I don't think that's a fair statement. For example, a large majority of denominations (I'd say >80%) agree on something like the Apostle's Creed [1]. But yes, for less core doctrines, there are sometimes dozens of fla

Yes, this is accurate, they have a whole element of "tradition" that gets encompassed into teachings. However, I may be wrong, but these "traditions" mostly came out of areas where the Bible wasn't super clear. I su

What do you mean? There are plenty of "modern" interpretations. New scholarly commentaries come out almost every year. My point is that, among these, the prevailing assumption continues to be one that doesn't support same-sex

Curious, do you think he's wrong that it's at odds with what was taught by the apostles? It's obviously unpopular, but I have yet to see a convincing argument (based in the teachings of the Bible) that promotes same-sex marri

This is exactly how I use agent mode in Cursor. I’ve never understood why I would use aider. Am I missing something else?

I'm still trying to pinpoint exactly why Oregon has some of the worst scores in the country (I believe it ranked dead-last this year when adjusted for socio-economic factors). When I see what's going on around me, I can only think

Ha, I figured someone was going to come with a retort like that. Fair, but it would be better to compare it to running a distributed postgres cluster on your local mac.

To suggest that Kubernetes doesn't fall under the scope of "battle tested" is a bit misleading. As much as systemd? Of course not. But it's not 2016 anymore and we have billions of collective operational hours with Kuber

Yes, it was indeed a shameful war. Bloodier though? Not from my understanding. Happy to be corrected, though.

Thanks, but I was looking for an explanation of the "hardly more bloody" comment. I briefly looked up casualties for the things you listed and it's not even remotely close to the deaths attribute to Mao.

I would say that material decay, neglect, economic collapse, war, and changing cultural priorities played a far greater role in the loss of these texts rather than the ones lost to zealous Christians. It's just weird to single that gro

Wasn't communism influenced heavily by being anti-capitalist? They fundamentally disagreed with the tenants that the United States stood on. Your comment, if I'm understanding it correctly, makes it look like the communists were j

I didn't realize Early Christianity had a monopoly on the destruction of books? As far as I know the burning of rival civilizations has been happening for thousands of years.

Personally, I tend to get irritated when someone swings 10-15 mph over/under the current speed limit. I often have to speed around them to avoid them. I probably would care less if the car just followed their erratic behavior for me.
