You might also say it's a departure of both. "Christ crucified is foolishness to the Greek, and a stumbling block to the jew." Foolishness because the cross is a shameful death. Stumbling because it's a curse. Christianity reorients the mind. For the Greek what is death becomes life, for the jew what is a curse becomes glory. Christ for the pagan becomes the archetypal hero inducted into his kingdom by a crown of thorns. A kingdom whose citizenship is achieved through death (baptism). For the jew the fulfillment of the law and the promised messiah, who Lords over zion bringing us peace. Peace won by a final sacrifice (communion) Christianity has forgotten that Jesus is a warrior-king [christus victor] and if a king, a terror to his enemies and a friend to his servants. Every failure of the modern church can be relegated to "Jesus is an unqualified friend". But he is only a friend to this who are his, and even then only as much as a father is a friend to a son, a king to a servant. Hierarchy and order remains. As do demands of lordship.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD As expected.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD You mistook analogy for metaphor in a sad attempt to look intelligent and I’m the moron? lol. Lmfao, even.

Please tell me: what can I do better to assimilate? To finally become a good migrant? I am a board-certified neurosurgeon, one of only a handful in this country with additional endovascular training (still undergoing), currently with 19 high-impact publications and a doctoral thesis (summa cum laude) focused on the development of an entirely new field in the microsurgical training of young neurosurgeons, patented with the goal of free worldwide accessibility and reproducibility, and in the process of publishing my first book on this topic. I also happen to love whisky and currywurst. And everything about Western literature and art, just as I love and appreciate all these things in every other culture and civilization. Sadly, I am not going to support genocidal scum and child rapists commit endless crimes against humanity, if that’s your idea of assimilation. And I am not going to just watch them burn down the world in real time and shut up about it in order to protect myself and my career. I swore an oath. And I take it very seriously. (I do however apologize for the cheap self-congratulatory introduction for the sake of the argument)

Wrong. We are not comparing child to citizen AT ALL. We are pulling out a concept of human relation "i can have affection for a thing without robust understanding of it" from an easily understood relationship and applying that universal to a less understood relationship. The analogy doesn't require that the citizen be a child. That would be.....childish.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD Not identical, but it does need to be proportionate. The logic of your analogy only works if you infantilize the citizen. And that’s weak. Try one with an adult, now.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD I need to know you're not an actual moron before we proceed.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD Are you joking or are you just embarrassed now?

@LarryTaunton The ethos is not shared.

This is colossal ignorance. When the term “Judeo-Christian” was first used is meaningless. The fact of it is as old as Christianity. It simply means a shared ethos that is found in those OT books that both religions recognize as holy.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD Define analogy.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD It’s an analogy, not a metaphor, goofball. And a poor one at that.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD Ok. Lol.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD Sure, I already said I don’t disagree and that the lack of knowledge has led us to the place we’re in now— with a moron as President.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD You seem to think that in order for an analogy to work, the things being compared must be alike in every way, thereby revealing your confusion.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD And that you have to use a child because the analogy falls apart when it’s an adult.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD You don't even know what a metaphor is.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD No, I’m saying using a child in place of an average American citizen is silly.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD It's very simple, I'm saying affection and intellect are different things.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD Unless you’re saying the average American citizen has the mental capacity of a child?

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD You don't even understand it. You think it's about the father.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD No, man. I’m telling you it’s a weak analogy.

@DoominessOfDoom @AmirAminiMD A very common problem. Thank you for your contribution.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD I was born here to people that were born here & have been an American every day of my 41 years & I don't know any normal human who feels this way about the country -OR- Washington. You fucking weirdo. I'm plenty assimilated & a better American than you for noticing it has flaws.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD We're talking about the child, the one incapable of understanding. Try to keep up.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD If a father doesn’t even know his child’s birthday or his name… yeah, I’d say that’s a problem.

In what world is this not a life sentence?

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD Does a child, unable to do math, love his father?

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD Sure, I guess you can love something and not know fuck-all about it?

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD Understanding is not the same as love. Affection is crucial. My condolences to your ass.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD My point is that most naturalized citizens have a better understanding of US history than birthright citizens because they actually had to pass a test on US History as adults, lmao

@coleman_sellers @NAVSEA Patriot

When @NAVSEA fired me for refusing the COVID vaccine I went to a bar and had a beer and cried and wondered if George Washington and company would have been proud of me for the decision I made. In 2020 my Christmas gift to everyone was whiskey and wine from Mount Vernon.

@punkrockjukebox @AmirAminiMD 🫡

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD Get fucked weirdo.

@zoetriggers @AmirAminiMD If your point is that too many blood and soil Americans don't have enough affection for their ancestors and heroes, then i agree with you.

@mereranarchy @AmirAminiMD The President is wiping his ass with the Constitution as we speak and most Americans can’t even name when Washington became President (they think it was 1776), who the fuck are you kidding?

@TheStrongDad 3XBurnout 20 reps as a static structure won't do anything.

It will not. Your body will adapt really fast and you will notice little to zero progress after a month.

@FmrRepMTG "Could not match" Weirdos in the thread: "NUH UH IT WAS InCoNcLuSiVe" Yeah. That's what "could not match" means.

👀 The ATF could not match the bullet to Tyler Robinson’s gun and when the news breaks the sheriff resigns.
