Sounds like you’ve already done a fair amount of homework yourself. Threads like these are often just an excuse for people to preach their own personal preference so I think your should use your own experiences and future projects to guide

Sorry yeah. I don’t know why I shouldn’t trust tapping on someone’s iPhone but it doesn’t scream “professional shop” in the same way that those card readers do. Even though those card readers are very cheap and ostensibly work the same, the

What you’re describing there is a little like the difference between those who like to have tidy desks vs those who don’t. You’ll often find that some who work in organised chaos still know exactly where everything is. Is their organisation

We’ve gone through all this already. For someone who’s advocating we read, you’re having a hard time doing that yourself. The sad thing is I genuinely would have enjoyed your insights into the Bible but I guess that was too much to ask. As

The issue here is you’ve focused on the political context and not on the actual reason I disagreed with the recommendation, which was: 1. It’s not authentic for a plethora of reasons (you disagree on that point, which is fine) 2. Even treat

I got that but you’re being disingenuous to my point by distilling it down to the gender of the author. I’d never suggest one should read or not read a book because of the gender of the author. My point was that the sincerity and authentic

Reading something unenjoyable just for the sake of not having to read something else that you might enjoy doesn’t sound like a particularly compelling reason to read the first book. Besides, if all you’re trying to do is compress lessons in

You post as if the only argument I made was about the gender of the authors but that’s not the case. I had also made points about why it’s also not a good book from a literacy standpoint too. My point was it doesn’t work either as a factual

I wasn’t saying I don’t agree with any political messaging. I was saying it’s an objectively bad book to read by modern literary standards. Even those in this thread defending the Bible has literally said it’s not something you’d read cover

It does when those books were purposely excluded because the author was female. It also matters a lot when one of the books excluded was written by the person who was actually closest to Jesus too. Thus her accounts should surely matter at
