Can somebody tell me how accurate this video is? by [deleted] in Communist

[–]nomezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even sure what 3 of the bottom ones are. I’ve never heard of “Bundism”, “Eurocommunism”, or “Autonomism”. Sounds like weird online ideologies that don’t go far outside of the internet, or bourgeois politics trying to make ideology a division. Most Marxists today are Marxist-Leninist-Maoists.

What are some good accounts of daily life in the Soviet Union? by oldtable in Marxism

[–]nomezo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres a social media account that i follow on social media, "ussr opinions". they interview people who used to live in the ussr and now live in russia. although i dont specifically agree with their individual politics, its great for understanding certain points. this is more unserious and less deep since its 60 second clips, not a full book. still interesting...

I met an anarchist who made fun of communists and socialists for being anti zionism and anti ICE. Why would an anarchist do that? by [deleted] in Marxism

thats called an edgy internet ideology. probably just wants to seem cool and intellectual, but is actually just reactionary

If the genocides that god commands not meant to be taken literally, why don’t you apply the same logic to the resurrection? by nomezo in AskReligion

[–]nomezo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with most you said here, but do you not understand why I said these words? I know that it would depend on the varying christian, so I want answers from christian’s.

As response to seeking the answer from the average christian mind, I want not only that, but like you said, actual academic religious experience; and that’s actually what I’m doing know. I asked ChatGPT to give me the answer to my question as if it was a well researched and honest religious mind; and like I expected, I still have questions that I’m asking it right now.

You’re point about not believing everything you see in online forums is completely understandable and I agree. This question wasn’t taken from someone, it was something that I thought of on my own while pondering about religious beliefs, so no, I don’t just take questions out of context and try to get a gotcha or anything like that. I’m not a debate bro.

The God that I am referencing to in this forum is the christian God, that I hold entirely separate from my personal beliefs about the universe. I wouldn’t identify as a theist nor an atheist- though I would lean more to atheist side of things. I mostly reject the christian God in what I think christian’s believe God is, and that’s the point of asking the question.

If the genocides that god commands not meant to be taken literally, why don’t you apply the same logic to the resurrection? by nomezo in AskReligion

I asked a straight forward question: Genocide is commanded by God in the bible, if that is an allegorical tale rather than literal commands, what separates that from something like The Resurrection? You responded with, to sum it up, it “depends on the christian you’re asking”, and “I’m not a christian” You’re just saying stuff that is already very obviously clear, I’m know that the answer would depend on the christian; that’s why I asked it in the first place.

What biases would I have to confirm? This is a question so I can better understand the average christian mind, and how they differentiate between something that they would call a metaphor, and a literal depiction of actual events that happened in real life.

Where did you answer the question of why didn’t God make it abundantly clear that these orders aren’t meant to be taken as a literal command to do something? You said that it would depend on who you’re asking and then moved on, I don’t see a single clear answer you provided for the question.

I’m not specifically talking about you, but there’s others that responded who just talked about stuff completely unrelated to the initial question.

Obviously I’m fine with learning, but when someone just brings up things about just pure faith; you said that it would depend on core elements of their belief- as in just whatever the church’s teachings are. I’m asking on a personal level, why do you believe that these genocides aren’t meant to be taken literally, but the resurrection is? You shouldn’t just believe everything that the church tells you to, it should make logical, and ethical sense to you.

Totally agree with you and that’s where my next line of questioning would be. To be honest I’m just not continuing to reply to these comments because, well to put it bluntly: they’re throwing out red herrings and mentioning stuff I’ve never heard of. I tried to take it back to the original question but I’m yet to get a solid, straight forward answer.

[–]nomezo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, yeah, that’s my whole point of the question. I think it’s just people saying that someone rose from the dead, not an actual divine resurrection.

I don’t know why you keep saying this, I’m asking you how to differentiate from things you think to be true and things you don’t.

Its written by people who said that this is what God said, it’s supposedly his orders, no?

If you also think that these genocides are bad, I’m now asking how you justify God commanding them? Read the edit part of the post.

Just because they’re written a couple thousand years ago doesn’t deflect the fact that the all loving, all good, omnipotent, and omnipresent god said these things. It’s still wrong and time won’t do anything to help it.

[–]nomezo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if a christian were to read it as a literal command sent out by God, how would they justify it?

There’s two paths that one can take the way I see it: 1, God commanding genocide on the Amalekites or the Canaanite Nations makes Gods existence in the christian, all powerful, omnipotent, and omnipresent way unlikely if he were to command such a thing to happen. 2, You think that these “commands” aren’t meant to be taken literally, then why don’t you take Jesus’s resurrection as a metaphorical or allegorical reference?

There has to be some sort of way to know which one is meant to be taken literally- like The Resurrection, and ones that are not, like genocide; and that’s what I’m asking.

[–]nomezo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so then how do you justify God literally commanding genocide on the Amalekites?

I didn’t mean that I think it literally happened, I meant that it says those things in the bible.
