I've never understood what taking the lords name in vain means more than when I started looking into the ramblings of false prophets. There's just something so sick and offputting about listening to someone proclaim unbiblical nonsense based on political affiliation or cold reading tier guesswork and then proclaim it all in the name of Jesus so they can collect money from gullible idiots.

Then I think about how mad I get when people try to put words in my mouth and start claiming I said things I never said...and now imagine those words being put in your mouth are being used to con money out of your family and loved ones in your name. Imagine your kids racing to destruction under your banner because someone told them you said things you didn't.

It's a lot bigger of a deal than just muttering Jesus under your breath when something shocks you.

This is me with everything. I enjoy many things but I hate fandom of anything, liking stuff is well and good but fandom is always cringe. The root of the word fan is fanaticism and fanaticism is gay. Being obsessed with and making some passing entertainment your personality is what people find offputting. It's no different if its anime, video games, marvel, sports, politics or harry potter. I think conventions are a good barometer for me. When the obsession reaches the point where you dress as characters and you pay money to go stand in a crowded smelly room just to be advertised to with other people who also like the thing...that's where I'm like ok time to take a chill pill and get a life. Not even saying all cosplay is like that I know there's artists who just like making costumes and people who do it professionally and only have a passing interest if any at all. It's the 'I love this thing so much i wanna wear it like a skinsuit' vibe that's a problem.

Another not nerd example is tailgating, there are people who pay money to stand outside the arena where a game is happening, I dunno just seems like paying a hooker to watch someone else have sex with her, kinda weird and pathetic.

All those memes about "I love anime but I hate people who watch anime" are me but with playing video games.

so done with watching conservatives and libs have a social justice progressive stack slapfight over who's uwu group of protected peoples is more oppressed. You guys are all such fags.

How many chemicals are used before the food reaches our plate?

I don't think jews controls the world, a satanic cabal does... but this is insanely intellectually dishonest you should be mocked for posting it. This is like going so you think the government controls America and posting a map of America showing how much of the map is government buildings and how much is privately owned buildings and thinking that's an argument for the concept that the government doesn't actually have any control. But it's even dumber that that because you're also pretending all these countries are ideological monoliths, you're ignoring both that atheism exists while pretending that a majority of a population belonging to the faith is the same as a religious theocracy. You're pretending that section of land is only inhabited by jews and that they don't live anywhere else...both retarded lies.

This is the stupidest thing I've seen all day if you're going to post propaganda be better at it retard.

Jews control the world? Huh?

wow that slippery slope from hate speech sure got slick pretty. Not that it was needed but this is just further confirmation that the conspiracy theorists were right all along.

A CENSORSHIP FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ORCHESTRATED IT, LOOK WHO THEY ARE.

We all know this is clearly staged right? Now since we all know that I have a question about what the purpose of this is. Is it to fool people into making it go viral for some sort of ad based revenue...maybe but why make it so clearly fake then. Is this just an example of making up a guy to be mad about...but with the follow through of involving other people and creating a skit out of it. Is it an attempt to encourage some type of behaviour? Is this an ad the transport company runs as a way to in a sort of funny way remind people it's polite to give up their seat for people who need it more? I just don't get it...it's like one of those street prank shows but there's no person being pranked...they're all just actors so it just looks stupid and pointless.

she was a psyop to get people on board for the subscription economy. Throw out your books and get an ereader where it's easier to censor delete and ban books digitally, throw out your cds and just subscribe to itunes or spotify, throw out your movies and just buy 10 streaming services. Own nothing and be happy...I mean declutter and spark joy.

“No one came to Google to work on offensive military technology” 

- Vidana Abdel Khalek wrote in her mail resigning from Google on March 25 addressing to company leaders, including CEO Sundar Pichai, announcing her decision to quit in protest over Project Nimbus.

You work for Google knowing how evil Google is and what it does for the Military-Industrial Complex and other entities that commit human rights violations, but you want to draw the line at Google helping Israel so you're seen as a Good Person™? No.

You spent 2+ years screaming for the police and military to crack down on protestors during Covid, now that the police are starting to go against your protests, you want the people you spent years advocating state violence against to help you against state violence? No.

You wanted to create a medical-apartheid society, you wanted concentration camps for the unvaccinated and for people to have to show papers to go to the grocery store, and you expect people to take you seriously about being against Israel's apartheid policies? No.

You claim to want to boycott entities like Starbucks and McD's for supporting Israel, and to draw attention to companies like Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin who do the same, until June rolls around, then you're sipping your rainbow Starbucks latte on the Raytheon pride parade float. No.

The left has lost all credibility in every singe category of activism they could possibly claim. No one is coming to help you, because anyone who might be in a position to has a long memory of state-sponsored abuses at your hands.

Scream your histrionics to the wind, clutch your pearls, hold up your signs. The world is waiting for what always happens- you to pack it in once the establishment gives you your election year directions to not make the incumbent blue administration look bad and "remain calm and vote blue, no matter who".

And you will, with a smile on your face. Why? Because above all else you are obedient and proud, and your greatest personal achievement is approval from authority figures.

The authority the Bible says to obey is God not the government. The original greek word that was taken to mean government is simply the greek word for authority. So the interpretation that this means the governments authority is a massive stretch we essentially added an extra word. The reason this is such a massive misinterpretation and the reason it persists despite scrutiny is because its convenient for statist Christians but also because the greeks did not have a separate word for government so translators can be forgiven for thinking this just meant government...but if its to be understand in that context there would have to be a separate word meaning non governmental authority but it's not there so it can't be read as government authority it can only be read as authority and then it is up to you the reader to decide if it means government or God. That's where context also is important because around the Romans 13 verse is talk only of God not a state government. Why wasn't the greek wording clearer you might ask... because it was viewed that the government was the ruling authority of the gods so they had no need for conceptualizing a state government as separate from the authority of the gods. It was likely a purposeful manipulation by the government at the time...they literally had no word for dividing the concept of divine authority from government authority...if you buy into socrates at all he was put to death in part for questioning this monotheistic orthodoxy.

This worldview through this misinterpretation has infected Christianity and we simply altered the understanding of government authority coming from Zeus and olympus to being from the real God. The Bible never in any other part claims God rules the world through the governments of the world, that notion contradicts so many other passages. in the old testament through Samuel God claims even desiring a king is a rejection of God and strongly advised against it. Jesus claimed his kingdom was not of this earth and rejected satan when satan offered him all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for worshipping him.

Much of the old testament is God laying out how a stateless society with God as it's moral center would function even outlining how minor disputes should be settled. The Bible is an anarchist book.

Fuck a state where Christians are the authority. No state and God as the only authority is the real answer.

I feel like this reminder is necessary: you are first a Christian. You are a Christian before you are a Republican or a democrat or a libertarian. You are a Christian before you are an American. You are a Christian before you are any other title you may bear in this life. And if any of your secondary titles are causing you to act in a way that isn’t Christlike or it is distorting your worldview, then you need to reassess. You have a heart issue and a priority issue, my friend. You have a heart issue BECAUSE of a priority issue.

Christ first. Always.

Avril Lavigne was actually quoting Ecclesiastes when she said chill out, whatcha yellin for, lay back, it's all been done before.

cant get more fascist police state than snipers on rooftops overlooking peaceful protests.

this is what democracy looks like.

The right clearly didn’t learn from their teachable moment during covid vis a vis cops and the nature of ALL power, let’s see if the left learns from theirs as they’re now the ones being wholesale labeled Nazis by the same folks who once derided this tactic as “dishonest”

Let’s see if literally anyone comes out of this with a better understanding
