Polyamory isn't cheating though.
Cheating is, by definition, sex with another person against your partner's will.
It's not cheating if it's consensual.
he doesn’t cheat on his wife
he doesn't cheat on his wife so far.
What I’m saying is there’s a chance a churchgoer or a pastor is doing it for selfless reasons, where that is never the case for sports.
I never said otherwise.
But the whole point here is we're talking not about selfishness we're talking about manipulation.
Manipulation of others to do ones bidding is not the purpose of sports. Panem et circenses sure but not "do my bidding proles"
And I'm extremely aware of how people act and grow up in religions: I grew up in a very hierarchical religious structure and have seen the well intentioned abuses that people earnestly trying to help inflict on others. Manipulation is manipulation, ill intentioned or otherwise. And when you get higher up in a hierarchical structure that professes faith you will reach a point where everyone knows it's fake and chooses to act otherwise.
Because none of the crew can step foot on American soil. It's a Singaporean vessel with an Indian and Sri Lankan crew. They don't have visas and so they're denied entry.
The bureaucracy of DHS knows no limits and has no compassion.
At some point in an ecclesiastical hierarchy someone is manipulating people for their own benefit, knowing they're doing so. They profess miracles while knowing there are none.
Above a certain level all you'll find are charlatans.
The only religions that do not operate like this are unaffiliated churches, mystical, or nontheistic religions like Buddhism, Jainism etc.
If you profess a god and have a hierarchical structure your leaders manipulate you for their own gain or prestige. They do not believe.
You can play sports and not be manipulating people.
You cannot lead a church and not be manipulating people, even if unwittingly.
On the One hand I live in a major metro. On the other hand I have family out in bumblefuck middle of nowhere. So I've gotta have the US only bands.
It's tragic the 1 VI Is a Europe only release. I was looking forward to picking it up in the US.
Which he's still working on.
People can do 2 things.
All good, it was just very confusing lmfao
