Yeah, it is generally deployed by people who want to assign a spirit to those who support abortion. Which is of course an ad hominem attack.

Wait, a church that engages in political campaigning? Have you reported them for tax fraud?

It may seem weird, but projection is a very common defense mechanism for authoritarian groups, and for cults.

Is the dump called Gehenna by any chance?

@@OrdoMallius Well climate wise, I imagine you'd prefer that to the rest of Sweden, eh René?

You assume it's the same language.

Depends, is the company next to a high school?

It was their last decent album, though. After Metallica went to therapy, it was all over. 😂

@@lde-m8688 Fantastic album, but ruined by the insane choice of turning Jason so low in the mix that it sounds like it’s recorded in a tin can

I really commend Dan for his words. Because, AJFA is my favorite album of all time.

@crow-dont-know I won't deny that, but still remain their last good album. I went to see them on this tour in 1989. Just showed my age their. It was a great concert. The Cult opened for them. I still remember when Cliff passed on. It was 1987 or 88...I was a sophomore in high school.

Who is doubting that there was child sacrifice in the ancient world?

According to midrash, Isaac was an adult at the time.

All hail Malacath! Orc-father! Prince of Pariahs, patron of the spurned, god of the sacred oath and bloody curse!

@@chameleonx9253 Oh wait... _two_ Daedric Princes. I was thinking of Molag Bal, lol.

@@tarvoc746 Oh. Yeah, the goblins worship a god that is literally called "Moloch," which is an aspect of Malacath.

Eager or willing?

@@MarcosElMalo2 Perhaps both.

​@@MarcosElMalo2eager. The command is only to offer him up and not "sacrifice"

​@@tbishop4961 One is the other. Offering is simply the act of sacrifice.

Did you mean Kirchnerism? I have no idea what you are referring to.

Their problem isn’t lack of thinking…it’s an over-active imagination and hyper-parallelomania.

@@hardwork8395 Thank you! I didn't know there was a word for that.

@@hardwork8395The first rule of Dunning-Krueger Club is you don’t know you’re in Dunning-Krueger Club. I’m not sure if this really applies, but I saw it yesterday and I’m trying it out. And for the record, I’m probably in the club because I don’t know I’m in the club.

Levantine folk metal. I'm down. :D

It is very common among the more fundamentalist sects.

Reminds me of modern Christians who insist that Christianity was always against slavery.

Jeremiah is just some other author writing some other book selling revisionist history. It doesn't change what was originally written.

If they were not doing child sacrifice there would not be any reason to write this up date. But look at all the other things people believe and they don’t care that there isn’t any evidence to support it. “A collection of hand copied extremely old literature” rewritten more than once. Or God wanted it written a certain way. If you go down that road you now have to do what no one has ever accomplished ? You figure it out and claims and assertions won’t be sufficient. Just letting you know in advance that there will be a test.

From what I understand, this is actually evidence for the practice being present. After all, the above passage doesn’t mention what deity they are being sacrificed to, so it could be assumed that they are being sacrificed to YHWH, but that the author doesn’t approve and doesn’t believe he would command such a thing.

"...something I did not command..." and something he was going to punish 🤔

Yeah, I think he just misremembered the number.

"Real god"? How do you test for real gods? Is there a protocol? What are the safeguards against the gods knowing they're being tested for? Or are you thinking you have to interview strangers on the bus to find one? Heavens to St. Theresa.

@@lysanamcmillan7972 If I see Ishtar standing over me at 3AM, she’s real, otherwise just another wet dream😎

Oh, look, an apologist for the nothing side of all-or-nothing religion. Binarism was only saved from obscurity by Thomas Aquinas because he had a metaphorical hard-on for Aristotelianism. Happy to reject any possibility the answer to "is there a god" is other than yes or no? Thank a Roman Catholic.

@@lysanamcmillan7972 Things either exist or they do not. Unless you want to get into a discussion about quantum particles or something. I am not claiming omniscience, but generally, we wind our way through life on the basis of what can be demonstrated. I can't prove or disprove that any god exists. Unicorns may exist, and perhaps I can't see them. But I will take a punt and presume that they don't exist until I see a demonstration to the contrary. That is called "working knowledge". Working knowledge, is by necessity, "binary" as you call it. For example. Is my dog alive? If he is dead, I will bury him, and remember him with fond memories. If he is alive, I feed him, groom him, bath him, play ball with him, walk him, take him to the vet when he needs it. Love him. If you want to go full solipsistic, neither I nor the dog exists. So yes, I can ponder about virtual photons, because that is part of the explanatory behavior concerning observed quantum phenomena. it is a model. We model our world, hopefully to track reality. Like when I "imagine" buses in the street. I have this weird notion that if I run into one, it might be a really bad day for me. But I have an open mind. DEMONSTRATE god to me, any god.

Pretty sure he meant verse 29.

@@lavieestlenfer OK, that makes more sense. I should have seen that. Problem though: that word translated as 'give' isn't used anywhere else in scripture to mean 'sacrifice'. It's not even saying sacrifice of your first fruits. It means something more like 'dedicate'. You might also notice elsewhere, when scripture talks about sacrifices, it lays out very specific instructions for how the sacrifice is to be performed; it never just says anything like 'give' without detailed rules for it. Dan's premise, and the so-called consensus, is just plain wrong. And worse, I have no doubt Dan is fully aware that what I just said is true.

​@@user-pm3mw8xw8d After watching Dan for some time, I have agree with you.

The giving of first fruits to the lord can be seen in two ways. If being a farmer, you can either slaughter the animal, or you can set it free for the lord to take care of himself. In other words let nature take its course. Most descendants of kain that are in the game for profittering will slaughter the animal as a pious show of giving. "look at me i sacrifice to god" type of affait thus absolving himself of any guilt he may feel in the eyes of others. Its a con and as many fell for the trick, christ comes along and without pointing out its a con, changes the covenant to be more inline without it being able to be usurped.. Meat torn by beasts, is indicating of the first born be taken from the mother by a farmer that is not serving the lord and in doing so is acting like a beast. Decendants of kain are beasts. The meat is for the dogs that they are.

@@infiniti28160 Translation; Here are my two baseless made up reasons, the giving of first fruits to the lord can be seen as.

Sounds like something you just made up, tbh. That's like saying tomato was derived from potato -- and then making up a reason for it.

@@schen7913 Maybe words are created from a source you still havent understood, like disaster, meaning to dismis the signs in heaven or compassion derived from compass and its related useage of a 360 degree viewpointer. As for tomato and potato, Solanum might help you find the link.

@@infiniti28160Just the same, it would be cool if you cited your sources. If your ideas are divinely inspired, I guess that’s your source.

@@MarcosElMalo2 Sources huh, read Job 38:33 . Do you think the God of the scriptures would leave mankind without being able to understand his laws? The verses surrounding this one would reveal an understanding not within the main body of the scriptural text, and the understanding found within such construct, will explain alot of the text, both the OT and NT, that seems perplexing to most people that havent done their due diligence. Its up to the reader to search for what is behind the scriptures themselves instead of shadow boxing. Divining for a stream of water hidden from human eyes, yes divinity is such. The divining rod uses two stems merging into one. "If thine eye be single, thy body will be full of light"

​@@infiniti28160Jeremiah 20:24-27! It is clear that this is a human sacrifice religion. Also from the story of Jepta. You are defending it because you are a brainwashed churchgoer.
