(volume warning)
5 days late but wanted to talk about this. It absolutely blows my mind that anyone would support this. This has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans or any political party. No matter what side you're on this should either scare you or make you mad. This is literally taking away free speech.

The relationship between David and Jonathan, as depicted in the Old Testament, is often interpreted as a powerful example of friendship, but some contemporary interpretations suggest a deeper, potentially romantic, connection, leading to the idea of them being gay or homosexual. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here's a more detailed look: [2, 3, 5]
• Biblical Context: The story of David and Jonathan is found in the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, where they form a close bond and covenant, with Jonathan showing great affection and loyalty to David, even risking his own position to protect him. [2, 3, 5]
• Modern Interpretations: Some interpretations of the text, particularly in light of modern understanding of LGBTQ+ relationships, suggest that the depth of their connection could be interpreted as something beyond platonic friendship, leading to the idea of them being gay or homosexual. [1, 2, 3]
• Examples of Interpretation: [3]
• "David loved Jonathan more than women" (2 Samuel 1:26): This phrase is often cited as evidence of a strong, potentially romantic, connection between the two men. [3]
• Covenants and Rituals: The covenants and rituals they shared, such as Jonathan stripping off his robe and giving it to David, are seen by some as symbols of a deeper bond. [2, 3, 5]
• Biblical Scholars: Some biblical scholars, such as Susan Ackerman and Jean-Fabrice Nardelli, have argued that the narrators of the books of Samuel may have encrypted same-sex allusions in the text, suggesting a romantic relationship between David and Jonathan. [2]
• Counterarguments: Others argue that the relationship was simply a strong example of male bonding and loyalty, common in ancient cultures, and that it should not be interpreted as a romantic or sexual relationship. [1, 4]
• Contemporary LGBTQ+ Christians: Some contemporary LGBTQ+ Christians see David and Jonathan as positive examples of same-sex love and covenant, using their story to counter those who claim the Bible condemns homosexuality. [3]
• David's other relationships: The Hebrew scriptures also recount how David committed adultery with Bathsheba and later made her one of his eight wives, which is seen by some as evidence that David was not homosexual. [3]
• Jonathan's other relationships: Jonathan also had a wife, which is seen by some as evidence that Jonathan was not homosexual. [3]

quotes from the bhagavad gita that remind me of shifting
i began reading the gita this evening, to be more in touch with my hindu roots. as i got deeper into it, i realized there's so many sayings there that can be associated with shifting and quantum immortality. here's a few i found so far: 🦋 our very existence is in the atmosphere of nonexistence. actually we are not meant to be threatened by nonexistence. our existence is eternal. but somehow we are put into asat. asat refers to that which does not exist 🪷 what is this consciousness? the consciousness is i am. then what am i? in contaminated consciousness, i am means i am the lord of all i survey. i am the enjoyer. the world revolves because every living being thinks he is the lord and creator of the material world
🦚 in the Gita it is stated that the living entity has neither birth nor death. in the Gita it is stated that the living entity is never born and he never dies. he is eternal and indestructible, and he continues to live after the destruction of his temporary material body 🕯️ as a person casts off worn-out garments and puts on new ones, so the embodied soul casts off worn-out bodies and enters into others that are new 🌙 know that this body is but a field for the soul, and the knower is distinct from it i will post more soon :)
