If we had this debate, you'd lose.

There is no debate. You either love God or hate God. You sir, hate God. I'm not discussing this further.

​ @David C. McGuire  Jesus debated with people he disagreed with. The writers of the Creeds debated about the doctrines they wanted to codify. But for you to say that anyone who disagrees with you about the abortion issue "hates God", ... is tantamount to saying that most Christians hate God. -since most Christians disagree with you about the abortion issue. But I get it. You think your voice is the voice "God" is speaking through, and you feel "hated" by people disagreeing with you, and you can't tell where you end and "God" begins, and so you feel like all those people also "hate God". That attitude, and your echo-chamber where only same-views are heard ... is what keeps your mind safe-guarded against dangerous-knowledge. But that means you shouldn't be listened to by anyone who isn't in your echo-chamber, because: all healthy human relationships are based on equal footing of moral authority and equal respect. You can't grant that. So no one should deal with you. Fine. I'll ignore you too, from now on; -just to keep things equal. But please do feel free to twist my words after I'm gone. -just like you did in the livestream of the channel where you invited outsiders to come listen to you.

Why "Christianity didn't do NOTHING wrong"

Image
 An Introduction To Christianity.  Why "Christianity didn't do NOTHING wrong" Our journey begins with this YouTube video. My own thoughts about that video are mixed. It makes great points. Granted,  rather than having the old man speak for himself,  the more accurate illustration would be several old men claiming (without evidence) to speak for "The" Old Man. However, I am reminded that Darkmatter2525 doesn't usually bother to clarify this either; since everyone familiar with these issues already realizes how it really works.  --  In response to this short video,  one man (a Christian) wrote: " In the actual story the "children" ran through the house like nothing happened and lived of him, destroying and subjugating him I'm talking about the Roman pagans of course, and how Christianity humanized the world by reforming whatever was that Christianity didn't do NOTHING wrong" --- I am translating that to mean this: --- "In th...

Responding To Ryan Pauly (Christian Fundamentalist) About De-Conversion And Secularism

Image
  These statements (made by you (Ryan) and your guest) are building upon a narrative which is incredibly unreasonable and unethical. First, you frame the narrative as: 'rather than allow "Scripture" to tell us who we are...' This one almost slipped under the radar. The fair and honest way of saying that part of your rhetoric would be: "Rather than allowing 1. my subjectively chosen sect's 2. subjective interpretation of 3. our subjectively chosen religious texts tell you who you are ... ". Although, even that wording wouldn't be totally fair. Since HUMANITY does actually NOT instinctively know that your sub-niche religious faction even exists; nor that your over-arching religious umbrella (or "theme") of "Christianity" is anything they should give attention or credence to. In fact, even the people who are leaving your specific religious sub-culture are only ACTUALLY leaving because they REALIZED it doesn't a...

The War On Christmas. Is that a real thing? And is it really a war against Jesus?

Image
 Today, our journey begins here.   In reply,  someone wrote: "Unfortunately this was true at one point, and would still be if the people with common sense fighting back." --- In reply, I said: There's still no "war on Christmas". Everyone can still say "Merry Christmas". Christian fundamentalists still enjoy pretending to be oppressed." [Note: I made some other observations; offering many points of common ground. However, Kelly didn't really want to talk about any of that. So I've decided not to include it here]  ---- In reply, they said:  "you apparently have forgotten when many companies forbid their employees from saying Merry Christmas, and when companies turned away from Merry Christmas and using the generic Happy Holidays. Apparently you missed our current Vice President and her speech on how terrible it was to say Merry Christmas because it was not inclusive. It is a reality that some folks dismiss. They want Christ erased at e...
