Hmm… Christian theologians have spent centuries debating whether the components of the Trinity have the same essence, substance, nature, personality, etc.—but have they considered whether they share the same ideology? What if Jesus is a socialist but the Holy Ghost is a fascist?

What if Jesus is a socialist

Everything in the bible about Jesus makes him sound like a socialist…

But that doesn’t keep church leaders in funny hats and gold. So the stories changed over the last couple thousand years

lettruthout ,

But damn, those funny hats are expensive!

Nougat ,

To be fair, it's mainly the Catholic church that has the "funny hats and gold" thing going on. Protestants are all about the expensive suits and private jets.

And oddly, the funny hats and gold guys have been relatively progressive lately. Definitely a shit history, but certainly better than their modern suits and jets competition

Francis has been okay, as Popes go. I'm not sure I would say anything so generous about the rest of the RCC.

Fiivemacs , to news in School board member blames "Holy Spirit" for making her share a Nazi meme

See, they even blame their own religions for their hatred. Abolish religion

ericisshort ,

Not so fast. By my calculation, this means the Christian god is still 66% not racist. That’s not the best percentage, but it’s still a majority. /s

givesomefucks ,

What?

God was all about wiping out entire ethnic groups due to the minor sleights of a few members.

At best Trinity Megazord is 33% not racist

ericisshort , (edited )

Yeah but all that that was so long ago. Are you implying that an ever-omnipotent and omnipresent god that exists outside of time and space can’t change?

givesomefucks ,

The Abrahmic God is immutable

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutability_(theology)

It’s literally his main character trait. And why their extremists insist we should follow their fables to the letter.

I know. I was being facetious, and I hoped that I’d given you enough context clues to understand that, but I guess I failed.

The clearest proof that the God of the New Testament doesn’t exist is that He was unable to formulate the Bible in such a way that it wouldn’t get co-opted by people with an agenda that runs contrary to His central message of tolerance and compassion.

gramie ,

Why would God divinely inspire writers to write down the story he wants to tell, but not divinely inspire it to be copied and transmitted reliably. There are hundreds of thousands of differences between various biblical texts.

Someone says that the Bible is literal truth. The only question then becomes which version of the Bible?

Bart Ehrman goes into great detail in his YouTube channel.

Who are you taking to??

Religion is cancer, but who exactly do you think is going to be able to abolish religion?

Also phaser.js is really good. It’s been around for some time so it’s very mature and stable, has great documentation and lot’s of examples.

anteaters ,

And Vampire Survivors just switched from phaser.js to Unity - wonder if they regret that now.

Moonrise2473 , to gaming in Game developers flee Unity after exorbitant price plan announced, but not everyone can get out

WTF? They paid 4.4 billions to acquire a literal malware developer?

GammaGames ,

No

Moonrise2473 ,

looks like they merged with the malware developer: techcrunch.com/…/unity-and-ironsources-4-4b-merge…

GammaGames ,

Check out my other comment, that was misleading info spread when the news first started circulating about their merger

Moonrise2473 ,

Yeah “bad actors” - but they knew what they were doing and didn’t do anything to stop it.

By pure coincidence they started to make more money from freemium games ads so they pivoted to that, and anyway being blocked by Ms defender was a death sentence. It was not “OMG bad actors are abusing our installers, and 99% of our customers are bad actors, let’s discontinue it immediately and find another market”

GammaGames , to gaming in Game developers flee Unity after exorbitant price plan announced, but not everyone can get out

It’s a malware-pushing advertising network which merged with a game engine

FYI the accusations that were flying when they merged with IronSource were misleading: IronSource malware came from “bad actors who abused the platform”

Not that it makes it any better, they will somehow be tracking installs anyway. Inaccurately, since they went from “The creator will need to pay for all future installs. The reason is that Unity doesn’t receive end-player information, just aggregate data” to “The spirit of this program is and has always been to charge for the first install and we have no desire to charge for the same person doing ongoing installs” in the span of 24 hours. I’m having a hard time trusting anything they say.

TipRing ,
@TipRing@kbin.social avatar

Even if they are not currently lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs. They have shown that they will arbitrarily change their pricing structure. There is no way they can be trusted. Anyone who can move their project to a new engine would be wise to do so.

@KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Even if they aren’t lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs, some asshole is going to create a bot net which spams unique installs for developers they don’t like, skyrocketing the number of “installs” and therefore the cost to do business.

all animals are obviously way more intelligent than science gives them credit for. humans were just so callous and careless for centuries that we didn’t bother to pay them any respect. like obviously crabs feel pain when you boil them, why the fuck wouldn’t they? that’s a pretty basic evolutionary mechanism

I can hear the “Six Million Dollar Man” theme music playing while reading that headline

jray4559 , to nottheonion in Nebraska governor signs executive order defining men as "bigger, stronger and faster"
@jray4559@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

There is a missing “on average” in the title of this headline, which completely negates the oniony part of the sentence.

This bill did not say that men were exclusively bigger, stronger, and faster, or that women weren’t. It just said that, on average, they are, which is true.

Why that is in an executive order, honestly, there is no good reason for it, but the principle is still the same: lying by omission is still lying, especially in a culture where people only read headlines.

g0nz0li0 ,

You got it right here but nevertheless missed the point pretty hard. What he said and how he said isn’t the point of the article: what he did and why he did it is what is newsworthy.

It’s about transgender athletes, I’m guessing.

Guess no one in that state has met Starla. Nobody thinks I’m a failure because I go home to her at night.
