Are these eight genders common (as common as trans people are) in the modern day? Were they common during the temple period? You got me curious now, because I’ve heard that Judaism has 8 genders but never really any examples of people who were one of the eight genders, like was there a respected rabbi or other figure who was explicit one of these genders?
I’m just wondering if Judeo Christian would be an accurate term for the two religion’s view on gender conformity. I checked Deuteronomy 22:5 with both the Christian 21st century KJV version and the Jewish Contemporary Torah (2006) version and they both say the same thing.
I’m asking due to recent events and if you don’t want to answer that’s entirely understandable.
Judeo-Christian isn’t an accurate label for anything except people trying to pretend they 1) aren’t Islamophobic and 2) know something about religion. It’s mostly used by supercessionists trying to go “look, it’s not because I’m Christian, the Jews think that too!” while the Jews stand on the sidelines going “…..you think we think what now?”
Incidentally, Judaism has eight genders.
“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.
How many mass graves and extinct cultures are needed to convince Christian apologists that missionaries and missionizing are inherently xenophobic?
The answer is apparently always, "At least one more."
This is just my conjecture but regarding the Red Crescent isn’t it possible that RC staff just… aren’t able to resist Hamas forcing them to smuggle weapons even if they said no? Considering that I’d imagine RC workers don’t have any combat skills or weapons and Hamas personel are… well yknow., it wouldn’t be surprising if they’re just scared into / forced into doing it
Not saying it’s great but I’m just saying I kinda don’t blame them if they’re forced or pressured, when the people forcing you have insane hyper-extreme beliefs i wouldn’t blame them
so a thing i think people don't always get:
spammers lie.
if you get spam, they are lying. yes, really.
if you get spam from someone claiming they were vetted, the conclusion you should reach is not "ahh, this one is legitimate", it is "oh, the entity vetting them is part of the grift".
i know it sounds horrifying to imagine someone so unthinkably depraved that they would say a false thing on the internet, but i have to say, it's... actually pretty normal.
always remember that fake proof is a central component of scamming people who are careful enough to check, but not careful enough to think about whether the way they're checking is actually meaningful.
honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister
Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.
"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.
You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:
I made a small drabble based on this
Why are you garbage for blocking people without giving them a chance? Was it something political or down right stupid?
