I think like you I have a lot to learn as well.

That verse isn’t God telling people to do that. It’s someone venting deep pain after their people were destroyed. It’s poetic anger, not a moral command.

For sure. What about after Jesus. Was that a course change to more peaceful tidings?

The onion?

Can we have a forum called attractive pudgy dads who are already married.

How is the Bible fiction? If it were just made up by people then it would promote war and greed and other causes of suffering. I’m not an expert by any stretch but the Bible is a recipe for a good life and helping each other. I’d love to hear an argument that somehow trashes that message.

Still new to Lemmy. As an older gent and having had existential debates I used ChatGPT to discuss my thoughts about a Creator or God and how logic and human experience combined can easily create a compelling argument.

I don’t think it’s perfect. But it’s just a way to express my ideas. If you have something to contribute please do so.

I would ask the trolls to avoid the one line comments that dismiss everything - you just want an outlet for your anger. You can do that elsewhere. If you have nothing nice then best not to say anything and remove all Doubt of who we see you as.

Thanks for looking.

Very good point! I think I was trying to be too mysterious to get people thinking because not a a lot people can view it logically like you do which I appreciate it. Well done.

I’ll gladly remove it if you explain why. I’m focused on the facts and trying to think logically. Have you never had to outmaneuver someone—whether in a game, a negotiation, or even in your career—by temporarily aligning with them to achieve a bigger objective? It’s not about being right, it’s about analyzing dynamics and outcomes.

Calling it the “most ignorant post on Lemmy” is quite a claim. Tens of millions of posts, and mine stands out that much? Honestly, that’s the most attention any comment of mine has ever gotten.

I’m open to being wrong, but let’s discuss the reasoning, not just resort to labeling.

If you don’t know the legal definition of genocide or have enough information to make those logical arguments because of all the conflicting opinions from the media which are just there to confuse you—doesn’t it just feel wrong?

Folks here already pointed out the pure logical explanation why this is genocide very skillfully. Thanks for those comments.

Logically and in my gut this is wrong.

If you look only at it purely logically - think about power structures at play and who wants to get in Trumps inner circle. One of those battles is Bannon vs Musk.

I don’t know if he is a racists but Elon being intelligent he probably deduced that a “fake salute” would help get on the good graces of MAGA. And it seems to have paid off. He’s in the Oval Office and Bannon is begging Trump for attention using this third term rhetoric. Bannon hates musk. This is documented in videos.

Think in terms of power. If you wanted to out maneuver your opponents who do you need on your side and who do you need to cater to. MAGA fundamentally hates billionaires so musk has to Don (pun intended) the MAGA mask. Now this would be a fine game if it didn’t cause suffering on a global scale.

In conclusion. It was a Nazi salute but it was a calculated one.
