A few headlines from a week and a half in America. These aren't all the headlines either, more happened in this time frame. Disgusting.
I could not finish the book as it was so outlandish. Incredibly disturbing.
The show was terrific. Andrew Garfield was very good in it.

It looked very good. The book was hard to take. It is unbelievable how these folks operated outside the law. Upper Northwest and into Canada. Basically guys getting breeding their own girls to have sex with…and collecting enormous welfare checks.

I take these are in response to the comments on another thread regarding the "darkness" that "Biden and liberals" are leading us towards, specifically "sexual immorality" condemned by "Judeo-Christian ethics"?
This is indeed the right thread if that's the topic.

Following up on a few rabbit trails that developed under the 2024 topic a couple few days ago...
We know Jesus walked the earth. We have what he said preserved in the four gospels. He affirmed the stories of Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, the Flood, Lot, Sodom and Gomorrah, and many other stories and figures of the Old Testament.
The Bible is a remarkably preserved and reliable historical and archaeological document. There is a science to verifying and authenticating ancient manuscripts. When were they written? How long a period between the time they were written and the first fragments/copies appeared? How many fragments/copies do we now have? How many discrepancies occur in comparing the fragments/copies? In all this criteria, the 66 books/letters that make up the Bible are THE most reliable ancient manuscripts in history. None of the others come close to measuring up to them. If we question the reliability of the books of the Bible under the established and accepted criteria for verifying ancient manuscripts, then all ancient manuscripts fail miserably.
The Old Testament is stunning in its many fulfilled prophecies, including minute details about the life, method of execution and resurrection of Christ hundreds of years before he was born. Not to mention the reforming of the State of Israel after thousands of years of exile.
Jesus spoke about sexual immorality (from the Greek word porneia, translated as fornication in old English King James). But what was he referencing? He knew what the Law (first five books of the Old Testament) said about it. Paul also affirmed what the Law said about sexual immorality.
Apologists against the value/truthfulness/reliability of the Scriptures (literally: the Writings) have been around for centuries. But let those with (credit to Kellyanne Conway for the phrase) alternative facts have at it.

We “know” Jesus walked the Earth, or some believe so. Ever study epistomology?

We most positively and certainly do. The gospels are, all four of them, accurate historical documents.
