@MaxHG15 @GrandOldYeller @conservmillen Ok valid, the Og post you replied to was talking about non-binary component of God the Father

I asked David French about his article calling James Talarico a Christian example in light of Talarico’s statements in support of transing kids, abortion, and God being “non-binary.” French: “I’m just not willing to say James Talarico is not a Christian.” My response:

@SeanJohnso76518 @GrandOldYeller @conservmillen I spoke about abortion and transitioning minors because they are clearly unchristian. I dont have a problem with asserting a genderless God or using both genders to describe him, nothing unbiblical about that. I do have a problem with citing gnostic texts to support that claim.

@MaxHG15 @GrandOldYeller @conservmillen James Talarico is a “Christian National on the left and I like that” but are we calling all the authors of the bible that describe God in female characteristics an heretic womensordination.org/resources-old/….

@nonregemesse @ParanoidPol Maddening. How anyone could justify returning the city to Satan worshippers is beyond me. One of the worst crimes in history not perpetrated by a Mohammedan

British troops occupying Constantinople in 1919.

@GrandOldYeller @conservmillen Christians can believe that God mistakenly puts people in the wrong bodies, requiring teenagers who's brains aren't fully developed to undergo chemical castration and suffer lifelong complications? AND they can support murdering unborn babies? That is a bold take my friend.

First, the fact that God is non-binary is standard Christian theology. God has never been, nor will God ever be, male. God transcends human categories. Christians can disagree on issues of abortion and transitioning adolescents, there are arguments both ways. How can you attempt to a limit Christianity to your own personal beliefs?

I think Greece should turn the Kemal house into a brothel

Algerians when Algeria became 13% French: “We should kill all the French.” The Pope: “That was good.” Frenchmen when France becomes 13% Algerian: “We should slow down the rate at which we accept more Algerians.” The Pope: “This is evil.”

Tommy Robinson rips into Tucker Carlson. “How dare you use your platform to diminish the rape of our country.”

@zannaQT @phishykid @BranchFl0ridian @PowerOwn45 Yeah my question was for phishykid. Obviously even the most radically pro abortion dems still receive communion. I also cant think of one prominent dem who is against abortion unless medically necessary, those days are long gone

@MaxHG15 @phishykid @BranchFl0ridian @PowerOwn45 No. Those democrats that support abortion. He is in sync with. Which blows my mind

I don’t have anything against Catholics. They have good and bad folks like any other large group. I’m just perplexed as to why they keep electing Bernie bros for the Papacy.

Our military is badass again. We legit kidnapped a sitting world leader in the middle of the night. We are feared on the world stage. The border is closed. Asylum grants are at historic lows (3%). Deportations are ramping up. The federal work force is the smallest it’s been in decades. But dudes that sit like this are mad, so we better pack it in…

@HabitualLinest @sojournermg3 @megbasham The Roman catholic catechism states unequivocally that protestants are considered Christians. So you are starting your journey as a Roman catholic by... ignoring official church doctrine? Interesting.

@sojournermg3 @megbasham Incorrect There's only one Christian faith. Catholicism is not a denomination. It is Christianity itself Everything else is a mixture of truth and error. It is not Christianity

Can anyone recommend a Protestant podcaster who offers an apologia of our theology against Catholic theology who is a clear creationist—six days, global flood? I know there are some who do this who are local flood, symbolic creation type of people and I’m not interested in them. If it’s someone, for example, who would promote Biologos and Francis Collins or work with Biologos, I don’t want that guy. Is there anyone like this?

@phishykid @zannaQT @BranchFl0ridian @PowerOwn45 Are you trying to assert that the pope and the broader catholic church only communes with democrats who don't support on demand abortion?

@zannaQT @BranchFl0ridian @PowerOwn45 You do know there are plenty of Democrats that don't support abortion in one way or another or at all unless its medically necessary right

@GMErectheus @RobertAJGagnon1 The Roman Catholic Catechism clearly states that Protestants are Christians, or... do you just make up your own beliefs?

@RobertAJGagnon1 Hey Robert this is a discussion about Christianity, only Catholics need apply. Yall left it when you sided with the German Catholic priest who wanted to make up his own beliefs. K thx bye.

Note Leo's absolute statements: "God does not bless *any* conflict. *Anyone* who is a disciple of Christ is *never* on the side of those" who use military weapons of war. "Peace ... comes *only* from ... dialogue among peoples." Taken at face value, Leo appears to be denying all "just war" criteria. Taking his statements at face value, he apparently believes that after the Japanese attacked us in Pearl Harbor and Hitler declared war on us we should have done nothing; and that Jesus was opposed to us defeating these two evil empires. We should have continued to engage in "dialogue" with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan while they were committing murder on an unprecedented scale. That is a morally irresponsible verdict on Leo's part. Jesus did not require the state to be pacifistic. He did not believe that Israel erred every time or even most of the time that it engaged in warfare as reported by his Scriptures (the Conquest, the period of the judges and tribal confederacy, David's reign). "Turn the other cheek" is not a model for the state (obviously), nor is it for internal policing and criminal punishment. Granted, Jesus did not side with the violent revolutionaries of his day, just as Jeremiah did not side with those wanting to throw off Babylon's yoke in his day, but that is because they both viewed God as using the great empire of their day to punish Israel. Their approach was not a carte blanche rejection of military force in all circumstances. Leo's level of moral understanding regarding conflict is shocking for someone who is supposed to be a moral leader for 1.5 billion Catholics worldwide.

