OT DOES RELIGION MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU?

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Yeah it's pretty simple. If people are engaging in fascist behavior they aren't antifa and are not supported as such. They are rejected roundly.

The clamor that "Antifa is bad" or whatever is simply fascist propaganda to try and make anything opposed to fascist ideals seem bad.

No one said antifa bad….

YOUR clamor, that i have contention with, is that Christians and the right need to clean house of their own, doing bad things, but Antifa is not responsible for those running in thier circles doing bad things. They arent Ntifa so they Rent responsible?

okay the. Those posing as Christians who are causing harm aren't actually Christians and so they have no responsibility to keep them in check either.

Its a black and white contradiction is all.
How can you consider it the Christians responsibility to keep a check on those in their circle causing problems, but Antifa doesn't have to?

it makes zero sense. Plain and simple. Its a clear double standard.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Anyhow. Agree to disagree.

Are you saying anybody supporting outlawing abortions is not a Christian or follower of Christ?

The official teachings of the Catholic Church oppose all forms of abortion procedures whose direct purpose is to destroy a zygote, blastocyst, embryo or fetus, since it holds that "human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.

Just move on bro. We are obviously at an impasse and disagree. Its all good.

I can appreciate your sad and twisted story. What your grandfather did was wrong - very wrong. Sadly, there are people in this world who've decided to take the gospel of Jesus into their own hands, and perverted it.

And you keep voting for them.

Religion means as much to me as a penny on the ground.

Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck.

That being said...religion is a part of our collective human culture and is predominate in most countries around the globe. Religion helps to provide discipline, morals, community, charity, and socializing.

That being said none of those benefits necessitates being a member of a religion in order to exist.

Unfortunately, I think our human lizard brains make it impossible for us humans as a whole to leave religion behind. Humanity cannot reach a collective higher state of being until our species further evolves.

:hugs:

EDIT: spelling

Religion, like most things in our life and on this planet, has positives and negatives.
It is very much on the individual and how they perceive/implement religion in their own life.
Like most things, its not the hammer that is the problem. Its who swings it, how and where.

Who wakes up in the morning and decides to type this? Don't you have a hobby?

I'm responding to people.

I don’t think too many Democrats side with Antifa. I think it’s pretty universally understood that Antifa are just low life’s looking to cause trouble.

I hope you are right. But many are in denial about it. Like a friend literally shut me out for simply saying they exist and are a problem.

Judging solely off of your posts here, I bet they shut you out for a lot more than that.

 

[beast blazer]

I just get tired of the holier than thou attitude of the left these days. That was once a right wing thing.

The dems for example are funding Trump backed candidates, while at the same time saying they are this "existential threat to democracy." Its all lies and propaganda.

Thank you. I love you.

"They" who? There is no "Antifa" organization.

Again, you are confusing Anti-fascists with Anarchists.

Oh puleeze...

 

[beast blazer]

Antifa literally means antifascism. Opposed to fascism. That's it. That's their stance.

Anarchists want to cause problems. I think you're confusing them.

I could start an organization called save the puppies, that goes around killing puppies. Names dont mean shit.

 

[beast blazer]

You mean outlawing family planning, hating gays, banning books?

Who is setting pregnancy centers on fire? Leftist scum. Not calling you leftist scum....btw

 

[beast blazer]

Some deranged leftists want to castrate children, then when someone opposes that they call it "hating gays" or transphobia. Word games.

Beast has some pretty nasty fantasies.

True statement, but since there is very little (if any) evidence of any antifa support for fascist behavior it doesn't make sense to day they behave in a fascist manner or do anything other than oppose fascism, as defined above.

I posted this quote earlier in the thread as I find it to be quite apt: "With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion." - Steven Weinberg

Throughout history, religion has proven to be a most effective tool for evil people to control, manipulate, and oppress others.

I agree. Evil people are very adept at using anything that grants them a degree of control over other people.

Religion means jack crud to me, honestly

My parents are selling their house right now and told me they got an offer from a Mormon family that is actually related to their neighbors. It was $50k under asking.

They wrote my parents a letter saying they can only spend $700k on a home and that it was in gods will that they get that particular house.

ummm okay

As I was sliding down the wall in tears, telling God that I was all His, a golden glow and warmth entered the room. No way else to describe it. I was at complete peace.

I remember my first LSD trip.

I remember my first time having sex.

I remember my first LSD trip.

Me, too.

I was around 17. Came home from a party. My dad was up waiting for me, as he often did. As per normal, I told my dad everything. I was high as a kite. Once I finished telling him all that happened, he smiled, then gave me a soft little lecture. As he was talking about all the dangers, I watched his index finger kind of waving at me. Freaking tracers. It was pretty wild. I progressed to 'shrooms following that experience.
