      Quentin Tarantino making characters that say the N word over and over or are involved in erotic foot fetish scenarios and then casting himself to play those characters.

          “Nigger”. Americans refuse to use more standard terminology like “negroid race” or “negros” and prefer to call them just “blacks”. Some local racist shit, understandable only to American racists.

            Lol, you think black people in the states want to be called “negros” or “negroid?” Lol.

            Come on over and try it out on a crowded street. I’ll be very excited to video tape for you.

            OK, I’ll give you a small benefit of the doubt that “negro” was the common and accepted term, but that was a long time ago. Even still, it literally just means black, so your point is really stupid. You’re saying Americans refuse to call them black and only call them black. It’s stupid as fuck.

            Also, for the “negroid race” thing, race is made up. Black is almost certainly more accurate than that shit.

            Finally, one last thing, calling people black is far from an American thing. It’s the norm around the world (using the native language’s word for black usually).

            I don’t know his reasoning and I have no idea what kind of person he is, but I’d rather do something uncomfortable than ask someone to do it.

            He seems more like a guy who never got past the emotional age of 13 than a racist. He probably really loved setting up a situation where he gets to rattle off an edgy, shocking round of nonsense in front of the whole country and giggle as people get offended. Your offense is probably playing into his pleasure more than the particular word he used.

      Kind of like that part in Genesis where Abraham his wife and presumably God all show that they have a cuckolding fetish while they engage in multiple cuckolding/blackmail games?

          Nope. Abraham and his wife Sarah. They like to go to other cities pretend like they weren’t married and then when someone fucks Sarah then God makes the bull pay them money. Happens multiple times. Really fucking weird. Abraham liked watching people fuck his wife and presumably so did God.

    BRB, need to make a t-shirt.

    No quote, just:

    Back: Ezekiel 23:20

    This is a disapproval to the woman. I don’t remember exactly (and I don’t want to read it again), but this isn’t a thing that Ezekiel is glorifying, but rather showing how perverse the lady was.

          For whatever reason I took “emissions like a horse” as someone who farts like a horse. I have to say horse cum makes way more sense.

            There’s a whole chapter about cum in the bible. Rules about what to do when you cum on your neighbor’s goat, what to do if you someone cums on you. Basically the whole thing is part of the tabernacle racket. Pretty much any time someone cums they have to bring birds to the tabernacle to cut in half and set fire to. Probably written by a bird seller if we’re being honest with ourselves here.

                Genesis 38:9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

                You really need to read the Song of Soloman. It’s basically a dirty love poem.

                “Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.”

                “This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.”

                " I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour."

          Those prophetical books tend to have been rewritten to make them prophetical in retrospect, so it does have that element.

          I believe it was King Josiah, ~600BCE, who compiled the books and had them lightly edited into a History of the Kingdom kinda deal. The whole theme of the Kingdom of Judea being the Rightful Leader Of The Tribes really gives it away. There’s a lot of convenient propaganda.

                Lemmy has a strong atheism bias. You’d think as much as they cling to the “rationality” of it they’d realize that the stats literally show that religious people live longer. DIYing your own tight knit subcommunity that looks out for each other and have a shared set of traditions to mark both the passage of time and provide a structure for people cope with significant life events is a LOT harder than getting one off the shelf. Like it’s super hard to even find the people who want to do that without accidentally starting a cult. Like I’ve thought about trying to find people to do regular group meditations and create holiday traditions with and then realized I’m literally describing either a cult or something that could easily become one.

                And that’s the other thing; most religions have some kind of regular meditation built in on how they relate to the world that usually focus on gratitude and prosocial behavior. Because it’s a tradition that almost always predates modern psychology they don’t always reliably meet those ends but the fact that they often do is a big part of why prayer of some kind is such an enduring tradition in most world religions.

                People are so ready to dig on humans even a few centuries back for doing stuff like singing / chanting over an tincture / extract or other concentrated medicine they’re making but how the fuck else were they supposed to time how long it takes for to brew a medicine with a narrow therapeutic range that needs to be exact? They didn’t have fucking kitchen timers!

                  Some of us have moved on from atheism to post-theism. In part, because some atheists can be very annoying. (Thanks a lot, four horsemen of the dorkalypse).

                  To your point, I do sometimes miss the music, rituals, fellowship, and liturgy of my old church. It was a mostly wholesome experience, and many of the people were very good people. In particular I miss being a member of the choir.

                  It was interesting (and revealing) when I left the church to experience which of my old friends from that church were very accepting of my walking away, and which ones wanted nothing to do with me anymore.

                  Anyway, I have found that my table top gaming groups (mostly RPG games) have helped a lot with social needs. Not a full replacement for a church, of course. But it is an activity that creates interpersonal bonds and encourages folks to be vulnerable around each other at times. And, a little bit like churches and temples, the quality of the experience can vary greatly from one group to another.
