Thank you for the thoughtful post with pictures!

LMFAO!

I understand and completely agree from someone who is knowledgeable about this subject matter. However, MOST people are NOT. To clarify again, (and this is something that is getting very annoying to repeat over and over again) the general public have almost NO knowledge about the differences between operating systems.

Microsoft Windows is heavily marketed and, for most of the general public that aren’t aware of Linux, is a cheaper option compared to Apple/Mac/iOS.

I worked with/on Windows for two decades. Through those years I became more and more frustrated with the bugs and vulnerability to outside attacks. Windows is going to be attacked more, and for other reasons, because it is used by more people (a greater attack surface to exploit).

Back in 2008 I switched to Apple/Mac/iOS. I have never regretted it.

IF you have the time/knowledge (which most of the general public doesn’t have) to use Linux, then I’d recommend it.

Please, stop with this ‘fan-boy’ shit about operating systems. Use logic and rational thinking which I believe that I’ve shown above.

…the versions that the filmmaker remastered in 2020 for a 4K Ultra HD re-release. This is the first time the remastered versions will be in theaters.

I believe most people in this thread are missing your point in which I agree.

As far as I can surmise, the Biden administration has accomplished more (for the general public) than any other president in history. Sadly, our local/national media rarely covers this fact.

I have become, mostly, reliant on The Associated Press and National Public Radio over the years.

That’s good to hear.

They are going to vote again in 120 days. Let’s hope the corporate lobbyists don’t sway this back in the other direction.

but whose ass?

Someone (or some group) who wanted control over people. All religious literature is rife with politics.

I’ve read everything else that you’ve stated, and I’m aware of these theories, but in the end I lean toward the simpler explanation above.

Just look at the world today. Same type of shit. Most billionaires make their fortunes off the backs of the populace. And they use all of the well-known tactics to do so. Coming up with stories (propaganda) to influence minds across the board.

However, when you take the effort to drill down into the subject matter at hand you’ll find a ‘small still voice’ which points at the ineffable.

The ineffable is what I embrace.

The hellfire and brimstone stuff really seems to come from somewhere else.

Out of someone’s ass is my guess.

Over the years we’ve collected our FAQ and our Hall of Fame. Many examples in those.

Are you a Christian?

My parents tried to raise me to become one, but that failed. No, I am not a Christian.

What got you started on this kind of biblical study(?)

Many years of spiritual abuse and indoctrination.

It’s not necessarily something that I ‘love explaining to others’. However, academic biblical scholarship has been an interest and endeavor of mine for about thirty years. Luckily and thankfully, I’ve found my self in the center of this unique niche of interested parties with /r/AcademicBiblical and /r/AskBibleScholars.

Think about this for a moment. The biblical texts have had the most influence on western society, and arguably all other societies, for hundreds of years.

Wouldn’t you want to know what these texts are saying?

They aren’t saying what you think they are saying.

If you’ve had no experience with these texts, then you have many years of reading ahead of you.

It is incredibly daunting to know how little most people do not know about this subject. And, at the same time, shape our world based on misinterpretations and/or misunderstandings of this vast library of literature.
