  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.

  Ladies and gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With great power comes great responsibility, but small accountability.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it “to own the libs”.

  Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.

  A. Off is an autoantonym. You can turn a light off, meaning deactivate it, or you can set a bomb off, meaning activate it.

  B. The worst one: inflammable == flammable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In almost 100% of scenarios that I can think of, the underdog is always the "good guy"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s a big element of selective memory here. We love hearing about underdog stories, because they’re such a good show of courage, selflessness, and other great virtues. This means we are more likely to remember the parts of history where the underdog is the good guy.

  On the other hand, I think you do have a point. Those who have the hardest fight to make the change they want, are the most likely to do it for selfless reasons. It makes much more sense to put yourself at risk if you aren’t fighting for yourself. So while wrong but well-meaning underdogs seem possible to me, actually bad people who just want to be on top aren’t likely to take the underdog route.

  No. There’s always another chance. As long as at least one person is capable of thinking against fascism, there’s still hope.

  But don’t take this as an excuse to do nothing. Every chance to push back that is missed is more damage done.
