So you're not a Christian anymore?
But do you still believe in God?
Who are you to say who is and isn't Christian? Doesn't the bible tell you not to judge? Wouldn't declaring someone saying he is a Christian a liar be a form of judging someone?
How should I know? I'm not a Christian anymore, but it is YOUR book that says this:
Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
John 7:24King James Version (KJV)
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
It's in YOUR bible. I already know it is nonsense. It is impossible for humans not to judge people. It's in our nature. The fact that you are arguing with me about it shows that you don't even want to listen such ridiculous decrees.
Uh... No... I clearly said that someone using their hate to inhibit someone else. That is a clear action of suppression on behalf of the hateful party. Whatever you are trying to argue here is missing the point completely.
Disapproval is not hating..it is disapproval.
I never said it was.
Censorship of what? I just told you that you are allowed to hate someone. I even acknowledged that I have no right to say you can't. You actually QUOTED that line from me. How are you not understanding my meaning? If you use that hate or disapproval to inhibit someone else THEN I have a problem with you.
Funnily enough you JUST got done trying to explain different levels of intolerance (hate and disapproval) yet here you are saying that the counter hate is equal to the original hate. But hey, this is a standard cop out explanation to try to justify your own hate, "Well SEE they hate us for hating these other people! I am therefore justified in my hate!"
Did you just mistake a debate with me for an opportunity to start preaching? Because I don't care what the Bible says. I don't accept it as a valid source of information outside of studying ancient superstitions and what people believed in their time. Kind of like studying the Greek Pantheon.

Agnostic is cool... but you're not a Christian anymore because you can't compose yourself like them?
One thing's for sure though... you never give up on God.
I've met Christians believe me and alot of them freaking glow man! it's hard to explain but it freaks me out a bit but they have physically shiny skin.I don't know if you've ever noticed that on alot of them?
I'm not walking around glowing, I don't think I'll ever be a Christian until I'm glowing...

This sounds so logical and so reasonable until you take the whole Bible in context...and not leave a lot out of the picture.
Here..it also says this...
John 7:24King James Version (KJV)
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
I told you that you are accustomed to dealing with people or Believers who are on milk and not on meat. There is obviously more to it and it is not as clear as you are want to post.
You are judging on appearances...that is obvious to those who can see , hear, and understand. And yes..you only look at the cover.
I care not one whit that you were catholic or jewish or anything else. You are still off target as well as out of context.
Oh no..it is your position here which is ridiculous. No problem I do not point this out for you. You will never get it in a hundred years on your own. I post this for the Believers on here.
You like many of this genre...automatically label those who disagree or dissent as haters. It is textbook, predictable and intolerant. It is bullying and also tries to pass for the moral high ground today. Dissenting or disapproving is not hating ..it is dissent.
The Christian position is to come out from amongst them and be ye separate..not to mix in and roll around in that for which one disapproves or dissents. The world position is to have everyone rolling around in the same pool..no matter if they dissent or disapprove.
How do I know this..is taking place..here....this...is to where these default settings lead..no separation of church and state...or as GFW Hegel was to say.."The State is god."
thegipster.blogspot.com...
Really!! Mostly what you have in your post/posts are some variation of Hate and Hating...as a standard label or starting point.
As I said it is textbook and getting Wolfe. It is much like the recent cry of wolf by the women's movements on the "War On Women" also for votes. The problem is the women got caught the last election.
Most people do not know how to think their way around it...but I do. And my intent it to show Believers how to think their way around folks like you and the standard guilt manipulations and default settings.
LOL LOL LOL>..thanks for making my point about hate and hating being a standard default setting and textbook of todays pseudo intelligentsia. I hope the readers and Believers here can see the pattern of conduct now that you have confirmed it. They are going to see this pattern again and with regularity...even from their phony leadership today.
Oh goodness no...
You are assuming ...as in like manner to your default settings ....that I post all of this for you and only you. Not so.
This is to show Believers the difference in thinking and emoting ..in sugar and salt..in Milk and Meat.
It is also to show the other religion..the other belief...which few want them to see, hear, and understand. And by this I also mean even by their own ministers. For their own ministers often leave them Unarmored,..untutored..and ignorant.
It ought not to be so..but it is. And I blame their ministers for leaving them with sugar and not Salt.
I believe you are accustomed to dealing with those types of Believers...no problem by me. I am not impressed.
Once one knows the pattern....It is easy to understand to what posters like JDmOKI are alluding. Again no problem.
My thanks to JDmOKI for their post..as well as you for yours..Krazysh0t. You will greatly help those who can still think for themselves in how to spot the pattern.

I'd call that apophenia.

