Interesting. Despite this, I strongly believe that race mixing, and mashing of cultures have consequences. Look at South Africa, they cant manage to live together under any circumstances.

Cultures that mash leads to destruction and segregation.

Japanese people are a result of Indigenous Islanders and South Chinese many thousands years ago, so they mixed! hah! There's no *PURE* Japanese 👈👈😎

and notice how all those disputes are entirely material and you are already reducing their temporal problems to the forefront of meaning

you've already given up on bonding people through the Church

Teachings from the scripture are not applicable in real life, k?

*Thinks*

You're right, @el pebble.

If we look back to the Pentecost in the Church of Acts we have Gentiles and Jews and Ethiopians in communion together

if the very first *koinonia* is ethnopluralist it's more of an issue we tie ourselves to Satan with than solve through God

What if the new people we want to "bond" with, does not wish to bond through communion, and would rather spread their own faith?

Oh fuck Rome's coming.

You are to defend your faith

that is different than warring over temporal and immutable differences

warring with black pagans who violently conquer to spread their religion in Christian areas is different than warring with blacks over ethnic differences

What do I do help

give them all ur land

I have one city.

hand it over willingly

Wha-?

if you actually look at history david cultures that tolerate and allow the dominant culture to be questioned result in the culture being more strongly established

clearly allowing unlimited criticism of Christianity has resulted in it's stronger establishment in Sweden and England while Islam withers away to Atheism in an Authoritarian Saudi Arabia.

how well does islam spread in the western world

changing the topic, i talked about dominant culture as did you

meanwhile saudi arabia seems to find it necessary to go to extreme and expensive measures to retain, only retain mind you, their understanding of islam as predominant in society

and the dominant culture globally is western culture

which is no culture at all

lol k

True. Western Culture is pretty... Gone.

how you figure that, doc?

What is Western Culture?

Starbucks, I guess.

liberal democracy, the scientific method, the philosophical legacy of the hellenists, enlightenment thinkers....

and yes, starbucks also

pop culture is also culture

high and low culture are both things

pop culture is the sewer

still culture mang

If you want to claim scientific method as part of a *Western Culture* fair enough I guess, but that has been under assault for a long time in the academia in favor of things like "lived experiences"

Its an insult to real culture

Liberal Democracy is withering away as we speak..
