“What is it that the child has to teach?

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.

And the child is right.”

— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

“Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’ What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’” –Barbara Alice Mann

isn't it fucked up how computer infrastructure generally cannot deal with characters that are not strictly in the english alphabet and will break if you use some?

I had a few folders written with accents (in spanish) and my browser wouldn't let me upload files from those folders, giving me a "connection error" and it took me like 15 minutes to figure out it was the containing folder name. and I am fortunate enough to speak a mother tongue based on the latin alphabet

You can't debate a religion on what it says. Debating specific interpretations of scripture are what believers have been doing for thousands of years. You can only debate a religion on what it does. What are it's effects? How do it's believers behave? How do they treat believers versus non-believers? How does the religion control it's believers? What do its fundamentalists want, and how does what they want ripple out into even the most progressive sects? What qualities of the religion are inextricable?

Hell, asking what a religion says about property or labor relations usually gets you most of the way there, and the rest of the distance is covered by asking what it says about women.
