Considering how malign conditions are in an Amazon warehouse, I don’t think Haiti will be too eager to have that for a way to allay poverty. You know work isn’t its own purpose, right?

I definitely get the feeling that with them Jesus is nothing more than the savior and determiner of the elect—that he didn’t teach about ethics in any way. (Yet you’d think they’d hear about his parables…) Like some sort of (male) arch-valkyrie, except he’s not a psychopomp.

Didn’t know Pythagoras worked that closely with theology.

I’m curious what material with the foldability of paper, papyrus, or even sufficiently flattened metal is likely to stay intact—no disintegration or discoloration of any sort—for a full million years, though.

Love isn’t a panacea, last I heard.

Come to think of it, at least with the classical humours theory, I’m guessing love would have adhered to just one of the four—I’m guessing phlegm. What mental aspects/attitudes as crucial as love attached to the other three?

Even if I have a hard time believing xanthecholia is good for anything.

(And note that love is an attitude. Not a substance.)

I see someone’s never heard of converts to Judaism. Or maybe the aide failed to notice that Ruth was a Moabite, not a Hebrew…

Regarding this sort of mentality towards women, I suspect he has a greater problem of unwillingness to do much of anything without certainty of substantive reward. And yet I don’t doubt he sees plenty of people doing just that, without any evidence of deceit, and still thriving. Why do you suppose he’s unwilling to hearken to the wisdom of them and their deeds? (Assume here that he is not afflicted with ASPD. At least not congenitally.)

…You are aware that Adam and Eve started mortal, right? They hadn’t partaken of the Tree of Life yet, nor had anything else.

Paul wasn’t a prophet, anyway, and hopefully would be aghast at being seen as such. Indeed, one of his letters apparently suggests that he was perfectly aware that his fit at the Damascus road may not have had any supernal qualities, which may mean he had an alternate explanation for himself that the fit was his mind saying in no uncertain terns that he could no longer lie to himself about the right/wrong of persecuting Christians.

"Patricia" #fundie #wingnut #conspiracy

However rightward she might have been at first, Patricia probably did have a malady playing games with her reasoning, so I’m not inclined to be harsh on her just for this.

The cult that entranced her, on the other hand…

There’s a good bit of Paradise Lost referencing in the story. Even Frankenstein’s given name, as “the Victor” was an epithet Milton often gave to God in the poem.

An important part of how Frankenstein was characterized, by the way, was that while Shelley was going through and recovering from a stillbirth, her husband was busy gallivanting across Europe with Byron (i.e. not taking his potential fatherhood seriously). Fortunately, he got the hint.

Those last two sentences worry me. Does she mean that Nature fiddled with complex life overmuch, or that complex life itself (multicellular life? Life besides bacteria and archae, meaning even protists end up malign?) is somehow Bad and Atrocious? (In which case she gets to explain how Nature is supposed to perceive and comprehend itself.) Check to see if she makes an exception for “male = insane” with Arthur Schopenhauer and/or Philipp Mainländer. (And this is one case where siding with Mainländer is less horrific than siding with Schopenhauer, considering what the latter did to his landlady.)

Never mind that Frankenstein’s own atrocity wasn’t creating the homunculus Adam (Adam was how Shelley referred to the Creature in letters to her friends) by itself, but (a) doing it to show himself his erstwhile mentors’ superior, and far more damningly (b) abandoning Adam when he proved to be less than perfect. Some father Frankenstein was.

I have a feeling the font of the problem can be phrased as something akin to “I’m looking out through these eyes, so I’m clearly the most beloved of God and Reality throughout all of space-time. The universe is ontologically incapable of disrespecting me in any way, otherwise I’d be in the body of the actual most beloved.”.

Um, once you realize the euphemisms involved, it becomes clear that Ruth and Boaz were bedding each other before marrying. No sign of El being wroth or otherwise upset (well, maybe rolling his eyes at the impatience, but he probably felt he had a swarm of greater concerns than pre-marital monogamous sex).

So, less fussing about Lust, more fussing about Pride and Avarice, hm?

Giant squid hideous? Even by human lights, that’s difficult to believe.

Besides, if they went any higher, the sperm whales would have much less difficulty hunting them. It’s safer down there.

