  • A lot of the “nonsensical” comes from translation issues.

    You’re not a Hebrew farmer living in the middle east 2000 years ago, and the parable has been translated from ancient Hebrew to Greek, then to Latin, then finally into English.

    The same goes for buddhist parables

    I’ve read that some of these parables originally had clever word play.






  • I don’t see the radical feminism in any of her writings.

    I see enforcement of the Status Quo.

    Fuck, Harry’s main goal in life is to be a cop.

    Her entire message is as follows, there’s nothing wrong with the system, just the wrong people are in charge.

    Also, if you remember the culture of the mid to late 90s, it’s exactly the sort of shit that Rowling is in love with. A sort of romanticized version of the 90s, just like most conservatives want a romanticized version of the 1950s.


  • Rowling doesn’t believe that trans people are people.

    She mostly seems to believe in the Status Quo. Specifically the Status Quo of the mid to late 90s.

    She seems to view any deviation from the status quo as evil, even attempts to make the world a better place, because she doesn’t want the world to be better, she wants it to remain the same.

    She’s just as much an enemy of progress as the average conservative.


  • The “refuses to elaborate” is simple, Mathew 25 31-46.

    It quite clearly says that you are to welcome the immigrant, feed the poor, care for the sick, and visit the prisoners.

    Failure to do any of that is a straight shot to hell, no matter how much you claim to love god, you actually have to do the work, or it’s off to hell.

    Fun fact, Mathew 25 is the only place in the bible that references sending ordinary people to hell. All that fire and brimstone, it’s actually in that one passage. Nowhere else does hell show up for normal people, just fallen angles and shit.
