He doesn't call himself God until the gospel of John which was written later than the others. Pretty sure the historical Jesus wouldn't be claiming to be God at all. That's just something that happens with religions over time.

He would also be saying it in Aramaic as an illiterate builder (stone worker being more likely than carpenter but the Greek word translates generically).

And there were a lot of early groups (Marcion and all the groups we call Gnostic) who took Jesus' teachings to mean God from the Old Testament was an evil demiurge God and Jesus' teachings were to overcome the material world.

With how Christian teachings have coalesced into the Trinity etc it would be really interesting to hear what the historical man himself was actually saying.

The Democrats in question would likely say they're upset progressives are getting mad at Democrats as if they have the power to pass bills or do much of anything. Yelling "do something" isn't helping when your party doesn't have any power.

Ironically the most power Democrats have is thanks to the filibuster, which Progressives campaigned against for years.

Tariffs too. It's just a bit of "short term pain"...meaning, for about 4 years until someone comes in and reverses the horrible policies.

I spent his first 4 years hyper tuned in and stressing, and I called 0 Senators, wrote 0 letters, made 0 impact. THAT is the wrong call.

Either stop paying attention or take the time to actually contribute to the political process. Call your local political party and ask what you can do.

Extremely true. We are "customer obsessed" which is why thousands of users having an annoying screen popping up confusing them is prioritized below one lady who knows the CEO being unable to do an incredibly niche thing that we never said you could do on our platform.

My understanding is that anal and oral are "wrong" in the same way masturbation is, it's spilling your seed outside of sex for procreation.

But like, clearly a tier better than premarital sex so...

He has never won as the incumbent.

This one won't happen though. It doesn't have the votes. It would require a Constitutional amendment, and thus a LOT of Democrats on board.

You can't freak out about every possible thing.
