Your math is wrong, it's 0.147% not 0.0147% according to the numbers you shared.

They've all got their issues and it isn't one of the synoptic gospels but John is definitely considered authoritative by a great many Christian sects.
That being said every book in the new testament is obviously biased and attempting to build a church, just look at how many times Matthew tries to force a Jesus prophecy into random unrelated old testament scripture, it would be comical, if people weren't trying to base their lives and the lives of those around them off of it.

And you're very good at reading biblical fanfiction.

Ignoring the fact that scholars broadly agree that's it's just Jesus fanfiction and not actually original to the gospel of John, he absolutely doesn't say not to stone her, he merely implies that if we start stoning her it won't end with her. At every turn in the Bible Jesus upholds the laws of Moses with the sole exception anyone can point being a widely accepted interpolation.

Fourth, the laws of Moses are considerably more than the ten commandments and include deuteronomy and leviticus.

First, that was a later interpolation that isn't found in a single manuscript before the 5th century where it is found as a footnote. Second, he never says not to stone her only that they will also be judged for their crimes if they want to start enforcing the laws. Third, he is quoting Isaiah who implicitly endorses the laws of Moses in that same chapter when talking about sacrificial offerings at the altar.

The reason he flipped tables and started whipping people is because they ignored the laws of Moses, the same laws that say to stone gay people, maybe don't lean on an iron age mythology for morals.

Consider this, there are no composite objects, everything is made from the same thing. At all times, you are touching everything because you are not special or distinct.

As I understand it, the quarantine period isn't that long (10 days), there are just tests that are required first that need a few months in between, especially for countries with rabies, if you knew you were moving beforehand you could do that testing before you left.

They would be in less trouble if they had their dogs weight in drugs.

This is literally what the majority of Americans who cared to vote want. Democracy manifest.

Most small vehicles don't have a particularly large vertical towing capacity, the majority of the weight should be over the axle, especially on single axle trailers.

I would argue based on historical precedent that firing indiscriminately into a densely populated area would have a monstrously higher death toll, the closest equivalent I can think of for a city under siege where the attackers didn't care about civilians is the Siege of Leningrad which had a death toll of around one million and 2-3x that in illness and injury.

Sinwar was found with a UN ID in his pocket and one of his bodyguards was a school teacher at a UN school, I'm not saying there aren't war crimes happening on the IDF side but to pretend that Hamas aren't hiding amongst the general Palestinian populace is at best ignorance and at worst actively spreading terrorist propaganda.

God: If you eat that fruit you will die.
Serpent: That's not true if you eat it you will know good and evil.

Only one of the two lied.
Also if they didn't know good and evil how could they know to do the right thing?

Gods "Love" ends up with him genociding people pretty often, also the Bible calls gay people an abomination.

Also, there are some animals like cows, which would be basically extinct if we weren't using them as food.
Mostly because we've bred them to be food and they wouldn't survive particularly well in the wild but also because we would something else with the land that they're on which wouldn't include feeding unproductive wild animals.

This movie is made for people without an attention span, there is barely a plot. That being said it's one of my favourite films.

If you ignore all the slavery and praise the gods stuff in meditations it's a pretty good philosophy for life.

Especially when you consider that the largest population of Jews in Israel aren't Ashkenazi Jews (European) but are in fact Mizrahi Jews (Arab and North African) that were ethnically cleansed and forcibly removed from the countries surrounding Israel with for the most part their lands and assets seized.

Yes they've bombed schools and hospitals, they've also found combatants, war materiel, hostages and other assorted non civilian things in schools, hospitals, and refugee camps. I'm not saying the IDF aren't increasingly cavalier about civilian collateral damage but until killing civilians is the goal and not just a byproduct then it's not genocide it's war. Civilians die in every war, often at far greater rates than combatants but every war isn't genocide.

I know who funded them in the past, but they are an issue that requires dealing with now. The reason they exist is ultimately because Muslims hate Jews. I've never accused Israel of being the good guys but Hamas and Hezbollah regardless of origin are without question bad and what is happening in gaza no matter how distasteful is not genocide. It certainly has the potential to become a genocide like the UN said but it isn't currently a genocide.

Obviously I mean the allied side of ww2, there was definitely genocide from the axis and arguably the comintern.

Civilian deaths =/= genocide, there were more civilian deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, WW2 etc were they all genocides? Obviously not, did war crimes occur? Absolutely. This push to describe gaza as a genocide only cheapens the word and diminishes actual genocides like Darfur, Congo, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Cambodia. Gaza is not a genocide it's just a war and the only side that has displayed any genocidal intent is Hamas and Hezbollah.
