What is that, Aramaic?

For most New Testament stuff, mostly koine Greek (remember, the Gospels were largely WRITTEN something like 70-100 years, or longer, after-the-fact).  For OT stuff, mostly Hebrew, but some Aramaic there.

Wait, they weren’t first hand accounts written by the people who were there, near contemporaneously?  Shocking.  How is Jesus quoted with the red letters?

Exactly. Most people don’t know this, but there are subtle distinctions on the Bible’s direction on in-vitro fertilization due to language differences.

We need to start seeing Affliction and Monster stickers on the backs of trucks again. These guys will disassociate from disappointing political reality and need a new badass cool dude club to show everyone they belong to.

When the Ed Hardy shirts start coming off the shelves again that will be the tell

Now explain the writings from the Apostles that are excluded from the Bible.

Sure - per my wife, the reasoning is a stewpot of legitimate concerns about authenticity and good old-fashioned "we don't like what this says because it would threaten our personal political interests/goals, so let's exclude it."

The "Bible" is a mess.  Insisting that you're studying the full measure of Christianity by just reading the English translation of certain writings that were approved by politically motivated men is a recipe for missing the mark.....AND, because there's so much play in the steering wheel, "the mark" is always going to be impossible to hit perfectly.  So, some humility and some "but we may have this wrong" is necessary.

Yeah religions realize pretty quickly that they will fail if they keep this line.

She specifies the NY office of the FBI, which is notoriously a bunch of Republicans who've been ratfucking Dems for years. It wouldn't really make sense to target them in the purge. This feels like Bondi and some others in the administration had actually convinced themselves that a lot of Epstein files were way more damning for Democrats than Republicans, while the New York office knew the truth so hid/destroyed them, and now they're all scrambling for some explanation for why they don't have anything on any Dems.  

I feel like you haven't been watching closely. It's not enough to be Republican to be safe. You have to be a certain type of Republican. In fact, not being enough of a certain type of Republican is the best way to commit political suicide right now. 

This isn't about purging Democrats. This is about purging anyone who is not sufficiently loyal. 

If someone tried to tell me the FBI traditionally has been a Democratic Party bastion in the federal government I'd laugh in their face. It's not a matter of if the FBI has been sufficiently progressive or conservative in their outlook. The Trump administration wants complete control of the domestic security force. 

Judicial system.

Military.

Internal police force.

That's how you take over complete control of the government. After that you control other mechanisms, too, including the media. but first you need to control the judiciary, the military, and domestic security. If the Trump administration has their way, I assume we're going to see some mechanism to purge judges at some point. Could be a reconstituted FBI that does it, if they're successful.

It’s the word of god, duh. Or, schizophrenia. Or, just made up bullshit.

Lol, you uh, haven't been around here much the past... like 12 years if you think I'm not aware of all of this.

I'm just responding to the post. I'm not aware of your posting history.

In California, property taxes are based on original purchase price, with an annual limit increase of 1%.

My neighbor's property tax is 2x mine because I bought the house before the sharp increase the past few years.

There is no fuckery with annual assessed values, so it's predictable on how much I'll owe every year.

 

State income tax is progressive and tops out at 12.3%. We're in the 9.3% bracket (thought it was 10%. So yay?)

Heretical as it is, I often feel like arguments over biblical details are like listening to two Trekkies scrutinizing minutiae of an episode for meaning.

 

These are stories written long ago by fallible humans with their own agendas, followed by generations of informational decay as the stories are translated and passed down. If you believe the words represent inerrant directions of your God, good luck with that.

I made this argument to my college roommate, who happened to be a Baptist preachers son.  His answer?  Oh, God makes sure that doesn't happen.

Reference my comment above, "My word is The Word."  When you are just a vessel for God's word, well then, whoever challenges you must be incorrect.

I’m 100% aware Texas is a high tax state especially if you have an expensive home.

but yall all assume we are selling our house and moving 100%. We will do what we have to do to comply with residency requirements but my ex is here and my kids are 3 years out from graduating….. so we will have two houses and income tax in an income tax state and property tax in a high property tax state for the next 3-4 years. So we will be penalized until we can sell and move completely. 

I am not going to be the asshole that these others are trying to be but I think you are making a huge mistake here. We keep hoping this administration will stay on the rails and be somewhat civilized but all that has jumped the shark. I personally think Trump is officially a dictator and we are very close to some marginalized community being persecuted and I don't mean verbally. They usually come for the smallest community first and you are part of that community. I would not only get away from here as fast as I could but I would also have a go bag for leaving the country at the ready. I think it will get that bad.

I would pay a 10% tax on literally everything if it meant getting rid of these cocksuckers. Hell I'd pay 10 bucks every time I jerked off. That's a lot of money. 

Looking in on @NorthLoop paying his Jerkoff tariff.
