I don’t mind people going to Church and practicing their religion, as long as they stay in their lanes and they’re not trying to force their religious beliefs on everybody else. Trying to better yourself and your community is great, there’s a ton of really nice people out there who go to Church and are just all around good people. It’s all the assholes that think their belief trumps everyone else’s rights that need to eat shit.
The sun would be a good place, plenty of space.
None of my family were pilgrims. I don't think you can just ignore the tens of millions of immigrants from Europe who weren't pilgrims
I think their point is that the pilgrims set the cultural precedents for what would later become America, to which later immigrants would be beholden.
I don't know how true that is, but I think "protestant work ethic" is at least one example of that sort of thing.
I think they can make their own point and there response was much different than what you just said
Except it wasn't, your reading comprehension just sucks and you're needlessly aggressive about it
Except it was but hey go ahead and make it about me.
you made it about you, doofus
Generic you.
I think you're a dumb removed that made a completely worthless point about your family not being pilgrims. How bout that
Nope but D for trying.
The Pilgrims didn't come here first (of the Europeans). They were beaten by multiple different European groups.
I don't know. Why don't you ask the French traders that came before or the Spanish pushing upwards from the entire continent they had control over?
Not relevant to your argument. Also I am fairly confident you are mixing up the Pilgrims and the Purtains. But hey facts don't matter anymore so believe whatever you want.
Oh that is what you call it. "Helping". Cute.
"Staying in your lane" is the exact opposite of what Christians and Muslims are explicitly ordered to do. Convert acquisition is the primary objective of both faiths.
Well, I heard somewhere that it is written in the bible that those who scorn the bible will be visited by apocalypse, fire, earthquake, and flood which will obliterate your cities, but for those who believe in the bible will save themselves and find true redemption.
And I also heard somewhere it may have also stated in the Bible that the power and the greatness of God cannot be denied. Those who reject the Path to enlightenment must be destroyed.
Quote from the Bible?
It talks to Jews in ancient Israel about gods of nations that surrounded them.
Good job on discovering dispensationalism. About LGBT, there isn't a single place in Bible, old or new testament where isn't put in a positive light
That's just simple not true.
In the old testament it says that all homosexuals must be killed, and in the new testament that homosexuals cannot go to heaven.
How is that a positive light?
The Bible does not say that. What.
Huh, til
Exactly this.
Dont forget the part about having as many children as possible and convert them too.
There is no religion telling their servants to love their children even if they are not religious.
Honestly while I get that the whole "you do you" mantra is the politically appropriate line these days...
No, I'm fucking not ok with people practicing their religions.
I'm really not ok with people telling their children that it's not only possible for dead bodies to get back up and float up into the sky, but that it 100% happened and is the only reason they aren't going to suffer eternally.
I'll not ok with getting together to talk about how men are inherently better than women and that it was fine that an old dude raped a 9 year old because she was mature for her age.
I'm not ok with passing along the instructions that who your parents were defines an appropriate social caste for the rest of your life based on the supposed mechanics of resurrection.
These are not appropriate things for a modern society, and honestly I'm tired of pretending that it is fine.
Yes, I think the right to have the government not interfere in religion is important, but that's a separate issue from whether or not I'm 'fine' with the superstitions from an age when people peed on their hands to clean them continuing to be given a social pass purely out of respect for ancestral tradition.
The thing is the whole purpose of religion is to force beliefs into others to attract them into the religion and make them pay money. THAT'S LITERALLY WHY RELIGIONS WERE INVENTED.
There is no "Im religious but I let other live their lifes." They are constantly being told to invite friends and family to convert them and to have 10 children, so the children can be converted too.
I wouldn't say I mind it but like seeing someone passed out from drug use I would rather they didn't do that.
They need to start paying taxes too. Church is a business of graft.
