I don’t really disagree with your premises about God. But if he can do what he wants why does he want human sacrifice? Even if only in the body of his own son?
If God can do what he wants why can’t he just forgive without an atonement sacrifice reminiscent of moloch and baal sacrifices for appeasement of those Gods? Much less the calling for symbolic cannibalism of that sacrificial human body every Sunday?
Can you see how I might be concerned about the parallels, and the appearance of direct outgrowth from the moloch/baal cults and their fundamental ideas?
You say Christianity is not a sacrificial religion and in the very next sentence concede that it is centered around human sacrifice (god sacrificing his own son who was also human, Jesus was human right?)
That’s my point. God sacrificing his own son is meant to substitute for regular men sacrificing their sons to moloch and/or baal.
It’s literally a direct substitution that is still at the center of the religion and is celebrated every Sunday.
I’m not sure I can get behind that even symbolically.
Sure it’s better than us really sacrificing our own sons. But how bout not sacrificing any sons? And how bout not envisioning a god that would require sons to be sacrificed at all, even if their own?
Just because those who were expressing sincere concerns that ACB could become the next Roberts have stopped posting that concern now that she is officially nominated, that doesn’t mean they were shills.
On the contrary, it means they were expressing their true fears and reservations but are now fully committed to Trump’s choice for better or worse.
In other words the vast majority were never shills in the first place but had genuine concerns and maybe still do (which is neither concern trolling nor shilling)
That's interesting. And I'll read up. It is in fact one of my primary reservations regarding Christianity... It's all centered around human sacrifice. The sacrificial lamb (as you mentioned ham instead of lamb which presumably you prefer). The sacrifice of a man for the atonement of human sin. (presumably you concede Jesus was a man however much you believe he may also have been a God or the son of God). A human sacrifice that is celebrated every Sunday. (the Eucharist)... it's all about human sacrifice. Whether literal or symbolic.
My primary reservation to Christianity is that although it may be an improvement (since it is symbolic) it is still just a direct outgrowth of human sacrifice cults originally meant to appease Moloch and/or Baal.
Me too. That's why I am willing (eager) to change my mind if necessary. But back to my original point, to the extent that Christians truly seek It, It is the Christian God. (Same for Buddhists too by the way, which I infer is closer to your leanings)
Yes, this. Please. Even if you have to stand in the rain for hours. Stand up and be counted!
Don't die however many years from now knowing that when the chips were down and we all needed you, you deferred to others to do your job of standing up for what you believe in.
Every (Trump) vote matters!
Lord... God... those are just words. I'm saying there is only one truth... The Truth. And only one uncaused cause.
And to your accusation. If I'm ever convinced I've made a mistake I will change my mind instead of trying to deny the truth. I've done it before, and to quote the meme "I'll do it again". I was a never Trumper. Now I believe he is quite literally divine intervention. LOL
Yes, but to the extent that Christians are earnestly seeking It, they are serving the one true God. And in that sense he is a/the Christian God. They don't own him, or control him, but he's still their God because they seek and serve him/It. Pantheist or polytheist arguments only beg the question of which God is the most powerful God. Where do they derive their power? There is only one true God. One true source of being. And there is only one truth, or there is no truth at all. Truth is exclusive (of all that is false).
I'm not even really Christian, but just watch me put my hands together in prayer. LOL. They say there are no atheists in foxholes (not an atheiest either really) but this is even more important than my foxhole whenever and wherever it may be.
Agree 100%, very worried at any aquiescence by the media or the left. (same thing). But it's done now, and even though I was for Lagoa I'm putting my faith in the same force that got us Donald Trump in the first place, against all odds.
Yes, he's definitely not changing it for me (although I do believe in a way he did make it for me, and for all of us, sincerely from his heart, because that's Trump), and I am glad for today, because RBG is dead and ACB will probably be at least marginally better, even if she turns out to be an authoritarian big government trojan horse. And I do trust Trump, because I've made the mistake of not doing so in the past and been proven wrong. And because I believe that he is a gift from God and a divine intervention. And most of all because I believe he is a good man who genuinely loves America. And because there is no better option.
But I still consider you to be a mindless shill who is all that could become wrong with the current agenda to Make America Great Again... marginalizing anyone who disagrees with you, even if it's genuine concern over a lifetime appointment by a fallible human man. This isn't Trumps fight, it's our fight. (even Trump knows that do you), and we have cause to be concerned. Which does not make us "concern trolls". It makes us human. And shows how invested we are in this struggle for what we love (America).
Fuck you and your "low energy" insults and "concern trolling" accusations, from someone who 100% supports Trump, and will give him the benefit of the doubt on any nomination even if I am worried.
There's a reason that crowds say they love Trump, literally tell him that they love him... but it's not because they think he is an infallible God... actually it's because they know that he is not, but that he is fighting just like they are.
Right on! I've told a few people this myself when they say "well his dad gave him a million dollars" and I'm like "really? So each time you get a paycheck you're guaranteed to be a millionaire"? Cause making 1,000,000,000 from 1,000,000 is essentially the same as making 1,000,000 from 1,000. And I guarantee you you're not going to make a million dollars (or if you do it's not because you have 1,000 dollars now)
I’ll confess I know next to nothing about British politics but you say this is all coming from EU globalists. What do you think the globalists preferred system of government is? Whatever else it’s called, the centralization of everything under their authoritarian control including and especially the “means of production” is its most important bedrock principle. And there’s a name for that... Communism. Not that there isn’t basic corruption, there always is. But fundamentally and at their core the EU globalists are global Communists.
Seriously? You don’t realize yet that covid is 100% from the left? Forbid people to work. Pay them not to work (a first step towards universal basic income) Run small businesses out of business so more power accrues to the large businesses (centralization of the “means of production”). Authoritarian flexing of control (masks). Creating “contact tracing corps” (secret police). Setting the precedent of taking kids away from families under the guise of quarantining them (undermining and destroying the nuclear family) If nothing else told you how bogus Covid 19 is, the way that the reaction to it feeds almost every aspect of the Marxist agenda should tell you all you need to know.
OP, The tweet snip is nice. But I love your thinking, and you're so right. Feminists aren't pro women. They are anti-women... It's like antifa. They aren't antifascist they are fascist. You can always tell where the left truly stands by reversing what they refer to themselves as. Because the one thing they can never change about themselves is that they are liars.
All of society. All of it that is good, is centered around women. From providing for his family, to supporting his children, to creating a protected space for them and his wife, and to voting for and envisioning a society that promotes those goals. Any good man is primarily motivated by his family, of which his wife is it's abiding spirit. There is no attacking the family without attacking the women that are at it's center.
Until and unless we fix this Trump is going to be but a brief respite. I don't even think the supreme court will matter in the long run when they've created super-majorities of activist Marxists all convinced that the constitution is a foul relic of a racist past that needs to be amended and "fixed".
I hope you’re right but if she’s even a little for forced vaccinations I’m gonna stay worried. If I don’t have the right to control my own bloodstream and say no to Bill Gates and the pharmaceutical industry then what rights can I really say I have?
Once they can force me to take one injection, ostensibly for the good of society. What stops them from giving me any drug? Mood altering or otherwise, for the “good of society”. And once my mood and mindset is their purview my thoughts and speech will consequently and inevitably follow. And then where are any rights at all?
You’re gonna call me crazy now. That’s ok though. I know you would have called me crazy in 2019 too if I told you what they were going to do in 2020.
