I have 2 pairs of hoses, one from amazon and a cotton one from usakilts, both causes my legs to itch (to be fair other socks do this too), is there any sock material that wouldn't cause my legs to itch? Also, what other socks besides kilt hoes can one wear in non-formal settings, I like to experiment with the kilt but don't want to disrespect the heritage of the wardrobe.
I am back for another question. I have 2 causal kilts from USAkilts (which I enjoy a lot), but I was thinking of upgrading to a semi tradition, anyone here have experience with them and how they compare to their casual model?
Was thinking about getting a causal kilt from USAkilt that is not specifically tailored for me. Now my waist is around 30 inches, and my hips are around 31.5 inches, the option for a 30 waist has the hips at 34 would that be a problem, should I go lower for the hips?
jesusandwhatnot just released a video talking about how dancing is mostly sinful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyawyKNrVnI
I thought dancing that incites lust was sinful not that dancing was sinful
Are church moral theologians really against all dancing?
I'm confused because David danced before the lord and the psalms mention dancing, so how can dancing be mostly sinful?
Most biblical scholars see Moses as a legendary figure and the Exodus as a fictional account to explain the origin of the nation of Israel. Are there any good historical argument for the historicity of Moses and the Exodus.
Was on a gaming subreddit and a comment mentioned that Christians live in delusion and not demonstrable reality, they are pure ideology and a cult. This makes me wonder why so many see religion as fairy tales and that science has enlightened us. The way people talk about science is very unscientific, they say I believe in science, or the science shows this or that. But science is methodology to discover certain things, but it can't for everything, yet people treat it like a one size fits all.
There must a philosophy underpinning this, yet philosophy is considered archaic and worthless today by even many in academic. Obviously, some of this is scientism but I feel there is something even deeper that helps propagate scientism in society from the academic elites to the poor.
Is God's character based on the holy book, if so, why is there tension between Old Testament Yahweh and Jesus, note I did not say contradiction but there is struggle in reading the old testament for christians today. Here are a few examples the Israelites committing genocide, rape, and inhumane slavery in the name of God and want seems to be commanded by God. In Joshua a whole family is killed because of the father's sin, this seems to go against the notion of God not punishing the child for the sins of the father found in Ezekiel. God allows slavery yet is vocal against child sacrifice why?
The old Testament morality seems more based on an eye for eye framework then on loving even thy enemies that Jesus preached. Many people will see passages of God commanding rape and genocide as allegorical rather than literal while others will say God can do whatever he wants and it be morally good.
Do we determine God's character from philosophy? But it seems to mean that you can only go as far as making God detach, yes, you can say God is all good or all merciful but is far from an interpersonal relationship that Jesus showed. For example, you can give a list to a murderer on how to be good but doesn't mean you like them or want a relationship with them. To me philosophy can only get to an impersonal god who in vague sense wishes good on you not a god who desires and wants you and likes you.
It seems we start with a concept of God and impose that on the bible and philosophy yet reading the bible we see different ideas of God emerge and evolve overtime. I struggle to see how God could love and want a loser and freak like me, so I wanted to know how we determine what God is like since I see inconsistency between Christian, Jews, even the different books of the Old Testament and while the New Testament is far more consistent in a Moral framework there still issues modern Christians differ on with ancient christains on for example slavery in the new testament.
We have never observed anything being uncaused, so couldn't the opponent say that there are infinite causes, we experience cause and effect, couldn't there be an infinite chain of cause and effect? If there is an infinite cause and effect, God isn't required and thus not necessary for existence.
Thank you for any response.
