Hon, we're not solving anything on an internet comment section. But I admire you energy and intentions.

Totally fair. Though it shouldn't matter, I lived in the South for a while and still have family scattered about there. Anecdotally, I can tell you the violence and racism haven't subsided and, to my family, has increased as more people of color move to the south. With data, it's proven that crime in the cities is…

Right, someone named "Dick Jokes" who gets butthurt when the south is called racist is someone I should listen to when he/she throws out ad hominems that are less wanting.

Lol. Nice website. Citations are more useful when trying to one-up someone. Find the best!

You having fun arguing something with yourself over there? So, what conversation are y'all having?

It's fun to talk! Conversations are harder.

Cool story.

I should have written it your way. You always brighten my day!

So was the idea to have a conversation with the barista who wrote RaceTogether on your cup? What if the line is 20+ people long and they chose you to talk about race while everyone is staring at you–now the cause of the line's holdup?! That would be anxiety to the max!

Ok, you're not even serious. An article from Aish? This is drivel.

At least he gets a jubilee year!

Every time I engage someone like you it's the same reply. Does the bible account for modern terms or things like airplanes or brunch? If it did which translation are you going to use? Which edited version?

I really appreciate you chiming in. You seem like a person that is open minded and IRL I bet you would be a pleasure to have a dialogue with over a touchy issue like this one. I appreciate your comments!

And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. "But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life…

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

I'm more worried about that happening because I fear this kind of legislation would still pass and these kinds of people would still be elected into office. It's getting harder to be an optimist.

Yes.

To be fair, the bible is full of that kind of immoral bullshit. At least they're listening to their base.
