[@thegenderlessbeing2582]

The thing about the King David story is that VeggieTales had an episode about that story. But instead of lusting after a woman, Larry (who plays King David) covets Junior's rubber ducky. They literally replaced the woman in the story because she's no more than an object and depicting that story in any other way just isn't possible because it is so kid-unfriendly. Junior doesn't die either. He's sent to the front line of a pie war and comes back depressed and covered in pies. And Larry sees him and feels so bad about the whole thing that he returns the rubber ducky and helps Junior recover from the war. That episode was wild and tbh it wasn't until this moment I realized it was a retelling of a bible story; much less a bible story about a woman being SA'd.

[@M0ONCommander]

hmmm, I'm grappling on whether that's a tamer or more appalling depiction of the story. On one hand, perhaps that should've been the direction to go for initially. It certainly would be closer to the notion of private property, being contingent to possession for it to be private, which could thereby entail the corruption of character of possessors and those that covet it. And on that vein, brings up the notions of feminist philosophers in the objectification of women being only possible under a notion of private property. Whether one makes claims of actual possession, the historical treatment of marriage as an exchange of dowry tokens, and the confinement of child-bearing to an imperative chore for economic activity. On the other hand, it's that very gaze reduction that leads to that object conflation which so readily recognizes that the woman in the story is just a plot device. And a rubber duck of all things...

[@thegenderlessbeing2582]

@@M0ONCommander Well, I believe the rubber duck was chosen because they did keep the whole "spying on someone while they're bathing" bit. The King loved bathing with his rubber ducks and spied on Junior through a telescope while *he* was bathing with his rubber duck. Personally, I believe the original moral of the story was to not covet what isn't yours. The original story just chose a woman to be the object being covetted because it was likely the most relevant to all men of the time. And honestly, despite the original story being incredibly gross, VeggieTales did a good job adapting the story to an audience of children and, in my opinion, even improved it by making the object being covetted an actual object. The moral isn't a bad one, it's the original story that distracts a modern audience from the moral. I'm really just baffled as to why a mother would teach her children the original story instead of an adapted version, or a different story entirely.

@@serein_sun do you lik the father analogy? im wondering bc i dont find it very good. i think its the responsibility of the parent to foster a good relationship with their children. i think the parent is the one who needs to put in the effort tbh. if god is expecting his children to be the one coming to him and making an effort i think that would be a really fucked up father-child relationship. just a thought to maybe switch to a different analogy or something idk.

[@serein_sun]

@@Vickynger a parent can do all they can for the child, but if the child rebels, what more do you expect the parent to do? You can't force love, nor can you force obedience. God asks us to love him. He will never bend your free will in order to do that, but at some point he will let the world have you if you continually reject him. That's the consequence. So no, I will not change the analogy.

[@minob1no]

@@tarniatalaya4420 they rejected Him and produced nephlim with angels, and nephlim became such a problem that they were eating everyone. Would you accept this? Even God repented that He ever created man on earth, and it broke His heart. He knew this would come, but God feels in the moment. If He didn’t, He would have a cold heart. Where does our morality come from? Him, He has a heart of law and order, perfection. And these people who He killed in the flood sinned tremendously and He knew that these giants would be the end of them. So, He flooded the earth and kept alive Noah who was perfect, and His family. You have to know the context to why He did what He did, and never go by your own understanding, the heart is wicked and it clouds our judgment. Pride will make you fall. Instead of fighting His Word, come to learn it and pray for understanding. Because I use to deny His word until I got saved, and He opened my heart to receiving His word. Why? Because I came to Him like a child, I opened my heart to Him. This is biblical. Of course He answers those who are prideful, but at least they pray to Him to receive Him, because He can take their pride away, but not by force, but by an agreement.

[@BagOfSticksFork]

The thing i find interesting about the whole "daddy god" thing is that I've never once heard an evangelical reference the virgin mary in a similiarly familiar/informal way. I know mary is not as significant in evangelical christianity/protestantism in general as she is in catholicism, and that her symbolic role as a 'mother of all' figure is diminished because of that, but i do think the lack of a weird "mommy Mary" trend really exemplifies how psychosexually patriarchal American evangelicalism tends to be. Not that the catholic church isn't also a Freudian nightmare, but evangelicals really aren't afraid to say the quiet part out loud & take it to more extreme places. which is how you get purity balls :/
