    24:13 I'm interested in homesteading, but there's a *razor thin* line between homesteading and prepping so I do the research but I don't interact with many social media homesteaders because I don't want to find out they're "secretly" preppers

    4:51 one of my old jobs did a week long secret santa. $5 gifts Mon-Thurs and a $20 on Fri. The first year i was there the girl I got complained about what she got all week long (I got things that were on her list) while she had not gotten her secret santa anything and on Friday I waited to see if she got her secret santa anything. When I saw that she didn't I gave her secret santa the gift I had gotten for her. She never apologized

    35:40 as someone who was against the war for a long time, and then married a Marine, it's important to separate the individual soldier from the overall conflict. The military plucks 18 yo kids out of high school with promises of good pay, free college, and a bunch of other lies.

    19:47 there's also an economic layer to that. There are times where the product in the store that is made by a company that donates to terrible things is cheaper than the product made by the morally superior company. Sometimes even choosing the moral high ground is a financial luxury

    11:17 but the problem with that is it seems like the same people who are admonishing those who make/share the memes are by and large the same people who were *silent* when Alex Jones and his ilk were saying that Sandy Hook was faked and those grieving parents were actors.

    35:45 when I was in my late teens/early twenties my best friend cheated a few times. I would always cover for her but she knew my covering for her came with a conversation after the fact. She also knew my covering for her was not a sign of approval of her actions

    15:13 i was raised southern baptist but by parents who encouraged me to think for myself and our family left the church when I was about 10: I struggled with my "sexual" nature with my first boyfriend, but it was solely because he was manipulative and felt his own guilt and wanted me to feel the same.

  • @RicochetRita1989
    @RicochetRita1989 หลายเดือนก่อน

    5:42 i think the term for that is "closed door" romance, the scene itself is not described but the reader is informed that sex happened or is about to happen.

    40:02 in any other argument I, like Mike, try to call people what they call themselves. But in the abortion argument I call "pro-life" people Forced Birthers. But I have a more visceral reaction to the "pro-life" argument

    Norse Paleopagan, Scholar... I will give my 2 cents.... Abraham came from Mesopotamia. Specifically city of Ur, founded in 3800 BCE. The city is now known as Tall al-Muqayyar, and is located about 200 miles southeast of Baghdad. Abraham lived in Mesopotamia and was exposed to a polytheistic culture. He rejected his family's beliefs and became a monotheist. traveled west to Shechem in Canaan. Land of the Canaanites (4500 to 1550 BCE). From there, the Hebrews are considered to have emerged from groups of indigenous Canaanites, meaning that the Hebrews essentially developed as a distinct people within the larger Canaanite population, sharing cultural and linguistic similarities with them; essentially, the Hebrews are considered a branch of the Canaanite people (Biblical Hebrew is considered a regional variation of the Canaanite language). Archaeological findings support the idea that the Israelite culture, which is associated with the Hebrews, largely overlapped with and derived from Canaanite culture. The word Hebrew comes from the word ʿeber, which means "the other side". This could refer to Abraham, who crossed into Canaan from the other side of the Euphrates or Jordan River. The Hebrew Bible refers to the Hebrews as the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the patriarchs of Israel. Which is why... Deuteronomy 32:8, When the Elyon apportioned the nations, when he divided humankind, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the bene elohim which numbered in 70. Elyon is the creator god of the Canaanites. One of his kids is El Shaddai (who was worshipped all the way until Moses). El Shaddai had a wife named Asherah and they had 70 kids. One of them named Yahweh. Yes, Yahweh is technically a Canaanite god. But I digress..... Abraham would have brought stories from Mesopotamia with him. Including tales of the religion... including creation. The name Adam means "son of the red Earth". It comes from the Hebrew word adamah (אדמה), which means "earth". The name "Eve" comes from the Hebrew word Chavah, which means "to breathe" or "to live". Genesis 5. Adam. 930 years. Divided by moon cycles, that would be 77.5 years old. No statement of how he died. The bible never mentions the death of Eve. Jubilees and and The Life of Adam and Eve, non canon, attempt to explain. Jubilees says Eve died shortly after Adam. 6 years after. Yet never mentioned in the bible. Focusing on male lineage instead. As was the cultural norm. Cultural. However, Eve is tied to prophesy in Genesis 3. "The seed of the WOMAN will crush the serpent's head". (Proto Evangelium) Then oral tradition was used CENTURIES before anything was written down. According to a traditional view, Adam and Eve were created by God as fully formed humans between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago (which given historical understanding makes them NOT the first people). According to the Sumerian King List, the earliest Sumerian king mentioned is Alulim, who is said to have ruled the city of Eridu around 6,000 BCE. Fits the time line of Adam and Eve... In ancient Mesopotamian traditions, the name "Alulim" is often considered a potential equivalent to the biblical figure Adam, particularly due to the Sumerian King List which names Alulim as the first king, ruling over the city of Eridu, which is seen as a possible "first city" concept mirroring the biblical creation narrative where Adam is the first human; thus, drawing a connection between the two names as representing the first human ruler in their respective traditions. There's that pagan influence, again... Eridu derived from Akkadian edinnu, which came from the Sumerian word..... EDIN (Eden.... hello?) meaning 'plain' or 'steppe', closely related to an Aramaic root word meaning 'fruitful, well-watered'. The name Alulim derived from the name Adapa of ancient Mesopotamian religion. Adapa was a Mesopotamian mythical figure who unknowingly refused the gift of immortality. Well isn't that something...... Adapa, and his wife Kava (Sumerian etymological equivalent of Adam and Eve) were jointly called... Adama. I state again... The name Adam means "son of the red Earth". It comes from the Hebrew word adamah (אדמה), which means "earth". The name "Eve" comes from the Hebrew word Chavah, which means "to breathe" or "to live". Adam and Eve come from Pagan Sumerian, not out of a vacuum. In Mesopotamian mortuary tradition, it was said that the dead traveled to The House of Dust (Genesis says "God, who formed Adam out of the dust of the ground, announces that Adam will one day die and return to dust"). Genesis 1-11 is HEAVILY influenced by Mesopotamian mythology, drawing on themes and elements from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian creation myths, like the "Eridu Genesis" and the "Enuma Elish," while adapting them to a monotheistic perspective unique to the Hebrew Bible. Even the Cain and Abel story is found in the Sumerian myth of Enlil and Enki. Both Mesopotamian myths and Genesis include stories about creation, a great flood, and the origins of humanity, often with similar characters and plot elements. The entire Abrahamic religious line comes from paganism. A paganism that is distantly related to Norse.

    29:21 no, Matthew is right... it's stupid. I was told by someone who didn't attend the same church as me that my baptism "didn't count" because I was baptized at the beach and my pastor was in swim trunks, didn't have a shirt on, and I was wearing a bikini. We were the same denomination but attended different churches. There is *no* consistency within the Christian (southern baptist) faith...
