All right. I really like religious studies, I’m a Christian, although it goes much, much deeper than that. I’m gonna need a reason from Christ himself justifying your beliefs.
Now, regardless of nothing of the sort being mentioned by the Christ, why would you, a self-proclaimed proponent of loving everyone (Christian), insist on using rhetoric that you surely know is insulting and degrading to a group of people? Was it not Christ that said, if you see your brother stumble, first go to him? Then his family? It seems, in your haste judgments you’ve skipped some steps.
Lastly, this is why the western church is dying. Apostle Paul warned of things not in the Gospel dividing the Church. As such, you have not heeded his words. Christians casting harsh judgments, with condescension and arrogance is precisely why people hate us. And they are right to. You would be well to learn, and praise in it. You are a Christian, start acting like it.
No wonder the US is such a shitstain if you are a moderate, democratic voter. All this religious bullshit is what is the undoing of what Americans perceive as freedom and democracy.
There is no god, there is no Jesus. Christianity is the root of all evil, greed, jealousy, gluteny, war, millions and millions of deaths.
It was an concept taken up by Constantine and later Charlemagne to control the peasant population and enforce as law by force and violence. Just like the current US regime is trying to do with fucking prayer at the Pentagon and claiming death to Islam.
People like you are delusional.
That is another thing that Christians are good at: empathy, caring and understanding.
Oh and buying into all the propanda that is being spoon fed to you by the selected sources in your bubble. Just like religion: never let a bad story get in the way of the truth.
BTW ask any average European about nietzsche or sartre and you’ll get a blank stare. At least we are taught about this in school, unlike the US where anything that might challenge the status quo is being banned (books) and bibles and commandments are taken precedent. At least we were never taught any religious beliefs because Europe takes separation between church and state seriously.
I am well aware of Kierkegaard. I said I am really into religious studies, so I’m a little insulted. Taking a philosopher’s ideas and extracting that much from it, when his main point was worry about your own shit, and twisting it into your dogma is the same thing the western church does every Sunday.
How can you claim knowledge when the breadth of knowledge is only from lived experience? Your lived experience. By doing this you are disregarding one of the core tenants of Kierkegaard. Notwithstanding, you are still disregarding the second greatest commandment; love your neighbor. This is not neighborly. If you have a problem, and solving that problem requires you to hurt someone, don’t. Words can hurt and yours have. That is above all else. Apologize for any harm your words have caused, and just go on your way, brother.
Edit: I would like to add, deigning free will as a sin is a gross misinterpretation of the Genesis and a bad one at that. It ignores broad strokes of history and theology that can’t be dismissed as a sin of free will.
Edit edit: Kierkegaard’s ideas aren’t even super original. It takes a lot of Greek philosophy and puts a Christian spin on it.
Shame, I really wanted him to start getting into the really weird shit on his WordPress site. For the interested, Christian Existentialism can be summed up today by, I’m gonna say I’m dedicating my life to G-d so everything I do is now justified because I’m letting Him do it through me. What a joke.
No wonder. Their religion hasn’t followed the teachings of that Jesus guy for roughly two millenia after all. Jesus was cool and I’m sure he would be horryfied seeing which people call themselfves Christians…
I currently live in Europe, where since I’m an American, we routinely have conversations about how the US Democrats are further right than the right wing parties of my host country. Trans rights, motherfucker. Scratch a “centrist” and they start bitching about trans people like a typical far right bigot.
Hey guess what, there’s trans people that think that too. So stop trying to turn women into men. We didn’t choose to be born how we were. No amount of your fucking throwing us in male prisons, denying us medical care, and hate criming us for fun is going to make us into your perfect little male ideal.
Fuck off with your “trans ideology” bullshit. Other people existing that you don’t like isn’t an ideology. You’re just an asshole.

An American “centrist,” everybody.

Weird how the conversation stops here. I wonder why that could be lmfao

Sounds like the ultimate cowardly “I can’t own up to my shitty actions” life.
Seems like someone isn’t used to being challenged by people who actually know what they’re talking about
If it were a fox news interview, dude would have just been getting more loud and interrupting, man I love written text.
You’re a fucking preacher?!
In the name of all that is good, please just fucking kill yourself
Your religion is dying. Good riddance.
No wonder. Their religion hasn’t followed the teachings of that Jesus guy for roughly two millenia after all. Jesus was cool and I’m sure he would be horryfied seeing which people call themselfves Christians…
Jesus didn’t seem horrified by the slavery he was surrounded by. Never once said, “hey guys, maybe don’t own humans as property”.
Really low bar, and yet…

You should read the link. You supposedly believe that stuff. You are openly proclaiming that you are helping the enemy according to your Bible.

Your “personal Christian opinion” is not only wrong, but based on hateful ideology.
You literally just did you fucking liar
Christians, the ultimate delusional “feelings over facts” people, here to lecture us again what the “American Center” is.
Elsewhere in this thread, this MFer said TPUSA was the center.
I now understand gulags and re-education camps.

Funny how quickly that “centrist” patina falls off
Wasn’t Eve created from a man though?
