@James B I'm not shifting the conversation. Rewriting the new testament is censorship

Interesting take....The French and American Revolutions were completely different. Are you making an argument that non-believers will act the like the mobs of the French Revolution? Do you think non-believers will seek to dismantle the ideals of the American Revolution?

@Deleted User answer the questions

Or chat it out in voice

I cant, I am in a meeting

@everyone watch out for this one..

I am not mad, or anything..... promise

Just trying to understand

Aren't the mobs already doing that very thing. Removing statues and relics happened during that period of history

> Non believers make up more than half our population now so it is conceivable. And if history truly repeats itself then believers should have some concern. I'm speaking of the French revolution.
@Deleted User are you assuming those mobs are non-believers? also the french weren't exactly non-believers....Which is why I am trying to figure out your understanding of the those revolutions. This has similarities of the French Revolution, but it is not the same, not even by a long-shot.

I'm not necessarily suggesting that it will 100% happen. The similarities are interesting to study however.

Hey Travis can you pm me

The French revolutionaries were not necessarily non-believers. They were jacobins actually for the most part. But the revolution resulted in a banning of the bible and the erection of a new god. The god of reason.

A "god of reason" seems like an oxymoron to me

Joe rogan just started a Podcast with Ben shapiro

@Deleted User If you want to study similarities, the french revolution is good. Move onto the Bolshevik Revolution. These movements are more Marxist in nature. Some historians argue the French was the "beginning" of these types of movements. Unfortunately, it may have foreshadowed but it was not the start. Not until Engels and Marx enter the world stage. Then after the Bolshevik look into the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot. And somewhere between the two look into Maoist China.

Yeah and oddly enough Napolean came to power.

So much for a God of Reason

God is not a supernatural term necessarily but yeah I get it. It was really just a prostitute with her breasts hanging out being parade to Notre Dame cathedral in Paris

Gonna give the Joe rogan ben shapiro Podcast a watch be back in a while

The french revolution was anything but reasonable. It was nothing but mob rule

I was going to the Bolsheviks next. However they only outlawed Christianity

And still allowed churches in the East Germany

That was nazi but only Catholicism was allowed.

Nazi's were another form of state worship

The soviet union allowed churches in the GDR

French revolutions sucked

i have found many historians are in love with it.

Many historians are idiots it seems

They replaced a monarchy with mob rule

Ah but well read idiots

Then mob rule was undone by a different mob

Then a military dictator

Then monarchy again

They tore it all down without a plan what to build afterwards

That’s what makes it different from US

To be fair mob rule is trying to tear down our (USA) current system and im relatively sure they have no reasonable plan to rebuild

Exactly

I noticed the parallel a few weeks ago

Scary shit

I mean American revolution
