Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

jfc The Boys was an actual documentary.
It's pretty wild. You can find copies of the Ethiopian Bible in English, which is the most complete Bible, to date, although mistranslations are certainly in there as well, and it doesn't contain the Book of Adam and Eve, and perhaps another book or two. It's kind of difficult to properly translate without reading ancient Aramaic, as well. I had to give myself a hiatus from studying it because I don't know Aramaic of any sort, and it's a long, slow, tedious process. If time, money, and proper education aren't factors, and one is interested, it's worth the time, as it's extremely fascinating.
Back when I was a clinic escort, we had a group of fundamentalist catholics we had to deal with. One of our escorts was a retired college professor who was fond of reading the early greek versions of the bible. Needless to say, there have been quite a few changes since then, and she always had fun with one of the picketers who liked to spout off bible verses, and she'd say, “Well, but it didn’t originally say that…”
