Jesus was remarkably quiet on the man on man sex front. Some have even suggested he was gay. As well as the rather strange 'naked youth' reference in the Gospel of Mark, there is also the miracle of the centurion's 'servant'. The Greek word used in the original text can be translated as both...
Yes, but it is also notable that not being married is not mentioned, in the canonical Gospels, at least. A Jewish man at that time not being married would have been considered scandalous. It is therefore strange that it is not mentioned, and justified. Some Essene sects may have practised some...
Jesus was a Jewish male so, if he did exist, I think it is highly likely he was married. And had children.
The Quran relates that one of Jesus's miracles was making birds from clay and breathing life into them. This miracle isn't in the 4 canonical Gospels but it is in the non-canonical Gospel...
You need to come back into the loving arms of Jesus, Aubs. If Jesus were alive today I could see him being vegan.
Whereas Mohammed - nah. For a thousand years Christendom thought that Allah wasn't the same God as that of Abraham and Moses - but rather was Satan himself. And it wasn't the voice...
Yes, I was referring to legal migration - i.e. people who 'choose' to move to a new country. In the UK people from India and Pakistan come in greatest numbers. Not people from Somalia or Syria. I don't think people from India or Pakistan would choose to come to the UK if they thought it was...
You brought up systemic racism - now you seem to be talking about prejudice towards refugees, which is a very different thing. I was referring to legal migration. Which in Europe, at least, far outstrips illegal migration. I wouldn't emigrate to a racist country. Would you?
Don't you think it...
Fascism is vile. In an authoritarian state an artist as contrarian and big mouthed as Morrissey would be the first to go.
Racism is vile. Hating someone just because they look or talk differently from you is beyond contempt. And immigration is of course a good thing. As long as it is controlled...
Systemic racism - now you are being even more vague. Equity of outcome is a very dodgy aspiration. And if the West is so racist, why are 'people that look and speak differently than you and me' coming to the West in their millions? They clearly disagree with you. And are clearly trying to escape...
In your previous post you were berating people worshiping at altars and blindly believing universal truths.
Saying that 'racism does exist' is a bit like saying that 'badness' or 'evil' exists. Probably, although they are all rather vague terms.
Do you mean that in your view racist ideas or...
Agreed. But others also fail to understand that their opinion (or the ideology that they worship at the altar of) isn't perhaps the universal truth that they believe. And everyone who does not blindly agree with them isn't necessarily a far right racist.
