As you say; ‘Your view’, not that of the creator, and science can show no proof of this conjecture.

The creator doesn't share his view. Except that an ancient law on causing a miscarriage that remains in exodus, shows that anciently a foetus was not a human.

Science can inform our ethics. On one boundary we know how much brain you need to be conscious (in the sense of awake). So we are very cautious about abortions during the third trimester, because at some point during that we suspect that there's the beginnings of personhood.

This is starting to contrast with Christian-based law where the infant must draw breath in order to realize human rights.

On the other boundary, we know that where there is no brain at all, there cannot be a human.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Yes. Breath and life are two sides of the same coin anciently. And you can find passages like this throughout the bible that day that before breath there is no living soul, consistent with the passage in exodus about the penalty for causing a miscarriage.

A foetus doesn't breathe.

This slide into arbitrary actions denies the obvious truth that if you don’t kill it it will manifest in a form which even a lawyer would have difficulty explaining away without negating all definitions of life.

Lots of things move without having life. A kite. A landslide. A planet in orbit.

But your argument is that because the infant John the Baptist kicked, and Elizabeth felt it, therefore:

1) he already had a soul.
2) everyone else also suggest has a soul at that age.
and
3) he has this soul since conception.

None of those follow from the premise. I personally feel that (1) and (2) are probably right, but this is late in the pregnancy.

But (3) isn't right to my thinking. And it certainly doesn't follow.

This is your obtuse definition of the effects of mixing dust from the floor of the temple with water and drinking it.

No.

Am I wasting my time talking to a bot?

The minimum is a point in time each year.

It's not unimportant, and it usually falls at a time of year when the extent represents the global warming positive feedback of ice-albedo: In mid summer the dark ocean absorbs the sun's energy, but white sea ice reflects it. In mid winter that matters less, because there is no sun.

You admit that the obvious inference is that the child leaping is the start of the quickening

Not necessarily the start. But certainly during that.

but have another definition of the child when it comes to killing it.

The Bible is clear on that in the exodus passage that I quoted.

However, that's not my view. I think that a foetus' life matters as a human's when they become capable of consciousness, which would be some time in the third trimester.

The story of the unborn, but late term, John the Baptist leaping in the presence of Mary does not weigh in on when a foetus becomes a human life: The point of that story is to convince John's followers that they should follow Jesus.

I accept the clear and obvious inference of scripture that what begins at conception is a life.

Because Elizabeth felt her baby move?

Can you point out the "clear and obvious inference" that therefore the foetus has a soul from conception?

The link to kicking isn't as obvious as you claim. On the other hand Exodus 21:22 is unambiguous: causing a miscarriage is not taking a life.

When they say "How the Amazon's 'Boiling River' foreshadows a warmer world", they're talking about using the boiling river as a model to determine how increasing temperatures might affect particular species.

A major report on various global tipping points published in 2023, authored by more than 200 researchers including Boulton, explored the risk that the Amazon rainforest could soon turn into a much drier place – something resembling savannah rather than jungle.

And yet by studying the Boiling River, we can get an idea of which species are most likely to survive in these harsh new conditions, suggests Fortier. He notes the example of the giant Ceiba tree (Ceiba lupuna), which can grow to be up to 50m (164ft) tall. This tree seemed resilient to higher temperatures near the Boiling River, according to Kullberg, an observation backed up by previous research.

There's no continuity of law or belief from modern Druidry and Vikings.

Whether Druidry’s roots are indeed so exotic, or whether the historical understanding that Druidism evolved in the British Isles about 2,500 years ago is correct, the current revival of interest in Druidism depends not so much upon the ancient past as upon very recent history.

Odin worship appears to have lasted into the 12th century, In the 12th century, centuries after Norway was "officially" Christianised, Odin was still being invoked by the population, as evidenced by a stick bearing a runic message found among the Bryggen inscriptions in Bergen, Norway.

I kinda of wish you'd state what your position is rather than making me infer your meaning from ":)"

You're claiming that Elizabeth didn't feel that "the child leaped in her womb"? And therefore hadn't reached the quickening?

Because the straightforward reading of the passage is that she felt it.

And when the mother can feel the baby move, that's the start of the quickening.

41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me?
44 For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy.

There are three words in the Hebrew bible that are translated as "life" that derive from "breath".

Personhood is conferred not at conception, but when breath is first drawn.

Exodus 21, NRSVUE

22 “When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that there is a miscarriage and yet no further harm follows, the one responsible shall be fined what the woman’s husband demands, paying as much as the judges determine.
23 If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

So a miscarriage is not considered "harm". But the penalty for the man causing it is a fine. If, on the other hand, the mother is harmed or killed the penalty is equivalent harm or death.

For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

This passage is highlighting the exceptionality of John the Baptist. You've misunderstood the point if you think that every baby in the womb would recognise the presence of Jesus.

