  • Sorry I'm late, but I don't think Matthew 25:41 suggests Jesus believed in eternal punishment. It's a very specific theology that we know very well today, so it's easy to read it into the text. But that verse says that the fire is eternal, not necessarily the suffering.

    It's pretty likely that Jesus believed in the idea of the "second death"(not eternal).

    “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matt 10:28)

    Its more likely that Jesus's understanding of hell is far from the modern Christian theology.

    Now about human hierarchy:

    Off the top of my head, we have:

    • Jesus commanding the rich man to sell everything he has and give the money to the poor
    • "the last will be first and the first will be last"
    • Luke 6:20-25
    • talking with and standing up for sex workers

    I'm sure I can find more when I have some time.

  • That any person who disobeyed the ruler should be tortured.

    If this is about hell, I don't think Jesus believed in hell, at least not as we know it. He also did definitely teach about erasing the social hierarchy, at least among humans. So he was a theocrat, sure, but he wasn't only a theocrat.

  • I would think the image uses the class definition of capitalist. (Part of the owning class, not the working class)

    Otherwise, technically, if the means of production are owned by the people or the state, then other private property(not used for production) can exist without capitalism. So you could have someone who believes in private property but not capitalism. But you're basically right.

  • Cover letters seem to be the perfect application for LLMs. I ain't writing an essay on why I want to work here.

  • Canadian here. Choosing between UK English and US English feels like choosing between an abusive father and abusive husband.

  • God you're stupid if you somehow came to that conclusion after I said I prefer the Democrats twice

  • You said you voted against fascism, but you voted for lesser fascism. I'd probably do the same but I'm not gonna pretend like Democrats are the good guys.

  • I take it you voted 3rd party then

  • The liberals are not a left wing party, but ya people are just scared of trump and our own conservatives, understandably so.

  • I'm not American but I probably would have voted Democrat if I was.

    However, Democrats who are more mad at leftists voting third party than they're mad at republicans or their own fucking party that simply could not be bothered to stop bombing children to gain the left-wing vote: Go fuck yourselves.

  • Y'all, these comments are not it. How are you more upset about fat people than how the airlines have given all our leg room and storage space to first class/business class?

  • I agree completely. I'm honestly a little annoyed by some of the antitheists in this thread. They should know that historically societies become less religious after quality of life and progressive outlooks develop, not before. So the way you "defeat religion", if that's even possible, is by raising living standards and fighting for equality. There are Christians who do more to end Christianity than most atheists.

    Also using FOSS as an analogy for religion is hilarious to me for some reason. It works though.

  • Im talking about people I know personally. People who know I'm an atheist and are more likely to consider my point of view if I added scriptures. That's all

  • Rhetorical purposes. Religious people are more likely to listen to their god than listen to an atheist.

  • I was raised conservative Christian and I lost my faith in university. You're 100% right but I sometimes feel a strong urge to "convert" back but only practice the cool parts. Like I'd one-up christians and quote Jesus' most socialist verses at them. Maybe start a Facebook page about how the NT has been corrupted in this modern day, conspiracy-theorist style, but the hidden message is just Marxism.

    I feel like somebody out there has embodied that, and I'd like to give them space to reclaim the word Christian for themself at least.

  • "Unless you only care about closing tickets, that is."

    Perfect. I'll use it for tests at work then.

  • This is completely tangential but I think juniors will always be capable of things that LLMs aren't. There's a human component to software that I don't think can be replaced without human experience. The entire purpose of software is for humans to use it. So since the LLM has never experienced using software while being a human, there will always be a divide. Therefore, juniors will be capable of things that LLMs aren't.

    Idk, I might be missing a counterpoint, but it makes sense to me.

  • As someone fairly new to Lemmy, y'all should just try making informative posts. I see lots of posts exactly like this, but there's never any substance. What exactly did those instances do to earn their reputation? Start there. I'm close to blocking some communities because the lore just has no entry point so why bother.
