50/50. Each one could do whatever they wanted with their half, and we even had a flex account for house expenses that weren't covered in the original expenses calculation, and it worked great.

Shrink wrap was the most accurate at the time, especially accounting for reptiles, which were the original inspiration for said technique.

And since most soft tissue doesn't fossilize, they were doing the best they could with the tools they had.

And while they were often wrong, I would like to see you try to guess what the animals looked like, based on skull alone, and compare your accuracy against the people you're calling lazy, probably from the comfort of your own toilet.
