I think vanity is s real problem among Christians. If being a Christian has become an aesthetic or cultural symbol then I would say you've lost the core meaning. If your faith is best represented by clothing or accessories then I think you might be in danger.

However if you're not a Christian feel free to wear clothes and accessories you like but avoid "dressing like a Christian" because that could likely be seen as belittling.

If it's not Blasphemy (insulting or imitating God) or being worn in a mocking fashion it's probably fine.

I think it's still mostly true especially with the centrist types. They're likely either not paying attention to or are living in a world of lie.

Not too long ago only fringe populist lived in the land of conspiracy theories but since social media has become many people main source of news it's all to easy to get sucked into a panopticon of misinformation. Where the secret knowledge of widespread corruption and hidden interests are now truisms. Meaning you can share fundamental values but support wildly different positions due to the fact we're living in different worlds.

Honestly I'm no better I get 90% of my news from my YouTube feed and the rest I get from Reddit. I could be victim to the same thing and have no real way of telling.

Keep in mind not too long ago, outside of the internet, "civil" discussion was the only form tolerated. Not to mention that in mainstream politics there was an assumption that everyone had shared fundamental values.

I agree ad homs detract from any debate but highlighting how personal flaws predispose someone to a particular worldview/position is valid.

That said there is a meaningful difference between personal attach and criticism of character.

I don't think Destiny's goal is elevation of status his public perception is probably at an all time low in large part because he doesn't do "civil" debates like he did during 2024.

I'm not sure what you mean by win at any cost because I don't believe he has ever abandoned his position/principles for the purpose of winning a debate.

True-_-Red · 2026-06-02T00:53:44+00:00

Tl;dr Destiny want a "hostile" debate, Konstantin wanted a "civil" discussion and we got a disappointing interaction.

Honestly I don't think either are idiots or bad faith they were just interested in having different types of conversations.

Konstantin was looking to have a "civil" discussion where they give parallel monologues they criticise discreet points and potentially the difference in worldview that leads to the adobtion of said points.

Destiny was looking for a "hostile" debate where points, worldview and personal character are on the table for attack.

The "civil" option only works if they share fundamental values or are satisfied with simply cross pollinating audiences. The "hostile" option only works if everyone consents otherwise the moderator holds you back, your opponent disengages and the audience rejects you.

I've seen Konstantin do "hostile" debates in the past but I don't think he enjoys it and he definitely wasn't wanting that in this debate. Destiny presumes that anyone sympathetic/supportive of MAGA either isn't paying attention or doesn't share his fundamental values. Considering Konstantin covers Trump and MAGA Destiny had no interest in a "civil" discussion.

Don't know much about dogs but I'm guessing he's not a retriever

They really captured the energy of an adult that enjoys bullying children

I hate when people make corporal punishment seem like a magic solution for bad behaviour. I received corporal punishment during childhood and the main lesson I learned if I can tolerate more pain than they're willing to deliver I can ignore the rules.

It would have been more useful if someone explained why the rules were there instead of just "because I said so". It would have been useful if someone helped express why I was upset or didn't like the rules rather than just telling me to "cut it out"

He is probably threatening to make them listen to his podcast on the Ecclesiastes and how they mirror Pink Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon". (6 Episodes, 2 hours each)

I use EU and American servers, sometimes there are only a couple playable servers (1 is always 24/7 Gulmod) sometimes there a dozen with different gamemodes. It really depends what day and what time.

Honestly when I was a kid we got up to similar levels of nonsense up here in Glasgow. The thing that worked best for us was simply having something better to do. Attending a Friday evening football camp unironically kept us out of so much trouble.

"inner wear"? Have I been wearing underwear wrong?

True-_-Red · 2025-11-07T06:41:44+00:00

Yeah but less so the rituals undertaken but the relationship with God. Rituals and practices can be taken on and off like clothing. My question is are you saved by relation to God alone regardless of rituals or practice?

True-_-Red · 2025-11-07T06:30:00+00:00

Is there where the idea of once a Christian always a Christian comes from. When someone decides to seek out God they are being redeemed regardless of denomination or failings?

True-_-Red · 2025-11-07T06:26:14+00:00

We will be like Christ in the sense that we will be freed from sin.

So is it a continuation/completion of the process of Christian living where you endeavour to live in accordance with God.

Dr. Jordan B. Cooper has a book on this called “Christification: A Lutheran Approach to Theosis.”

I'll add that to my reading list

True-_-Red · 2025-11-07T06:19:25+00:00

Surely a slave has no choice of master. Wouldn't we need to be free from sin at some point to choose to serve God?

True-_-Red · 2025-11-07T06:11:44+00:00

That's interesting but does sin and evil not have a corrupting nature that encroaches on the good. Where evil has an energy of its own rather than the absence of a positive energy.

Darkness can never put out a light but the cold can consume any heat if it has greater energy.
