i actually enjoy, in a way, being surrounded by liberals.

my town: overtly liberal anywhere within a 5-mile radius of downtown(where i spend 90% of my time)
my family: conservatism is heresy
jew i live with: ultra-progressive
my job: full of millenial and genz who just repeat liberal talking points

i feel like a warrior. i debate anyone who i think won't lose their mind, and get off on it. when i can't debate peacefully, i drop subtle hints and see if people pick up on them. otherwise, i practice self-control.

because of this, i get tons of practice arguing certain ideas, and i think im better for it. ive been doing this for a while now.

Persecution is good for the spirit

It breeds strong faith

It breaks the weak though

Good.

Most of the time anyway.

I was weak, and it broke me for a short bit of time

I came back stronger though.

Still, persecution is only good for people who rise to some amount of virtue beforehand. For the confused people today, it will only cause more people to deconvert and never look back. Then again, we're living in a time of great tribulation, so maybe that's in accordance to God's justice.

We should still show 'some' mercy though, not much.

but is God conservative?

God is beyond any ideology

does serving God mean being conservative?

*as its defined in the modern world

Tough question

Modern world say yes

But we shouldn't allow ourselves to be considered conservative, but as Christians

God is true conservative. He makes the Law and never changes it

Hmmm

Interesting

@ninjacats I live near Chicago

So I know what it's like for most people to be ultra liberal

@pinkfloydfan123 im not all that far from Chicago myself, relatively speaking. my family is from Chicago, if that says anything, which i think it does lol

Ok here’s a weird but serious religious question

Let’s say your married

And then you die

But you lived a good life and go to heaven

But your wife remarries

And lives a good life and dies and goes to heaven

Is it you, your wife, and the third guy?

All chillin awkwardly in heaven?

Or do you not get to spend eternity with her?

Hmm

Y'all probably chillin

But in a way isn’t that a hell

No

Because being in heaven comes with some perks

There is no marriage in heaven, it's an earthly state. In heaven and perfection you are in perfect union with Christ

Like full understanding

You still get to love your spouse, but heaven you're beyond earthly emotions and experiencing true, objective, conceptually perfect love
