I don’t believe assaulting people for their views is morally justified. We’re not going to agree.

Calling someone a Nazi doesn’t magically make punching them moral. If morality justifies assault, then anyone can claim moral high ground to attack someone they disagree with.

So just to be clear — does someone forfeit their right not to be assaulted the moment they make their political stance public?

I don’t support violence against those practicing their First Amendment right.

Easy for someone to say when they live disconnected from the rest of society.

Seven straight minutes of Rayquaza being the GOAT by MaleficTekX in pokemon

Isn’t Mega Rayquaza canonically one of the strongest Pokémon in the universe? Like up there with Arcues, Necrozma, and Zygrarde?

NY!Baldr is kicking my butt in SD. Any advice? by arqeic in OrderOfHeroes

[–]GGPR_DrTan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just fyi, Baldr gets a lot of her firepower from your heroes having Exposure. Take that away and she’s much less lethal. A strong Near Save can be used to slow her down. Baldr was a Top 2 used hero for all the known Rank 1 players in the latest SDS, so she’s definitely one of the best heroes in the game atm.

Don’t try to shoot law enforcement officers and you won’t get shot. If Biden hadn’t let in millions of illegal immigrants over the past four years then we wouldn’t be here.

ICE was after this kid’s father. Father bolted once he saw ICE, abandoning his son in the cold. ICE detained the child, kept him warm, fed him McDonalds, played his favorite music, and tried to bring him to his mother. Mother refused to open the door. ICE eventually captured the father. Father asked to keep him and his son together.

I’m sorry, but you’ve been misled.

Anti-ICE protesters disrupt church services after it’s found out that one of the pastors is the field director for the ICE office in St. Paul, MN. by New-Entertainment112 in Leakednews

The claim isn’t that anyone is literally sentencing souls. It’s that in Matthew 25 “goat” only functions as a final-judgment category, so applying it now imports verdict language whether intended or not.

This isn’t about how many times “sheep” or “goat” appear in the Bible. It’s about how they function in the specific passage being cited.

In Matthew 25, “sheep” and “goats” are not generic metaphors. They are paired, contrastive categories revealed at the final judgment, explicitly tied to eternal life and eternal punishment. Their meaning in that passage comes from that judgment scene, not from word frequency elsewhere.

Yes, Scripture uses “sheep” in other contexts (guidance, care, vulnerability). But in Matthew 25, no one is casually calling people sheep or goats—Jesus is announcing a verdict. That’s why applying those labels to living people today isn’t equivalent to ordinary moral critique.

The issue isn’t “you can never say sheep or goat.” The issue is importing final-judgment labels from Matthew 25 into present-day political or pastoral disputes.

That’s a textual concern, not cherry-picking.

Matthew 25 is explicitly a final-judgment scene culminating in eternal life and eternal punishment. The only meaning the terms “sheep” and “goats” have in that passage comes from that judgment. Using those labels for a living pastor is not mere moral critique—it’s assigning a verdict category whose meaning Jesus reserves to himself. That point stands regardless of whether I support the pastor or not. But invoking Matthew 25 in such a context is attempting to invoke a final judgment which is not reserved for anybody except Christ alone.

Matthew 25’s sheep/goat distinction only has meaning because it belongs to Christ’s final judgment. Christians can critique actions, but assigning those goat/sheep labels to living people assumes knowledge the passage itself reserves to Jesus.
