It's hard to express ideological revelations in a single post, but I'm going to try my best.
Both my parents were 'religious'. My father cheated on my mother, but after divorced lead a devout life.
My mother claims to be catholic, read me Bible verses, but would bring home random men and tell me that it was better to let seed fall into the belly of a whore, than to the floor. After twenty plus years she still blames my father for her failures.
I joined the Marines, and my father told me that there are no atheists in fox holes. But the only thing I thought of in combat, were the men that were with me, and the men I lost.
I thought humanism and intellectual reasoning would win out in the end. That was false.
2020 has brought a realization to me, that we need religion, whether it's thinking that there is a man in the sky, or the following the core tenets.
Relgions share TONS of common ideals, they're all trying to tell followers how to live better lives.
But without a doubt, judeo Christian values have led to the best results.
The things you are mad about today, did not start happening a year ago. Hell, I watched Dazed and Confused with my wife the other night, and I love the movie. But the movie criticized the founding fathers as not wanting to pay taxes.
That was not the overarching reason, the emphasis on economic reasons being the driving factor is a rail road spike in appreciation for what we stand for. Shake off these shackles, realize that we need Judeo Christian reasoning and thoughtfulness to move forward.
I don't care about the color of your skin, I care about your values, your ideals. I want to know that you America.
No such thing as judeo Christian. Only Christian
Exactly.
If you accept the Gospels, as, well... gospel...
Jesus threw out pretty much all of the judeo stuff.
I understand this thought process, but do you think on a societal level, that you would rather deal with only Christians, or a judeo-christian alliance?
From my understanding, Christians believe all the same things, except that Jesus was the son of Christ?
That then brings in the holy trinity, but isn't that all in the same? I'd rather play ball with people who understand the concept of the game, than those who don't even want to enter the same are a.
Perhaps, but I'm willing to encourage down this path, than neither.
Judaism and Christianity are polar opposites
I wouldn't say opposite, but a fork in the road.
No the exact opposite from one who knows first hand
