QuoteBut if we were to play that game I'd say odds are good the Palestinians have far more in common with the people of the region 2 millenia ago than most Jewish people do.
Quote from: Barrister on Today at 11:51:18 AMSo on today's campuses one of the big pushes is for "de-colonization" - to return the land to the original inhabitants.
But isn't that exactly what Zionism is trying to do?

The number of people saying you have to play that game too...
It seems to be about the only site for getting professional level jobs these days though. Outside of some industries with their own specific sites anyway.
I should say the people I mainly see doing the whole LinkedIn influencer thing are recruiters.

Being on the same side of the country as the gulags probably wasn't a good PR move.
Quote from: Barrister on Today at 04:03:41 PMYeah, I don't think that's accurate. The Baptists are evangelical. You have Charismatics who get lumped into Evangelicals but are sort of distrusted on account they are sorta crazy.Quote from: HVC on Today at 03:41:46 PMQuote from: Barrister on Today at 11:33:51 AMQuote from: Grey Fox on Today at 09:19:41 AMand yet, that's where they belong. There's only 2 categories with a simple yes no question at the start; Pope?
Orthodox say "hi!".
Beyond that - because "Protestantism" is still the largest faith group in North America pretty handily, it's worthwhile to break it down a little bit more.
I mean, you can subcategorize different kinds of being wrong, but you're still in the wrong group, as opposed to the right one
*Edit* In my raised catholic mind there's 4 groups
Right (catholic)
Misguided (orthodox and Coptic)
Wrong (protestants)
Christianity adjacent (mormons, JW)
But there's a world of difference between "mainline" protestant churches, and evangelical churches.
Mainline churches - think methodist, Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian - all have a set structure, set belief system, and a national or international organization.
"Evangelical" churches have none of that. It's usually a preacher and a building. There's no set structure, the preacher has no one to report to, nothing like that. It gives evangelical churches a ton of ability to change and adapt to local congregations - but not so much protection from "incorrect beliefs", or even abuse within the church.
