I don't understand how people can say this. I've heard someone else say the same thing recently, or something very similar, about things that happen digitally (like over text or the internet) not being "real." If you are a real person, how can you not understand that the entity you are posting to or texting to is also real? This isn't an accusation, although I see how it can read accusatory.
You're right, of course. It's just one more thing about the world I don't understand
No real consequences.
Someone can call me a little bitch here and there is nothing I can do. Someone can call me a little bitch to my face and there is consequences.
Is why I troll....

A very wise justice once said “if you get arrested in another country, your allegiance is to that country”. Stupidity knows no bounds for the justice that doesn’t know what a woman is.

It has to be one or the other.
Because there isn't a contentious conversation she's involved in that goes longer than 3-4 back and forth responses in which she doesn't start to mischaracterize her opponent's viewpoint.
That's either intentional or it's not.
I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming that it is. Otherwise she's really a moron.

This is Holy Week and we're reminded that Jesus was humiliated and tortured to death for simply being a good dude.
I don't know what religious persuasion you are, but, taking the words of the gospel at face value (I'm atheist), Jesus was not crucified simply for being a "good dude".

This is the correct answer.
According to the Gospel accounts the Jewish religious authorities wanted Jesus dead for two reasons: claiming to be God, and telling them that salvation was not going to be limited to the people of Israel.

Right. He challenged authority to the point that they were afraid that his challenge would affect societal order, and their authority would be diminished.
He wasn't persecuted for being a "good dude".

There’s almost always something someone can do. It’s more of a question of how much discomfort one is willing to experience to do it.
I’ve been working the back channels HARD to visit my student in jail and I’m hitting barrier after barrier. It’s extremely frustrating. But I would really appreciate if someone soldiered on to get to me if I were in his position. It’s not fair. Still not giving up but running out of ideas.

But what’s the benefit of calling a stranger an insult on the internet? I understand the no consequence part, but what’s the point?

If you’re going to accuse me of that at least acknowledge that I do it in fewer than 50 words. You do it in 300-500 words.

I don't mischaracterize anything, and you can't copy and paste anything to the contrary.
Like I said, you are the most dishonest poster here, and thanks for proving my point with another deliberate lie.
As for still having an attention span in 2026 when so many do not (including yourself, apparently), guilty.

Verbosity demonstrates confusion. Brevity demonstrates clarity.
I don’t mistake long-winded rambling for substance (or an attention span).

I guess I’m trying to understand whether you see natural rights as something that actually operates in the world, or more as a standard we appeal to, even when reality doesn’t reflect it.
Your statement that it seems that, functionally, rights and morals are merely societal constructs of those with the power to create and enforce them, denies both the truth God has revealed about our rights and His moral standard, and denies that justice for violation of those rights and morals will be meted out after our deaths by a just God.

If this were true, we would not have to teach right from wrong.
Heck, we wouldn't even have this topic, we would all instinctually know. But of course, we do not.

A Christian who never had kids? Seems that neither of you have since you seem to think we do not have to teach them right from wrong. Maybe you don't remember. Most of us here are grandparents after all.

You do realize you are included in said jerk off correct.
God would be proud of your pride BTW.

Ok, I can get behind this.

This gets murky for me.

I believe God can enact justice after our deaths. I question whether or not humans can achieve justice with our complicated and flawed systems.

Do we, though? We don't teach feelings of guilt.
ETA: I actually had this conversation with a high schooler at catechism yesterday. We read the passage of Jesus saying to bring the children to him and I asked why it would be easier for kids to enter heaven than adults. He said that kids haven't been taught about all the atrocities in the world yet, so they are still innocent. I asked if kids are taught about bad things or if they just start noticing bad things because of developmental changes/maturing. He said both probably happen concurrently.
