Jilly! Terrible news: I'm a Nigerian prince with $1,000,000 trapped in escrow, and I just need your bank details, your mother's maiden name, and your first pet's name to release it. 👑 Completely legitimate. Definitely not suspicious. Anyways😂 I hope you feel better soon, you brilliant woman 💛

Hey Cat, I feel you, that's so frustrating 😅 But I think I can actually help. The reason OBS keeps freezing is that streaming makes your computer do really heavy lifting, and if the computer is a little older or weak, it just can't keep up and crashes. It's not a virus thing, it's just that the work is too much for that machine. Here's the cool part: since your streams are the live Tel Aviv cameras (not your own face/webcam), you actually don't need your computer to do the work at all. There's a free service from Oracle that gives you a small "computer in the cloud" for free, and IT can grab the camera feeds and send them straight to your YouTube live 24/7. Your own computer can be totally off and the stream keeps running. No freezing, no shutdowns, nothing on your end. To set it up you'd just need two things: the web address of the camera feed you're pulling, and your YouTube stream key. After that it runs by itself. I've set up stuff like this before. If you want, I'm happy to walk you through it step by step or even prep the whole thing for you so you just copy a couple lines. Just let me know 🙂

Don't murder, don't steal, don't bear false witness, respect your parents.. I don't see any problem with this.

@The Daijal Of course I picked the palatable ones, am I not talking to a secular audience? 🤣 I'll be honest, I don't believe in separation of church and state. Laws are based on agreed morals, and historically, most of those agreed morals were shaped by religious traditions. Every "secular" legal system in the West is running on borrowed religious capital whether it admits it or not. You can never truly separate the two. "No graven images" is not a ban on artwork or statues. It's a ban on making an image of God to worship. Lady Justice, the Statue of Liberty - nobody prays to them, nobody worships them as gods. They're not graven images in any biblical sense. Now that Renaissance painting of God reaching out a finger to Adam? That actually is what the commandment prohibits. On "no coveting", this one's underrated. The commandment isn't just about actions, it's about the feeling itself. You can either dwell in envy or shake it off - and dwelling is what destroys you. Marriages wrecked by people who couldn't stop wanting their neighbor's spouse. Consumer debt built on wanting what others have. Dwell in it long enough and you'll be miserable, your home will fall apart, and you'll bankrupt yourself chasing what was never yours. But shake it off and be content with what you have? That's bliss. The difference between those two states is the difference between heaven and hell, and the commandment is pointing you toward the right one. And scale that up. a society full of people dwelling in envy is a society constantly tearing itself apart. A society of people content with what they have is one that can actually function. And here's where I'll give you a point: the 2nd commandment is incompatible with America right now. Christianity has an image for God (Jesus). Putting "no graven images" on a wall in a majority-Christian country is internally contradictory. You got me there. Another point for you: Moses holding the tablets is carved into the U.S. Supreme Court building alongside other historical lawgivers as a historical display, courts have ruled that's fine. But teaching them the 10 commandments in classrooms? That's a different story. That does cross into religious territory. American courts have already struck this kind of thing down in the past, precisely because posting them in classrooms shifts from historical display into religious instruction.

@Shauna Starcher Shauna, you're spot on and it goes even deeper. Add Rabbi Tovia Singer's point to Cornthwaite's: the Gospels were written **anonymously**. The names "Matthew, Mark, Luke, John" weren't attached until around 180 CE by Irenaeus roughly a century after the texts were composed. So the full picture: - Zero first-century manuscripts - First clear citation Justin Martyr, ~150 CE - Author names attached ~180 CE - Text kept evolving (the adulterous woman in John 8 is a late addition, Mark's ending varies across manuscripts) - Pilate-as-sympathetic and the anti-Jewish framing fit a post-135 Roman audience perfectly, exactly as you noted The whole "eyewitness testimony" claim collapses. These are anonymous texts that evolved over 150 years and got author names assigned retroactively. Compare to Torah transmission Dead Sea Scrolls confirm textual stability across a millennium. The contrast is sharp. 🙏
