    The Bible is fascinating. I’m not religious, and certainly not either Jewish or Christian, but I read the Bible a lot, and I have ever since I was young. My parents (also not religious) encouraged me to read it. I have made my living teaching about ancient Greece and Rome, and I often teach parts of the Bible in my courses on myth or ancient religion. But I don’t recommend cherry-picking selected verses to support a particular interpretation. I do recommend reading it in its historical context. Most of my students would say that they are (vaguely) Christian, but very few have read much of the Bible. They are often surprised to find how little of the Bible is concerned with spirituality or theology or even morality.

    I hope this edition includes Thessalonians: The Sequel, also known as Son of Thessalonians.

    It’s actually possible to think two things at the same time: (1) the attack by Hamas against Israel and Israelis was a horrific crime against humanity; (2) the military campaign by the government of Israel against the people in Gaza is a horrific crime against humanity.

    I’m interested that so many people, on both sides of the political spectrum, are so concerned about competitive sports. I’m not a big fan of competitive sports; I just don’t care who wins or loses. (Probably cause I’ve lost every game I’ve ever played.)

    Yes, there are, but so far they haven’t succeeded. Canadians by and large support universal health insurance. The current Liberal government one hole in the system has been pharmacare, but owing to pressure from the NDP the Liberal government has made a small tentative step towards repairing that whole.

    More on Canada’s abortion laws: “In Canada, all surgical abortions are performed by a physician, with nurse practitioners, pharmacists and midwives able to provide medications for non-invasive medical abortions within nine weeks (63 days) of gestation.1213 Canada has had a relatively stable abortion rate since decriminalization; the rate of recorded abortion per 1000 women of childbearing age (15–44) was 10.2 in 1974, rising to 16.4 abortions per thousand women in 1997, and declining to 10.1 abortions per 1000 women in 2020.141516 However, these rates of abortion only reflect the number of abortions reported by abortion clinics and hospitals. They do not account for unreported abortions in these setting or count abortions induced by prescription drugs such as mifepristone and misoprostol taken at home, and so these official rates of abortion undercount the true rate of abortion.15 Nevertheless, Canada has a low abortion rate overall compared to other countries,3 with approximately 74,000 abortions reported in 2020. Roughly half of abortions occur among women aged 18 to 29 years and roughly 90% of abortions are performed within the first trimester (12 weeks).”
