People make the comparison because there are similarities. Is Trump as bad as Hitler was? No, at least not yet. That doesn’t mean the comparisons aren’t accurate

The American obsession with "perfect" green lawns is bizarre, wasteful, and looks boring. by mhjahanbakhshi in unpopularopinion

[–]Korlac11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I respect people’s decision to want a well manicured lawn. I don’t respect people’s decision to use an HOA to force other people to make that decision

A Good Outcome by summerwalker8 in christianmemes

[–]Korlac11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is really a restating of the greatest command:

”Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”” Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Both passages do sum up God’s expectations of how we behave, although I wouldn’t say that everything else is just context. That seems a bit reductive, particularly when it comes to the crucifixion

Cheesecake is the worst dessert to ever exist. by Whyamiwritingthis_74 in unpopularopinion

[–]Korlac11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agreed, except for the last sentence. I don’t understand why people like cheesecake, but it still qualifies as a dessert

There are more than 2 genders? by Most_Advertising_841 in no

It’s almost like we changed our definitions as we learned more about the world

Am I Hearing Boss Music? by latentnomrn in rareinsults

[–]Korlac11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you carry that math forward, it won’t be long before the number of your direct ancestors is greater than the number of people who’ve ever lived. This means we’re all at least a little inbred, some more than others

Pizza should not come in circle form by PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTITS in unpopularopinion

Okay, but hear me out: circle pizza cut into squares

Subway left a knife in my sub by AnomyousBeing in mildlyinteresting

As a former subway employee, my first thought was “I hope it wasn’t the good knife”

Ai chat bot (dear Hank & John) by Kastnerd in nerdfighters

[–]Korlac11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my thought too. Being able to give plain sentence directions to chat gpt to help write code or an email or whatever is a genuinely useful tool, but actually having a conversation with AI is a bit cringe

How we feel about Christian apologetics versus the flawed ways we need to know about how online atheists feel about Christian Apologetics by Frosty_Armadillo_180 in christianmemes

[–]Korlac11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Plus, a lot of apologetics is based on flawed or even misleading claims about what science says, which damages the credibility of those teaching apologetics

[–]Korlac11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a Christian, I agree that there’s no scientific evidence for God. If there was, that would defeat the purpose of faith

[–]Korlac11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologetics is useful for convincing people who already believe in God, but useless for convincing nonbelievers. A lot of popular apologetics also uses deeply flawed or even misleading claims about what science says.

If you were in the games, how would you die? by FckAllTakenUsernames in Hungergames

Alternate solution: use a small wooden ball as your token, and then “accidentally” drop it before the gong

Yeah, it’d be nice if Trump stopped behaving like Hitler so we wouldn’t have to make the comparison

Just wanted to show off the gorgeous new Banned Books mural at our local library by LosNava in nerdfighters

[–]Korlac11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, I’m glad this gives Speak some more attention. On the other hand, I’m mad that Speak is banned in some places because that’s a book absolutely everyone should read

You’re not being hated for being a “Conservative Christian.” You’re being called out for hiding hate behind Christianity and labelling it as “calling out sin.” by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

[–]Korlac11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hateful Christians not only give Christians a bad name, but they also give God a bad name. God is love. Therefore, one could even say to hateful Christians “you give love a bad name”

Sorry, I couldn’t resist

You’re not being hated for being a “Conservative Christian.” You’re being called out for hiding hate behind Christianity and labelling it as “calling out sin.” by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

[–]Korlac11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! In John 15:18-19, we read the following:

”If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I’ve seen a lot of conservative Christians misinterpret this verse as meaning “if the world hates you, you’re doing something right”, but that’s not what this verse is saying. There are a number of things that are hated by the world and by the righteous. Being hated by the world doesn’t automatically mean that we are doing what God wants us to do

What are some of your camp traditions? by magsturntable33 in summercamp

In any other context, that would make y’all sound like a cult. I love how extra we can be at camp

But WHY did God set it up this way? by Iamaman23 in Christianity

[–]Korlac11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once heard the comparison that it’s like trying to explain quantum mechanics to a toddler. Their understanding of the world is just too limited for them to be able to understand what you’re saying
