1 Timothy 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Modern translation: Trump that Bitch!
Good luck with that. (Rabbit snicker in background)
This is only an early form of Russian influence. First Timothy is a pseudepigraph book (not actually written by Paul, but by faithful followers probably using his actual letters that no longer exist), and like Facebook information should be turned over to the FBI and Congress who are investigating these issues.
Those bad bad Russian hackers have a long sordid history going way way back. HOw Byzantine of them. Of which they are proud.
@2 How else do you explain the Salem witch trials, or the burning of witches? Women cannot possible exceed men in the knowledge of having babies. This passage and others in the New Testament have done tremendous harm, and are an affront to humanity. The world in neither a woman or mans world. Frankly the world doesn’t give a care to human beings. Just another species that will come an go. A smart species, but perhaps too smart for themselves. From the worlds view same goes more or less for rabbits.
Billy Jean King Had some balls to show up this passage. Though someone laughed all the way to the bank.
There was always a shortage of volunteers to explain this passage to Annie Oakley.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12 NIV
It’s all a bunch of crap designed to control the populace.
@8 Huh. Kinda like arm chair “social justice” warriors, the “political correctness screeches”, “micro-agressions” against anything with which you disagree or interrupts the self massaging of your tender sensibilities, ‘sin’ taxes and bans on behavior and products you don’t like . . . plastic bags, food in trash cans, soda taxes, bullet taxes, cigarette taxes…
No matter what you do, it will never be enough
@8,
Well Hell’s Bells, PI. Thanks for stating the obvious. Christianity got its big break when Roman Emporer Constantine saw the political advantage of allying himself to the new upstart religion because it was gaining popularity with the citizens. It’s better to convert the nation and stay the ruling class than it is to resist something that got to be so damn popular. Plus the conversion opened a helluva lot of opportunities to help your friends and punish your enemies. All you had to do to punish the enemy was to demoize them in the eyes of the gullible Christian riff-raff.
After Rome fell, the Pope of the time sought to ally himself with Clovis, a Frankish barbarian who was looking to enhance his position. So, he became a “Christian” because the Pope said the Church would bless his kingdom and name him the new Holy Roman Emporer. Clovis couldn’t turn down that deal because, like all barbarians of the time, he wanted respect wherever he could find it. Being the new HRE meant he (and his descendants) would be the Top Dogs of Europe. Of course, he had to protect the clergy, and they wanted to be big wheels themselves. The Church said Clovis was God’s own chosen HRE, and Clovis retuned the favor by giving the clergy lots and lots of benefits.
Later on, Clovis’ grandson, Charlemagne, started converting other Germanic tribe (like the Saxons) to Christianity at the point of the sword. That was the methodology they used to spread Christianity for a couple of centuries, converting the Baltic tribes and Scandinavian Germanic tribes in a similar fashion.
My boy, Muhammad, did the same thing after he built up a bit of a power base on the Saudi Arabian Peninsula. Muhammad was really a bit of a pussy at the start, preaching peace and tolerance of all religions, but after he got some power going, he started using the scimitar to win the hearts and minds of the neighborhood folks.
Yes, religion is used to keep the powerful powerful and keep the clergy in a favorable position in society. Hell, why go through all that BS to become a priest or an imam if you’re not gonna benefit from it? The tenets of any religion are just the methodologies used to gain dominance, power, control and privilege.
@9 Quoting Niemoller doesn’t quite fit your shtick. The “social justice warriors” aren’t going to trundle you off to an extermination camp. On the other hand, that’s exactly what people of your mindset want to do to us liberals. They’ve said so.
BREAKING NEWS:
The Chicago Police Dept. has replaced all sirens with the National Anthem, to force suspects to stop running and take a knee.
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be President someday. Both of her parents, Democratic Party members, were standing there so I asked her, “If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?”
She replied.. “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.” Oh, how her parents beamed with pride!
“Wow…what a worthy goal!” I said . . . “But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that!”
“What do you mean?” she replied
So I told her, “You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I’ll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.”
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?”
I said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”
Her parents aren’t speaking to me anymore.
If you know any Republicans that would get a chuckle out of this, share it with them.
Most Democrats will just ignore it, I guess the logic escapes them.
How cool is this!
I wonder how many Kaepernick donated…
They asked us to choose sports heroes over country, and most people chose country.
plastic bags,
world’s choking on plastic.. seen the oceans?
food in trash cans,
don’t waste food. I’m frugal.. Don’t mind sorting my trash. It’s only responsible.
soda taxes,
soda’s a waste of money. sugar sodas cause obesity. don’t buy it. don’t pay the tax.
bullet taxes,
no guns in the house, not a problem.
cigarette taxes…
don’t smoke..
damn. certain stuff really burns a putin toy’s ass..
@10 You must still be upset with Charles Martel since your little history here is well a bit mussed up.
She replied.. “I’d give ammo and Oxy to all the toothless, sister-fucking, hillbilly traitors.” Oh, how her parents beamed with pride!
“Wow…what a worthy goal!” I said . . . “But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that!”
“What do you mean?” she replied
So I told her, “You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I’ll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the gun store where all the toothless, sister-fucking, hillbilly traitors hang out, and you can give them the $50 to use toward ammo and Oxy.”
