Humans are doing these things now. In our country. No one really seems to care, least of all Evangelical types.

I agree with you that these things are wrong but I'm not convinced that people who claim that they have moral certitude due to their belief in Christianity are doing much to address them.

Also, human rights are one of those things that are only loosely associated with religion. They are, after all, based on the concept that humans have innate dignity. Christianity is based on the concept that humans are evil at birth and deserve eternal damnation. Not much reason to bother with earthy comforts if that's your starting point. Get the sinners baptized and hope they die quick before they mess it up would be the GTO strategy in play.

Not in any poker game I've ever played in.

Try harder? Stop seeing your fellow humans as cockroaches? Stop posting deliberatively provocative ****?

I am absolutely convinced that most Evangelicals are not doing much to address those evils.

Humans have innate dignity because they are made in the image of God. In a Naturalistic worldview, there is literally no such thing as "innate dignity."

Why are you lying yet again? I made it very clear that I don't see my fellow humans as cockroaches. I would encourage you to pay better attention.

Reposting this so all can see that Trolly is lying again.

That's one of those things they wrote without thinking about it. It really puts poor God in a bad light.

I don't know if he laughs or cries.

You’ve made it clear that bronze-age mythology is the only thing keeping you from viewing people as no better than insects. That there’s no intrinsic value to your fellow humans. It’s a terrifying perspective really.

After you retract your lie, I will respond to you.

Have a good day!

I would hope you would use that same standard before advocating for them as POTUS.

No?


She is a morally vacuous and hollow person.

She has not demonstrated that she holds any values or positions other than what is the most likely to get her paid.

What is yours when it comes to you proclaiming certain things are 'evil' and you even create a list?


Google is your friend. Lots to read on here as a person who tried to become a voice on the left, failed due to the stronger competition and found a nice niche on the extreme right always wiling to embrace a POC who will denigrate and tear down their own people, providing a veil for the insults and racism and other isms she deals in.

Here is just one example.
Every Receipt Proving Candace Owens Is A Con Artist Who Is Following The Money




So again, she is just a horrible human being and one you instantly gravitated too as a good candidate for POTUS and maybe you should reflect on that.

If you can know this...

...if thru your discernment you feel qualified to judge based on the above...

Why did you then ask me this...

...as if i was wrong or do not have the proper standards or info to judge?

Those are not quotation marks so why would i cite a post number.

I was obviously doing a mocking paraphrase of your post 1926 where you 'use your judgment to CITE evils' against another post where you claim we do not have the power to make such judgements.

Something you do consistently in pure bold faced hypocrisy.

You don't need examples. You know of the near countless disgraceful things God does in the bible but you just wave them away as 'who are we to judge'.

That is just before or after you list your things you are judging.


But for the lulz why don't you give us your explanation for 4 Kings 2:23-24.

That is where God sent two bears to murder 42 children.

Why? What was their crime?

Well they made fun a bald man for being bald who then requested God get vengeance for him, and God being always the willing gamer sent the bears who then slaughtered each and everyone of them.



lagtight : do you think i can point to any standard that would make that act "evil" such as what you did above when you listed those things you said were clear evils?

U2.

But this is why these conversations always go nowhere fast.

You make a bold claim, that it's necessary for humans to be made in the image of God for them to have inherent dignity, and that abortion is the ultimate evil because of this necessary trait.

Then things get a bit interesting and you quit.

Can I play? Seems like a nice thread we have here
Cite or ban

U2

Did you ever have any pets as a kid?

If only there were a dedicated thread where we could all chat about this sort of thing instead of having it constantly pop up in different threads. What do you think, Trolly?

Evangelicals alone are not the problem. Religion itself is evil. Although White Evangelicals in America have taken it to another level . Just think about the fact, 'white evangelicals '. WTF.
Religion has been for thousands of years a political tool. A minority of good people still believe in the virtues of religious beliefs, but for the majority of people, it's used as an excuse, by demonizing as sinners and dehumanizing people of other faiths and religious denominations, to oppress and abuse and exert dominance over them.
Religion isn't religion, it's identity; tribalism.

You know what, youre right. I allowed myself to get trolled by an abrasive dickhead; mods should really move this thread to RGT.

Sure. Which is why religion needs to have some place in the context of a political forum.

Lololol....pot/kettle Trolly.

So is religion evil or is it just identity and tribalism that are evil?
Is it possible for the concept of evil to exist even without religion?

I mean, we have a forum for this sort of thing, but for some reason lagtight is still allowed to go on these manic rants about religion ITF. It's hard to argue there should be a thread where lagtight broadcasting what a shitty person he is to the world in a rapid-fire manner should belong, let alone be allowed.
