Our side lost because of the intolerance of the tolerant left. If you don’t see that, then we will keep losing.
People didn’t vote for Trump, they voted against you.
They voted against your “if you don’t agree with me then you’re my enemy” mentality.
They voted against your need to have an echo chamber or risk being canceled.
They voted against being attacked for a difference in opinion.
They voted against being called pedos, racists, homophobes, Nazis simply for disagreeing with you.
They voted for the right to keep YOU out of decisions for their children.
They voted against having to walk on eggshells for fear of offending someone.
I don’t care who I piss off by saying this, step out of the tunnel vision and have a civil conversation with folks and take responsibility for your part in pushing people, who are on the fence, to vote against you.
@AmirHetsroni@atensnut@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump As a holder of a graduate degree making a comfortable income, I can tell you that this type of condescension from the left is probably not helping you win any of us over. The left has gone too extreme on too many issues to be more broadly appealing.
@The_Real_X_Era@BenZeisloft No, it isn’t oxymoronic. My children may dislike it when I sternly divert them from a harmful thing they thought was fun and harmless, but it doesn’t make it unloving to do so. In fact, I’d be unloving NOT to do everything I can to remove the harm. Same principle.
@The_Real_X_Era@BenZeisloft Sure, agreed. So it’s kinda strange to (dare I say?) judge those who are in the early stages of setting up such votes when all they’re doing through posts like this is getting out the vote.
@The_Real_X_Era@BenZeisloft Does legislating wrongdoing automatically equate to judging others? Have we been excessively judgmental as a society with the establishment of the current set of laws?
@DeviantCrypto@thisisfoster Cool, so let’s celebrate it instead and encourage some other young person to end their own life in the name of supposed justice. Your ideology sucks.
@kylexitron5000@thisisfoster Your ideology wants to celebrate suicide, which will undoubtedly encourage others who are like minded. It isn’t “poison” to point out that ending your life to make a statement is absolute foolishness.
@LamesLankford@thisisfoster Explain to me what is un-Christian about stating the truth. This man ended his own life and we’re supposed to -what? Cheer him? Encourage others to follow his example of offending God through their decision to destroy His creation?
@DeviantCrypto@thisisfoster It’s compassionate to point out the foolishness of ending a human life in this manner, if nothing else but to dissuade similarly sinful acts.
@EastsideTC lol I have driven further than that just to hang with a male friend, but I once drove 14 hours to meet with a girl I was interested in pursuing.
@JustinPetersMin Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass unless the Lord has commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both good and ill go forth?
-Lamentations 3:37-38
@1crzydg@cmooch55@tithelyapp ”Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar? So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.“
1 Corinthians 9:13-14
@FarleyForQueen @SunilSarwal I understand your comparison and I was going to make something similar. Just because there might be a low occurrence of a criminal act doesn’t mean we shouldn’t label the act criminal anyway and prohibit those rare occurrences.
@JesusFreak_2_0 @M_W_GGW@newkingej It’s important that you understand that it isn’t “the devil’s work” to ask questions. A lot of us have been taught very differently and we’re trying to understand and engage with your perspective. Replying “blocked” when legitimate questions are asked is problematic.
@jwb54904 @DustyDeevers That’s because in the US, the state is run by the people (in theory). Are we supposed to take up the sword against the government? No. Rome was far more corrupt than we are and Jesus made no such case. But our mode of government is not to set on autopilot and leave it.
@newkingej @JesusFreak_2_0 And that one blocked me too. Excellent engagement, folks. Not sure what the point is of making instructive posts and be unwilling to answer the questions that will inevitably arise. Absolute charlatans.
@newkingej @JesusFreak_2_0 I just want to make sure I understand here, since the original poster is so incapable of engaging in the topic that they just decided to block me. You DO have the ability to heal anyone whenever you want, is that right?