Finally, don’t call tube worms (also abyssal) monstrous. Not unless you want Death to mistake you for an Auditor.

@Malingspann #106361

I have a feeling that’s how it works actually. This probably isn’t virtue-honor, but prestige-honor. (Putting aside that the term seems to be a European invention…) It also shares of the same sentiment as Heinlein’s “An armed society is a polite society”—that respect incorporates dread, or at least awe. And awe somehow needs authoritarianism. So if your authoritarianism didn’t take everywhere in range, you don’t deserve awe/respect—only scorn so the “truly” deserving don’t lose their “fair” share of awe.

(This, of course, is armchair psychology/sociology, so I demand correction and/or corroboration.)

I wait to see if the father had any voice in this.

I’ll admit my other comparative is plated mail. Longswords aren’t much to worry about, but rapiers and estocs are, as long as they aim for the unarmorable joints.

Unless they really are classifying each and every facet as both exa-strong and exa-weak, which calls into question how fascism understands the weak/strong axis…and if they see them as antonyms in the first place.

Paul White Gold Eagle #crackpot #ufo #magick #conspiracy

Look, Gaia only represented the bedrock. Not plants; that was variously Demeter, Persephone, and Pan, I believe. She wasn’t a particularly nice protogenos, either; she ordered Zeus to instigate the Trojan War because she was annoyed at the amount of life treading on her, and wanted the pressure relieved via mass death. Biophile she was not.

So why are you appealing to her, and not Demeter?!

Marjorie Cole #fundie #magick #quack #conspiracy

I just realized that she seems to think souls are made of DNA.

It certainly gives a new spin to the idea that everyone’s sinful and worthy only of perdition. Only Jesus’s genotype was acceptable, so to God any other genotype is less than absolutely human (i.e. less than Jesus), and therefore…You can even throw in Hyles and Stewart’s insistence that Jesus’s shed blood masking our sins plays a role, making it look like we have Jesus’s genotype…

And I’m wondering what their grudge against “whites” is supposed to be. Revenge on Genseric and Alaric’s attacks on Rome, I suppose?

Never mind that I don’t know what this lot thinks is so monstrous about melanin.

Good luck convincing them they’re even remotely capricious, rather than rationality elementals.

And I wish they’d use “uncertain about gender” rather than “confused about gender”. The former is probably closer to what the Q in the acronym signifies.

Marjorie Taylor Greene #wingnut #dunning-kruger

I think her claim is more that since the two-year COVID-19 death toll is the same as the one-year cancer death toll, it’s still Not a Big Deal, economically speaking. Failing to consider (a) it would have been greater without our failsafes, and (b) this is callousness incarnate—far worse than an economic wane.

Of course, the MAGA retinue likely think this sort of callousness is an absolute necessity to survive in any situation…

I have a hunch that entities that are somehow soulless are undergoing punishment for past life/iteration sins/crimes, and the “evil” is trying to be ensouled anew before the punishment is supposed to end. Not woe evil, but illegality evil.

The best encapsulation I can think of is a belief that importance/worth can never be acquired by the self, only instilled while the self is formed. The obvious problem is that they can’t imagine this needing revision even for a world without any overarching divinity.

Laura Wood #conspiracy

I’m afraid to ask how she defines “convincing carnage” outside the not-dark-enough blood (and that could be a matter of whether an artery or a vein is broken).

Also, I doubt everyone evinces shock in the same fashion. It’s not as though it’s neurologically impossible to sublimate shock, probably especially when one feels they can prevent a repeat occurrence. (More-than-armchair neurologists and psychologists please correct as needed.)

Finally, since when are Freemasons malign? Especially given George Washington being a Mason; please provide examples of his own malign qualities besides racism and slaveholding, seeing how those definitely weren’t endemic to Masons.

Wanted to torment women before, wants to torment Jews now…How about renouncing torment outright?

I swear that crucial to this level of rightward thought is an idea of Conservation of Pain—Pain cannot be dispelled, only translated onto someone else.

What is it with you and rape? Even a fantasy of it is worrisome, considering the at-least-callousness it betrays. I was under the impression that no one actively wants to be callous, at least.

Um, what do they think was predating the vaccine? I hope they’re not downplaying the Black Death, at least, since that one was bacterial. Certainly a great way to dodge blame for HIV proliferation, I suppose.
