Crime Antifa attacks Christians the Mayor of Seattle blames Christians

Good.

Just curious. Good in what way?

Sola Scriptards have no place in any kind of civilized society, much less being appointed to the nation's highest court.



I joke.

I should have been more specific. I was raised in a southern Baptist church and I'm not a fan. However, I went to a Methodist church several times with a school friend of mind and found them to be much more tolerant. The politics in my church got pretty ugly and was the main reason my family stopped going.

Ooh, that's a nasty one. SBC is the dominant denomination of the South and an anchor of the political religious right, so it's easy to see how you weren't vibing with it. I was born, baptized, and raised in ELCA churches (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America). I actually don't reflect on it and harbor negative feelings, but it was a straight line into adulthood agnostic before I became a Catholicism apologist with children baptized in the church.

The superiority of it on theological and liturgical front is staggering, nevermind in a cultural and historical sense. It damn well knows it is superior with direct lineage to historical Jesus of Nazareth himself, which is why it can just shrug off and smirk at all of the hostility and hatred. Prots & Evangelicals worship the Bible as if it dropped out of the sky as a divine gift from God himself, but it was written by men. Who the fuck do they think circulated, compiled, and formally canonized the New Testament?

Personally, I am not a church goer. I was just wondering if they were worse than evangelical. I think we have quite a few Catholics on the scotus but I am not sure what else

It essentially is evangelical.

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is a Christian denomination based in the United States. It is the world's largest Baptist organization, the largest Protestant, and the second-largest Christian body in the United States. In 1845, the Southern Baptists separated from the Triennial Convention to uphold the institution of slavery, as American society divided and split over racial attitudes preceding the American Civil War.

The SBC is a cooperation of fully autonomous, independent churches with commonly held essential beliefs that pool some resources for missions. Churches affiliated with the denomination are Evangelical in doctrine and practice, emphasizing the significance of the individual conversion experience. This conversion is then affirmed by the person being completely immersed in water for a believer's baptism.

A belief in a higher power

Geez you really went deep analysis for this one lol.

Yes. This is the basis of your argument. My argument is if you’re going to lump antifa in with all radical socialists then you have to also lump evangelicals with radicals who do harm on behalf of their god

which is a dumb argument as i already explained. try to keep up.

Apologies for applying your logic to the other side of your argument

Bush said god told him to invade Iraq. His secdef had Bible verses printed onto the daily war briefings.

Bush was very evangelical.

Trump has too much of an ego to get ptsd. PTSD is for the weak minded people, like me. I got mine from being shot at, stabbed, attacked, seeing too many fucked up dead bodies, and years of untreated depression. The shots that missed me were no where near as close at trumps but I just think he is too much of an asshole to actually be cognizant of his mortality.

There were reports that he was spending hours watching and rewatching the clip of him almost getting put down, but who knows. I can guarantee he’s not the type to go to therapy and talk about it. He has no wife to lean on and I doubt he has close, dear, loving friends to turn to for help processing things.

You bring up a good point about if/how narcissistic personality disorder affects PTSD. That would be interesting to learn more about

I was never one with a big ego but I did basically think myself indestructible at one point. I laughed when we got shot at and the ensuing madness and riot. It was so much fun….at the time. After waking up out of breath every night and my heart racing, a few days later, I had my first panic attack while clearing a burglarized house. I was never the type to take my gun out when searching a house, but on this occasion, I did. And I was sure there was someone around every corner. I started hyperventilating and thought I was having a heart attack and went to the ER. It wasn’t until I had kids that I realized how often I came close to death or serious injury and it really caught up with me quickly.
