It's not really mentioned today in public spheres, but in academia, it's stated pretty confidently that the first accounts of Genesis weren't exactly creation "ex nihilo". Language such as "the Earth was a formless void when Elohim created the heavens and the Earth", and "darkness of the deep" refers directly to the primordial ocean or "water" that preexisted creation.
The original account was much closer to its near-east cousins (specifically Enuma Elish/Marduk) where a Demiurge figure doesn't exactly snap material into existence, but rather takes a preexisting chaotic existence/material (the waters) and forms it into a structured universe.
Excellent use of probabilistically. Fun fact: I made the primordial waters. I really had to piss and had no where to go but the plane of nonexistence, sorry about that.
Can you write a ministack™ about your theory on why Black people love Sonic and hate Mario, I remember you had a comment on iFunny about it
Hmm, I'm thinking I ought to write a whole nice big stack of various mini-stacks. Black people don't hate Mario, I would say they're indifferent towards him
I would assume it's more passive aggression rather than hatred or indifference. I've noticed on Twigger and IRL if they're 100% Sonic and 0% Mario (≥90% of black video game players, maybe even black people in general), there's an underlying inferiority complex / underdog mentality against Mario per the results of the console wars, (more recently, each movie's box office) as well as general popularity & recognizability. The aggression comes out in envy of Mario's success when they can't ignore it (pfft, that kiddie shit, sonic is waaaay cooler [despite sonic also being kiddie shit]) or when somebody decides to start the retarded Mario vs Sonic thing again.
I may even say the situation is comparable to Superman & Goku.
"However, the idea that everyone alive is ripe for conversion and complete initiation, that I would say is a later Abrahamic trait. For the Dharmics recognize that certain people are not fit for full initiation in this lifetime, and that they are spiritually inferior in some sense to those who are." A rather intriguing point, I must state that the bible itself goes into this avenue with the parable of a farner sowing seeds. To summarize, the farmer is a preacher and the seeds are the word of God. Some find fertile soil (the spiritually aware) and the seed shall thrive in them. Some seeds will land upon bramble (the bramble being worldly vices) and thrive for a time before being choked out by said bramble. Finally, some would land upon the rocks (those who care not for the spiritual) and bear no fruit. We are called to preach that all may be made known of God's glory and saved, but it is known that there are those who do not care for such.
u talking about monasticism and i was thinking of zoroastrian influence on islam with the hate on monastics and u talking about it later on is some “in my walls” type shit wtf
Idolatry is gay, we must go back to the early aryan tradition of worshipping outside with no temples or idols. I also like how Paul alludes to this in Acts with the unknown God
The Aryans did have idols, albeit maybe with less focus on them than Semites, but worshipping natural elements like sacred trees is also a form of idolatry
"early Aryan tradition" except the PIE had idols, and although we cannot know for certain, its probable that the burial mounds doubled as axis mundi, social gathering places, and sacred spaces.
This article is filled historical inaccuracies and common Modern Western myths about Abrahamic religion.
1. Religious wars, genocides and intolerances didn't originate with Abrahamic Religion, they are just as old as Religion itself. Religious violence and persecutions were far more common throughout the entire Ancient world (especially between 1500BC-100AD) than any time afterwards especially in Rome (which persecuted and oppressed most minority religions not just Christians), Mesopotamia and Ancient India, and they are more common among Hunter Gatherers than the rest of Humanity. The ancient world wasn't some utopia of religious tolerance like many Western Atheists and Neo-Pagans think it was.
2. The concept of Creation ex Nihilio did not originate from Abrahamic religions either. It can be found in many Pre-Socratic Greek Philosophers as well as several different ancient and folk religions worldwide. The Bible & Quran themselves never actually say that God created the universe "out of nothing", that's just a common interpretation that was never actually the official dogma of most Abrahamic sects.
3. Being anti-Idolary isn't a unique creation of Abrahamic Religion either, it's a Semi-Universal amongst world religions as nearly all of them have sects or movements than reject making images of their gods for a variety of reasons. Multiple Greek Philosophers and ancient Hindu gurus also rejected idolatry for example, as well as some entire cultures like many Native American tribes.
4. Finally the "only my religion is correct" mentality didn't start with them either, nor was Christianity the first religion to market itself to literally everyone. Both Zoroastrianism and Buddhism were doing the same thing for centuries before Jesus' era, as well as many other now extincted ancient religions.

Questioner: Ok, how do we know that Bible is this objective standard?
Stepping on an icon of Christ can be seen as tantamount to a spoken utterance rejecting Christ, not because the icon is equated to Christ himself. At least among Catholics and Orthodox Christians.

“The jewish Yahweh followers were envious of child sacrificing pagans that’s why they considered them demon” erm what the sigma
They were envious of Pagan empires that were stronger than them and would bully them. And most of them didn't sacrifice children, only some did

Christian: The Bible said that since we are sinful, our perception can be distorted and that our intuition cannot be trusted. You’ll need an objective standard and this Bible is this standard.
Questioner: Ok, how do we know that Bible is this objective standard?

Question: Isn’t that intuition?
Christian: Just-just pray and trust God…
