Feels like the average r/atheism circlejerk.

Yeah, and this verse is being taken out of context in this thread, which is really hilarious, considering the comments of "lol she doesn't know the bible".

Then that's completely my mistake. Did not know it would be difficult to see given that I said her ignorance was combated with his sexism, but now I can see why.



I know, but it didn't help his argument very much.

"So be quiet." So damn sexist.

Sexism not found. Good day sir (or madam)

You're just making yourself look silly now.

I came across this and whether they author of that blog post agrees with the intent or not, it is something that is still enforced with varying degrees in some churches still.

Also, whoever said that about r/atheism. I am no atheist. Never been over there.

 

[Fallout-NL]

I'm not even sure wtf she is saying in those last 2 sentences.

I was under the impression that verse does prohibit teaching by women in the Church, hence part of the reason why there is opposition to female bishops.

This verse has prohibited teaching by women in many churches.

Edit: A blog post on christianfeminism hasn't had much impact on that belief. Yes it is an alternate interpretation. That is about it.

Pretty sure stuff like that has been twisted to burn women at the stake too if they preached any gospels. Not their place.

Haha yea, it's ironic that they didn't know this was referring to the rules of preaching in the church. You know, that extremely sexist rule that a number of christian based faiths have basically concluded is bullshit.

And "Vicki" wasn't preaching. Nosiree.

 

[Wind's Howling]

The best moments on GAF are when someone says something stupid, and then a guy like you posts something that completely makes the topic pointless because it just can not get any better.

I would like to point another major flaw in the original posters' argument -
While it's true that leviticus prohibit buttsex and it's true that it uses word that is usually translated to abomination, it's hardly the strongest words used in the bible.
In fact, pork is also called an abomination in leviticus.

For comparison, nothing in the ten commandments is an abomination (not even murder).

He'd have said no driving too if the Model T came out in 187BC

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Has anyone on GAF ever admitted they were wrong or do they just keep changing it around.

"oh this is what I really meant"

 

[Hex]

Combating ignorance with sexism.

Aaaaaand this is why we can not have nice things.

It's pathetic that verse even exists.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Facebook. Newspaper comment sections. Youtube. So many opportunities to read what I would never bother to listen to.

This shit right here.

 

[Karak]

nothing in the ten commandments is an abomination (not even murder).

YES! BRB.

 

[Skeyser]

stop digging your grave Rocmisok

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I fully understood that; doesn't make it right though.

You do know that just because you quote something, does not make you that thing, right?

 

[DR2K]

You are under the impression I am not aware that he was pointing out her hypocrisy. I am saying the last part, the 'so be quiet' was unnecessary.

If you shovel in the other direction you still dig a deeper hole.

 

[Wind's Howling]

This thread is already delivering.

*popcorn gif*

Dig up, stupid.

 

[Chichikov]

YES! BRB.

I got some bad news for you, murder is one of 3 sins (the other two being idolatry and incest) that you must sacrifice your life rather than commit.
But if someone put a gun to your head and demand you eat pork/fuck a dude - you're in the clear.

Really, while abomination is technically decent translation of the hebrew word, it misses a lot of its nuance.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What's that line about hating Shellfish?

I'm too lazy to find the house Bible right now.

Antyhow, long story short, if I quote it, does that mean I love to kill people for liking Shellfish?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

"So be quiet." So damn sexist.

lol. I wonder if the genders were reversed, would people be calling the women sexist.

 

[Alrus]

There was another one with a girl saying homosexuality is a sin and some other girl telling her something akin to "premarital sex is also a sin yet you slept with all the football team" or something, it was pretty good.

 

[Deified Data]

I fully understood that; doesn't make it right though.

It does, though. As previous posters said, it's highlighting hypocrisy.

Sigh...Ya I know. It was just a joke.

K that made me chuckle.

It's the interpretation that is taught in my church, I'm not sure what the split would be on churches in America and their stances on this verse though.

 

[feel]

Damn! So good.

Would have slightly prefered "So be quiet?" at the end though.

 

[BigAT]

More like Ethan Awesome.

Do the back-peddle!

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I said goddamn

 

[Count Dookkake]

Yes, exactly. Combating the Bible with the Bible.

Was just about to say this.

 

[Mudkips]

That Timothy is a sexist, rest of the book is good though.

It's Paul writing to Timothy.

 

[waypoetic]

That reply. So meta.

Because making even less sense is surely going to help your case.

 

[Raptomex]

Lol that's awesome. Another reason never to express yourself on the internet.

 

[Pein]

I thought this one was pretty good.

Hilarious!

Her response is perfect.

So gooooooood. I can taste the salt from here.

Wow

Holy shit.

 

[blackflag]

Combating ignorance with sexism.

Ummmm ok. The point was too complex for you I suppose.

 

[slit]

Oh man I want that entire exchange to be true.

I WANT THEM TO HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER IN HIGH SCHOOL!
