Culture Differences

In Brazil, it's considered really weird to refer to people by their last name other than in extremely formal circumstances.

Students refer to their teachers by their first name or as "teacher" (sometimes very little kids may also call their teacher Aunty or Uncle).

When talking to an elderly person you often add the honorific Dona (f) or Senhor* (m) ahead of their name, but you still call them by their first name (e.g Dona Otilia and Senhor Daniel were my school principals when I was little. To this day I have no idea what their surname was).

* In colloquial language, Senhor often gets shortened to Sô.

I love how Christians talk about early Christians like they were a monolith

Here's just a handful of early Christian denomination beliefs:

Adamites: Would hold services naked and were not monogamous.

Arianites: Believed that Jesus & God were two separate people, that Jesus was the son of God, and that Jesus didn't always exist.

Bardaisanites: Thought the sun, moon, and planets were living beings, to whom, under God, the government of this world was largely entrusted; and though Man was free, he was strongly influenced for good or for evil by the constellations.

Carpocratians: They believed in reincarnation and were encouraged to experience everything there is in life (sinful and moral alike) so that they wouldn't have to reincarnate to experience what they had missed out on. They believed that going against Jewish biblical law was a serious responsibility because said laws came from evil angels who created the world. They also were of the belief that Jesus wasn't a deity, but rather an enlightened role model people should strive to be like (kinda like the Buddha). (According to Irenaeus of Lyons)

Colarbasians: Believed the whole of truth and religion to be contained in the Greek alphabet; and that it was for this reason that Jesus was called the Alpha and Omega.

Marcionites: Believed the god Yahweh (the Jewish, Christian, & now Muslim god) was an evil, tyrannical deity, & that the god featured in the Hebrew Scriptures was not the Father of Jesus Christ. They forbade marriage and urged celibacy, since bringing more children into the world meant bringing more people into captivity to the evil Yahweh.

Montanists: Allowed women prominent positions in the sect, such as bishops, presbyters, and deacons.

Simonians: Believed that the Holy Spirit was feminine and reincarnated as different women, most notably Helen of Troy.

Valentinianists: Considered the god of the Old Testament as the imperfect creator of the material world. One needed to recognize the Father, the depth of all being, as the true source of divine power in order to achieve gnosis (knowledge). Gnosis, not faith, was the key to salvation.

Random Fact #6,542

A century before Rosa Parks, there was Elizabeth Jennings

In 1854, she refused to get off of a streetcar that only allowed white passengers.

She was arrested. She sued (and won), and her case led to the eventual desegregation of NYC's public transit.

The racist bigoted way the first-world press talks about American school shootings

They often say that "the US has more school shootings than any first-world country" implying that third-world countries are rife with school shootings.

The US has more school shootings than ANY country.

Between January 2009 to May 2018 you know what the highest number of school shootings in a third-world country (Mexico) was?

8.

You know what the US number of school shootings in the same timeframe was?

288.

The 19 countries with the highest number of school shootings are almost evenly split between first-world countries and third-world countries, with the first-world countries actually being the higher number.

(Brazil had 2 school shootings, btw; same as Canada and France)
