As I've said here before, I'd have a lot more respect for people who profess to be Christians if they lived their lives the way Jimmy Carter did. But the vast majority practice versions that are the exact opposite of what Jesus supposedly taught. And get the fuck out of the government. "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's".
Yes, I am very against a theocracy. These past few weeks, I’ve had people on Facebook try and give their Charlie Kirk opinions. And if you really read what they’re saying, it’s “we all need to learn to listen to each other and work out our differences! Also God’s law trumps everything so we’re always right.” There’s that Goldwater quote where he rails against it, which I like, and also the fact that most conservatives hold Atlas Shrugged in such high regard, when it very openly says religion in government is an awful idea.
Also, I haven’t seen anything from the Kirk memorial thing today…but this past week I’ve been remembering Paul Wellstone more than I usually do.
Dunno about Israel, but almost every local Islamic power 100% believes in the bootheel being firmly on Jews necks. By contrast Israel just wants guarantees to be left the fuck alone. Also no I don't disagree about not giving a shit since outside of grifts, most people don't give a shit about this conflict(or any of the other exceedingly fucked up others actively going on) either with the exception that it involves Jews and lots of post 9/11 Bush administration white guilt.
Jew hate is literally in the quran. They are indoctrinated with that from birth. How the hell do you reason with a culture like that?
Normally, I would agree with this statement. However, what Netanyahu is trying to do with both Gaza and the West Bank is super fucked up. Trying to annex the entirety of whats left of their small territory is the opposite of being left alone.
Please don't take anything I said as a personal attack on you or anyone here, it's just a rant against the way the country is headed at the moment. I understand that religion is a very important part of a lot of peoples lives. I just wish it wasn't being used the way it is.
Yeah that's what I meant in terms of what Israel is working with. Oh 100% for sure. A lot of people fucking HATE HIM even in Israel because of a lot of shit like that if details from other sites are accurate(they 100% DO hate him, but the full details escape me).
For all the western people lamenting about the Palestinians, remember, none of the neighboring Arab countries are accepting refugees. Even the two other state sponsors of Hamas, Turkey and Qatar, are not helping.
This is not true. On Reddit you only get upvotes for caring about the Palestinians. You say anything positive about anyone Jewish or Israel and they send you to downvote island.
I can’t tell anymore if it’s just bots commenting or whatever, but there is no longer separation of Jews and Israel. All Israelis and Jews are basically now the same. We are all a “genocide-supporting” monolith. The overall Jew hatred right now is as high as I’ve ever seen it.
One of my frequented sites has an entire thread dedicated to keeping track of this shit and it's super uncomfortable and off-putting how the left just straight up embraced that shit full on mask off.
Don't look now, but Tucker Carlson just blamed you guys for killing Jesus during a nationally broadcast "funeral"/WWE event (at least that's why I assume people were coming onto stage with fireworks). It was ambiguous at first, but then he drew a mental picture of Jesus's killers eating hummus, so you would know he wasn't talking about the Romans (even though the earliest mention of hummus in the historical record didn't occur for more than a thousand years after the death of Jesus).
I’ve seen a few clips of the Kirk rally. His wife has to either come to terms with what actually happened at what was supposed to be a memorial for her husband, or she was totally on board with this shit.
That’s the clip that prompted by post. I mean, it is quite a reductive explanation of the death of Jesus. But don’t worry, Trump hates his “opponent.” I mean, Charlie didn’t hate his, but Trump, he REALLY hates his opponent.
Killing Jesus has been an antisemitic libel for a long time, but the hummus thing was just so deliberately simpleminded and unsubtle. "Listen, these murderers of Jesus I'm talking about, they weren't sitting around eating penne bolognese, they were eating a hummus dip, you get what I'm saying?"
True but it's a funny justification anytime something bad happens to them. Also strange the original Christian religion (Catholicism) is the one that actually tells the story mostly correctly. You learn right away in CCD that Christ was killed by Pontius Pilot.
The Catholics basically name drop three people and only three people: Jesus, Mary, and Pontius Pilate.
Not surprising, The Vatican made an official degree in the 50s that the Jews were, specially, not responsible for Christ's death. I guess things hadn't been going to well in Europe.
