  • I've got it copied in a text doc, in case I need to move it elsewhere.

  • Thanks for the heads up about the post and other info!

  • We don't really have evidence of Jesus' historicity. I mean absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence but, all in all, there's pretty much zero direct evidence of his existence. Almost nothing that would point to historicity in the gospels is corroborated by archeology... like was Pilot a person who existed? Yes, very likely he was. Is there biographies of him? Yes, there are contemporaneous sources showing him to be real. Is there anything, outside of the gospels, recount him meeting Jesus in any capacity let alone a whole trial and execution? No, there's nothing like that. The whole scenario of Jesus' life as chronicled by the gospels doesn't hold up to scrutiny... sure, some of the people and many of the places do exist, but just because New York exists it doesn't mean Spiderman is real.

    As for the early church, even Paul doesn't claim to have known a historic Jesus but rather only recounts experiences of visions of Jesus and angels.

  • AdamEatsAss is a man of the people. He's got his finger on the pulse of popular opinion.

  • Latin speakers.

  • Oh my goodness... you're telling me an outspoken Trump supporter has been accused of grifting? Well, I for one am shocked, shocked I tell you! (obvious /s)

  • Oh my goodness, someone pointed this out on Tumblr years ago, but it desperately needs repeating:

    Dear English Language Fanfic Writers,

    • Wanton: an unrestrained desire, usually of a sexual nature.
    • Wonton: a type of dumpling found in Chinese and East Asian cuisine.
  • It's their least favorite game right behind Q&A at the SEC.

  • Thank you!

  • VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO, because they're all hilarious, woahfully ineffective at combatting conservatives and the far right, but hilarious.

  • If it's retroactive, then we haven't had a single male president.

  • Bird flu really feels like a thing we all need to be watching right now... just saying.

  • The only recorded instance of which I can think of someone who was even slightly pro-fascism taking out a fascist is literally Hitler... he killed himself, but only because the Red Army was already inside Berlin and looking for him.

  • Give Fedilab a try. I've been using it for about a year now; it's been pretty smooth and straight forward.

  • You can follow Lemmy threads and users on Mastodon right now, but it's super clunky just from the fact both platforms are so different from each other. Here's this thread, as seen from my Mastodon account on the Tusky app.

  • I've never used the official app for PixelFed, I'm just on Fedilab for both it and Mastodon... is the PixelFed app worth a look?

  • He reined over a period of drought, but there's no way he could have controlled the weather. That's like blaming the government for there being car accidents. Simba exploited the working and noble classes into thinking that Scar was to blame for natural cycles. Thus he was able to lead a rebellion against their best interests and restored his line to the monarchy. Upper nobles playing everyone else against each other but, at the end of the day, the monarchical status quo was maintained. Feudalism in action.

  • I'm on the app and, honestly, I have been seeing the exact opposite. Loads of American users are seeing, for the first time, that folks in the PRC don't have it so bad.
