It antagonizes women and makes men superior. It's the same reason why Eve is made from Adam's ribs instead of the other way around.

Saying the story is a "figurative analogy" is cherrypicking. Christians say some parts of the bible are true and some are just "symbols." Either you believe it all or you believe none of it.

The essays and letters written by Paul are quite literal. Jesus' many parables are symbolic (they're stories, duh). Everything else is accepted as truth. I can't recall any exceptions. So I disagree with that statement.

/agree with Ninva.
Aside from that I have nothing to say. The Bible treats women far better than society does.
Ephesians 5:25 (NIV) said:
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

There's a lot in this if you consider the world did not want Christ's sacrifice, and relate that to where the Bible says wives submit to your husbands. The Bible has a fantastic stance on sexuality, it respects both genders for who they are.

I was addressing whoever said Adam and Eve are just an analogy. As I read it, you would disagree with him?

It is not cherry picking when you consider that many parts of the Bible must be figurative in order to be true. It logically follows from acceptance of the Bible that those parts which are absurd when taken literally, must have been intended figuratively.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to spend the time reading the other hundred translations. It may be a sin for saying so, but NIV is rather accurate.

Why must they be taken figuratively to be true? Is a woman being made from a man's rib or a man surviving in the belly of a whale really less likely than a man coming back from the dead?

And Ninva I can't fault you if you believe everything literally, I was addressing those who say some is true and some isn't. I respect your faith.

If you want to continue head over to the debate forum.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
