In any other group, I would have gone further. But I like this group, and I’ve said all that needs to be said.
What group is it?
Clerical Dress
They post vestments and the like.
Ahhh
>ask for Bible verses
>quote the Epistles
>bUt JeSuS DiDn’T sAy ThAt
It’s one thing to believe in Sola Scriptura, but dismissing the Epistles is a WHOLE new ballpark.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hang those who un-ironically quote “judge not” in theological arguments.
Are there any solid books available on Kindle that any of you would recommend? Preferably free, but if not, that's fine.
I’m afraid not. I’m more of a hard-copy chap.
This is the cover photo of one of the queer-sympathisers I’m arguing with;
Imagine my shock.
I'm more of a physical copy myself too. But I'm down with free. Plus I can throw pdfs of super expensive books on it. My plan is to just slowly acquire physical copies of all my Kindle books slowly but surely.
And YIKES, that's a scary cover photo
I’m in quite a few internet arguments today.
It reminds me why I promised myself I’d avoid them.
I can't do them anymore
I so rarely get dragged into one anymore
i stay away
And even when I do, I just usually leave
I'm like "I'm leaving now"
I’m arguing with one chap about Francisco Franco, and whether he acted reasonably within Christian teaching.
One thing that is troubling me is the war rapes committed by his army.
I can’t find a condemnation issued by him anywhere.
Let's be honest though...we're never going to be able to justify everything he did.
Just like how Maoists can't justify everything Mao did. Or Leninists. Or Nazi supporters. We can go on a long journey for that.
Just because no one is perfect
God, I have way too many liberal friends. Some who are SUPER liberal too. A few actual socialists and communists too.
I doubt most internet discussions are actually doing anything
Go talk to your friends on the left in real life, much more productive
That's usually what I do
They know where I stand
I just keep my mouth shut
I really doubt there was some high number of war rapes that needed to be addressed. That sounds like terrible propaganda
And even if there were, the Republicans were just as guilty
Didn't Franco get praised by the pope at the time?
Catholic morality condemns rape. So if Franco is praised by the pope for being a good Catholic i think that basically gives us an answer on what his opinion would have been on the matter of rape, wether he said it or not
