Church is not full of holy people. Its full of sinners. You will be disappointed if you had the wrong expectations. Its something I've had to learn the hard way. Surprise surprise there are assholes in church. But you didn't come to church for them. You came to church for Christ.
@itsallofth28590@BreTweetz Oh shame has always worked? Really? And is your shaming working on Asmongold right now? Is he changing? I think not. There is a way to shame people without trying to shame people. Its by having a humility that outshines their assumptions. Coals of kindness.
@itsallofth28590@BreTweetz How often does that actually work though? Because as soon as you start shaming someone they interpret it as an attack. You must enter into their framework and illuminate it from within. Not attack it from outside. Not everyone has the same ontological clarity as you do.
@Rev_says_desu People look at Paul and pretty much call him a con artist that mislead Christianity already. 90% of people have no historical literacy when it comes to traditional, liturgical, Christianity.
Well I spent my day being a terminally online twitter user. No girlfriend in sight for 1000s and 1000s of miles. And strangely I think I accept that. Now I'm drinking and smoking. Life is good.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice I just ran this entire conversation through Copilot and Copilot told me I handled the whole conversation with nuance while you were pretty much misunderstanding me. I feel like this is a win for me.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice This kinda boils down to the pointing out of moral weaponization. I think my point was valid and your basically trying to negate by calling my pointing it out moral weaponization. Thats just mirroring. Rhetoric not philosophy.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice Furthermore I don't see how you can have a problem with my public 'rebuke' when TT was publicly calling for Asmongold to be sent to a gulag.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice Um...you started this argument with me. I just pointed out the incoherence of your polemics against me. If anything you've been the bad faith actor. I even tried to end it amicably but you had to have the last word to say something kinda shitty.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice I was thinking of it more as a goodwill intention but no matter how its framed your going to frame me as some kind of moral failure just because I disagreed with you which you also frame as an attack. I wonder how your going to correct me in the next reply.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice By that logic I must be virtue signaling if I say thank you to someone in a public place. It wasn't a prayer it was me personally blessing you. I have no animosity to you whatsoever but you are coping hard.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice Friend, you don't know what spirit you are of. I'm not a perfect man but you don't define my reality. God does. Bless you and your family and have a wonderful day.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice So now we're making sweeping generalizations about Christians who belong to a particular fandom. Fascinating morality. That is so fair. You're a true Solomon.
@Smithpants1@TemplarsVoice Twitter is public discourse. Aren't you rebuking me publicly now? By your own criteria you're the one now shaming me. I really don't see how you stand morally higher than me right now. Whats a SWC?
We can correct something someone says without it being framed as a crusade, disagreement is not the same as an attack, a gentle rebuke is not the same as punishment, pointing out error is not shaming someone.
