Not a single Christian among them. What exactly are they praying for, did anyone ask?
Optics, they are praying for optics.
It's funny how fast Murica has fallen into authoritarianism, I'm genuinely having a hard time believing that such a large portion of the population can be so stupid.
Think of how stupid the average person is
Half of em are dumber than that
It's been the calculated plan for far longer than I can remember.
Conservative politics relies on stupid uneducated voters incapable of critical thinking.
The voters that, with a lack of actual knowledge of their own through either experience, formal education or even just good old fashioned intellectual curiosity about the world around them, will happily cede their opinion to the first authority figure who tells them what they are already presdisposed to believe and confirm their biases.
It's the entire reason there has been a coordinated attack on the liberal arts and college education under the guise of "financial constraints" and the push in the last few decades towards trade schools.
Conservative politics requires stupid who are content to learn how to be a tradesman, without any of that inconventient history or critical thinking getting in the way.
I get that's been the game plan, and to be honest it's worked perfectly, but poor people actually gloating about "owning the libs" while shooting themselves in the foot, the face and all else beggars belief!
The truest line ever uttered in film...
"A person can be smart. But people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals, and you know it." -- Kay from MiB
We've all been hardwired with groupthink. We had to be. When a member of your tribe comes running by in a panic, you don't have time to stop and think what the hell is he running from?, you just start running along with him. It's the difference between living to hunt another day or getting killed by a bigger predator than you are.
The more people that are running. The more important it is (to our brain) to just start legging it. No one wants to be the straggler at the back that gets picked off. For that reason, group-think and herd-mentality skews incredibly towards the simplistic. In terms of evolution, there's no time to worry about the why...you just trust that if everyone else is running, you probably should be too. In terms of modern day that is the susceptibility of uneducated people to dogma, polemics and confirmation bias.
A single person..and individual that has critical thinking skills and the ability to look at the wider context, can overcome that instint. They can stop and say "hmmm...maybe I should look and see if this really is something that is going to harm me." They can reason themselves out of group-think.
But without that context. Without that critical thinking, you have almost no choice but to rely on the fact that if someone is telling you to run, they must know more than you...so get it in gear.
Whether that person is telling you to run from a predator, or to hate immigrants, it's all due to the same inherent mentality in humans.
You don't get to decide this, regardless of how embarrassed you may be.
Oh they may call themselves Christians, but none of them uphold the ideals or beliefs of Christians. They are hypocrites. The same day they do this they take away healthcare from millions, take food out of children's hands, and ramp up more violence to those already hurting.
I don't care what their label is they put on the outside, none of these are Christian. They openly spit on the morals that Jesus laid down.
The bible begs to differ. I'm sure your source is better though on what makes a Christian.
The Bible tells you that you get to decide who is a Christian or not?
I'm afraid not, sir/madam. In fact, I believe it says precisely the opposite.
Since you're not discussing in good faith,I won't bother responding again. You know what I meant but anyway, they're idol worshippers and infidels.
OK, what? Holy shit what a cop out...
I know exactly what you meant, and I'm tired of seeing this "no true Christian" shit everywhere. You don't get to disown these people.
Edit: Who are the 5 additional people that upvote a Christian comment calling other Christians "infidels." What fucking site am I on?
If your behaviour is any indication then being a Christian means talking down to people and refusing to discuss or consider ideas other than your own.
Sounds about right.
Jesus didn't stutter when he talked about strangers, the poor,those in need, the sick, and the wealthy. I suggest you read the bible critically. Any member of congress who backs Trump and claims to be Christian will burn in their version of hell fire. Much like the so called muslims leading the Gulf countries.
We don't know what jesus said at all tbh.
We know his underlying messages were about love. Not enriching the already wealthy, not abandoning the poor etc.
No loving being invents hell or childhood cancer.
That's an entirely different discussion. These people are sick, and nothing they're doing reflects what they're cosplaying.
Is it though?
Pretending to be loving and good, and instead causing pain and suffering describes jesus pretty well. If he is what Christians claim.
Jesus isn't here to defend himself, but these people are, someone should ask them what exactly are they praying for? I don'tspeak for Christians nor do I speak for Muslims or Jews, I'm just making a case that these people are cosplaying at being human beings with feelings.
Not what you said though, is it.
If you stop defending christianity ill leave you alone.
That death cult needs to die with its founder.
Just for the record, I'm a Muslim by birth, non religious by nature, I'm simply pointing out their hypocrisy based on their supposed understanding of the Bible which i have studied. I defend no religion.
Gross. All religions are evil. Once we are free of them, then life can truly begin.
I'm sorry you don't care about truth.
You make far too many assumptions. I'm sorry you don't seem to comprehend what I've said.
If you say so.
Your god isn't real either btw.
Nine of the gods are.
Thousands of years and not a scrap of proof.
No reasonable person will believe this nonsense.
Do you know what non religious means?
Then why defend the death cult?
People can and do lie all the time. Knowing and un knowingly.
I didn't, you completely misunderstood my point and I couldn't be bothered to correct you. I am pointing out their hipocricy according to their beliefs, not by logic.
The count is few. Guns are plentiful Wixyou help me reduce it?
I'm used to violent protests where i'm from, (un)fortunately i'm far away or else likely I'd have been caught and deported by ICE.
I would never ever ever ever recommend violence against human beings!
I am also many many KM away from the USA, unfortunately
Unfortunately, sometimes it is absolutely necessary, much like the Third Reich needed to be forcibly removed.
Saying so is verboten
No, but appeasing facists should be forbidden. They deserve no kid gloves.
Jesus condoned slavery. And the Bible was later used as a means to justify the continuance of chattel slavery in the US. The Bible is explicitly pro-slavery and pro-genocide.
The concept of God was invented because it's an unbearable thought to think that men like these will get away scot free with what they're doing
The concept of God was invented by men like these to enable exactly what they're doing :)
It's the ultimate authoritarian power fantasy, and the human mouthpieces for that ultimate authority tend to be very well taken care of.
