“So helping the needy makes me Bernie?”
Preaching self-sacrifice as a moral virtue makes you an altruist and a piece of shit commie, yes.
Men of reason and self-esteem don’t engage in sacrifices. They live life as traders, trading value for value and never sacrifice others to himself of himself to others.
The only people who preach this nonsense are mystics and commies, but I repeat myself.
“Why are you so selfish?”
Because I am a living human being and my life, like the life of every other living creature, requires that I am the ultimate beneficiary of my actions. Otherwise, I die.
Again, listen to yourself. You are literally using the exact same lingo the god damn commies use.
“You don't have to give away everything (or even a majority)”
I don’t owe you shit just because you are a failure. Fuck off commie.
“but you're not willing to help those in need at all?”
Not as a moral duty, not against my will and not simply on the basis of need, no.
I only help those who 1. mean something to me 2. those who did not cause their circumstances, 3. who truly cannot help themselves and only 4. when and if I can.
Most people who are out there begging for money and on welfare do not pass that test.
“What if you were homeless or hungry, wouldn't you want someone to help you?”
- I would never be in that circumstance because I am not a piece of shit and I am not disabled.
- If it ever did happen I could rely on the voluntary, non-sacrificial charity of family and friends, who would help me in a way consistent with the points i outlined above.
I certainly would not expect or demand that a stranger help me, as a moral duty or against his will simply because I needed help. Strangers don’t owe me shit, they are not responsible for satisfying my needs and I don’t pretend for one second that need is an argument.
Because I’m not a fucking commie...
That’s fine. It literally can’t hurt me.
While you pray for me I will be thinking for you.
“ It absolutely did not”
Yes, it did.
America and everything good about the west is not a byproduct of Christian thought -which had dominance over cultures and societies for centuries- but rather an explicit rejection of mysticism and the adoption of reason and humanism.
“Christianity does nothing to make you give your life to strangers and it's kind of funny that you keep insinuating that it does”
This is laughable nonsense and you know it.
Christ himself openly preached that it was moral and good to give up your stuff to the poor -strangers, all you know about them is that they are failures/are poor- and explicitly preached that we should love our enemies etc.
Stop lying to yourself, quit being full of shit. You know I’m right, that is in fact what Jesus taught. Read Matthew 19:21 and then come back.
Jesus would have been a pink haired commie faggot today and that’s a fact. He believed it was good for people to sacrifice themselves for others, which is the same thing communists preach and implement via statism. His teachings are responsible for incalculable suffering and death around the world. His ethics are completely incompatible with men of reason, purpose and self-esteem and for that reason they are incompatible with a free, moral society.
America is a nation founded on the shoulders of the enlightenment. Christianity is not the dominant philosophy behind the founding of the country, and in fact that’s why it was such an undeniable success.
Bernie’s politics more faithfully align with Jesus’ ethics than Trump’s, period.
“ The point of the cross symbol isn't the mechanism for execution but rather the sacrifice that happened on it.
I’m aware of that, I addressed that and pointed out how it was disgustingly immoral.
I’ll explain it again, with bigger apples since you are a bit slow.
Christ, in terms of the Christian philosophy, is the human ideal. He personifies that which men should strive to emulate. Yet, according to the Christian mythology, he died on the cross not for his own sins but for the sins of the nonideal people. In other words, a man of perfect virtue was sacrificed for men who are vicious and who are expected or supposed to accept that sacrifice. If I were a Christian, nothing could make me more indignant than that: the notion of sacrificing the ideal to the nonideal, or virtue to vice. And it is in the name of that symbol that men are asked to sacrifice themselves for their inferiors. That is precisely how the symbolism is used.
That doesn’t scare me.
Again, this is just a creepy death cult lmao
That wasn’t a sacrifice. He benefits immensely from a free America. It would be a sacrifice if he worked for the destruction of America (something he values) in the name of the poor of the world.
