Good to know the guy that fucked me in the ass, but refused to pay me and then called the cops to report me is going to burn in hell
Yeah, sorry about that
At least he didn’t murder you.
...yet. It doesn't say it all has to happen at once.
Yeah but that's how you unlock the secret cow level
Similarly, In the divine comedy, predatory loan sharks are in the seventh circle of hell with the “sodomites” in the area designated as “sins of violence against god”. Interestingly, Dante the character seems rather chill about the “sodomites” when he talks with them.
Who doesn’t love a good sodomite
Sodome? No, sodomyou
I strike at thee, from hell's heart!
Is just fucking some chick in the ass
It's been my experience that the devout cherry-pick from the bible to find material that supports their personal world view. Since the bible is constantly contradicting itself, this is wholly possible.
It's been my experience they just decide what they believe then pretend it's in the bible.
That of course is a perfectly valid possibility as well.
That's the real power of faith. It makes you delusional
What was the crime of Sodom and Gomorrah? According to my rabbi (and supported by the writings and prophets), it was making charity illegal. The punishment for breaking said crime was gang raping the receiver of said charity. Only rich people were allowed in the cities, you see, with the idea that this would make the cities stronger. Drive out the weak and undesirable was the idea.
There is no such thing as "traditional Christian theology". This highly depends on denomination.
Yes there most certainly is and it's called Catholicism. Open a history book and jump to the section of the Church of Antioch founded by Peter.
It was the first and largest Christian church at the time and yes, it was very much a Catholic church.
And it was in no way Catholic in the modern sense of papal supremacy. Orthodox churches are closer to it.
That's not relevant.
A major change between the churches you claimed were practically the same is not relevant?
That original church splitting into two for theological (at least as a pretext) reasons is not relevant?
That's without even considering that actual Christian history did not necessarily happen as the church says it did and early Christianity was far more localized and diverse.
There is no such thing as “traditional Christian theology”
There IS however, biblical theology, repeating the same statement 3 times making a statement "fact" and such,
It really is quite interesting
Well, at least murder isn't at historic highs (unlike the rest)
