- Comment on If Christians were real, they’d be lining up to post for their sins (not trying to avoid judgement). 5 days ago:
The best I can do to make sense of what you’re saying is that you’re looking at some of the worst of church leaders (eg. MAGA pastors in America, historical popes, etc), and seeing Christianity as that. If I’ve got that wrong, please correct me.
If that’s what you’re saying, that’s a massive over generalization, to the point where it’s willful. I do agree that there are church leaders out there who see leading a congregation purely as a way to gain some authority, but that is far from all of Christianity.

they’d be lining up to pay for their sins
The whole point of Christianity is we don’t have to do that. Sure, we need to repent and do what we can to avoid sin, but the actual paying for it has been done by Jesus.

- Comment on Everyone uses 4d chess as the example of more intense gambits when 3d chess should suffice because chess is a 2d game 2 weeks ago:
In normal chess, time doesn’t really exist in the normal way that a dimension works. Using one or more time dimensions in a game means you need to be able to control some movement along that axis. In normal chess, every piece moves one “space” (for lack of a better word) forward in time with each move.
If you want to actually see time dimensions being used in a game, try playing 5d chess with multiverse time travel

the whole point is to follow the laws of a book
No. The whole point is a relationship with God. The reason we read the Bible is to learn more about God. The Bible isn’t an instruction manual, it’s a biography of God and his people.

- Comment on With great power comes great responsibility, but small accountability. 4 weeks ago:
Probably “with great power comes no accountability, and therefore great responsibility”. It’s the lack of accountability that means responsibility is needed.

- Comment on The rise of far-right political support among the rich is partly a diversion, so that people start getting more upset at the far right than at being exploited by the rich 1 month ago:
A. Opposing far right policy is opposing rich people. They’re choosing policy that let’s them exploit more people with less consequences.
B. You can be upset at multiple things at once. There’s good reason to be against the general “right wing voter” mentality as well as wealth inequality.

Mate, have you seen the shit he has retweeted saying he agrees? A bunch of replacement theory shit, heaps of antisemitic shit, and a while much of other racist shit.
that many Democrat leaders have made as well
If you watch the videos of those Democrat leaders, it’s pretty clear they’re waving to a crowd. Elon’s one was obviously a nazi salute.
wasteful government spending
Ah yes, wasteful stuff like vital medicine distribution and humanitarian aid, and really lowering the deficit by cutting taxes on big corporations, and giving contracts to his own company.
- Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell? 1 month ago:
A lot of people today can barely learn one language. You’re suggesting that an entire religion’s followers learn Ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, all 3 in dialects that are 2000 years old at the latest. I’m pretty sure God will accept whatever language people happen to read the Bible in.
That said, you do get so much more depth out of the Bible when you look at the original language. From Eve being made from Adam’s side, not just a rib, to King James hiding that God will protect you from the tyrant. I’d love to dive into the original language more, but I’m far from a linguist.
- Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell? 1 month ago:
I can’t say for sure what religion you’re talking about, so I don’t know much of the religious context for this definition of heaven and hell. My issue with this definition is emotions are so much more complex than “happy is good, sad is bad”. A lot of people who have dealt with depression (including myself) will tell you that it’s far worse to feel nothing at all. I’d much rather feel the sorrow or hate, and have help from God to work through those feelings.
I find the Christian (specifically protestant Arminian, and yes that is my religion) answer to this question much better. Basically, hell is the other option to heaven. Heaven is where God is fully present, so there must be somewhere else for those who reject God to go. That place must be fully apart from God, otherwise he would not be honoring their decision, and so he would not be all loving.

If Pepycito is right, they might be employed as police officers, but they’re not currently working as officers. I’m no expert on US law, so I don’t know if that actually counts as impersonation, but knowing the US it proposal doesn’t matter since it wouldn’t be enforced anyway.
