this is a nice introduction to Judaism in first millennium BC for lay people but it has odd biases and chooses framinings that stretch the truth at times to fit a broader cultural narrative. Yes, in the time of Jesus the Torah was stored as

And you think the above are genocides like the Armenian genocide or the holocaust? Organized and mandated as an official part of the church trying to eliminate a certain ethnic or national group? The only one that seems to fit the bill is t

I was fascinated to learn , recently that the Puritans became Unitarians! Overtime the religion wandered a lot as each generation reinterpreted what they believed- and it went from being what we call 'puritanical' to a generally m

Could you list specific genocides you feel were mandated by the catholic church? What were the motives of the church to commit genocide? Are you conflating the Spanish and Portuguese conquests with catholic church mandated genocide? I used

I think this is probably a modern bias since we tend to under appreciate the sincerity of religious beleif that many people had , historically. I'm not saying everyone did, but many did. I think the rigors of monastic life are also off

The monks have no reason that they forbid women? Just cause? INTERESTING.

To me, I think if this generation had to choose between same day delivery and walkable neighborhoods they're going for the former. Maybe that's a false dichotomy

I have a few successful colleagues (former) and friends at amazon. I don't think anyone I know who works there or has worked there liked the culture at all. For most, it's just an aspirational resume building step - it looks great

To me, a generation that is too busy to buy groceries in the store or buy goods at a physical store in general does not strike me as one to push for walkable cities. Half the urbanites I know get gassed just walking for a coffee.

I think the appeal of NYC is the cost and luxury of vacationing there. Even the skyline views - they're nice but I don't think they hold up to mountains. However, I grew up extremely rural so I am biased towards what I know and pe

I work at a megacorp doing uninspiring average software work. I found quickly that people would pigeon hole me and profile me based on very small comments - I now play everything close to the vest and even sometimes advocate for agendas I d

One of us must be using a different form of math - I take 66 AD, subtract 33 AD and get a mere 33 years You can try to push out mathew to 110 but it gets kinda tough....if there is that much of a gap between mark and mathew why do we have l

Most scholars date Mark to c. 66–74 AD, either shortly before or after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD This is essentially a few decades after the fact. It's very challenging to really try to push Mathews gospel much furt

I'm fascinated by this view, where do you find support for it in the texts? To me, and most Christians, it looks like jesis is appropriately angry, sad, happy and generally experiences a full range of human emotions in the gospels.

I think it's clear in context that the fig tree is symbolizing the kingdom of Judah, who's leaders Jesus is very critical of. In the gospels, he says they will be disowned and their kingdom given over to another. The fig tree is a

it's a symbol of the kingdom of judah..

Most critical scholars dont really think the gospels are centuries after the fact anymore, that's a 20th century position that's largely lost support. Atheists love it tho!

I'm hoping that more pre Christian Jewish texts will be found. The dead sea scrolls and similar finds did so much to enrich our knowledge of second temple Judaism, helping to support or undermine existing conjectures. I read recently a

You're the one that has no idea what Advent means in western European culture

by throwawaygal7 5y ago
Here you go: Advent is a season of the liturgical year observed in most Christian denominations as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Christ at Christmas and the return of Christ at the S

I really like this event but wish the name would be changed to something more sensitive. Would this have been named 'Kwanzaa of code' or 'Diwali of code' or 'lesser eid of code'? Of course not

Eh, without any qualifying circumstances I think you have to be pretty naive to make a positive judgment in this type of circumstance. Kim got triaged out of a social gathering, other people were given tickets instead. While there could be

This type of comments... The data you show isn't proof of anything other than ineptitude of western agencies and the freedom of the press in the west. Go look for ICMB and warhead leaks, you'll always find better and more extensiv

there are for sure plenty of pro Huawei apologists on the internet. It would be absurd to let a foreign power control critical telecom infrastructure, for that reason alone the decisions to ban and replace foreign gear is merited. This isn&

You must know you're advancing a recent idea about Hegel? I believe your viewpoint has about fifty years of age to it, and few observers made these claims prior. Now, as popular as this 'recovery' of hegel has been- it has be

This is great work! I've done similar stuff (not as nice) for some relational and document stores. But if you're talking about data lakes, like splunk, or various other similar systems - there's no standard way for writing a

This is pretty great. Some folks in the thread are suggesting using a binary format, and that's certainly a good idea for some. My business sells software that collects moderately sized (10-100TB/day) , and this data is collected

Of course it's Greek! The byzantine empire lasted another thousand years and the Greek speaking world was vast when Rome was still a republic.
