I tried to red pill a normie yesterday, a fellow Christian. I asked if he knew about all the stuff going on around Trump and the election.
He responded that, "He didn't think Trump had any evidence"
I replied that there was a lot of evidence being presented before the state legislatures and that I could point him to alternate media to see it.
He asked why it was not on regular television.
I carefully replied that the mainstream media did not want the information to get out but I could direct him to OAN and RightSideBroadcasting to see the evidence. (I could see him losing interest) I suggested that he start with the PA Legislature because it was only 4 hours and very concise. He would only need to spend a little time to be drawn in.
He told me that he was not interested enough to watch it.
I admit I was shocked almost speechless by his response. I told him that every generation had to fight for their liberty and this was now our fight.
He said that the America we grew up in is not the America we live in with fatalistic finality and that all he could be was to be a good Christian and to follow his vocation by serving his neighbor.
I was distracted with the fatalistic argument that America is not the America we grew up in and disagreed. And stated that I was not willing to give up. He just used that as an opportunity to wax on about being a good Christian.
I am so irritated. I allowed myself to be distracted. What about a Christian's duty to his government and his neighbor through defending our democracy? We are still working this through the courts LEGALLY. This has not even devolved down to a choice between whether we, as good Christians, should obey authorities (which have been ordained by God) or to choose between the laws of God and the laws of man.
I can't get over how quickly this person was willing to give up and allow our country to be destroyed from within through willful blindness and then declare they are being good Christians by allowing it to happen.
God help me. I will not use my faith as an excuse for inaction. Perhaps the next time I have a conversation I will be more prepared.
Keep up the fight ya'll and God bless America.
You should tell him he's being a bad neighbor by his inaction. Out of the 3 men (a Levite, a priest, and a Samaritan) who walked on that road, which one was a neighbor to the man on the side? The one who acted.
Thanks, it does. Focus on the gospel. Here we stand, we can do no other. God help us all.
I'm sorry you spent all your time trying to help someone look outside their selected channels of information.
What strikes me as funny is that they have spent their time and energy consuming media, pre-digested, and not showing multiple sides of a story. If there are multiple sides, showing only the sides that support a claim.
A lie can travel around the world before the truth can take one step. This self-righteous journalistic fad, in which journalists are supporting one side or another to look what, smart? Like they get something in return to show that one side of a story is right and the other is wrong? This should not be a journalists motivation. Showing right and wrong or using words like "filled with lies" implies that they want to suggest opinions for their audience. Stick with the facts and if opinions are brought in to support a story, let those be side lined as much as possible and have the opportunity to be retracted in an area like a website. Facts can never change, opinions can. Leave opinions out of the main line reporting.
Anonymous sources or something that cannot be traced back to the source are as good as opinions. Stop including them! This shouts, I need a good scoop but didn't have enough dirt in my dig that I just substituted crap.
He'a deluding himself if he thinks being an accessory to fraud, which is what he is doing through his willful and purposeful ignorance of the facts - makes him a good Christian. I would wonder if he's even a Christian at all. Perhaps you should give him the gospel.
Thank god I’m a pagan. Odin wills me to kill commies.
Christ is a warrior. Killing commies is the path to Heaven. Dues Vult.
How come for people who believe they are unified and led in the same spirit, they are so divided?
Sounds like a bunch of normal people lying to themselves about reality.
That's called willful ignorance. I can disprove the Bible as being true. It was originally written in Greek.
Greek then Hebrew.
Sure as fuck ain't Jesus.