US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate" my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations. poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

@zambooter @JoelWBerry Actually... he does! Blames Churchill for the war and all the death that came from it, and he says dropping the bombs on Japan was an act of pure evil that there is no justification for.

@JoelWBerry Would Tucker consider WW2 to be a genocide against the Germans and Japanese?

Friggin' Episcopalians, man

@Belbizaz @ConceptualJames Wanting America to cede its position as the global hegemon is absolutely woke. It is definitely not what the current administration ran on.

@ConceptualJames Cope harder. Not wanting foreign entanglements that cost us billions isn't some abstract form of wokeism. It's what the current admin ran on you shill

What you see almost endlessly from Tucker Carlson, "Comic" Dave Smith, Theo Von, etc., and the rest of the blackpillers amounts to a Critical America Theory. I'm not making this up. I'm explaining. Critical Theory was developed by neo-Marxist Max Horkheimer of the Frankfurt School in 1937. In an interview in 1969, Horkheimer explained what the Critical Theory is. He said (closely paraphrasing): "I developed the Critical Theory because we [Western neo-Marxists] realized we cannot articulate the good or ideal society on the terms of the existing society. What we can do is criticize those aspects of the existing society that we wish to change." In other words, a Critical Theory believes everything is so captured and corrupted by power and those who benefit from systems of power that it isn't even possible to talk about a better situation in clear terms. All that's available is criticism of why the system/society isn't better than it is. This activity has come to be known as identifying or "making visible" the various "problematics" in the existing system. A Critical Theory OF SOMETHING would focus this general mode of engagement into a particular domain. For example, a Critical Theory of Race in America would believe that racism is so endemic to a society and embedded within its systems to the benefit of whites that we cannot articulate a true "antiracist" vision on the terms available to us. All we could do is identify where "racism" manifests and criticize it for being there. We call that program "Critical Race Theory" because it is a Critical Theory of Race. What it does in practice is (1) identifies "hidden racism" in everything (criticizing those elements of the existing (racial) system they wish to change), called "identifying problematics"; (2) induces more people to think this way; nothing else. What a Critical America Theory would look like is not being able to articulate what a good or ideal America would look like on the terms of the existing America but criticizing those elements of America as it exists that we wish to change. That is, it would look for everything America isn't doing perfectly according to some ideal standard that doesn't exist, probably cannot exist, and cannot even be articulated and "make those problematics visible" in the hopes of changing the system. Leftists, including the whole of Critical Race Theory, do this endlessly. From Derrick Bell's (founder of CRT) 1970 book, Race, Racism, and American Law, forward, it is a relentless racial Critical America Theory. That's why it exported poorly and often hilariously to other countries that don't have the same law or racial history. Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States (1980) is another example, a very naked example, of a work of Critical America Theory. Specifically, this book goes through every chapter of American history, from pre-founding (Christopher Columbus) to the present (1980 at the time) and catalogues how America cheated "the people," mainly workers, indigenous, racial minorities, and women (the intersectional coalition). What I'm telling you is that the blackpillers of Podcastistan and X, etc., very notably including Tucker Carlson, are doing a socially conservative variation on Critical America Theory. Whether Carlson or "Auron MacIntyre" (nhrn) from The Blaze, the undertone of every message is plainly "you don't hate your (real) country enough" as compared against an imaginary ideal that doesn't, can't, and won't ever exist. The Blackpill Comics all do the same thing, relentlessly identifying "problematics" and alleged hidden systems of control that delegitimize the country as it actually is against a standard that isn't even real. The thing is, Critical America Theory is a Critical Theory of America. That is, it is a Critical Theory. That is, when you participate in this slop, you are taking on a critical consciousness about America. Having a critical consciousness is being WOKE, by definition (of Woke). This slop is Woke. When this Critical America Theory slop takes on a socially Leftist slant, we call it Woke Left (or just Woke). When this Critical America Theory slop takes on a socially conservative or Rightist slant, we call it Woke Right (which is just Woke too). They are both Woke. They are both toxic. They are both false enlightenment into a kind of terrible darkness, entitlement, malice, despair, hatred, and failure. Reject Critical America Theory. Love your country. It's great, and it's worth it.

@OliDugmore @RoryStewartUK The real racist is the secular liberal who assumes that all people, if given enough resources and education, will come to see the world exactly as he does. He cannot fathom that a Muslim might have his own interests, interests that do not align with his "enlightened" world view.

I asked @RoryStewartUK about the prevalence of anti-Muslim bigotry in modern politics and his reply stunned me. What I wanted to talk about was the way ignorance and hatred (recent examples: describing Muslims praying in public as “an act of domination”, political parties trying to ban the burqa) was now not just harming British Muslims, but also the national interest. How a lack of understanding about martyrdom or Persian nationalism connects to a war that might cause a global depression. I thought he might talk about Karbala, and we did eventually, but he began with a precise and confronting statement: much of what we’re dealing with is, quite simply, racism. And not only that, but the weaponisation of that racism, and its political uses, which he described as “profoundly disturbing.” He talked about arguing with Tommy Robinson. Speculated about possible endpoints for a politics that don’t incorporate dignity and love. And drew a parallel to anti-Semitism in the 1930s. If you haven’t listened to the latest episode of The Exchange yet, you really need to. Listen in bio.
