This yesterday when someone wanted to know why we still talk about Trump. Dude...the other party made a graven image of him. That’s biblical
That was the closest I ever got to changing the mind of the closest in my circle. Didn't quite make it. Not sure even a rapture would work

Also because he beat 2nd place in a straw poll at the recent Rep. conference by at least 50%. And every gov official still rides him

The person who offended you is not on Imgur
SoMuchPooPooSon
I don't think this person is trying to reach the one who offended them, but instead an echo chamber to make themselves feel better.
For some of us this is a support group, if that falls under “echo chamber”. A lot of us grew up faithful and didn’t just change to sin more.

US people think socialism is communism. It definitively isn't. Socialism is to consider that the society is more important than individuals.
Not that everything is common property, nor that everybody must have the same wealth.
GenStrike
Where you getting that definition from? 'cuz Socialism is *also* defined as "the transitory stage towards communism."
and communism is defined as "a stateless, classless, moneyless society". Meaning that it is incompatible with authoritarianism.

Yoink. Gunna go trigger some family with this, thanks
HA!
If I am right, and I hope I'm not, they are eternally damned.
It's actually truly crazy, the last few years have been enlightening. The uncle I had previously thought was the crazy "ultra conservative"
has shown he has a compassionate heart while the others I had thought were normal have gone insane.
Shaodyn
I suspect that most conservative "Christians" won't be going to Heaven.
TheYodajen
Oh geez could uneven imagine? Eternity in a trump rally? Yup that's my hell
I’d love it because then I get to ruin all of their good times by being there and able to say whatever I want

Creating an entire arbitrary rule system to punish people below him? Not teaching anybody these rules explicitly or allowing them to learn?
Handing out heavy-handed punishments at random to people who refuse to follow these rules and punish those around them for no reason?
Pyrolillycherry
Then the "Christians" you're looking at are doing it wrong. It's not about spending time w/ us - ppl suck. It's about God and love. Don't >
let people ruin it for you. Pls don't let them turn you away. Look into it for yourself to give it a fair chance because it's worth it. & >
marchbald
I understand, cult life is for a select few, stay cozy in your self righteousness and judgement of others.
That's the funny thing - Christianity is supposed to be about NOT judging others, just loving them. I'm just saying it can be done right. :)
on behalf of all the idiots who somehow have gotten it SO wrong, I apologize. Thank you. Have a good day.
I appreciate those who can make sense of it. I grieve my lost faith. I hope you find peace where it’s warranted and discomfort when it’s not
Xalaqia
Thousands of Christian denominations, each one thinks they got it right. Maybe NONE of you got it right. Gods don't exist.
“Christians you’re looking at…” ?? You mean the ones that hold public office? The ones screaming at service workers, the ones rioted on 1/6?
Yep, them. Unfortunately the bad examples can get very vocal :(
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
Ahh yes, the wholesome conservative christian

Yeah Children should have to work for their food.

No, as a Christian, she fits right in and is quite typical. As a US conservative, she also fits right in and is quite typical.
I meant, "as a Christian who is typing this comment, I don't identify with her line of thinking at all"
Two Christians disagreeing about something? ? And why exactly does your religion matter. Are you trying to speak for all Christians?
Not at all, I'm hoping that people don't lump all christians into the same box because of the crazies like this one

Socialism can exist with a free market by having a democratic contract to pool money to help ppl with taxes. Communism cannot
