Out-groups and berhaviors, stemming from joking about rape

According to the bible, pretty much everyone alive today is a god.

Huh?

Not until OneBrow explains the bible for me. Here I thought literature could be taken so many ways. Not to mention the definition of the word god. Glad he's here to show we are all wrong.

You just might have the sort of ego that allows you to think other people have problems you don't share. I'm not nearly that arrogant. The more I learn about myself, the less I think of myself.

Hahaha.

 

[One Brow]

So if I call you arrogant I'm arrogant for doing so,

No. I'll try again.

It seems that you feel that if said what you think I'm saying, that would indicate arrogance on your part.

See the difference?

but if you call me arrogant that has no reflection on whether or not you are arrogant?

Did I? Even if you take what I said literally, I said you might have a certain level of ego, but that means I'm aware you might not, as well. I also said that if you did have the sort of ego that makes you think you are above the sort of problems pervasive to the human condition, that would be arrogant. Do you disagree with the second sentence? Do you think you've offered any conclusive evidence one way or the other on the first?

Of course, that puts aside the context of the my post, where I was responding to your "fixing" a statement I wrote inclusively to say I was better than others. Maybe where you come from, people don't ever offer counterfactuals in advance of a statement as irony, but it's not atypical around here.

Huh?

Well, most people in the US, anyhow. We have lives that the elders of Jerusalem, back around 400 BC, would envy.

Why would I think that was wrong?

That does not address why you said the bible said we are gods. Only that we live privileged lives.

Psalm 82, and the interpretation was confirmed in John 10:33ff.

 

[One Brow]

Hahaha.

What's really arrogant is to think of yourself as so superhuman that you don't have biases.

I almost forgot how well you dance.

Did I? Even if you take what I said literally, I said you are a d-bag. I also said that you can't help yourself but to point out the flaws of others and berate them for it. Face it, you are arrogant.
