Ahhh it's a location thing! I thought I'd just like, Mandela effected myself my whole life 😅
That's amazing 😅 where's that name from?
Excuse me? 😂
Apologised in private for calling for the bombing or gassing of the UN in public on a show watched by millions of nutters.
Watters is a coward, a Tucker Carlson-wannabe, a loser, a creep towards women (slashing his current wife's tires and then offering a ride to her home before they were together).
He's stupid, he's malicious, and he's loud.
Actually, on reflection, he's perfect for the USA.
I always thought they were called ladybirds
Okay, so we can agree that the Bible has at least one passage that commands genocide, in that time, for those four groups? Not a gotcha, not a criticism of your faith, just a question about the content of the scripture.
Yes, I think slavery is bad even if the person in slavery is treated "well". Those Leviticus passages are interesting. Who is the "you" addressed in them? What's the meaning of "your brother" in the second - does that mean any person, or a specific "in-group" of people?
The Luke passage is nice! It seems, from just the passages I've shared and the passages you've shared, that the Bible acknowledges slavery as extant during the various periods it was written, and sits on the fence about it. Was there a passage about how much you should charge for a slave, and how you should beat them? I believe I've heard that somewhere, but can't look it up right now.
Sure, slavery was generally accepted until very recently - so would you say the bible endorses slavery, or denounces it?
Right, it's the Lord commanding people to wipe out those groups. Whether or not the command should be reflected in the current day, that passage was written. That passage contains the Lord commanding people to wipe out groups - would you agree, or disagree?
I loved the idea of that podcast but I just couldn't stomach it. One of the hosts is constantly shouting. It's like he doesn't understand how microphones work, and instead thinks he has to shout to be heard by the audience. It's been maybe a year since I tried them, and my ears are still ringing 😂
The first one is an instruction to the enslaved telling them to obey their masters, whether they're kind or cruel.
- Does that sound like the Bible says slaves should not be enslaved, should rise up and free themselves or be freed by others?
To your second point, the passage names Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The bible actually refers to these groups separately, and collectively as the "nations" that are encountered by the Israelites. These groups do (generally) have distinct identities and practices.
- The passage Deuteronomy 20:17 commands followers to "completely destroy" each of these groups. How does that not constitute any sort of genocide?
I am absolutely happy to be wrong, and I'm not intending to be hostile - I know these beliefs are deeply held and are personal, and I'm not attacking you for your faith. Just want to make that clear! 👍
Which bit?
Slavery: 1 Peter 2:18
Genocide: Deuteronomy 20:17
Obviously these are just little tasters, there's definitely more in there :)

God I wish this dork would fuck off already, along with the rest of the AI bullshit currently making investors and other business-wankers the world over cum themselves dry. It's fucking embarrassing.
