"THE BIBLE MAKES PERFECT SENSE AS SOON AS YOU REALIZE IT WAS WRITTEN AT A TIME WHEN WOMEN WERE THE PROPERTY OF MEN, SLAVERY WAS COMMONPLACE, AND DEATH WAS THE PENALTY FOR MINOR OFFENSES. A TIME WHEN BELIEF IN GODS AND MAGIC WAS UBIQUITOUS, AND GODS WERE USED TO EXPLAIN EVERY UNKNOWN (WHICH WAS ALMOST EVERYTHING).

"Damn, the woke idiots have dug their claws into the Bible. Wondering whether they have the courage to transform the Koran into a gender-neutral piece of writing." #BeliefTheismChristianityBible #BeliefTheismIslamismQuran

"Monk work The Anglican Church in England will investigate whether God can become gender neutral. Our dear Lord, who art in heaven. He who is always indicated with a capital He. The church is going to consider the question of whether God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit can become non-binary in sermons and prayers. Yes, that's possible. I've already started working on it myself, because if even the Almighty has to believe it, who am I to doubt? I get help with this from the municipality of Amsterdam. In 2017, the Rainbow Language Guide was published as a reminder for the capital's officials to treat the city's residents inclusively and correctly. So I thought: since the clergy who are charged with the gender-neutral monk's work of turning Him into a Hen are nothing more than God's officials on earth, the Rainbow Language Guide can be a tool for them too. become a language bible. Not just for the Anglican Church, no, for all denominations! A gender-neutral God is addressed as That, Them or Their. An alternative to Father is Parent and instead of addressing Them as Lord, Them is now Dear Resident. The most famous prayer in the Christian tradition, Our Father, then becomes Our Parent and we could start it as follows: 'Dear Dweller who art in Heaven. Your name will be kept secret lie. Your kingdom come... What helps is that God is neither male nor female in Himself. In Dear Dweller who art in the Heavens However, in Old Testament times the creature still had to have a name. and as male-female relations then dictated, it became a He. Obtaining such a top position was impossible for women. At that time they called it the clay ceiling. Dear God, what a lame joke... For centuries, man has lacked gender-neutral religion. but that inability may soon be overcome if the monks make a little effort. 'Hail Mary, full of grace, the Dear Resident is with You. You are the blessed among men with a womb... Et cetera. Where the Anglican Church predominates takes the lead, we are still a little behind. Although there was controversy last year about the new Bible translation, that was limited to the capital letter He. Feminist theologians argued, in vain, that the supreme being should be addressed with a lowercase letter he to de-emphasize his masculinity. It was a Biblical storm in a teacup. More worrying was the kneejerk towards the reader who, at least according to the translators, would no longer know a beautiful word like 'alms'. That became a 'gift of mercy. In a subsequent translation the gift of mercy will probably become a 'tick. The ark becomes a boat. Paradise's backyard. It won't be long before Jesus received a bossie on his fisi from Judas during the Last Supper, when he was chatting with his friends. That is the Dutch culture of sixes. That is the real bone of contention." #BeliefTheismChristianityDenomAnglicanism #PhenomnGenderNeutralNeutrality

Addendum this image appears to be a repurposed version of this: ^[jpg]. Whereas the original is presumably intended as a criticism of #BeliefTheismChristianity (with overzealously religious parents seeking to indoctrinate their children through limiting their worldview to that presented in the #BeliefTheismChristianityBible) the repurposed version does something similar - through redacting the #BeliefTheismChristianityCross, which had been inscribed on the cover of each of the original books - the meaning shifts from a direct criticism of Christianity to a more general criticism of supposed 'indoctrination' - in this case, a parents' efforts to indoctrinate their children into a (presumably) 'woke worldview'. In doing so, the tweet seeks to #TheoryReification.ify anxiety about contemporary social change, imagining it as a distinct #EpistemologyBeliefSystem ^[Wikipedia] able to be systematically taught as some sort of #BeliefTheismChristianityDoctrine

Supplementary #NewspaperUSOnlineInsideHigherEdRobertWeisbuch "As a leading example, if extremist Muslims now selectively and reductively read the Koran to justify massacres, sexism, intolerance and slavery, our own extremist Christians now selectively and reductively scan the Hebrew and Christian Bibles in just the same way to promulgate just the same rationalizations of evil. Holy books present a full spectrum of attitudes, and international and national conflict today is fueled by choosing the most illiberal passages as the sole word of Allah/God. Millions of people now follow tyrants, justified, they believe, by their 'anger' -- the new euphemism for irrational hatred. What's threatened by the new savagery is not just the college campus but also the Enlightenment in its most capacious sense: the values of skepticism, empiricism, scientific and philosophic rigor, and the tolerance that affords individual liberties. Even objections to Enlightenment values -- that they ignore the irrational or mask self-interest -- can be considered only in a setting established by those values. Such values -- the ones that our national founders signed onto in the Declaration of Independence and that undergird higher education as a guarantor of the republic and of human dignity -- are under a special intensity of attack while we academics seem preoccupied with the little stuff. The biggest and worst surprise of my life has been this worldwide regression to bigoted ignorance and the gullibility or desperation that has enabled that ignorance such noxious success. Perhaps it was my own gullibility that had led me to assume the forward march of humanity toward a sunny spirit guided by reason. But all over the world they are turning out the lights." https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2016/05/05/values-liberal-arts-and-enlightenment-are-under-attack-essay #BeliefTheismIslamismQuran #BeliefTheismChristianityBible #IdentityJewishHebrew #BeliefTheismDeityGodAllahYHWHJesusChristMessiah

Supplementary this perspective is discussed by #IRLScholarFrancescaTripodi in terms of the practice of #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteScripturalInference: "I argue that practices learned in Bible study are applied to media interpretation. The conservatives I observed all hold the belief that certain fundamental truths exist, and they critically interrogate media messages in the same way they approach the Bible, focusing on specific passages and comparing what they read, see, and hear to their lived experiences. I term this media interrogation process scriptural inference, whereby audiences apply the technique of closely reading 'the Word' to other documents. I argue that these practices are a style of media literacy, whereby those who believe in the truth of the Bible approach secular political documents (e.g., a transcript of the president's speech or a copy of the Constitution) with the same interpretative scrutiny. Through this practice of unpacking texts, inconsistencies between an interpretation of original documents and the stories produced by MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post are easy to find. Such findings further support their widely shared belief that mainstream media cannot be trusted" (p.6). #PhenomnAlgorithm #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBias #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteGooglingStuffAsResearch #BeliefTheismChristianityBible #NarrativeTruthImmutableUniversalIncontrovertibleAbsolute #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleScripture #TheoryConstitutionalLawOriginalism #NMUSMSNBC #NMUSCNN #NMUSFOXFNC #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWallStreetJournal #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimes #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPost #WebsitePragerU #IRLCommentatorDaveRubin #BrandTheDailyWire
