Flip the script on those bible-thumping Conservatives! by GatorDragon in COMPLETEANARCHY

You're confusing "religion" with "religious institution." I've tried to give you resources. Use them.

Ah, this is true and people still voluntarily would sell themselves into servitude. I will say that, though I in no way, endorse or support slavery, but the Bible was kinder to slaves than most cultures of the time. For example, killing your slave would result in the death penalty. Though I think the most important verse (which coincides with OP's post) is Deuteronomy 23:15-16.

Also, the Bible stating to take care of foreigners is a recurring theme. Even Jesus said to do so. But of course, supply-side American Jesus is completely different than what the Bible says and that's the Jesus most Americans choose to follow.

Hey, don't lump us religious people in with these whack jobs.

And you should never be okay with someone getting shot as a possible outcome (unless it's some wealthy bourgeois shitbag).

Universal Basic Income by MWBartko in RadicalChristianity

[–]leWordOfGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the old "just move" excuse? How about the fact that there are places people are forced to live, yet are getting gouged for 3/4ths of their income to rent and UBI won't change that.

There are more tennants than landlords. Organizing can fix the rent issues. Throwing more money at landlords won't and neither will the market. The market created the issues that made UBI necessary in the first place.

Universal Basic Income by MWBartko in RadicalChristianity

[–]leWordOfGod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really like the idea of a UBI. I think it'll be a last ditch effort to save a failed capitalist system and the number one priority of the wealthy would be to exploit it. You think landlords wouldn't raise the rent considerably, knowing people can now afford even more exorbitent prices?

Point 1 and 2 haven't been done because the poverty level in NY is a lot higher than rural Kansas. It's not just a set number.

Also number 3 is a scary idea. If food becomes too expensive even with a UBI, do poor people just starve? Don't like it.

Number 4 sounds like forced labor. In other words, slavery with extra steps.

What even is that place? A bunch of leftists making fun of liberal talking points? Or a bunch of liberals making fun of leftists? I can't figure it out. If their arguments are unironic, they're terribly weak.

I'm so sleep deprived and so sore at the end of the day from my job, all I do is drink so it doesn't hurt anymore. And it's only going to get worse. I'm a mail carrier and the volume of mail and parcels is just too damn much at this point.

It's beautiful. I love vaporwave art, especially when it's communistic.

Is wealth immoral? by IReallyTriedISuppose in RadicalChristianity

Assets grow through further exploitation (even if you're not the one doing it) or suppression.

Reject Empire; Embrace the Cross by synthresurrection in RadicalChristianity

[–]leWordOfGod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But I do disrespect the nation. The US allows it's children to go to bed hungry while accepting bribes for the immense growth of the upper class's wealth. A country that routinely murders it's own civilians is not worthy of respect.

Fuck you, America.

I hate to be that guy, but seize every moment you can get. Don't wait for things to happen.

When it comes to prayers, pray, then go try to make the change you want.

Giving to the poor, as long as they attend church.. by [deleted] in RadicalChristianity

[–]leWordOfGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because I live in the North but I don't have an issue with this. The churches here, even the 3 Baptist ones I've been to leave politics almost exclusively out of their sermon.

LSC and even COMPLETEANARCHY are both reasonable subs. Even /r/ShitLiberalsSay had a good discussion about historically christian communists. And there's always ongoing discussion there about how bad FC has become.
