The Democrats won’t do jack. Look at their current lack of action.

It’s because they are there to act as a sounding board, not to take away executive power from your mind. You need to come to your own conclusions in life, in order to have peace.

Books are where it’s at!

This is the best graphical representation of media spin that I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing this.

Nor do I, hence why I’ve chosen to live a quiet life, and avoid the Romanization of the belief system and instead follow Jesus. Might I ask where you stand in matters of a systematic worldview?

So is every other philosophical and metaphysical concept nowadays, or so it seems. For example, what do you believe in as a person? Guaranteed it had and currently has bad faith practictioners of the faith or philosophy. Therefore it really does come down to individual actions. Or should I lump you in with those that follow your particular outlook?

Did you maybe stop to think about my words and what I said? Maybe you can infer from my statements that I think all of that activity from ancient times to today was utterly disgusting? Maybe I’m conducting myself in the way Christians should have conducted themselves, rather than falling prey to the call of temporal power? Maybe you shouldn’t judge a whole group of people as a monolith, and look at the individuals in front of you, and act accordingly? All I’m asking is to be treated as a human with dignity, like I will treat everyone in front of me.

This is the thing, we’re all supposed to share our life stories with one another, we’re a social species, it’s hardwired into us.

All of us should have some tact, and not bash each other over the skulls with our beliefs or our fists. Mr. Rogers is a model to aspire to as a person. He was a modern example of what a Christian should be. (He was a Presbyterian minister)

Romans 12:18 - If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Another precept for us to live by. Do not confuse style with intent. I’m attempting to keep the sand on my feet.

The worst we had to worry about is Y2K, and we got Office Space because of it. Yes please.

I believe we should share our faith too, but a huge part of how we share that is the verse right before your last Scripture quote.

James 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Actions speak louder than words. You can show your faith far better by living the Word, rather than giving it lip service.

Matthew 15:8-9 ‘These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.’ They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.

Anyhow, I’ve said my piece on it, take it how you will. I hope you have a good evening!

Excellent, I can be happy to have my faith, and you can be happy without having it. That’s totally fine. I just hope that you enjoy the rest of your night!

Have you ever considered that the faith has been misinterpreted in order to serve their temporal needs? Therefore, the way they are spreading it is wrong? Aka. all that colonizing crap and the ways of Empire?

Why represent the lack of a God as something to aspire for? If it’s all headcanon, then what does it matter what I believe, as long as I’m not forcing it down your throat, which I’m not. I’m merely having a conversation about it, just like you are with me.

I’m not pandering, I just think that instead of beating you over the head with something you don’t want to hear, I should be more concerned with actually attempting to become a good person and act with kindness towards others.

Better to become the model set by Jesus. You know, like in Matthew 25:35-40:

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

THAT is how I should preach, because actions speak a heck of a lot louder than words.

I feel it’s not so much the spreading of the Word, it’s more HOW they do it. Live like Jesus wants us to (aka. Love your neighbour as yourself), and the people will want to follow, at least some. Lead by example, rather than beat them to death like a chimpanzee with a stick.

Unfortunately that is how little people interpret the wisdom given. We all make our own version of God, and decide to use our narrow interpretations as the truth, when the reality of God is so vast and incomprehensible to us.

Edit to add that this goes for all of us, I’m not exempting myself from potentially acting in this manner.

I personally am a Christian, with a strong faith in Jesus, but I also believe that I’m not here to impose on the world. We as Christians are called AWAY from the world, so why interfere and bully others?

Somebody is stuck in 1999.

All Pharisees will face such.
