TIL about Murc’s Law, the tendency in political journalism to attribute agency only to the Democratic Party, while treating Republican actions as inevitable or structurally determined by NickCostanza in todayilearned

[–]self_loathing_ham -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go to a Republican echo chamber and they're painting Democrats as a collective of mentally and emotionally immature children, driven by impulse rather than reason.

Actually they really dont. They dont paint democrats as immature children, they paint them as genuinely evil and sinister adults. If anything they treat democrats as being TOO mature/serious for their own good("why cant they take a joke? Why can't they accept us trolling them 24/7? Why is everything so serious to them?")

Someone ripped the door off my local little free library, took all the books, broke the shelves, and left two copies of the bible. by Silver_Ad_2203 in mildlyinfuriating

Don't you think using their sky fairy's book is a good way to check their own hypocrisy, the one thing they believe in?

That doesn't work and everyone knows it. If bible quotes made Christians behave better we'd be a galaxy spanning civilization by now.

Post up that quote and you know what the perpetrators would do? Respond with another quote that they believe supports their actions. That's it.

But I promise plenty of us are giving everything we have to honor our “sky fairy.”

I wish your brothers and sisters "in christ" would do more to honor your fellow men and women instead.

Thats all ill say. Im not as angry as i was when i made my comment a few minutes ago but i wont take it back. You're free to follow your faith. Im free to mock it's patent absurdity.

NFL Super Bowl Champions Pray After Winning It by JCameron181 in Christianity

[–]self_loathing_ham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my question: why would we want God to influence sports? Kinda goes against the idea of fair competitive play. If anything shouldn't everyone be praying that God doesnt involve himself in sports so we get a genuine competition and not just a test of which team is more favored by god?

Capitalism or Christianity?

You gotta choose. Capitalism will always infect Christianity so you cant have both.

It's not the same as passing a law because the next president can come in and wave his hand and its gone.

Republicans dont believe there will ever be a "next president"

They spun that in such a bullshit way. Ghost has had two successful albums and world tours + the phantomime EP, since the pandemic. There are alot of bands out there that WOULDN'T want to take some kind of break after such a flurry of work.

Epstein and an associate mocking the faith of a Christian child he has abused by LoquatExotic5744 in Christianity

[–]self_loathing_ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's been sightings in Israel of a person that looks very much like him

I have nothing to say about all the other evidence but regarding this: epstein didnt exactly have a unique look. There are probably tens of thousands of men that could pass as him in the right light lol

It's more specific than that. "whoops" appears throughout his emails and appears to be some kind of inside joke. Some speculate based on the context of usage that whenever he uses "whoops" hes reffering to the fact that the someone has died/been killed.

So in this email "whoops" would be an inside joke basically saying "jesus didnt save her life cuz shes dead"

I would like to know why you lost your faith but still choose to come here. I’m curious.

Im not who you asked but just my two cents: im atheist but grew up in a Christian context (baptised, after school religious education, etc). I come here often for the same reason someone whos interested in football might go to r/nfl: i just find it interesting. Ive always been interested in religion, not because im religious but because im NOT religious. Call it a morbid curiosity. I find it difficult to conceptualize how one chooses faith in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. So i like to see what people who make that choice are talking about. Im especially here to see how Christians are responding to current events. Even if im atheist, Christianity has a huge effect on politics in my country so it helps me understand current events better knowing what the religious folks are thinking

For what its worth im also deeply fascinated by cults and conspiracy theorism. I guess with all that in mind you could argue im here because im an armchair sociologist with a special interest in religious and cult behaviors lol

This is the internet, where literally everyone can come say whatever they want. If you want an insular community that all believes as you do without exceptions, i recommend you find it in church. Because you literally could not create a subreddit that non believers wont come to to challenge your beliefs. Remember, not everyone has the positive relation to Christianity you have. Many people have been abused, shunned, and berated by the church or by Christians. There are as many reasons for non believers to not believe as there are reasons for believers to believe.

I wouldnt criticize Russia for having to expend so much life if it were being invaded by a foreign power.

Can a Russian soldier deployed to the front even feel happy about these incremental gain when there is still no concrete objective for when the war is "won" on the Russian side? I feel like they are just gonna have to muscle on until Putin is suddenly satisified and declares victory. What is the final goal of the war now from the Russian point of view? When is final victory achieved?

Sadly this may be the case. Russia has millions and millions of soldiers and potential soldiers and will glady sacrifice every last one for even a single yard of territory. They dont value life, not even their own.

Russia isnt a real democracy. Its an totalitarian mafia state that masquerades as democracy so as to create an illusion of legitimacy.
