#1.3: Everyone Has a Problem With GOD's Account

Let me give you a 3rd reason against doubting GOD you might say doubt number three is really a kind of cumulative doubt.

There's actually about 3K doubts in this one doubt.

So it's very efficient a use of our time & it goes like this, “I cannot believe Christianity, or in the Bible because in the Bible:

   •  There's this statement or this teaching.    •  There's this incident    •  There's this passage

………………………………………………………………… Now the reason I said there's 3K doubts in this doubt is because everybody's got problems with different parts of the Bible. …………………………………………………………………

You know just fill in the blank:

      I cannot believe in a Bible or you know a       certain passage in Scripture that teaches       blank or X or Y or Z—it's regressive, or it's       offensive! It's terrible!

      I just can't believe it, but let's talk about that       for a minute—where's the leap of faith here?

When you say I can't believe the Bible because this part of it is just very very bad, well where's the leap of faith? [12:57] https://youtu.be/AXkrw1VpwRI?t=777

I'll tell you where:

      You are at that point showing enormous       faith in your cultural moment. Now let       me break that down, “culture moment”

3.1] Cultural Lense Biases Us Against the Bible

In our culture, Boston Harvard, we read the Bible & we get to the place where it says no vengeance 70x7, you must forgive no matter what people do to you. You must forgive!

No one must take vengeance & we say, “Go on!”

All right that's good, then you get to the place says

      No sex outside marriage; sex is only for       a covenant relationship & is only for you       know a lifetime committed relationship

      No sex outside of marriage & we go:       “That's regressive, that's primitive!”

Fine okay, let's take the Bible over to some other culture—let's take it to a traditional culture, there is quite a lot of traditional cultures in the world.

In Asia & Latin America,& Africa—let's take it to a traditional culture & they sit down & start reading & they get to where it says no sex outside marriage

      I say good, that's right. Family values that       is good, I haven't remembered that I read       the Bible before. But this we like this part

      & then you get to the thing no vengeance       no matter what they do to you, or to your       family. No vengeance.

…………………………………………………………………       That's nuts! OK now see here's the thing       you are very bent out of shape because       from your cultural position—this part of       the Bible is absolutely unacceptable. …………………………………………………………………

So why should your culture sensibility trump their culture sensibility? They think that's a great idea.

      I have no sex outside marriage are you       real? Do you really want to say that my       culture's superior to all other cultures?

Therefore my cultural sensibilities & the things that offend my cultural sensibilities are real problems..

That's the real problems we have with the Bible.

3.2] Selah: Total Recall Humiliation

Let's think about that for a moment.

Some of you are pretty young, so your grandparents are pretty young. In fact some of you look like your grandparents might be my age, maybe not quite.

But most of you are going to find that you're going to love what your grandparents loved, and about a 3rd of the things that they believe — you are going to be utterly embarrassed.

I mean didn't Obama even say that the other day?

Right in other words, you look back two or three generations to your grandparents, or even your great-grandparents — & you see the things that they believe & you are just embarrassed by the things that they have said & believed right? OK

You do realize don't you?

      That about 1/3 to a 50% of the things that       you believe right now & all of your friends       believe [will sound moronic in a decade]

      & here you are in the middle of Harvard       your grandchildren/great grandchildren       will be utterly embarrassed about half       the stuff that right now you are sure of

Has that thought never occurred to you & don't you think you ought to be sort of looking your stuff over a little bit to see:

      I wonder which of these things might be       the things that I'm going to embarrass my       grandchildren over?

      No you're not probably thinking very far       ahead are you? But you know what I am       trying to say?

If you say I'm not going anywhere near the Bible or Christianity as this offends my cultural sensibility

      When half of your cultural sensibility is       going to be obsolete in 50 years unless       you are sure that you've finally come to       the ultimate cultural moment.

      That's not going to happen to my grand       children don't be ridiculous & so here's       the problem:

To say:

      I'm just going to get rid of that part of       the Bible, it offends me & I don't listen

      if the Bible for a moment's sake of       argument, if the Bible actually was       truth from GOD and if it really has       come down from GOD & is not the       product of one particular culture

………………………………………………………………… If it's really truth from GOD it would offend every culture at some point—and it would offend every Century at some point.

Therefore if it offends you, that's what you would expect if it was the truth & so we see what a leap of faith it is! …………………………………………………………………

A huge leap of faith to trust in your cultural moment.

Y'know, I think you and a lot of people mistake House for being homophobic, racist, sexist, and transphobic (maybe a little more credit to that one, but if the show was being made in more modern day we might see otherwise). None of them remotely realize,

He's being edgy.

He's purposefully getting a rise out of people because he likes getting people angry at him.

