He didn't support any sort of government on earth, only the kingdom of god. So if anything, he was advocating for a theocracy ran by god himself. Also, capitalism wasn't even invented yet. So yeah... he couldn't have been and I've never heard anyone say he was a capitalist.
The way I see it, even if Christianity ends up being right and LGBT go to hell, that's not a god I'd want to worship anyway. Sometimes I fall in love with men, sometimes with other women. I'd sooner burn with the people I relate to than stuck in heaven with a bunch of repressed judgmental jerks...
"What people on the left don't understand about Islam is that it is anti-secular. It is. Look at the crap going on in Germany, this is why isolationism is a good thing. And I'm not saying ban immigrants, just secure the borders and require those immigrants from wherever across the planet to...
meh. The two major parties are greedy, unloyal whores interested in money instead of the betterment of our nation. Democrats fund rebel groups, accept donations from countries that don't align with American values in the slightest, and then they start wars that the US has no business being a...
America is based on heavily on individualism, competition, personal success and what others can do for you... not collectivism like other nations have been built off of. It only makes sense when we are taught to seek out the highest personal gain we can achieve, that we neglect others in the...
Of course it is flawed. Like others have said, there is no such thing as a perfect system. Traditionalism often is striving for an ideal or a skewed perception of the past, not a realistic one. I'm sure many people have a different definition as to what that traditionalism even is, but the...
I love this post so much. I make these same points when debating fedora friends or my bf on the subject of spirituality, but sadly it tends to falls on deaf ears. Atheists can entail just as much close-mindedness and conviction as any other set of beliefs. When beliefs become convictions, they...
Because every other religion in the west is castrated with the exception of this one. That's why Islam is the main focus right now. They are more socially conservative and misogynistic than any republican. I use to be baffled why far-lefties defended them, but it basically comes down to "the...
Yes, multiple times over and not by choice. Took around a year or less each time. Later on I read the Nag Hammadi library as well, also known as the Gnostic Gospels or non-canonical scriptures.
The two-party system farce will only continue to give the American people worthless candidates intended to keep up business as usual. Freedom to pick who they pick for us. He's no worse or better than anyone else we've had the past couple decades despite his pre-election drama. He's just much...
I don't like him in the least bit. I much prefer Imam Tawhidi, but sadly he probably won't live a long life due to other muslims hating him. Gets lots of death threats aimed at him and his family. Religion of peace for ya.
I didn't have much choice in the matter since my dad joined up with Jehovah's Witnesses when I was like 5 years old. That was the first issue I had with it, that I had no say in the matter. Then basically for the next 13 years I was treated poorly by my father and step-mother, the congregation...
You are 81% Fascist, which makes you a
Bona Fide Fascist.
While I do have Third Positionist views, this test definitely isn't the best. Not really a fan of the political compasses either.
Anyone is better off reading books and deciding for themselves what they agree with.
