ComicsI mean, if we go back to evolution for just a moment, there is evidence that homosexuality aided survival rates: https://britbrief.co.uk/health/research/homosexuality-evolved-as-survival-strategy-in-primates.html
So, the cum button may have actually come about through evolutionary pressure...
If God hates homosexuality so much, why did he make gay sex feel so good?
something about resisting temptation
the Bible is gay. look at David and Jonathan's and tell me there's a heterosexual explanation for them.
Not disputing the homoeroticism of the bible but to my admittedly limited understanding, their friendship was probably largely retconned and most of that story is likely because David killed Saul and all his family, including Jonathan, in a coup, after siding with the enemies of the Israelites.
Certainly the story of David is rife with propaganda about how David totally could have killed Saul if he wanted to. It’s because he probably did kill him.
For that matter, Solomon was probably not David’s son but killed him in a coup and the story of David and Bathsheba is to legitimize his reign.
I’m just a layman who reads about this a lot but hasn’t mastered it so I welcome any correction from folks who are closer to it.
"the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself."
"Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David,"
"Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women."
that ain't homoeroticism, a bit more obvious and and it might as well be gay smut.
I’m just a layman who reads about this
Well that's already more than most christians can say
That tracks with my experience being home schooled K-12 by young earth evangelical creationists. I didn’t start learning anything about the bible until I was in the process of deconstructing just in the last 5 years.
Christians in general, but Vangies in particular, generally read the bible like a cook book.
It's like burying fake fossils to test our faith. God is an asshole.
Hank Green recently did an Ask Hank Anything video where he talks about how humans have the dirtiest butts in the animal kingdom.
And it's because of those glorious cheeks. That and the fact that were omnivores which means inconsistent textures.
Probably much less to do with being omnivores (which almost all animals are) and more to do with our unnatural diet of grain and processed food
No, not all animals are omnivores. You have carnivores and herbivores. Sure most animals can sometimes eat both, very few actually do.
This inconsistent diet plays hell with the digestive system.
Grain isn't unnatural. Humans have been surviving predominantly on grains for thousands of years. And seeds of every type have been part of our diet since before we were humans.
But the highly processed food does make things worse. Most is high in sugars and fats and low in fiber.
Sure most animals can sometimes eat both, very few actually do.
This is incorrect. Nearly all animals that we have labelled as "herbivores" will eat meat opportunistically. Nearly all carnivores, including obligate carnivores, exhibit plant-eating behaviors and plant material is regularly found in their scat.
Humans have been surviving predominantly on grains for thousands of year
Not only is the grain we eat unnaturally changed by humans through selective breeding to the point that it is unrecognizable compared to wild varieties, but thousands of years is basically a blink of an eye in evolutionary timescales. No, eating processed grains is extremely unnatural. There are literally no other primates that eat grain.
EDIT: you can downvote me but it does not change facts or reality
Yes, yes, I've seen deer eat mice when they can. They normally don't get that opportunity, thus opportunistic meat eaters, but they're still herbivores, their diet is still 99% plant matter.
Lactose tolerance is newer than humans relying on grain for 95% of their daily caloric intake. Which means that the time scales do matter. We domesticated grains and then those of us who were best able to survive on grains lived while those who couldn't do it died.
You talk about facts and reality, but you seem to be intent on twisting both to fit a narrative of "grains bad".
You talk about facts and reality, but you seem to be intent on twisting both to fit a narrative of "grains bad".
I've only represented our diet of grain as unnatural, which is correct. You are projecting an argument of "unnatural = bad" onto me, which I have never claimed.
The facts are not a twisted narrative, they are plainly facts. You obviously cannot refute them (no one can), so now you construct a strawman.
I'm saying that "unnatural" is wrong and meaningless.
Humans were eating wild sorghum at least a hundred thousand years ago based on stone tools found in Mozambique.
We were actively sowing fields between 10 and 20 thousand years ago.
Sure we domesticated wheat, but what makes you think we didn't domestic ourselves as well?
You might as well say that cooked food is unnatural.
Your argument of semantics is irrelevant to and a distraction from the fact that nearly all animals eat both plants and meat.
You being completely wrong also does not change reality.
Facts agree with me.
No, not all animals are omnivores. You have carnivores and herbivores. Sure most animals can sometimes eat both, very few actually do.
They said most animals, not all.
Only in the guys though. The girls get a front cum button
Prostates aren't real.
Says the cum fart
That just means you haven't tried hard enough
How can prostates be real if our butts aren't real?