I know what I see/seen.
Is there something wrong with everyone getting along? I thought everyone desired world peace? Do you think world peace is going to honestly be obtained if people can't get along despite their disapproval of others?
His research shows that the death toll from democide is far greater than the death toll from war. After studying over 8,000 reports of government-caused deaths, Rummel estimates that there have been 262 million victims of democide in the last century. According to his figures, six times as many people have died from the actions of people working for governments than have died in battle.

Yeah, Krazyshot. Didn't you know that peace doesn't really mean peace? LMAO
Part of that equation is tolerance.
If everyone gets along then strife is minimized.

I did not say we shouldn't strive for it...but my contention is in how and for what it is attempted to be strived.
I don't approve of the methods...by entitlement ..and over the law of the land...and over peoples religion which is also the law of the land. This is the problem with SJW's ..their obvious entitlement beliefs...even over other peoples beliefs and even their private property.
remember this by the chief SJW and his administration.
cnsnews.com...
As to Peace..the problem with your position is that history dictates and demonstrates differently...all the way back into recorded time.
As I stated already..several times..history is not a strong suit with many believers..even Bible history.
What many Believers also do not know ..is that history is not a strong suit with many non believers...emotions, however, is their strong suit.
Is that what you are doing here on these boards and threads...getting along and minimizing strife?? Being tolerant. Could have fooled me and many of the other posters here.
If your not doing this as a SJW...what are the rest of the SJW's doing out here with the same "entitlement " beliefs and religion??
The Christian position is to come out from amongst them and be ye separate. The problem with SJW's is that they don't want anyone to separate..they want everyone rolling around in the same religion..the same dogma...the same politics.
In the last 100 years..the biggest group of SJW's In this world were the Soviet Communists. It is they who were so intolerant in building the perfect socialist utopia that they turned to Demodice...the killing off of their own people. They did this over some 40 plus year and to the death of millions..I mean literally millions.
This was to be followed by Communist China in killing off Millions of their own people.
And remember ..these were nations of reason and logic....men of science. This is the time of enlightenment...illumination..men of logic and reason running things.
That Krazysh0t..is the singular outstanding problem with your position of SJW's...the history of entitlements...leading to socialist type governments and the byproduct of this type of thinking ...this type of entitlement beliefs.
It is a tendency towards socialist, facist, then communist type government controlling everything and the people become cattle. Another word for it is "Absolute Power:" or "Divine Right of Kings."
When a people get to make their own decisions ...about their lives...their economy flourishes and they get to keep more of what they produce.
Under SJW's and the like...economies flounder under do gooders who believe themselves entitled...and they remove the desire to produce and the economy flounders, staggers, and comes to a halt.
Once one knows this pattern ..they can look at SJW's and the like for what they are ...dead and inert.
The problem is ..that now some of the readers out here have heard the other side and can see you and others of this ilk for what it is...cheap politics..or as you aptly state..SJW. You cannot change your spots.
Most Americans have never heard this version of history for which I post here and to what it leads..it has been censored from their educations.
Once they hear it ..most will know automatically that it is true. I can take this further but this will suffice for now.
What is also very obvious is that you yourself do not seem to be aware of this history or even this aspect of science/ Socialism.....Democide. It's connection to Entitlement beliefs and SJW's...as well as the anti God movements.
Giving minorities the same rights as others is entitlement? WOW.
It would be nice if conservatives could think of a SECULAR way to get rid of the travesty that is the ACA, but ham fisting a stupid religious argument as the reason isn't the way to do it.
Tolerance is a new thing, and AGAIN I explicitly stated that tolerance isn't the sole key to world peace. I said it was a big part of it. Try reading my words a bit more carefully next time.
Same religion? No... You DO know that many SJW's are Christians too right? Not all of them are atheists.
You give two examples of social justice resulting in a genocide, how often have theocratic governments resulted in genocide? All the damn time! As a corollary how about examining all the secular governments of the day and see that secular governments are better than theocractic ones.
Eh? This is untrue. Russia STARTED off on their communist trek into genocide. China the same. SOCIALIST governments currently remain socialist and strive to remain NOT communist. The above you just said is right wing political fear rhetoric against Socialism. I'm not even a Socialist and can see that.
I'm a Libertarian... Well a classical Libertarian, not one of these neo-Libertarians like the Tea Party. You aren't telling me anything I don't know.
So striving for equality is a doomed prospect according to you? We should all just embrace our inner hate because it is ok.
You haven't proven that Socialism is bad, nor have you proven that social justice is inert.
What version of history have you presented? You haven't presented ANY history. Just standard right wing political rhetoric about Communism and Socialism with no evidence at all to back you up.
I am aware of many more things than you are apparently since you don't even know what is and isn't history versus political rhetoric. Did you ever happen to study Native American culture? Did you know it was largely Socialist in nature?