Moreover, John is clearly moving in the womb, which makes him third trimester. So if he had life then it would align with modern views of when life starts. Not at conception, but around the quickening.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1 KJV

Yes. God had foreknowledge of the prophet Jeremiah. This is even before his conception.

This passage is about God's knowledge. You're misreading it if you think that Jeremiah had personhood before his conception because God already knew what he would look like. Moreover, it is again talking about the exceptionality of Jeremiah. So even if you disagree that God can know the future, and you conclude that Jeremiah must have had personhood before he was formed in the womb, then this doesn't extrapolate to anyone else.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

There's some elements that are agreed upon in there. Gift giving, Mistletoe. But there's a lot there that's probably independently developed by Christians.

This article links most of the typical Christmas traditions to Saturnalia.

It was not lost on early Christians, who "calculated" the date of Jesus' birth, was close to the winter solstice, and therefore especially auspicious. But that was incidental to falling close to Saturnalia. There is a case for mistletoe being inherited from Yule, but as referenced in the GP comment, the Christmas tree does not go anywhere near that far back. It's interesting that Romans decorated trees with metal ornaments during Saturnalia, but between that and the first Christmas trees lies 1500 years of Christianity. There's no continuity of that tradition.

In the first few centuries of Christianity, the Christians wanted to spread their religion around Europe. But they were also quite fascinated by the religions that already existed. They knew that it would be difficult for ordinary people to completely divorce themselves from everything they had always known. This included the celebrations for the winter solstice. They had to give the people something that was familiar and known. Given that Jesus was born around the same time, it was easy enough to incorporate existing traditions into the celebration of the birth of Jesus.

This is a commonly believed argument. I believe that it's less true in actual detail than in broad speculation.

Santa, and linked in the CP comment, is much more modern than Odin, and a millennium and a half lie between him and Odin.

Just like Easter Christians found it easier to convert people with similar holidays to the ones that were popular with pagans.

The study Gender Identity Disparities in Criminal Victimization: National Crime Victimization Survey, 2017-2018, shows that transgender people suffer violent victimization at about 4.24 times the rate of cisgender people. About 19% of those were perceived to be hate crimes by the victim. Whereas 9% of the violent crimes were perceived to be hate crimes by the cisgender victims.

Although advocates, bloggers and media groups have elevated the epidemic of violence against trans and gender non-conforming people in the past several years, data collection is often incomplete or unreliable when it comes to violent and fatal crimes against the trans community. Some victims’ deaths may go unreported or misreported, while other victims may not be identified as trans or gender non-conforming.

Is that so. What evidence do you have that the didn't in the past?

Because the evidence better fits that you're just lying that they "literally reporting news that other outlets will not".

At around 30/year, trans people in the US are less likely to be murdered than the general population.

Are you certain that the deceased were exhaustively asked about their gender identity?

And even of those, few, if any, are any kind of "hate" crime;

Please link me to your data source on that.

Thompson Reuters Special services LLC isn't the only one being paid

That's right. It's only most of it.

the news service is also in the link u/Questionable provided.

But u/Questionable is talking about $300M. REUTERS NEWS & MEDIA INC received $10.29M of that. It's more than a little dishonest to inflate the value 1944%.

Also I don't see how there isn't a conflict of a interest regardless.

Because Reuters reported on Musk, you think there is a conflict of interest in the government using a separate entity for big data analysis for defence and decision making?

Can you explain why that is a bit more clearly?

Stop trying to move on when you're lies are called out.

You have said that "Reduxx documents attacks on women by trans identifying males every day "

The most recent one I can see is a week ago. Please link me to the articles documenting attacks on women by trans women for the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th ,16th and 17th.

Or admit that you were wrong about that.

Your "hard stat" confuses sex offenses with murder. You have yet to show that you understand that these are not the same thing. Given that sex offenses are much more common, you also need to admit that you are being misleading by comparing those stats.

Your "Even more" does not compare violence where trans people are the victim to where trans people are the perpetrator. It only says that there are 76 trans people in jail who have a record of sex offenses. The part that is (fucking obviously) is even the attempt to count the sex offenses against trans people. Is it that even considering that side would destroy your narrative of hate, and so you'd prefer to appear to dumb to understand basic math?

Being paid 300 million dollars to push a government's point of view is not news. That's propaganda.

You need to use the same definition as for the 76, don't you. The whole point of this is to compare the numbers. You can't use different definitions.

This is very basic stuff, Xeonix. Are you really this dumb?

You realize there's a pipeline of abused children -> gender therapy that is also used to inflate your scare stats.

Oh, the irony.

So there's a bunch of other points you haven't addressed from above.

1) Do you realize murder isn't a sex offense.

2) Do you realize that sex offenses are much more common than murder.

Or do we need to go through what murder is, and what a sex offense is?

Reduxx documents attacks on women by trans identifying males every day

Every day huh?

Wow.

