    I didn’t say it was god. These are alleged historical events. You don’t get to just say it didn’t happen.

    Slavery was real, and the Old Testament has explicit rules about it. And Jesus never had a single thing to say about it (besides the thing about fulfilling the old law. Which, again, explicitly includes slavery).

    This has NOTHING to do with fundamentalism. You don’t get to hand wave this shit away, it’s at the very core of the religion you claim to believe.




  • How convenient for you that you get to pick and choose which parts you like.

    Even though your own lord and savior said that he didn’t come to abolish the old law but to fulfill it, and that not a single bit of that old law will change until the end of the earth (paraphrasing Matthew 5:17).

    You don’t get to pick and choose what that “old law” was, it’s literally the entire first part of your holy book. And it explicitly condones slavery (among a litany of other heinous shit).










  • If they were adults, violence definitely would have been accepted as it’s part of the game.

    Not a sucker punch in the face at faceoff, but an actual fight after the play starts. It’s literally part of the sport.

    In the context of hockey, escalation to violence is not only acceptable, it’s an integral aspect of the sport.

    Are you… Not familiar with hockey? It’s a very physical sport where fighting is often allowed by referees. Even at levels where they don’t tolerate fighting, it’s still very very physical.

    It’s a violent team sport. To the point where teams have “enforcers” who are specifically used to retaliate against the other team when they do something fucked.

    Nobody has ever drawn a gun on the ice, that I’m aware of. Usually a fight is enough to get it out of their system. There’s no reason to believe this would ever escalate to gun violence, it’s just an accepted (and possibly integral) aspect of the sport.


  • People are acting like this doesn’t happen in pro hockey sometimes too.

    I haven’t actually watched it in many years but I used to be a big fan, and every now and then someone would do or say something so egregious, that they’d get sucker punched (or something worse like slashed in the face with a hockey stick). And the person who did it would usually get kicked out of the game for it. But his teammates and the fans that knew what was up would support them as they skated off.

    I think a pro hockey player would get kicked out of a game for sucker punching a player at face off.

    They can fight, but there’s a sort of “gentlemen’s agreement” that is usually consensual and happens after face off. Referees will often even give them space to duke it out.

    Unless someone on the other team did something really fucked up, then all bets are off (and you take the suspension for sucker punching them lol).

    “Incest” in this case refers to sexual relationships between close friends in a group.

    The word “incestuous” is often used to describe when people in friend groups end up sleeping with (or even just dating, I guess) each other within the group which will almost always lead to complications.
