Step 1: Complain about technology and kids these days. Step 2: Make sure to include a hash tag to ensure people can discuss your art on the platforms you’ve criticized.

[thisisjustsomegirl]

I hate when people try to criticize this generation for using the media that has been presented to us. How dare anyone try to say that my choice of media is less worthy than another choice? I am more connected to the world through digital media than I ever could be in print, simply because i do not have the money for a newspaper subscription and to purchase all the books I’d need to equal the information at my fingertips. I can be immersed in US Politics, International diplomacy, wars, droughts, famine, disease, disaster that plagues countries my ancestors likely died never knowing existed. 

The style of my media does not reflect the quality of the media I ingest. Someone who forsakes smartphones and tablets and laptops can have spectacularly shitty taste in books, just as I can have incredibly intellectual, highly curated Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Instagram feeds which reflect a high degree of empathy for the world around me. My world is just a little bit bigger than my parents or their parents before them was.

This is happening in my town BOOST THIS. Get a free pit bull today with medical records and all. Dont let em die the shelters full COME ON. Bay area to LA come help the dogs out !

[mfpen]

Booost!!!!

[thisisjustsomegirl]

Does anyone understand how fast I’d be at the shelter giving a loving home to one or two of these beautiful babies if fucking apartment complexes didn’t blame the breed. I get that their hand is forced mostly by public opinion and not wanting ignorant residents to complain or be held liable for accidents, but it will be quite a few years before I find a house to rent or buy and I have wanted to give a home to a shelter Pit for years.

Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

Isn’t it nice how people twist their religious scripture to suit their weds but when it’s used against them it’s suddenly not okay

[crippledcuriosity]

I talked to a monk about this quote once (we have mutual friends, and he came to a New Year’s Eve party at my shared art studio). He said this isn’t even talking about homosexuality. That the bible never actually says homosexuality is wrong. What that passage means is this:

Women were treated as subservient and it that you shouldn’t treat other men as subservient, like they are beneath you. It is not talking about homosexuality. If it was, it would say it outright since the bible lists other things outright.

I take the word of a monk who have studied the bible extensively more than a self proclaimed Christian.

[theguilteaparty]

The above text, I would like to point out is from the point of view of this translation of the original Hebrew. I spoke with my cousin’s rabbi on the matter and his response was different, saying that it was a mistranslation. See, the true translation says that a man shall not lie with another in the bed of a woman, which is to say, the Hebrews had a shit ton of rules about when a man was or was not allowed in a woman’s bed and private quarters (including, if she didn’t want you there, you weren’t allowed there. Hebrew women were also allowed to divorce their husbands and the image of the ‘oppressive Hebrew people’ is an image that was propogated by Christianity which, historically speaking, doesn’t treat the Jewish people too well and liked to paint them as being rather barbaric and backwards and cultish with their traditions, which, another piece of fun info, their traditions were one of the main reasons why the Jewish people were less likely, in medieval times, to die of the plague. Because washing your hands and avoiding the dead and vermin and the like was a lot of help. Of course the Christians persecuted them for not dying but that’s another matter. I’m sidetracked). So the verse is literally saying ‘Don’t fuck in some lady’s bed because that’s just goddamn rude’

Also, whenever a Christian brings the book of Leviticus up, you should feel free to point out that these are rules that were given to make the Hebrew people prepared for when the son of God came to earth. In Christianity, it’s believed the son of God was Jesus. So by following the rules set in Leviticus or pushing them as things we should follow, they’re saying that Jesus was not the son of God, and that Jesus did not, in fact, die for our sins. Jewish people believe, in their faith, that the son of God hasn’t yet been born, so many choose to follow these rules.

Most people of course roll their eyes when I explain the translation of the verse (full breakdown found here) but it’s always fun to point out the nature of the rules in Leviticus and the implications of following them.

I’m a theology student and I am on the verge of crying because of how accurate this commentary is. Historical context is simultaneously the most interesting and most important part of interpreting any texts. 

[zorobro]

Most religious people seem to base their beliefs on things that are severely mistranslated. I wish they would do their research before using the bible for hate.

[justnahok]

I studied theology extensively and was going to become a theologist until I switched majors. The above commentary is 100% accurate and what I try to stress in a lot if conversations with Bible Thumpers.

Jesus also affirms the homosexual relationship between the Roman Centurion and his “slave”. The particular Greek word used to refer to this special slave was “pais”. Greek language studies and contexts show that a “pais” was a male love slave. Regular slaves were called “dolos”. The Centurion makes this distinction clearly when he asks Jesus to heal his slave (pais), and then to prove his status he tells Jesus that his slaves (dolos) go when he tells them to. But this slave (pais) was special. He was the Centurion’s lover.

Hearing this, Jesus was so amazed he says he had not found ANYONE ELSE who had such great faith. He then blesses the Centurion and heals his male lover.

Matthew 8:5-13

THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY TEACHES ABOUT SAME SEX COUPLES.

In short, the English adaptation is a mistranslated farce.
