My Christian friends in LA and OC are driving me absolutely insane, agreeing with these restrictions, kissing Newsom's butt and fighting me for saying I think this is an attack on our religious rights. They say "YOU think YOU'RE a persecuted Christian? Ha! So ignorant, you have no idea what's going on in other countries. You can watch church on TV, you aren't a victim, honey. You're not a good Christian if you're willing to put someone else's life at risk."
I'm glad someone is worried about their religious freedoms because they don't even know how close they are to losing them completely.
Same. I've heard fellow "Christians" going ballistic over a news story that a church of 100 people stayed open past the date that they were suppose to shutdown. They think it's going to hurt the image of Christians, but they refuse to stop the deterioration of Western Civilization, which is built on Christianity. They sit back as their pastors preach homosexuality is okay and whites need to atone for slavery. It's sad to see them fall for Satan's lies while claiming to be worshiping Jesus.
Exactly this. It's really hard to see and idk how to not sound like an asshole while trying to explain to my friends that they need to examine the "Christianity" they're living and preaching.
Honestly, some of my friends are more concerned with what random, non believers think about them than what Jesus thinks about them. They're falling away so easily and I don't know how to help.
Challenge them to look at the bigger picture. Tell them they've got their heads down and are only seeing a tiny corner of the movie screen, but if they'd look up and step back they would see the entire picture.
Tell them it's not about a virus. Or masks. Or "social distancing." Ask them what they think it's REALLY about. What else is happening in other US cities? What pattern do they see?
Because there is a pattern and they are missing it. Play a game with them. Ask them what they see besides what's solely happening in their neighborhood. Tell them you see it but you want to know what THEY see.
P.S. Your friends are getting high off of their virtue signaling and from smugly telling you that they are Good Christians and you are not.
People who are low on the social scale love nothing more than feeling superior to someone who is naturally higher up there than they are. This is why they are so blind to the bigger picture, because their drug of smug superiority kicks in and they don't ever want that to end.
