She didn't refuse the Holy Rod, of course. Who would? What would she say? "I'm sorry, vast unblinking eye that watches and judges my every move, but I refuse your advances?" No! She had no choice in the matter! Any modern court would have seen the gross imbalance of power and declared YHWH guilty of rape!

Like the nephilim before, Jesus is the halfbreed spawn of celestial rape! When will the abominations perpetrated on Mankind end?

Christ, the Lamb, took on the sins of Mankind, correct? His body is burdened with abominations untold! When you eat of his flesh, drink of his blood, where does that sin go? Corruption does not beget uncorruption!

How does salvation come from eating the sin-eater? You have been deceived! Christ is not the redeemer, but the plaguebearer, spreading pestilence with every fetid exhalation!

There's a word, I can't remember what it is but I know it starts with a B, pretty sure it's Italian. It describes the long and detailed extolling of a woman's beauty, like you'd see in a sonnet, all "Your hair is blah blah, your eyes blah blah."

Anybody know what it is? I need it for a paper and I can't find it on google.

I'm having an ICP How Do Magnets Work moment. The answer to this question is probably obvious but I dunno.

When you're in a hallway with a tile floor and ceiling lights, you can see the reflections of the lights on the ground. When you move, they move. Presumably everyone else sees the reflections at a different point on the floor. What's up with that? Like I said, this seems like something that should be really obvious, but I'm not in the right mindset to think it through.

So: What exactly is going on that the reflections appear at a different place on the floor for different people? Is it just that the light is going everywhere and only the light that reflects at us is visible?

I've recently begun studying Secondary School English/Language Arts Education. It's a bit of a buyer's market, and improving my marketability is a big deal. I've noticed that when I get into the actual English education courses, nearly all of my classmates are female. Is this anything like nursing where being a male in a field where everyone is female will increase my marketability?

Preferably looking for answers from people who know the field.

Let's say high fives are a moral good. God says "High fives are Good"

Does God say "High fives are Good" to recognize their intrinsic Goodness, or are high fives good because God says "High fives are Good?"

You may have noticed a sophist chud running around under various pseudonyms (Primarily Richard, Timothy, and Patrick) dropping links to his horrible site and then deleting them as soon as people start telling him why he's wrong.

This is unacceptable in what's meant to be an open forum for discussion. It's time to kick this guy's ***.

I say we go to his site, and we tell him why he's wrong in a place where he can't just run away. If he won't discuss things like a man, we're gonna have to hold him down and discourse him with a sock full of rhetorical oranges. Who's with me?

Reasking for better clarity.

If God wills Goodness because it's Good, doesn't that make God subject to a higher moral authority?

If Goodness is Good because God wills it, doesn't that mean there's no objective morality, because Goodness is arbitrary and contingent on God's will?

A few questions for us who use R/S

1. What is your religious inclination?

2. Are your questions...

-- a. Legitimate questions about religion and spirituality. (e.g. How did Zoroastrianism influence Judaism and Christianity?)

-- b. Troll/nonsensical questions. (e.g. Was the last supper a gay jesus orgy?)

-- c. Rhetorical questions meant to attack opposing viewpoints and see people who agree with you (e.g. "Was God a psychopath?" followed by a screed making it clear you already know he is)

3. Are your answers...

-- a. Legitimate attempts to answer the question using your knowledge on the subject (e.g. Zoroastrianism introduced the Good vs. Evil narrative and reward/punishment in an afterlife)

-- b. Giving a non-answer that boldly announces your viewpoint (e.g. Don't worry about what God thinks, he isn't real)

-- c. Troll/bullshit answer (e.g. You have to Jesus Jesus the Jesus)

4. Are your upvotes and downvotes...

-- a. Intended to reward good answers and punish bad answers

-- b. Intended to reward answers coming from similar viewpoints to yours, and punish answers from viewpoints that disagree with you

I've started to notice that R/S, despite ostensibly being for asking and answering religious/spiritual questions, is mostly a turf war between atheists and Christians. Also, my examples weren't mostly atheists because I'm biased, but because most of the theist posts on here are either obvious trolls or so insane they're indistinguishable from trolls.

So what are you? A troll, an asker/answerer, or a soldier in an imaginary internet war?

I have a dog. Secondhand, a mix, so I can't really give anything about breed or previous teaching (She looks like she has phalene and maybe beagle in her, small dog).

She gets really aggressive at any hint of violence, angry barking, flagging her tail, all of that. If I playfully punch a friend or family member she gets mad. If I playfully punch or slap myself she gets mad. Anything like that makes her mad.

I don't think she's had any real obedience training, she's responsive but doesn't know any commands. Aside from barking at strangers this is the only way she really acts out. She's never bitten someone that I know of.

Does anybody have any idea why she might be doing this? I read elsewhere that she might be doing it for attention, but it's not playful barking or barking for attention. The tone and body language is aggressive and angry.
