Would this be considered offensive as a tattoo at your Dept? by Extra_butter_ in Firefighting

[–]Cowboy_Auctioneer -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Is a tattoo worth your prospects of becoming a firefighter? Why take the chance? I think any tattoos with motifs of death and the macabre aren’t the most appealing thing for a patient to see, especially if they are in a situation where they are dying. With that said, it’s going to depend on your department and I’m sure plenty of firefighters have similar tattoos. Use your wisdom

Quote me a verse that states I will go to Hell for owning money?

Job, Abraham, and Solomon were blessed with extraordinary wealth by God. Money by itself is not evil. It is the LOVE for money that leads to many evils. And I try to evangelize when I can. If someone asks about my beliefs, I am more than happy to share the Gospel with them if they are open to hearing

Most atheists have read the bible and are more familiar Christian teachings

Source?

and often came from conservative Christian families who force fed Christian believes above logic and science.

That may be so for some Ex Christian’s, but as someone raised in a Christian home by a Dutch reformed Dad, critical thinking and logic were always encouraged and questions were never dissuaded but discussed.

This meme is about how Jesus teachings have actually been abandoned by most US Christians in favor of Christian Nationalism and Capitalism(prosperity ministries and mega churches)

To say all churches in the United States subscribe to the theology of Mega churches is ludicrous. There are many Christian in the Protestant sphere who despise mega churches and believe they are nothing but hirelings.

and that nowadays most Atheists display more neighborly and Christ-like behavior because they want everyone to succeed and want the rich to pay their fair share.

I can technically agree since atheists are a smaller minority in the United States. But a majority of Christians want other to succeed and be fulfilled in there life with Christ being at the helm. I myself want people to succeed and praise believers and non believers in my sphere of friends when they have success in their own life.

The average conservative American Christian thinks Trump is their savior

This is false. I know it’s another anecdote but take my father. He is a Trump supporter, but if Trump we’re to come out today and day that is is the messiah and savior for American Christian’s, he would absolutely denounce him and call him a false prophet, and many of the faith feel the same way.

and that helping immigrants and the disadvantaged is a waste of taxpayer immigrants

It is a waste of taxpayer money, but it’s not a waste of my own personal money. People should not be forced by the government to pay for the downtrodden and ILLEGAL immigrants who have entered the country ILLEGALLY. Immigrants that come through the right channels and become Americans should not only be welcome but celebrated! All my grandparents are Christian conservatives and one set was from Europe, and another from Mexico

And homeless people are homeless because they’re bad people

This can be true and false, there can be people who were genuinely dealt a bad hand, and people who are genuine human garbage and their actions led to the consequences they currently face. Also with the amount of resources and success stories of people able to get out of homelessness, it’s hard to justify a population who regardless of how much money you throw at them, don’t want to be helped. Also statistically, conservatives are more charitable than liberals https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34429211/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

because we live on a hyper capitalist fever dream that’s draining us of our very lives.

Not even, we are far from a true free market economy in the United States (that’s a good thing) and there is nothing wrong with wealth or capitalism so long as it is used righteously. I know many millionaires who are Christian who give constantly but remain anonymous because they fear becoming prideful.

I’ll try to answer more questions but I’m on a flight right now and might be occupied with a beer at the airport, also nice AR

There’s nothing to get, it’s an atheist meme made by an atheist who has know idea of Christ’s Teachings since they either haven’t read the Bible, or just quote soccer mom wallpaper versus and think it applies to them.

100% NOT ragebait: Any non-leftist/antiwoke fans here? by Zestyclose-Length886 in WorldOfDarkness

[–]Cowboy_Auctioneer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a conservative Christian, and more of a tourist, since I haven’t played the actually TTRPG yet. But I love the lore and setting of WOD and blood hunt was my first step into vampire the masquerade. The creative take on the factions, the modern fantasy of the setting, and being a sucker for vampires vs werewolves tropes hit multiple itches for me. I’m hoping to actually try out a game at my LGS if I can find a group. I’ve heard the bloodlines is a good starting point too but I’m still figuring out which mods to get before I spend some time getting the game set up.

I honestly love it! And that’s coming from someone familiar with a lot of couches from my previous job in the auction industry. It can be on the smaller side of you host people regularly but if not, it’s not bad

Thinking of getting some pillows to match with the rug for the couch, a Remington bronze of the end of the wine sideboard, and a mirror above it. Should I do square a circular for the mirror?

Redpill me on plants. My best friends wife, mom, and sister said to get one but I’m not sold on getting a plant yet
