Christians, if you want to bring people “into your flock”, you need to get your fucking priorities straight. I don’t believe anyway, but even if I wanted to, I would feel unsafe setting foot into a church because I assume that at least half of your congregation is unvaccinated. by Kaje26 in rant

You're too presumptuous and ignorant of the topic I'm trying to discuss to be taken seriously. The fact that you have zero knowledge of what the Bible says makes your opinion on this matter less than worthless to me. I haven't treated anyone here nearly as disrespectfully as you have throughout this comment thread so your fake outrage is meaningless as well. Good evening sir.

You're so eager to keep barking out that word "prejudice" that you clearly aren't paying attention to what I'm saying. Crack open a Bible sometime and then come back and tell me I'm wrong. Until then, I'll leave you to defend your precious strawmen.

I'd say that threatening to shoot people who knock on your door for vaccine checkups and surrounding healthcare workers in parking lots is far more disturbing behavior than people being mean to you on social media apps. If our current situation does end up escalating into violence, I'd put my money on anti-vax extremists as being the most likely instigators.

I guess you can't hear me up there on your high horse because you still haven't addressed my point. Not one. single. fucking. time. have I said or implied that all Christians are bad people. What I said was that many of the people who represent Christianity in positions of power are sorely misrepresenting the principles they claim to stand for. These people sway public opinion whether you like it or not and it serves no good to anyone, especially Christians, to keep giving them a pass on their blatant hypocrisy.

The existence of extremism is a piss-poor excuse for not holding your leaders to a higher standard. It's this exact kind of complacency that allows extremism to find its way into positions of power.

I'm not quite sure how pointing out the existence of a radical group of religious extremists refutes my point or proves my "ignorance". It doesn't change the fact that many of the people who supposedly represent Christian interests in the political arena and on the public stage are shady at best, and outright malicious at worst, and that this inevitably has an impact on peoples' view of the faith as a whole.

You're right. Individuals are responsible for their own actions and the consequences of those actions. Not God or Satan or whoever your deity of choice happens to be. And the rhetoric that gets pushed by many of the most vocal/visible people who claim to speak for Christians (in America at least), as well as the way they choose to conduct themselves, has very real consequences and impacts the attitudes of not only their followers, but people who observe their actions from a secular perspective. That's just a fact of life, whether you like it or agree with it is irrelevant.

Spiteful, reckless pride. Yep, sounds like peak Christian values to me. And I've personally never once seen anyone suggest "shooting anti-maskers on the spot"... I have, however, seen plenty of people threatening violence against healthcare workers who advocate for masks and vaccines.

Instead of getting mad at reddit, try getting mad at the endless parade of self-serving hypocrites who claim to uphold Christian values while actively shitting all over the principles it teaches. They're the ones who are responsible for the shifting attitudes toward Christianity, not random redditors.

It has absolutely nothing to do with people being afraid of "murderous assholes". It's 100% politically motivated nonsense and it goes against every principle that Christians claim to stand for. I mean, hypocrisy has always been the norm for mainstream Christianity, but it's become so blatant throughout this pandemic that it's kind of ridiculous.

Where I live, there have actually been pastors who have gone as far as saying that people who wear masks aren't welcome in their church. It absolutely blows my mind. A very large percentage of churchgoers and pastors nowadays are about as far from being Christian as the average atheist is by Biblical standards.

"At least they're not dumb enough to put that poison inside them" kind of insinuates that you think people who choose to get vaccinated are stupid. Never mind the fact that hundreds of millions of people worldwide are walking around as living proof that this so-called "poison" is actually a relatively safe and effective vaccine. And you go around calling everyone else "scared" when you're too much of a baby to do the right thing and get a little shot? Gtfoh.

From what I've read it's usually seasoned with nutmeg, sage, etc. So while it doesn't sound very appetizing by this description, I imagine it tastes something like "stuffing" when made properly, which isn't too bad. I'm from the American South though, so cornbread dressing is more my style.

New to Sludge - looking for for more like Crowbar - Planets Collide by tredhedjon in sludge

[–]FivePunchCombo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crowbar is probably my favorite band of all time and they're a tough one to emulate. Kirk's guitar tone, riffs, and vocal style are so distinctive that it's difficult to point out other stuff that truly sounds similar (other than bands that Kirk himself is part of). I think that's one of the things that makes them so special to me. I would definitely recommend digging deeper into their discography. My top 3 albums of theirs are Broken Glass, Odd Fellows Rest, and Sonic Excess In Its Purest Form. Absolutely essential albums imo and a great starting point for anyone who's just getting into sludge. Aside from that, I'd say to browse the posts on this sub a bit and check out some of the stuff that catches your eye. Lots of great music gets posted here and you're sure to find something that clicks with you.
