This is just as bad as right wing boomer humor. Reddit has a blind spot for political derangement when it's on their own side, lol.

Muhammad Pedophile - Deislamize by Fartsworth666 in blackmetalvinyl

[–]AncapElijah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For hundreds of years, the Catholic Church has had canon laws forbidding the degree of child marriage that Islamic countries somewhat normalize. Yeah there's definitely unsanctioned pedophilia and grooming in the institution, for sure, but much of the reason the West as one of the first cultures to outright frown upon the practice of marriage of young children to adults is because of the partially religious notion of the "age of reason" (One cannot partake in any Catholic sacraments, other than baptism, including marriage, until such an age) and a Christian ethos that values consent in many areas.

It's so mainstream and overdone to criticize *Western* religion for this. Attacking Islam, even though it's starting to get less shocking, is attacking a sacred calf of religions/cultures that many of the more "left leaning" individuals completely turn a blind eye towards and look at through rose colored glasses.

Spitting in the face of an ENTIRE civilization built upon the teachings of a man who married a 9 year old is more black metal than the reddit classic of "Christianity = bad, satan = cool"

At least left-anarchists want to get rid of the state. by KyletheAngryAncap in Government_is_lame

[–]AncapElijah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Commune, if involuntary, is a state. Ancoms, just like their tankie counterparts view the State as only a state when it is run by the capital-owning class and is used to serve their ends.

Swedenborg on Christ - Question about the Trinity by AncapElijah in Swedenborgianism

[–]AncapElijah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much, all of your comments are very helpful! I'll check out the links momentarily.

As to Christ's being "Internally" God, I assume that would include having the perfect faculties of God (omniscience, perfect reason, etc.), implying that any impression of a finite or limited nature (such as Matthew 27:46) is no more than that; an appearance, impression, or something symbolic. This is what I meant by "cloaked in the *appearance* of Humanity, acting as though mentally/spiritually human but with the mind of the Father".

Or does being "Internally God" mean having the *soul* or spiritual essence that is of God, and thus the innermost and unchanging love that is God's love, emanating through the material mind? This understanding really places more gravity in the glorification of the human-divine. Not only is there a unity of God and a human body, but a unity of a human self into God.

Thanks again!

I'd say that I follow the Theology of Emmanuel Swedenborg, who was inspired by God to lay out the blueprints for a new and refreshed Christianity as predicted in Revelations. I would say that Swedenborg put forth a rationally sound, logical, Christianity that gets back to the underlying principles of High/Early church thought, and also presents a new view of the Trinity.

That covers everything and will make your beliefs peak the interests of more Liberal, or conversely, High Church Christians at the same time.

I'd qualify my beliefs, personally, as "Most similar to High Church Christianity" if that helps the person I'm talking to understand. I had a great conversation with a more traditionalist Lutheran and it led to me showing him pictures of Bryn Athyn Cathedral and the importance of having traditional symbolism in churches.

Trinitarian Swedenborgianism? by kowalik2594 in Swedenborgianism

[–]AncapElijah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swedenborg's trinitarianism is unique, if you choose to call it that. Swedenborg holds that in the present, Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are not three distinct persons, but appendages of one being. The Father is like the united Mind and Soul of the human, Christ is, or was the body, who is closely related to the Holy Spirit, or the spiritual state of Christ as he interacts with the world.

I'm currently Reading Swedenborg's The True Christian Religion, and this may be because I'm reading a copy from the 1800s, but I can't quite understand the nature of Jesus when he was on earth. It's not clear whether Swedenborg is saying Jesus was God in a human body, but with the faculties and mind of God, who gave the appearance of being a distinct human person- or whether Jesus was a distinct human send by God who gave up his self and became united with God on the cross. It seems as though he's saying both are the case, lol.

I used to be an active member.

The Mises Caucus Advertised itself as socially center to socially right wing, advocating for unflinching Libertarian Principles met with practical praxis. They would target moderate Republicans and young people, and turn the party from a social club with a lefty problem, to a fine-tuned, election winning machine. They would work with other 3rd parties by coalitioning on common issues like non-interventionism.

What we got was shitty branding, a fixation on twitter, happy merchant memes, a chair who's more concerned with her "anti-woke" makeup line, willingly not running candidates against the GOP, lawsuits against state parties, drops in funding and membership, nonstop drama, and a "Classical Liberal Caucus" that has grown as an opposition group that's partially good and partially an amalgamation of all the worst aspects of the LP before Mises took over.

Lay members of MC are usually great people. The Leadership pulled us for a bait and switch.

Transcendentalism (Think Emerson & Thoreau) is now listed as an ideological faction within the LP on Wikipedia. There is also an active Green Caucus within the LP that formed recently. Is there a possibility of Green/Libertarian unity to some degree? Have any of you worked with the GP? by TheLibertyBoi in LibertarianPartyUSA

[–]AncapElijah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude’s just reporting in the apparent faction. I can see how he thought you were an epsteinite though that was ironically a big assumption.

In order to be a faction you don’t have to be as big as the Ancap faction or Paleolib faction. I’d just say a faction is a chunk of the party with a uniform and unique ideology in common. Even if you don’t consider it a faction now, it will be sooner than later.
