@hayasaka_aryan The humanitarian proposal in the article is just to introduce feminism to all the places where the population is still growing. This is framed as basically the only proposal that does not involve sterilizing or outright culling billions of people before 2200.
We also have cults of child sacrifice - we just dress it up in medical language and other euphemisms like ‘trans’ or ‘gender affirming care.’ Futute generations will look at that stuff like we look at witch burnings. If anything, democracy and mass media mean this will increase.
@growing_daniel If we really are in a genuinely eschatological moment in history I seriously doubt it's going to have anything to do with any rabbis descending from the clouds to save mankind. . .
This is a penalty reserved for white parents specifically. No inner city black mom or deadbeat black father will ever be arrested, much less sentenced to 15 years in prison, for the savage crimes committed every single day by their kids.
When the “center right” denounces the “far right,” it always uses the strongest possible tones of disgust and uncleanness.
When the “center left” denounces the “far left,” it’s always like “shh, you’re harshing our con”
@BasedSolutions1@grok Tapping out and begging the AI to help you cope about what's in Scripture? Nothing to say about the passages I just cited or their pertinence to the proposition that Christianity was always Zionist?
Been reading writings of early church fathers from the 2nd to the 5th century this morning. They all believed in a future restoration of Israel.
Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Origen, John Chrysostom, Augustine, Cyril of Alexandria, Jerome... the belief that God would fulfill his promises to Israel and restore them as a nation and a people of God once the "fullness of the Gentiles was brought in" was widespread among the early church fathers.
This belief began re-emerging in the 1500s as the printing press made it possible for people to read the Bible for themselves after 1000 years of the state church hiding it from them. Christian Zionism, before it was even an official movement, began re-emerging as a belief among Christian populations who actually read their Bibles. The puritans were Zionist. The devout Baptists of the 1600s who separated from a corrupt and worldly Anglican church were Zionist. The anglo saxon protestants who founded America were Zionist.
Like it or not, these beliefs are baked into the DNA of America.
Read your Bible. It's all right there. It's God's holy word, and it really does hold the answers to your questions.
@BasedSolutions1 This, of course, directly implies that Jesus did not consider the founding of the church and the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel to be synonymous.
@BasedSolutions1 What Jesus actually has to say about this is "It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority." Acts 1:7. He then goes on to directly instruct them to found the church. . .
@BasedSolutions1 Acts 1:6, the only question the apostles are depicted directly asking the resurrected Jesus is “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
@lporiginalg@Know_More_News I'm not denying that Christians are going to be a large contingent of any anticommunist/leftist coalition. However, nationalism is based on the instincts of racial preservation, not the bible (unless you're Jewish, in which case those can be the same thing). . .
@lporiginalg@Know_More_News Pretty sure I can remember at least one prominent western nationalist movement that included significant non-Christian elements in recent times. . .
@AnthonyCumia That Conclave film which won all those oscars recently is a good example. Perfectly passable ecclesiastical drama until they throw in a completely unnecessary 2 minute scene at the end with a bait and switch troon pope for no reason--dumb enough to ruin the entire film.
@BobFakeNameEsq Your permission to unilaterally rewrite rules of public etiquette at your own discretion has been revoked. Maybe you guys shouldn't have blown all that power on spreading this mental illness/sexual fetish/turning yourself into a weaponized walking lawsuit social contagion.
