"As the #Bible’s fourth chapter tells it, “and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that #Cain rose up against #Abel his brother, and slew him.”

Fascinatingly, #Judaism’s ancient #rabbis understood what happened before the #fratricide—that oh-so-brief interaction in the field—as conversational combat before the tragic tussle. It was the first recorded history of someone deciding that an opinion he or she disagreed with made the person not worthy of existing—mankind’s first recorded cancellation. The rabbis suggested the brothers had a debate that led to a life destroyed.

What did they fight about? In classic #Talmudic fashion, it’s a debate."

Joseph’s Antidote to Cain the Cancellor

Joseph’s magnanimity is exactly the reminder we need in our time of rampant moral grandstanding and eager denunciations.

#Oklahoma mandated “teaching the Bible” in all public schools. I’m not in OK, but if I were, I’d sign up to teach.

"I am committed to the insight of interbeing and a reverence for the life of all sentient beings. I cannot support any act of killing in my thought or way of life." Thầy, paraphrased. #IYKYK

I was in NYC on 9/11/2001. I didn't support the subsequent invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. An eye for an eye didn't work for me in the Bible and it doesn't work for me now. #Genocide #Fratricide #BetterThanThis

My brother taught my mom how to use “ttyl” RIGHT before I left home so she would end every single text with it. When I see him again I will stab him #Fratricide
My brother ate all of the ice cream #Fratricide
My mum used to have a buzzer button attached to her walking cane, but she can no longer press it, so I've connected a motion sensor to the cane: she shakes the cane a bit, and it triggers a mechanical doorbell.
The problem was that it sounded exactly like the doorbell (and kept cofusing Mum, the grannie-sitter, and even me), so I've made it sound like someone ringing a bell while being shot with a silencer (they're [still] rare in our hood). #arduino #rf #433mhz #LamePun #fratricide
