What does it say about women speaking again?
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.”

Equally controversial fact:
I am not obliged by law or morality to follow what is written in your fucking book either way.
My version: I don't fucking care what your dumb book says.
I used to always reply with "i'm Jewish". They gear clashed like fucking crazy. It was hilarious.
Now i'm done even vaguely entertaining these shitheels
i used to use "i'm pagan" and watch the sparks fly but that's gonna get me killed one of these days
I'm kinda blunt, and gigantic. I tell anyone trying to lecture me about religion that I'm member of the satanic temple. Which isn't a complete lie as I do donate monthly to my local one.
Didn't Mary and Joseph live together before they were married?
It was acceptable because Mary could do sick ollies at the half pipe
No, they just had a baby in a cave together and claimed it was a virgin birth.
Seriously though, I thought they were married?
I feel like if they were married it would have been expected that mary wasn't a virgin
They get married at some point after jesus is conceived, and have other children (opinion varies, catholics maintain that Mary remained a virgin)
have other children...catholics maintain that Mary remained a virgin
Joe be like "You're pregnant AGAIN! And I suppose GOD is the father AGAIN, right?" {Walks away, muttering angrily "...while I'm getting NOTHING..."}
So Jesus was a bastard?
Did you think Mary and god were married before today?
That’s right and then the virgin Jesus rose from the dead in a manger and they rolled away the lamb of god
Did God marry Mary, before he knocked her up?
No, but in his defense, neither did he live with her.
Some really unfortunate power dynamics in that relationship.
Every time I hear the word bible and fact in the same sentence the church bells start ringing in my head.
Outside the Ten Commandments (supposedly), the Bible was written entirely by fallible humans - these assholes keep forgetting that part & act like it's 100% perfect (which we know it's not simply by its own self-contradictions).
It is also important to not forget about how the Bible was formed.
What we know as the Bible is a collection of books, selected by a committee during a conclave centuries ago.
Any decision made by humans in power and influence will inevitably be favoring their own goals and politics.
There are plenty of other Christian texts that were excluded, how would they have changed Christianity if they were included?
Also an awful lot of it is about being submissive and letting people take advantage of you. At least based off what I see getting quoted all the time. Weird how it's always people who're trying to control you quoting it.
They left out the good shit. The Apocalypse of Peter preaching universal salvation and the Enoch books with all the cool stuff in them.
Also somehow the King James version is authoritative, after who knows how many links of translation phone games?
The Ten Commandments, famous for being identical and consistent across varying versions of religious scripture and sections within the same!
Excuse me but old baldy Elisha successfully cast summon shebear swarm and I posit any being able to summon and command not just a shebear but a swarm of shebears just might be infallible
That's a screenplay right there.
A whole movie about a woman who commands a gang of angry she-bears? Oh, yeah, I'd watch that.
There are so many books. It is strange that this one gets so much attention.
Controversial fact: Gondor does in fact call for aid.
But it's a Good Book don't ya know! If you just read one book it should be a Good Book.
Society changed a lot since Biblical times. They didn't "live together" in the same house, but these people certainly "lived together" in the same street or village before getting married. People didn't really have a lot of "home life" like we do now, they'd be out in the fields, or cooking in front of their home. So they'd see each other's home life and it's more "getting a house for themselves" than a big change in privacy or contact hours.
What should be controversial is pretending a goat shepherds religious book from the bronze age should have any kind of authority in the 21st century.
The Bible is very contradictory because it's a collection of books written throughout millennia, usually with prophets saying A and judges and scholars saying B (and people usually following B).
And I see Stanzi is on her Madonna-styled Trinitarian rebellion, lol. I love her content, hopefully she's not doing too many bumps!
