I saw Japanese people starting it. You are just trying to play victim because it gives you power.
Your definition of polite is pouring poison into someone's cup with a smile on your face. We don't call how you act "polite" we have a different word for it: two-faced / disingenuous/ hypocritical/ deceptive
If hearing the truth at all already stings you then that means your worldview is built on a foundation of lies.
"without being asked" well for one I responded to a post insulting Christianity didn't I? I didn't go on a random post of someone talking about anime and said : "You need to convert or else!"
So why are you lying about what I did? Why do you think it's fine for Japanese people to insult Christianity unprompted but wrong for Christians to respond?
Also Christianity is true. It's interesting you never say that about Shintoism it's like you people don't even care about what is true
Saying "the sky is blue and she sun shines" is not arrogance. Let's actually see how 'pride' is defined by the catholic church. (not pride not arrogance because arrogance is not a deadly sin, pride is)
> an excessive, disordered love of one’s own excellence, placing oneself above God and others
Am I saying anything about my own excellence? Did I say anything about myself? I am quite a mediocre guy all things considered so not really. Am I saying that I am better than God?
I am not making any judgments I am following God's teachings. You are the one making a human judgment, you are saying you know better than God by rejecting his word. Your's is the sin of pride.
@RaccoonBlack It’s really the octopus that gets me. But only because octopuses are so intelligent. I would eat a squid or most fish. Not touching horse under any circumstances unless on the brink of fatal starvation. Same with a dog or cat.
But I do not care what you choose to eat.
@pblitzfm Then your view of the world does not match reality. The fundamental principle of the world is physics. Something that is not personal, but universal.
@sumguyzclone@2Thessalonians5@Hokuto_Ide What we hate, however, is those who show up uninvited and assert like “our faith is the sole truth and yours is not.” That’s simply rude and arrogant and thus unacceptable, even if such an attitude is rooted in religious belief or a sense of “mercy” toward us.
@sumguyzclone@2Thessalonians5@Hokuto_Ide It is absolutely welcome when you share the beautiful or moving stories you’ve experienced through your practice of Christianity.
@hapiotaro@4Ud1CCuftl19105 I see I have stepped over a line and did not intend to create conflict here. Just note that my sensibilities have some foundation, this is simply a feeling.
@_22over7ish_@4Ud1CCuftl19105 じゃあなんで、「Let's just farm and eat dumb cows, pigs and other perfectly edible animals.」なんて言ったんだい?
あと、Ravenを食べないのは単に、美味しくないし食料としても利用しにくいからというだけじゃないかな。
また、貴方の信仰と伝統は理解したけど、我々には関係がない。
I am aware of pig's intelligence. Also raven, do we eat raven? No. But this is clearly not the criteria. What I do gather is the western diet is based in traditions going back to biblical times, Leviticus 11 has a list of things to eat and not. So back to my original post, I really am of soft heart, even with pigs and cows, it is a dilemma. I have raised animals and there is a difference between a pet, friend, and food. No matter, the respect is there.
@4Ud1CCuftl19105 I am soft at heart and don't want to harm sea mammals. Let's just farm and eat dumb cows, pigs and other perfectly edible animals. I get it you don't have so much land to farm, but the oceans give a lot of proteins already.
@Rerewert@Magnificent_8 Showing up uninvited and asserting your faith is the sole truth and ours is not is rude and arrogant. We’ve known for centuries, without needing your lectures, that our worldviews are irreconcilable. Stop that futile behavior that only fuels our distaste for Christians. Get lost.
@Rerewert@Magnificent_8 None of your business. Just stop your mental masturbation. You don’t even respect the voice from your fellow Christian. How shameless you are.
