@JTAlexander_ This is all true but how do you square it with your religion?

@JTAlexander_ @NapoleonBonabot I don’t think understand why none of the fathers put on burqas for a disguise and toss petroleum bombs through migrant windows.

I heard a Dylan Moran bit once about how the banks could come into homes, take all of their property, and all the British would say is, “Boy, I’m started to get pretty cross about this.”
I think about this often.
I really don’t know how much more clear your Government can be in telling you that they support your daughters being raped. They’ve said it pretty explicitly several times.
So, why is your response upon catching someone to take a video and call the police?
I hate the cliche, but something, about “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
Revolutions have started over far, far less.

@Dbob_77 Catholicism is not an infinitely pacifist religion.
I won’t presume to write anything on the matter better than the many Catholic theologians that have written it before, but the bottom line is that evil must be fought and we ought to pray for our enemies as we fight them.

The problem with Iranian regime people is they fundamentally misunderstand western Anglo culture. We wish this was true, we sit here and pray that our f22s get to have fun. We love war, we are war tribes. War is our hobby. You see it as a threat, we see it as fun. We are legitimately crazy, you should surrender. We have entire divisions of guys excited to come kill you.

@prowrstlngstrng Also thinking the Sunnis are ideological brothers with the Shias, or Arabs with Persians, is a pretty clear example of Marvel brained history.

Wow. A bunch of scammer, low trust society countries are not risking their own hides to ally with their alleged ideological brothers against a superpower?You mean they are just looking out for themselves?

@Dbob_77 @AF_Insight @captive_dreamer Say you are in Texas. Trump endorses Cornyn, who is an amnesty squish and a traitor, and he wins the primary. My advice would be not to vote in the midterm. Same goes for the House and all states. No votes for anyone who is in the establishment.

@AF_Insight @captive_dreamer If the country is decaying, and the GOP has controlled the House, Senate, and White House for 8 years since 2001. The decay still happened and is happening, you admit it.

American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible
He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill
“This is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital:
- It totaled about $24,000
- My CT scan alone was $8,300
- Laboratory, 6,000
- IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total
And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478
because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this bill”
“But if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’
Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare.
So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.”
US Health Insurance is a scam

@BonifaceOption Marrying a prostitute is rather like hiring an alcoholic as a bartender.

This kind of stuff would actually have some cache if we lived in a healthy civilization where antisocial behaviors, especially promiscuity were heavily stigmatized, rather than something idealized and celebrated by a significant percentage of the population.
If you lived in a world where a girl who whored herself out to dozens of random men was treated with the same degree of scorn society at large today only reserves for things like racism (and apparently those who shame promiscuous women), then you could say "Jesus has redeemed me from this great shame. I am free."
But when there is no shame whatsoever, and stigma is actually only directed at those who disapprove of women being an unwalled garden, then there really isn't any liberation from shame since there wasn't much to begin with, and instead you have established a career path for online prostitutes to retire into once their looks and attendant earnings begin to diminish.
In this particular case (and there are countless others) the reformed prostitute transitions from gaining attention from sex to gaining attention from her redemption from selling sex. She still operates within the attention economy under a different function. That is a major part of the reaction here.
It is a more acute corollary to the declining celebrity who has a radical conversion to Christianity. His star has diminished, but now he has a new market that will cherish him as the broader public once did. Instead of making money in a Hollywood that has rejected him, he can now make movies for Angel Studios.
Wise pastoral counsel in both cases would be to advise getting out of the public eye for the sake of their faith. Their ability to garner attention is their "great riches." If they are unwilling to set aside those great riches, they, like the rich, young ruler, will go away sorrowful.
Addressing these concerns and weighing them in our particular societal disfunction is not "denying the power of God in the gospel." Certainly not more than claiming the prodigal son, in the moment he decides to return home, is not an ideal candidate for your daughter to marry.

A former adulteress who repented of her sins is a Christian. To deny that she is someone a godly man may faithfully marry is to deny the power of God in the gospel.

Tom Buck (Five Point Buck)@TomBuck
If someone argues that a former promiscuous woman is "damaged goods" and questions whether a Christian young man should marry her, remember Rahab. She was a Canaanite prostitute but became a mother in the lineage of Jesus. God redeemed her, cleansed her, and Salmon married her.

If you have wet dreams about some based civil war, or collapse chaos free-for-all, and think it will be you and the boys clearing rooms like Call of Duty, watch the video and understand that it will be way worse than this. Regard for human life quickly evaporates on the battlefield in an all out existential war and we are not exactly in an age of honor. Guys that were mild mannered insurance agents will be shooting people in the head. Your neighbor will be executing prisoners. This shit is not a joke. War is the ugliest thing you can imagine. For every video like this there are a hundred that are worse. Way worse.
