You got it right, but the problem is the social pressure that these people will put against you. I'm sure that Rapenis could get her to lose her soccer career, reason why Korbin had to go to such extreme lenghts of "apology". I call it being a coward, it is how most people roll nowadays

Pretty sick of women’s opinions on anything

[@russdavis71]

So she caved in to pressure instead of holding her ground and owning her actions. Sad that an opinion can get you cancelled instead of having a dialogue to discuss the issue.

[@JL-wf2wp]

Exactly. The rapino dude pretty much threatened her in that "statement" she wrote. And the other one, a coward. I would go all the way with my opinion, and if my employer is a coward and fires me because he can't take the social pressure oh well then he gets the middle finger as well

[@phattylav]

The sad thing is she probably caved because she would’ve lost her 200k a year salary playing for the US Team. It’s amazing how one player can hold hostage an entire soccer program not only as an active player but a retired one as well.

[@JL-wf2wp]

[@medhue]

Ask Rapinoe's past team mates. She is a bully. She's been washed up for years, and never was a good player at all. Just look up her stats. She should not have went to the World Cup. There are young women that can run circles around her. It was her celebrity status that kept her on the team. Something that would never happen in the men's game. Of course the younger players are happy she is gone. They were watching a dinosaur that could not keep a penalty kick below the pole. Rapino is a joke in the soccer world. The ultimate meme. This young woman is simply being bullied, and Rapino dog whistled to her few supporters.

[@medhue]

If Rapino was a good person, and a good mentor, she would not be basting her replacement publicly.

[@rafaelorona1395]

These religious debates on homosexuality and if it is right or wrong to be homosexual are extremely boring at this point and I couldn’t care less. I think the issue is to be “religious” or have any type of faith and end up being a horrible human being wishing hate to people that don’t share their beliefs, customs, traditions or way of living. So that soccer player might be a great religious person to whatever denomination she belongs, but a bad human being. That’s all.

No real linguist has done anything that this person has claimed. The Leviticus text is exceptionally clear. It was clear when it was originally written. It was clear when The Apostle Paul used it to condemn homosexuality in New Testament Greek. It was clear when scholars initially translated it to English. It is clear today.

Who wrote the Bible? Those words were inspired by who? According to who?

[@oscarbenigsen4538]

@@Geewasright According to The Apostle Matthew, The Apostle Paul, and The Prophet Moses, The Scriptures were breathed out by God. Men, inspired by Him, then made copies of the original autographs. And because the copies are so numerous (more than 5700 of The New Testament alone, all essentially saying the same things) they have permitted us to confidently access the original texts. _"It is precisely the overwhelming mass of the New Testament textual tradition which provides an assurance of certainty in establishing the original text."_ (Kurt and Barbara Aland "The Text of the New Testament" p292)

@@Geewasright Well, it is a bit more complex than this. Infallible humans in texts from 1000's of years ago, copied and translated through history more than all other texts of antiquity COMBINED, all said essentially the same thing across vast stretches of time. And what they said was so simple that any mature human anywhere, and in any period of time, could understand, test, and confirm it for himself. What they said was so profound that it reliably causes God Himself to emerge before anyone who would, in total sincerity, humble themselves to it.

Agree mostly but ‘Judeo-Christian’ is a cringe term. It’s logivally obvious that if you genuinely believe in God, and that he created man and woman as such and such to procreate, homosexuality is not ‘favored’ by God. Also this highlights the incompatibility of liberalism (in the classical sense) and any faith-based worldview.
