  • Edit: rereading this, I read it inverse last time.

    How is tribal level homophobia and contract based marriage a new idea to Abrahamic religions? It’s literally in the ancient texts, which they follow (increasingly, the more Orthodox the group)

    Edit edit therefore I disagree with the premise. They are indeed PRESENT currently, and a serious issue, all over the world. But they aren’t new. It was pretty hard to be “industrial” at much of anything many hundreds of years ago, but that doesn’t mean bigotry and tribalism weren’t widespread.

    I’m not discounting the conversation on military tech and such, I’m just staying focused on the point I made.

















  • I never walk away with an “answer” without having it:

    1. Cite the source
    2. Lookup the source
    3. Permlink you to the source page/line as available
    4. Critique the validity of the source.

    After all that, still remain skeptical and take the discussion as a starting point to find your own primary sources.