That would be a sacrifice and it’s precisely the kind of sacrifice Jesus would advocate.
“The western moral system is derived from Christianity”
Not really.
Specially the founding of the United States, that’s more of a byproduct of the enlightenment. The moral system Christianity had a big influence and dominance over preceded our modern Western world by several centuries.
The Dark Ages are a good example of what “the west” looked like when Christian ethics, epistemology and metaphysics were the dominant philosophy of the time.
“You are making the argument that caring about other people or putting them first (sacrificing you them) is immoral, which is the opposite of what is true”
It’s the opposite of what Jesus taught but it’s certainly not the opposite of what is true.
I have a right to exist for my own sake. That is true. I have a right to my life, that is also true. I don’t owe strangers my life, that is also true.
You don’t know what “truth” is, and you also don’t realize how these primitive ethics are the moral foundation of statism and socialism.
“If you have a nice house and cars and guns and whatever, God is cool with that, he just doesn't want you to care about that stuff more than him, and he just wants you to help the poor out”
Bernie Sanders??? Is that you???
Christianity is a twisted death cult. Hear me out:
-
Its symbol is a literal ancient torture device, akin to choosing a tiny electric chair as the symbol for your religion.
-
The death cult glorifies the sacrifice of the innocent to the guilty. The human ideal of the cult (Jesus) is literally sacrificed and this is considered morally virtuous because he was innocent. This is complete moral depravity, it is completely irrational and unjust.
-
Jesus preached self-sacrifice as a moral virtue, which is irrational and immoral. He literally taught his followers that the rich (the productive, self-interested, capable etc) could not get into heaven and that they should sacrifice their stuff and themselves to follow him. This isn’t good moral advice, it’s pure evil and it’s the moral foundation of statism and subsequently leads to socialism. Man has a right to exist for his own sake and he isn’t a good, moral person based on how much he sacrifices himself to others but rather on how much he is able to produce and create for himself and his loved ones without violating the rights of other people.
-
He was basically a modern day, garden variety hippie of the kind you would find in a modern day socialist commune. He would have far more in common with people like Bernie Sanders than Donald Trump. He would denounce people like Trump and elevate the likes of Bernie because Christianity is a death cult and people like Trump are the exact opposite of the kind of man Christianity asks people to emulate.
This is art
Crowder is lame and unfunny AF but you guys are worse.
I’m gonna miss shitting on every single one of his posts that gets stickied because triggering you dick sucking faggots is one of the highlights of my day.
You suck, Crowder sucks and I’m glad YouTube took him down.
Dave Landau
He isn’t important to the cause. He is a faggot and he is annoying. Fuck him.
I’ll even fight for Alex Jones, but fuck Faggot Crowder.
Mine got taken down 6 years ago because, unlike Faggier with Faggot I never censored myself.
Oh god, you guys are unbearable 😂
Yeah, this doesn’t really bother me since most people on this board worship and suck the dude’s cock religiously.
The dude is not funny and I am so fucking tired of him and specially his fucking retarded fans. Maybe we can finally start sticking legit, funny and smart people for a change.
I don’t know man, middle eastern countries rank really high in religiosity and they are not doing very well. Religiosity does not actually correlate with high standards of living, individual rights or economic or political freedom.
We will be right back with Faggier with Faggot.
I’m not even a big fan of AJ but I still believe sincerely this is probably the best Pepe ever made 😂
Few things make me happier than seeing leftist pay the price for being retards.
You get what you fucking deserve.
I wish he would stick to political commentary and leave the comedy parts to actual funny people.
He is just loud and obnoxious. He isn’t funny.
Just here to remind everyone again that Crowder sucks a big fat dick, he isn’t funny and the only good thing to come out of his channel is Dave Landau.
Also, fuck the admins for religiously stickying this unfunny bastard’s content. Fuck you.
Crowder sucks
I don’t give a fuck what gods hate because they don’t exist.
