I lol’d at the part where he denied having sex with a porn star. Outrageous after just being convicted for misuse of campaign funds to bribe a porn star because he had sex with her.

Trump is playing pigeon chess. Strutting around, telling lies, shitting all over everything, and will leave telling everyone he won.

No policy debate. Zero.

It’s a torrent of bs from trump. It comes out so fast that there’s no way to cover it all and still get facts out along with future policy statements.

“This guy is stupid” is the rebuttal trump uses most.

He’s not answering Jan 6 directly.

And he’s blaming Pelosi? For Jan 6? Did I hear that right?

Joe is pissed, I think. He can’t get the rebuttals out quick enough and it’s messing up his composure. That’s the problem though, trump tells so many lies so fast that Biden simply cannot cover them all.

Oh, we’re leading into trump word salad. He’s just spooling off stream of consciousness of trump great + Biden bad and he just strings together whatever thoughts pop into his head. That’s all he’s got.

Trump can’t lie fast enough.

This is awful without fact checking.

Good lord all trump does is do “this guy over here…” bs and drags up every right wing meme piece of “fact”, and they’re all garbage.

mIRC/IRC is still going, right? Haven’t used that in probably a decade.

No matter where you go, there you are.

People are people. There’s always way going to be someone climbing the ladder to put themselves at the top, just random what tools they choose to use to get there.

Every religion apart from Christianity dies without lies

Quoted for posterity.

There it is. Your true colors.

I guess religion and atheism are on equal footing, then.

Don’t you love it when your bologna smiles back?

“There are NO conspiracies but there are NO coincidences — Stephen K. Bannon.”

Gotta love that pseudo-intellectual self-quote.

“Me when I lie”?

Go talk to the wiki I got that from if you want to argue with someone else about whether something is true or not.

That’s not what I said.

However, like Arthurian Legend, it doesn’t mean some guy like Jesus didn’t exist, or an aggregate of characters weren’t assembled to be him on story.

That’s what I said.

I used Arthur as a fellow mythology, along with a conditional “or” he could be an aggregate character.

The moment of resurrection itself is not described in any of the gospels, but all four contain passages in which Jesus is portrayed as predicting his death and resurrection, or contain allusions that “the reader will understand”. The New Testament writings do not contain any descriptions of a resurrection but rather accounts of an empty tomb.

So therefore I stand by the premise that changes have been made, and what existed in 100 is not what we have today.

You’ll have to forgive me if I bow out. I do not share your beliefs, nor am I willing to continue to argue over religious texts that are self-referencing to constitute proof.

See, now you’re moving the goalposts. You made a sweeping statement that Christianity is as-is compared to the first century CE. Yet here you are breaking it down and excluding things.

Let’s just face it, you don’t mean Christianity as a whole is same as 2kyr ago. It isn’t. They held on to some facets of it, got rid of others, but kept the main themes like resurrection and the like. Heck, there are even some that suggest the resurrection story was added centuries later.

Nonetheless they are different. And you skipped past the whole “little is known” part, not to mention all the parts that got tossed out along the way.

I offered my informal CV. Lemmy and the Fediverse the largest group I’ve ever offered any service to. My largest group is just over 1,800, but it’s a relatively homogeneous group needing little mod activity. The commuinity is free to comment on my history, stupidity (lol) and bias. I figure it’s fair considering he job app. I’ll offer that I respect and enjoy (even if it’s verbal sparring) the prospect of opposing reasonable views on Lemmy vs the bots, tropes, reposts, and crabs-in-a-bucket karma-whores on Reddit.
