A common criticism of Catholics is that they have far too many pagan characteristics

🚔

I think this is a relatively civil discussion where no real argument is going on

It’s historical more than theological

@DixieBoy76 - KY good job modding the mods man

Sorry @ThisIsChris

I don't see an issue with this convo as long as people don't take it personally or get divisive.

@DixieBoy76 - KY no I'm being serious, thanks for taking the rules seriously

I’m not trying to come off as pretentious.

And, thanks.

@DixieBoy76 - KY you're not

Yeah, rule 3 exists to change the subject when people get angry at their computer screens while discussing religion.

Lmao

But just keep in mind that it’s a sensitive subject.

@Reinhard Wolff Did you get my message about dues?

Yeah, I’ll take a look a little later.

Thanks

Yeah people (leftists, atheists) like to say Christians “stole” pagan culture to include in Catholicism which is in my opinion ridiculous. The pagans who converted brought their culture and traditions into the faith with them

So I am still registered Democrat. Do I start canvassing for Tariq??

They say something similar about Rome “stealing” Greek culture

Or Tulsi?

Which is also ridiculous

About 100 years ago I would’ve been Democrat

But then they went commie

angry black men will destroy Kamala Harris' campaign 😂

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN what is Tariq's platform?

I'm thinking of changing to Democrat

Idk why or how and someone in the Identitarian movement needs to write a book about how the Dems lost their minds

@ThisIsChris Accidental hilarity

there's literally no point to being a Republican in New York City outside of certain enclaves

100 years ago Dems were pro-White and pro-farmer / worker

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I like Tulsi's anti-war thing

Whereas Republicans were the party of big business and union-busting

I’ll stop my sperg tangent though because it’s probably not applicable to the topic

People say there was a pole switch, but I don't think the Rs and Ds changed *that* much over the last century

they knew what they were doing

I mean, the Democrats used to be the party of the common White Southern man

Whereas republicans represented elites and unfettered capitalism

@ThisIsChris hmm... about that Jesus thing: not to religious post too much, but Jesus was practically the anti-thesis of *everything* Jewish. The Jews have been slandering Jesus since he was born on Earth, and as far as I'm aware, they're the only people peacefully exposed to Christianity who haven't converted. <:thinkplant:359034245777457173>

The republicans were not just elites and unfetted capitalism

@The Eternal Anglo that's a good point!
