I see plenty of this sort of nonsense with those claiming that Christians should be onboard with whatever progressive-globohomo agenda item they want to force on everyone, often with torturing the interpretation of the Bible. But this is an example of straight up making up context that was never there, which is far worse as it is easy to demonstrate how it is an obvious lie.

Saw the same thing in a pro-gay presentation claiming Jesus "affirmed a gay couple." Wrong!

Regardless of whether or not you are a Christian, you should at least understand my contention with his absolutely bogus statements about what happened in the Bible. This is supposed to support his premise that abortion is okay with God. Yes, the same God that tells his people not to commit murder is fine with abortion because liars like this want you to conform to the world rather than conform to God's teachings. Oh yeah, there is something in the Bible about that too: Romans 12:2

Sometimes the internet takes me down quite the rabbit holes. I found this particular video (not exactly current but who cares):

https://youtu.be/Oz378QPGLfc?t=101

At the timestamp, this "scholar" claims that the angel "asks" Mary if she would want to bear the Son of God, and it only happens because Mary says yes.

Read me Luke 1:26-38 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1:26-38&version=NIV) and tell me if this looks like the angel "asked" Mary. No, he told her it would happen.

So clearly this man is full of shit

@deprecated_ii How is a man to know if a woman is interested if he does not initiate? Women expect men to initiate, so these men are doing that. Men who don't are very unlikely to ever just magically find a relationship.

And most men do not just want friendship with a woman. So no shit they are going to see if there is potential for a girlfriend. This woman is just mad that non-Chads would dare look for a relationship because it is inconvenient for her.

@basedbagel Can you do the same against a fly? That's the next level.

@dave As long as people will vote for someone that makes them feel warm and fuzzy inside, we are going to be vulnerable to more and more tyranny.

This is not exclusive to just one group, as many people will defend the worst actions of someone as long as it is "their guy."

And so many people are simply ignorant of the fact that Obama has some skeletons in his closet, just because the TV told him that he was just sunshine and rainbows.

@WashedOutGundamPilot When you are filming in a public location, you cannot have any expectations that other people are not going to want to just live their lives normally.

How often has this woman been told "No?" Not often enough, it seems.

Even I might not like life becoming more difficult, and I might even be among those who would get upset. But I may need to learn to deal with that. It matters not if I like it or not, but rather what will I do if I face a more difficult life. The only choice I have is to deal with the difficulty as best as I can.

I like to think I am adaptable, but a collapse of any severity will put that theory to the test.

That is indeed a worst case scenario, but even considering the downgrade in the standards of living will be something most people will not be able to swallow. All necessities being extremely expensive means less disposable income for things that people most certainly do not need. We are too used to comforts, and taking away those comforts will drive some to think it is the end of the world even if it is not.

If the US does full on collapse, I think it will shock most people living in the US. Yes, we have many bad signs deterioration, but most people still are living fairly comfortably in spite of the issues with inflation.

Food not being on grocery store shelves, electricity turned off, and gas not being at the pump are things most people are not going to be able to contemplate. For most people, that will mean death.

@VooDooMedic Good for you. Always good to see someone making progress towards bettering their own health. Though I don't know if it is actually possible to cut that much weight in such a short time frame. So please be careful.

@furgar This plan, if true, would not work as well as designed. There are plenty on the left who still live in red states, and they would be the ones more likely to get the vaxx. So it would more likely make red states redder rather than have the intended affect of taking out the right wingers.

@KG_Analytical_Dynamics_LLC >an unfertilized chicken egg is the same thing as a human embryo that was the result of fertilization

If you are going to try and appeal to "the science," at least have actual knowledge of it.

@dander Yeah, let's just deal with the symptoms of the problem rather then ask why these men are so likely to commit suicide.

Yes, I realize that it is bullshit they are peddling, but even the premise is riddled with erroneous thinking. Though from their perspective, former military may be the very type that can legitimately challenge government power.

@LTJG_Pliskin @Darb @swattysquad Last I checked, there are plenty of black Dragon Ball fans in spite of the lack of "diversity."

@WashedOutGundamPilot Think about how many women claim they have gained wisdom or insight from being doing what this woman says she missed out on. That "wisdom" is always about how they just HAD to make those mistakes to know what they really wanted. And that answer is basically getting married and having children. Only those women are racing against the clock to accomplish that.

This is why we had arranged marriages. It prevents stupid women from "making mistakes."