If you listen to what he says when he ACTUALLY means what he's saying, he's actually progressive, especially for the time. He calls the HIV guy's dad a bigot because he thought he hated his son for being gay. He told the football player "you won't need to play sports now to get a good career" when his skin started to discolor to white. He literally said "white, skinny, pretty people make all the rules in society" at one point. All of his actions prove that he believes women are just as capable as men are, if not more so in some cases, especially with Thirteen and Amber. He's FIERCLEY pro choice and doesn't even try to hide it or pretend otherwise.

And while he definitely has some pretty terrible stuff going on with intersex/trans people, the show frames him in a bad way for doing so.

House is a horrendous person in a lot of ways, but he's not ACTUALLY a bigot. He just likes to pretend to be because he hates it when people like him and tries to push them away.

When Nina looked at Kaz, she couldn't quite believe her eyes. "Saints, Kaz, you actually look happy." "Don't be ridiculous" he snapped. But there was no mistaking it. Kaz Brekker was grinning like an idiot.

#that was a culturally significant moment #it will be written in history books #kaz brekker #soc #six of crows #crooked kingdom #grishaverse #shadow and bone

Aimsey: [While watching a Hideduo compilation, and seeing Fit message Pac "It's going to be ok"] Aww... That's fcked! Wait, what is it? "Sau–" wait, hold on. How do you say that? "Saudades?"

[He plays a clip of someone pronouncing Saudades and repeats the word several times to copy the pronunciation]

Aimsey: Ohhh, nostalgia! [Reading the definition] "Saudades is a word in Portuguese that claims no direct translation in English. However, a close translation in English would be "desiderium," defined as an ardent desire or longing, especially a feeling of loss or grief for something lost."

Aimsey: It's like "Hiraeth," yeah! It's like the Welsh word! Guys, I can teach you something! Wait- wait- wait– Chat I can teach you something!!! So, in Wales, in Welsh, we have a similar word! We have a similar word, ok? Um... [She plays an audio clip of someone pronouncing "Hiraeth"] Ok, ok, hold on, hold on. We have a similar word, yeah. So, in Welsh, there is the term "Hiraeth," which is a home– ok, I'm gonna explain: "Hiraeth" is a homesickness– lemme, lemme say it in chat... [They type out the word and verbally spell it out letter by letter] I'm gonna spam it.

Aimsey: SO! In Welsh, we have a very similar word, and the- like, the description for it is basically a deep longing for something, especially someone's home. And it's like a homesickness. [Pauses] And there are no direct English translation, but it basically mean like, a homesickness tinged with grief and sadness over the lost or departed. [Reading chat] Yes, you're all saying it right! Yeah, you're all saying it right! You're all saying it right!

Aimsey learns what "saudades" means, and teaches chat a similar word in Welsh. One of my favorite things about QSMP is seeing people learning about other cultures and seeing them get SO EXCITED when they get an opportunity to share their own culture or language with others :')💕

#AimseyTV #QSMP #Aimsey #December 17 2023 #this is ~ 39 minutes into the VOD #Which is on their VOD YouTube channel and is titled “I Became A QSMP Purgatory Expert! (REACTION)” #Anyways. I love seeing people getting excited about their culture and learning about other people's cultures #but also it kills me that this was prompted by a frickin hideduo compilation video LMAO #Classic QSMP moment

#art #ive literally just been treating this game as a library simuator #i walk from bookseller to bookseller opening up all of their books #vivecs sermons are either a highlight or the point at which i stop reading #ive been trying to convince the ordinators that imitation is the highest form of flattery but it hasnt been working #let me wear your helmets please theyre so funny.. #posting morrowind in 2024 isnt a cry for help but youre not wrong to be concerned. #morrowind #almalexia #vivec #im going to explain the chitin armor give me a moment #so the bonewalker nerevar on the shrines is adorable and it was only after drawing it however many times that i realized #it looked relatively close to a modified chitin armor #and so i modified chitin armor a few times and this was probably the cutest result #i also know i drew almalexia relatively pristine and untouched by years and vivec not so much but my thought process was #vivecs role as if not a favorite then the most accessible divine or the most “hands on” in a manner of speaking #acting in ways visible to the general population or actions explicitly brought to their attention #like not that almalexia isnt doing anything she is #but the dissemination of information regarding that is very different etc etc etc #anyways to a certain extent a god is the face on a shrine or in art or upon a statue or carving #but vivecs presence is interwoven with the geography of vvardenfell especially and his actions and writings with pubished materials #and the arts and culture and customs etc etc etc #so to me the face of a god you know and feel a commonality with or a god that walks alongside you is a face you would recognize #and vivec is already otherworldly looking enough #the simple mark of the years on his skin in some way grounding him in reality felt more right #that and i think the ways in which he and almalexia care about outward appearance are slightly different- they prioritize different things #and the ways they present outward power and their embodiment of their respective attributes share some similarities as they both have that #important preoccupation with physical power and physical strength to a certain degree #oh my god nobody read this i am yapping so bad. #tes

