Well, it’s a question of probabilities - will drinking raw water make you sick? Probably not, but the probability of it making you sick is higher than drinking properly treated water. You PROBABLY won’t get cholera or giardia from drinking it, but you DEFINITELY won’t get those diseases from drinking treated water.

And…

Is well water the same as this pure water? I always thought well water would have their own added compounds just through the ground and delivery system.

Jesus stright up said the old religious rules were ended. I don’t see many Christians sacrificing lambs on an alter and lots of them eat Shrimp. The majority of Christians don’t read the majority of their favorite book.

Because that’s just Thor. Literally. White Jesus’s appearance was deliberately based on Thor so Northern Europeans would worship him. A lot of art up until the 15th/16th century was made generic enough to be either to appeal to Norse Christians.

I don’t think they ever found a home for that Baphomet statue the Satanic church commissioned when some bible thumpers put the ten commandments up at a courthouse. It’s a nice statue, too; horned Baphomet sits on a throne flanked by adorable children.

I’m not sure I’d say either has a fundamental message, and some of the worst elements of the OT persist into the NT.

You’d think, but it’s an outdated stereotype. Pew did a big study a couple years back and found that church attendance increases with income for all races, but especially whites. From a historical perspective this makes sense; my ancestors the Methodist circuit riders baptized a lot of barely-literate dirt farmers…

although church attendance rates are much lower for low-income whites than for similarly situated blacks and Latinos.

My first thought was this might be the week we get the first All Black Clapback Mailbag.

Go for the baphomet statue, but use the original design, where the goat demon also had boobs. And have it be 20 feet tall, and lit 24 hours a day.

The “Old Testament bad, Jesus good” idea is a fallacy. If you dig into the gospels (and the rest of the New Testament) you can find plenty of sick, evil nonsense. Jesus said some fine things, but you don’t need Jesus to believe in those things. They were evident to countless sages before and after him.

Idk, in the south a lot of poor whites go to church. In the North a lot claim Christian, but don’t attend

Now that I think about it is their a highway 666? That’s where a Bacchus statue should go.. If highway 666 doesn’t exist someone should start a petition. (Googling)

more appropriate maybe...

I will never understand our devotion to the religion that was forced upon us via slavery. When I was like 7 or 8 I asked my Sunday School teacher how Jesus could be blonde haired blue eyed despite clearly being some sort of Arab and she stammered through some bullshit answer I knew I would never subscribe to that…

I’ve always thought that was the one statue that should remain. Anything that depicts a Confederate leader as a Shrek villain is unwittingly on-point.

Also, I haven’t figured out why he hates Jeff Bezos so much other than that he might have actual billionaire money — as opposed to someone so up to his eyeballs in Russian oligarchic mafia debt that he’s forced by those same & related oligarchs to launder cash for them via Cyprus DeustcheBank offices (where our…

The DOT refused the request, claiming that the department “does not plant foliage on its right-of-way with the sole intention of blocking items on private property based on what might be offensive to some and not to others.”

They’re just pissed because the City Council Of Memphis beat them at their own game. “States’ rights” has -always- meant “States’ rights [to keep human beings like livestock and punish Black people for being Black]”, rather than any sort of real disdain for Big Federal Gubmint interfering in state and local affairs.…

He also, in defense of his ugly-ass statue, once told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that “Somebody needs to say a good word for slavery.”
