>Pretty much no mainline Christian sect believes the Bible was directly authored by God and is infallible.

You’re joking, right?
A lot of mainline Christians believe the Bible was direct verbatim from Jehovah

Which is why I don’t like the idea of “re-education” as some form of moral correction for reavtionaries

Sex happened not not in the modernized Anglo American gestures that you think.
Stop imposing modern cultural impressions onto the past, especially sexual ones. It’s annoying.

>You are saying that there's one word which is badly translated (and not even "mistranslated") and has been made better through Biblical scholars.
I already explained that I don't think it was deliberate. Mistranslated means badly translated, in terms of how I was using the word.
>One word out of a million is is not a sold defense for your apathy.
Apathy means indifference.
>The majority of Biblical scholars are atheists,
And they agree with me
>yet reddit atheism is of your own kind, since you languish in arrogant slogans.
If I were a reddit Atheist this conversation would have gone differently. For one thing I wouldn't have been nearly as patient or thoughtful in my replies, and I would have used phrases like "your sky daddy" to mock you. But like I said, the term "reddit Atheist" has been worn out to no longer just refer to that kind of insufferable liberal imperialist Atheism from the 2000s and 2010s.

Is this Asherah the same one that’s referred to as Astarte or Ashorath or Ishtar?

>>810325
There isn't, and you're treading a dangerous line even considering that there might be.

fuck you, we are in a gender war and I'm the only man brave enough to say it loud in this place

I love women and I’m man

>single childless and pretty
Heh funny how you mix in that men shpuld be raising other men's children as a complaint against men. You guys can't help yourself but go over the top with your contempt.

Let me guess:
<You are a "transbian" on hrt to replace your evil male hormones.
<You are into femdom and want to be castrated by a biological female just like in your anime comic.

This you? You dont look half bad. How many months on E?

>Why do people with gender dysphoria looks traumatized
This is one of the bad side effects of treating trans identity as wholesome chungus self affirmation. As if being trans is no different from being a goth girl or growing out your armpits.

>>809117
Id say a bit less than a year. 8-10 months maybe. Im not an expert though and im not trans so dont be mad if im wrong

cause its not a machine. a perpetual motion machine is supposed to be a man made machine that is capable of generating energy infinitely with little force applied to it, like vid related but not fake. the sun isnt a machine and grabbing its energy is too hard to actually change anything about our society, whereas if these machines could work irl theyd probably make energy so cheap we'd be swimming in it

>>809782
You meant to say a machine is a man made object that uses energy to do work.

I view the sun as a machine, but naturally made. But then again, that may be my anthropocentrism acting up

Also are you saying the perpetual motion machine in the vid is fake?

Also, I don’t think perpetual motion machines may be an actuality because nothing lasts forever. Mass and energy are limited

In order to generate perpetual power, it requires something else to change its physical/chemical state. Unless you have a way of capturing byproduct material that can be instantly reverted back into fuel.

>it's true in the abstract therefore it's true in the actual
no man

Bump for more interesting discussion

Are perpetual motion machines actually a thing?

It sounds like alchemy

>How is the system managed 'irrationally'? What are the 'incentives'? How do they lead to 'irrationality'?
i mean these are all pretty basic marxist stances though, arent they? thats one of marxs main points in capital

Tbh it doesn't matter the "style" of capitalist managemebt and how rational or irrational the capitalists are, the irrationality is in the "necessity" of an accumulation based economy and the way everything is set up to facilitate that.

Also tbh marx didn't deny the possibility of a peaceful transition to socialism in some countries if the capitalists wisen up

>>809839
Bourgeoisie are not in control capital itself is. Its the only entity with agency.

you expect things from a post that it was obviously never intended to deliver. e.g.
>There are 'incentives' for every fucking living being on this planet. Hot tip: it might have to do with material conditions
yes: but "material conditions" is familiar to every poster here, while i am quite possibly the only leftypol user who will tell you to look at incentives. part of my purpose is to invite people to look at the problem in a new way.
>Then you proceed to shift the topic entirely.
because that's a reply to an entirely different post! someone said Keynesianism was a better way of managing capitalism, so there was an extended digression about why this isn't the case.

i may return and do a fuller response, but i am not convinced it is a good use of time. first of all, you've replied "line by line" in a bad faith way which makes a well structured response impossible, second of all you're clearly not very good at it. there are "no concrete examples" of "overregulation" you say, right before getting mad at a concrete example about airline deregulation which - and i know this requires you to draw a very obvious inference - must have been overregulated if deregulating it was a good thing. "what are the incentives, how do they lead to irrationality" - this is answered at length if you keep reading! the incentives are for legislators to focus on tax cuts that benefit incumbent firms over deregulation which benefits new firms! this is like you reading an essay that goes "this paper will demonstrate x" and immediately going
>This paper will demonstrate x
<HOW? HOW WILL IT DO THAT?
read on! read for the year! read on! read a little! i'll read on!

given this, trying to address any of the complex points (like the distinction between an evolutionary and a planned process) would be a doomed endeavour. so the only points that feel worth addressing (because they are quite brief and easy) are:

• fuel efficiency: in a marketplace where the government sets ticket prices and restricts competition so that airlines are always profitable, the relative advantage of buying more expensive, more fuel efficient planes is lower than in one where airlin

Men with cloakas

“Incels” have no sense of self. They’d rather let themselves be harassed and patronized by mean girls for a crumb of pussy

bitches be yapping

Not but seriously though, holy shit why do women yap so much.

>>810276
Women complain about men being loud but they themselves are just as boisterous.
They also complain about men being too tight lipped
