My philosophy professor just referred to the MSM as maliciously ignorant.
I’m thriving
@Asatru Artist - MD right, but just cos people do get married for legal reasons, or companionship reasons, doesn't mean that's the purpose/definition of marriage historically. As in all of human history until now (Christianity being rather recent)
yeah
Morality being divided from long term survival and instead fastened to arbitrary post enlightment ideals is the root problem imo.
Pursuit of happiness as a right -> GAY
Even "civil unions" only became necessary, as people at the time saw it, because some companies were refusing to extend insurance and other benefits to, ahem, partners, and rather than taking the voluntarist route, and simply seeking out companies that would do business with them , they felt it necessary to flex and compel EVERYONE by ushering in the concept (of civil unions).
Gotta have a default state religion or no religion, for all these complicated social ties to mean anything to everyone
Idk how to say that more eloquently at the moment
(Disclaimer I myself have no established religion)
I don't like any religious laws being pushed because it will (and already has) allowed certain religions to use it against us.
2 Abrahamic religions come to mind specifically...
@missliterallywho Technically, that was pretty much a given from the Treaty of Westphalia to the American Revolution (a state religion in every principality, and later, nation-state). Wouldn't work for us at this point, but there was definitely some merit to it.
(don't worry Christians, I'm not throwing shade at you)
I have lot of thoughts on this since getting into medieval history recently but I don't want to get into tedious religious territory so I'll stop here.
If you aren’t a Mithraic Mystic what are you even doing
@Bjorn - MD agree
@Bjorn - MD Yeah, I'm talking current year in a country that is (most likely) too far gone.
Why does my church use Vimeo? Not opposed to it but just an interesting observation. They use it for uploading sermons and now livestreaming this national conference.
Churches should use Venmo for tithing. The priest could be like “yo hit up my Venmo with that collection money” during sermon
Lol I'm glad mine doesn't though.
Churches should launch holy wars to acquire more wealth
A black guy got up, in a conference about gay marriage, to mention blacks getting shot by the police, pay inequality, women/blacks not being appointed as church leaders. Who cares?
It's kinda weird that churches can't get involved in politics too much, which knee-caps their political influence and gives imbalanced political influence to secular institutions.
Its not weird when you realize athiestic quakerism is our state religion
Its just a semi tolerant theocracy.
But it doesnt allow political competition for state power
I kinda want to join the Border Patrol, get some time on the front
It has to do legally with non-profits not getting overly political, but it ends up reducing influence. Not good.
@NiceGuy Of course the black has to bring up totally unrelated issues to point out "inequality" (while being a part of the same conference as all the whites...) <:really:453005408064241674>

The US Blacks are what you'd think, but the African delegates seem to be on the side of conservatives Whites against gay marriage.
Did he also bring up how blacks disproportionately cause more crime? Or 13 do 50? 🤔 Probably not...
@The Eternal Anglo I explained my position on race mixing to my friend just by explaining that I'd rather have kids who like me and left it at that. She said it made sense. You can't push too hard with people. If someone was interested in the subject I'd tell them more, but generally it's good to have a short answer.
Nah he just said some discrimination platitudes that don't mean anything. Got cheers from liberals.
Strange how they only bring up "facts" that support their narrative of victimhood, not reality.
Riddle me this batman. What is only a meager 13% yet also is half? Answer soon before my rioting goons destroy this city! MWAHAAHAHAHAAHA

Ugh, can they super-ban gay marriage already, I'm trying to play Fortnite.
