(The point is that masculinity is a category, and a category where many people disagree on what goes into it. But God isn't in a category like "gods" or "masculine" God is I AM)

There's no reason for anon accounts to make any claims about courage, strength, or worthiness.

@annielcrawford (apologies for tone fail, my friend!) Yes, sometimes I'll say that, sure, theoretically, a piece of technology could be thought of as *morally* neutral. But because technology is always tied to creators, users, and contexts, it's never functionally neutral.

@KitKristofer That's another good one. Overall, I think geopolitics and the modern world need more than one parable or principle. We can't proof text our way on this, but in an age of sound and reactions, that's often all we get.

@annielcrawford I'm kinda just messing around :) But what I mean is technology never exists by itself or without reference to anything, ex nihilo. So it's like asking if squares, as circles, are neutral. Or if Colorado, if it wasn't in country, would be neutral.

@profsamperry I just re-read ch 1 of Religion for Realists where you show that adoption levels didn’t change, but group perception did. Since Trump deported fewer people per term in Obama, this make me wonder what percent of this stuff is posturing to base vs policy change with real impact.

Genesis 1 shows us 2 sexes. Genesis 2 shows us 1 marriage. Genesis 3 shows us that sin damages these in a million ways. In Matthew 19, Jesus models upholding the reality of the first two points, while compassionately recognizing the challenges of the later.

90% of life is "showing up." Starting around 2019, the other 10% became "logging in" ... using two factor authentication, face id, SMS codes, and non-functional "remember me" boxes.
