Fundamentalism

[Lightbringer]

Fundamentalism is the philosophy of the powerless, the conquered, the displaced and the dispossessed. Its spawning ground is the wreckage of political and military defeat, as Hebrew fundamentalism rose during the Babylonian captivity, as white Christian fundamentalism appeared in the American South during Reconstruction, as the notion of the Master race evolved in Germany following World War I. In such desperate times, the vanquished race would perish without a doctrine that restored hope and pride. Islamic fundamentalism ascends from the same landscape of despair and possesses the same tremendous and patient appeal. - Steven Pressfield

Can you see the difference between the Biden supporter and the Trump Supporter.

One believes we live in a fallen world, the other a hopeful world not yet to see its peak.

This word you keep using...fundamentalism...I do not think it means what you think it means.

 

[BidenPresident]

This word you keep using...fundamentalism...I do not think it means what you think it means.

It is a pretty vague term.

 

[Lightbringer]

It is a pretty vague term.

No it's not. What Gayrod meant to say was "non-secular"

 

[BidenPresident]

No it's not. What Gayrod meant to say was "non-secular"

great

 

[AProudLefty]

"Fundamentalism" is not a vague term. It means what it means.

 

[BidenPresident]

"Fundamentalism" is not a vague term. It means what it means.

you're a fucking moron

 

[Lightbringer]

great

Excellent response.

 

[Lightbringer]

you're a fucking moron

He is but so are you.

 

[Darth Omar]

Well you know who is to blame for it.

Fundamentalist Christians are at war with the nuclear family?

I don’t think so.

 

[Darth Omar]

Why did God give us free will? I never heard a theologian answer that. Do you know?

Because God desires a relationship with His created beings. Relationship requires commitment and commitment is impossible without free will.

 

[Darth Omar]

You cannot be serious, can you?

I refuse to believe you're serious.

The right-wing Christian fundamentalism has always been about forcing Christian education in public schools. And all about "cancelling" anything that is offensive to their "Christian values".

Well then, it seems we have a new breed of fundamentalists on the scene lol.

As I understand it, God created humans as rational beings.

Rational life forms are by definition imbued with free will.

No, I remember when Trump lied to us about it going away in the summer, and things crashing when the truth became evident.

 

[Jarod]

From you, (because you are always wrong) that is a complement .