#truly i think ppl are gay steven was their big cultural moment. and yes im including the flash mob #the oa

[txttletale]

like, i think that neon white is obviously gunning for the 'embrace your inner cringe' ethos, but it doesn't work for me because my cringe middle school self wasn't drawing edgy half-demon half-vampire anime twinks with 100 belts, she was sneering at those people for not understanding that Real Art was writing a 10,000 word dictionary for your conlang for your fantasy world thats Like DND But Better (twice as many types of elves and the roman empire is there)

#tattletxt #and obviously in case the subtext is not clear enough this is not saying that one of these is better than the other yknow #just articulating why this specific homage to a specific subculutre doesn't speak to me #similar to stuff like vylet pony or the sparkledog renaissance--i think this could be a powerful reclamation of a certain moment in culture #for somebody who is v. much not me

idk how to explain Sanremo to my international mutuals. it's like if eurovision had more rizz. like if the oscars were actually fun. somehow deeply culturally catholic and incredibly gay at the same time. they have a full orchestra just there vibing

#sanremo #a collective cultural moment of quality trash.

[cryptiduni]

ok ok, listen. I am gonna be straight with you. I am not a Patholic nerd and I really like the game. it has one of the most extraordinary stories/lore, plus its gloomy aesthetic is just my shit. but as a local Khalkh Mongolian, I very much dislike the herb bride designs. they have no inspiration from the cultures they are supposed to vaguely resemble, like literally nothing. i am a visual type of person and love it, ADORE it when shit is pretty to look at, it's in my blood. instead they opted for looking like straight-up savage unevolved cartoon cavewomen with skimpy outfits and foliage in their hair for good measure.

they look so out of place here, which you could argue its intentional but cmonnn???

here’s my take on how they could have looked like or at least what kind of things the devs missed out on:

—and their hair should have been braided in many different styles? all three of the major inspirations for the kin doesn’t like loose hair, if we are speaking traditionally. i really like these thin braids:

yeah, i get Orkhon economy is in shambles so no jewelry and colorful clothes but at least cover their boobage?? idk just slap on thin deel + belt and then just rough it up? make decorations out of wood?? and beads out of bones without just dangling them?? just because shit is desperate doesn't mean we gotta lose our dignity too?

edit: This post’s main point is not about restricting the nudity or the creative liberty i am only saying they should have approached this aspect from a different perspective with a native eyes on the IPL development team. It may have came off that way because i used the word boobage huh?

#everything doesn’t have to be accurate but keep your shit AUTHENTIC #do not ‘umm actually’ me unless you are a local or studied altaic cultures #deepening my lore perspective is ok too. but do not be a snob w/ me #dancing so hard that your clothes fall off is kinda bullshit excuse but ok fine. it's an interesting idea. initially #yeah herb brides get empathtic moments but we do agree this is a fetishization of poc women to a degree right? like a sexualized caricature #one of them straight up die for a open your heart joke lol wtf #and if you are gonna sexualize something at least DO IT RIGHT #there’s much so cool shit you coulda done here but nooOO savage east-asians are apparently the hip thing to do ugh #but handling of the colonialization aspect is horrible #you google traditional clothes on our culture almost every single one of those women and they will have a hairdo and a deel+belt #p.s. we don't worship bulls #or an evil entity #our religion is tengri or buddhism. some of us are monotheist too #random trivia: the pronoun “I/me” is not written “be”. it's “BI” #random trivia: unmarried woman/girl is called a sewger #pathologic #pathologic 2 #мор утопия #мор утопия 2 #herb brides #flintstones looking ass #god i am so gay for all these women above (except the herb bride hell nah) #makes the 4 hours i spent on this so worth it #if I had a nickel every time if slav games i liked had an anti-asian undertones #I’d have two which is not a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice #mongol #tibet #buryat #mongolia #buryatia

Drawings of some Rosarios and a beloved Fatima @bunnyangelart

The bottom pic makes me the happiest! Bunnii and I had mused ideas of the four of them having known each other in school as kids, and the idea stuck enough it became canon. Also any time drawing baby Adrián before he lost is eye is like u_u ….. mm

OH before anyone asks, Mani was asked to be the school mascot. It’s not his fursuit!!!! Realistically if anyone would have a fursuit, it’d be Adrián…….And Fatima (shes a warrior cats kid)