Every 68 seconds another American is sexually assaulted, and they've managed to scrape together one story a day from the entire globe. Well. The lead story is from a week ago. And there's been no stories of a sexual assault by a trans there since then.

So perhaps one per week.

which alone exposes that report as bullshit.

How the fuck can you think that that refutes the findings of that research? You haven't even looked at the relative rates.

Here is a hard stat for you,

1) Well if someone made a tweet on X, obviously the fucking people doing actual research must be mistaken.

2) That's comparing murder on one side to sex offenses on the other. Do you not even realise that those are different offenses, and that sexual offenses are much more common?

FFS. Do I really have to explain what murder is, and what a sex offense is?

And more, even.

Okay. So 76 trans people in the UK have are sex offenders. So now you have to show that less than 304 trans people in the UK are victims of a sex offense.

This is really fucking basic mathematics, Xoenix.

dumbass.

Projecting much?

You don't know the difference between murder and sexual assault, and the mathematics of trying to refute that a group of people is not four times more likely to be victims than perpetrators of a crime is beyond you.

These are pagan symbols having nothing to do with the Lord.

Christmas trees are not pagan. They are much later than that. They first show up in 15th century CE Germany, we can trace the origins of the practise to the upper rhine region in the 14th century CE: All connected with Christians celebrating Christmas.

The reindeer is even more modern. It's an addition to the saint nicholas / santaclaus story for children at christmas from the New World. It seems to date from the early 1820s CE, and from New York.

Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem on a donkey

Where is that claim from?

It's not biblical: Neither Luke (The one where the angel tells the shepherds about the messiah's birth, and they head on in to Jerusalem and tell Mary) nor Matthew (The one where Magi show up looking for he King of the Jews, on account of a star they saw in the east) mention a donkey.

Of course the government engages big data analysis for national security and better economic decision making.

Similarly an aircraft pilot doesn't wear a blindfold.

The misleading part of the tweet is this is tied to (also good) reporting done by the journalism arm of Reuters. The reason why you'd find this misleading post on X is because the reporting in question was holding Musk to account.

Oh, the irony.

Statistically speaking, this is the most dangerous group to women.

Statistically speaking attacks on women by trans women are nearly non-existent. They are orders of magnitude less dangerous than stepfathers, uncles or pastors.

The danger is the other way around. Transgender people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to experience violent victimization, including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated or simple assault

NONE of the stories on Reduxx are about sexual assault or murder of trans women. Despite that being much more common.

Three of the stories on the front page of Reduxx now are by your Genevieve Gluck.

Every story in the front page is about a transgender person or policy. Every one. This website is focused on transgender people alone.

The majority of the stories about a transgender individual are about someone who has committed a heinous crime: Murder or child abuse.

There is one about an athlete who the article claims is a man competing unfairly with women.

That is what a which hunt looks like. Sifting through hundreds of millions of court cases to find the ones where a transgender person committed a crime.

"making himself money"

Yes. This is who known. From negotiating IP for his family from China, requiring there secret service and foreign diplomats to stay at his hotels, charging them well above market, to hiring his family to high paying cushy Jobs.

Then there's the things we suspect. Elevating dictators on the international stage. Weakening national cybersecurity. Overseeing a massive loss in HumInt sources, while being so needful of state secrets that he stole them after his presidency. Getting $2 billion from the house of saud.

Trump is one of the only Presidents that lost wealth during his term as President.

You're goming to need a good source for that.

What is it?

Because he was bust last time. And he funneled money from his donors into his own pockets, and those of his lawyers.

Not a good look. But he didn't look at that monster's case and pardon him.

This was part of the pardoning of everyone who was given home release during COVID. That is, ones that are judged to be, non-violent, and unlikely to re-offend.

This is a measure to take some pressure off the federal prisons, so that dangerous people can be taken off the street.

This has been well reported. You know it. I know it. Stop trying to protect criminals by claiming that the Dems are just as bad.

Having said that, he shouldn't have pardoned his son. That frees Trump to pardon all the criminals and pedophiles and rapists who are loyal to him with much less outrage.

No it doesn't. The GOP is the party of pedophiles. They support putting a pedophile in control of the legal system.

The GOP president elect has been supportive of pedophillia in the past as well as the present: “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Yes, Joe Biden gave clemency to a Chinese National as part of a part of a November prisoner swap with China to free U.S. citizens.

The difference between Biden and Trump when dealing with pedophiles is that Biden required Shanlin Jin to immediately depart from the US, and is permanently banned from re-entering, forfeited any potential financial benefits from publicizing his case, and if Jin violates the conditions of his commutation, the commutation can be voided, and his original sentence reinstated. Whereas Trump offered Gaetz the job of Attorney General, where he would be in a position to protect the paedophile community.

Understanding the impact of conspiracy belief on democratic culture will enable us to understand how to better protect democracy to these kinds of attacks.

There is either open discussion about a topic or censorship.
