- Comment on When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible? 17 hours ago:
I reject the idea that there is a correct way to read the Bible or worship Jesus. I certainly prefer liberation theology to prosperity Gospel, but I cannot say that one is doing Christianity better than the other.
I used to be Christian and I had all kinds of ideas about what was correct Christianity. I abandoned all that when I realized that those conceptions were much more about me than they were about Jesus or the Bible.
And I think that’s true of the practicing faithful. Some are good, some are wicked, but the difference isn’t in how they read the Bible, it’s who is reading the Bible.

The phone was probably stolen from a protestor they were investigating and the bust was coincidental.

- Comment on For when arguments go off the bottom of The Debate Pyramid 5 days ago:
The problem with human rights is that they function as the justification for State violence. “We’re arresting you to protect property rights”. “We’re invading you to free your people from oppression”. I can’t think of a modern conflict that doesn’t have a “human rights” casus belli.
Even your comment follows the form: I can suspend human rights to protect human rights.

- Comment on Opinions on Jurassic Park as a Zoo 1 week ago:
I have always hated the “mr. DNA” cartoon. Because everything in that “ride” is just a flattened exposition dump / cheap setup for what was a revelation or twist in the book.
- Comment on Preppers helped fulfill their own prophecy 1 week ago:
Prepping is a fad popularized by the zombie movie fad of the 2000s.
99% of “societal collapse” scenarios are going to be like 1946 Germany or 1989 Soviet Union, not 28days later. And in the 1% scenarios, people who care about their loved ones should keep euthanasia supplies, not food and guns.

- Comment on Palingenetic Ultranationalism is a concise definition of fascism coined by political theorist Roger Griffin 2 weeks ago:
Palingenetic means rebirth or renewal. The Italian fascists claimed that they would return to the glory of Rome. Hitler’s “Third Reich” implies a return to the first two great periods of German history under Frederick the Great and Bismark.
So fascists are ultranationalists who promise a return to greatness. This definition is unsatisfying because while these characteristics are universal to fascists, they’re not sufficient to describe any particular version of fascism.
