Sady Doyle of Tiger Beatdown fame has a great piece up at In These Times on the ways in which the Internet has helped to highlight virulent and violent misogyny — and inspire effective feminist pushback. It’s actually kind of … inspiring? (That’s a word I don’t use often!) Here’s the opening:
When a history of 21st-century feminist activism is someday written, 2011 may be labeled Year Rape Broke. Sexual assault and harassment have, of course, always been key feminist concerns. But in 2011, sexual violence, exploitation, or intimidation were part of nearly every major story that fell under the heading of “women’s issues”–and the activism against it has been particularly widespread, focused and effective.
As we enter this renaissance of sexual assault awareness, it’s worth considering the ways in which new media has informed it–and, indeed, perhaps even made it possible. …
You can read the rest on the In These Times website.
Full disclosure: I worked at ITT for a couple of years in the 90s (yes, I’m old), and Sady says some nice things about Man Boobz in the piece.
I thought Jesus was never mentioned in the Talmud…
Also, will you admit that at least one of the quotes you quoted doesn’t exist?
But my quotes are nice things! It’s only one quote too. Maybe you should actually read it?
Agree or disagree?
Why is that a difficult question?
It should be the easiest possible question. This ain’t high-level ethical debate here.
@Holly Pervocracy
And you can’t so neither will I.
Schabouth Hag. 6b: “Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording.
You say you believe in that but it is your duty to swear falsely.
—————-
Zohar 1,160a: “Jews must always try to deceive Christians.”
You must try and decieve me so I assume this is a deception?
—————
I’ve asked you to stop pulling quotes.
Can you stop?
NWO – That quote SORT of exists, but is not about Jesus. It is about BALAAM. From the Old Testament. With the talking donkey.
Yes, it IS about Balaam fucking that talking donkey.
SO I THINK YOU SHOULD INSULT ATHEISTS NOW. JUST TO BE FAIR.
Yes! I offer this Onion headline to the cause:
“Jesus Christ Claims Tim Tebow Not Ready To Be NFL Starter”
Of course, that actually doesn’t mock Jesus so much as it mocks American culture, but NWO doesn’t make such distinctions.
And I ask you, can the Talmud be bad, if it talks about talking donkey fucking?
WHAT IS TALMUD?
—————-
Zohar 1,160a: “Jews must always try to deceive Christians.”
You must try and decieve me so I assume this is a deception?
NWO – THAT QUOTE DOES NOT EXIST. THE ZOHAR IS NOT NUMBERED, FIRST OF ALL, SO 1160a IS JUST PURE BULLSHIT, BUT THE QUOTE IS NOT IN IT.
ALSO THE ZOHAR IS NOT THE TALMUD.
BUT REGARDLESS THE QUOTE IT DOESN’T EXIST.
LITERALLY.
NOT EXISTANT.
i am not jewish, so I AM NOT DECIEVING YOU ABOUT THE DECEIT QUOTE!
Do I have to pull some quotes to get attention over here?
Deut. 15:7. If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks.
Deut. 26:12. When you have finished paying the complete tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan and the widow, that they may eat in your towns, and be satisfied.
Lev. 19:19. Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the LORD your God.
Prov. 31:8. [Commandment to kings.] Open your mouth for the dumb, for the rights of all the unfortunate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.
Is. 58:66. Is this not the fast which I choose, to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and break every yoke? Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into the house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Jer. 22:3. Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
Luke 12:33. “Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves purses which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near, nor moth destroys.”
Luke 3:11. And [John the Baptist] would answer and say to them, “Let the man with two tunics share with him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise.”
Mt. 5:42. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
I disagree that Jews should lie. I think that is wrong. I am not afraid to say so.
Why are you afraid to give an opinion on this?
You’re afraid to agree (or disagree, I wouldn’t hold it against you, at least you’d be honest) with Jesus?
NWO, you’ve had several requests to start talking about atheists. Now I appreciate we suffer a lack of holy books with which the KKK can quotemine from but surely there’s something in that little noggin of yours.
NWO, are you afraid that if you go to the source and check the quotes and quote them directly from the source you’ll… Get infected or something?
WHAT IS TALMUD?
I HAS TALMUD ON MY KINDLE. TALMUD IS NOT HARD TO FIND.
He can always quotemine Darwin and other scientists. NWOslave is a good creationist, after all.
also, ffs I think logical structure = god. Also/or not god. Can’t you take a shot at me? I’m pretty fucking weird over here.
@Holly Pervocracy
And it continue’s.
Why must you decieve me by your own law?
Since it is your law how can I believe anything you say?
Why must you use subterfuge wording?
How can I believe anything you say?
Are you remembering the oath which exempts you from all sins for the upcoming year?
Who could believe a word when the very sins you commit are pre-forgiven for the year?
————-
Can you stop?
Oh, sure he could go through the evolution route, but I really want him to explain how to be a good atheist like he was attempting with the Talmud stuff.
What’s deceptive about asking you if you agree with Jesus?
How is that question–which you are free to answer with a yes, no, a long explanation, or any way you like–a lie?
Are you remembering the oath which exempts you from all sins for the upcoming year?
Who could believe a word when the very sins you commit are pre-forgiven for the year?
……….
Wow, it’s almost like Jesus saying your sins are forgiven, forever, out of love and…
OH, silly me, Of course not. Jesus would never have meant that in a JEWISH way.
NWO said:
“All I ask is that you stop pulling quotes otherwise I will as well. Can you stop?”
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA…. I love this bastard. I’m getting my christian and christmas celebrating friends NWOs for christmas, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
NWO, I thought your battle was against the mockery of Christianity, not the quoting of it? And if you’re looking to try and win this battle, might I suggest actually quoting the Talmud, rather than paraphrasing (quite badly according to people of multiple faiths).
@Holly Pervocracy
Can you stop?
So, NWO, if Jesus has forgiven all your sins, how can we trust you?
Prov. 29:7. The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor; the wicked does not understand such concern.
1 John 3:17. But whoever has the world’s goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Luke 6:33. “And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, in order to receive back the same.”
2 Cor 9:7. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
Mt. 6:2-4. “When therefore you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.”
Mt. 6:24. “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money.”
1 Tim. 6:10. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang.
Gal. 2:9ff. Recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John… gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. They only asked us to remember the poor– the very thing I also was eager to do.
Lev. 19:15. “You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly.”
Acts 2:44. All those who had believed were together, and had all things in common; and they began to sell their property and possessions, and share them with all, as anyone might have need.
Acts 4:32-35. And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them. And with great power the apostles were giving witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles’ feet; and they would be distributed to each, as any had need.
Eph. 4:28. Let him who steals steal no longer; but rather let him labor, performing with his own hands what is good, in order that he may have something to share with him who has need.
SEE I AM QUOTING ALL THE BIBLE
TELL ME HOW TO BE A GOOD ATHEIST NWO
Holly really shouldn’t stop by any Christian argument, she’s doing a great job making the faith look good… to everybody but… Apparently you?
