Congrats on learning Portuguese! Even though I studied Spanish in school, I look at Portuguese and Italian and they look so much more difficult to me.

Imma stop you right there. The human male body is designed for anal sex. The prostate is situated in an area that is stimulated when the anus is penetrated, giving pleasure. Without that design, it would just hurt.

That’s true. Thank you for pointing that out. Apparently, Jesus just got into a snit about a marketplace at the temple and the context is made up to justify the tantrum and phrase “den of robbers/thieves.” Fascinating.

And the article goes on to say why the story isn’t intrinsically antisemitic. After all, all of the principal characters are Jews living in a Jewish world.

Thank you for sharing this article—I love stuff like this. But, the first paragraph of the article documents where this is in the Christian Bible. And, antisemites will find and “interpret” anything in a way to justify their antisemitism. No matter that the story isn’t intrinsically antisemitic.

I’m not Christian, so I only know what I’ve been given as an impression, which was they were exploiting the people by charging exorbitant rates for their services. My point is that the oligarchs have taken over our government, being supported by Christian Nationalists—where is the opposition?

Good morning, Shea!

Morning, sunshine!
