They didn't defy anything

2020-02-17 22:05:45 UTC  

slavery used to be part of the culture, so you yourself, as a Christian traditionalist, harken back to the olden days of the empire built upon slave labor in the name of Jesus and his desciples

2020-02-17 22:05:59 UTC  

Except, you wish for Christian traditionalism

2020-02-17 22:06:01 UTC  

You yourself just said the bible never explicitly states its right or wrong, so they couldn't defy it by abolishing it

2020-02-17 22:06:14 UTC  

That specific kind doesn't safeguard one from slavery

2020-02-17 22:06:27 UTC  

The American slave system was beyond heretical

2020-02-17 22:06:47 UTC  

Biblical slavery was much closer to modern employment

2020-02-17 22:07:05 UTC  

Not quite the same of course

2020-02-17 22:07:30 UTC  

still you needed to break tradition to say that slavery is wrong, unjust, and should always be fought against

2020-02-17 22:07:47 UTC  

you're a Christian traditionalist, right?

2020-02-17 22:08:11 UTC  

Why not just be a Christian? And you can practice your traditions as you please without making others do so as well?

2020-02-17 22:08:43 UTC  

I mean, I don't believe you when you say food and Christmas. And saying "Christianity" is so vague that it asks whole other set of who,what,where,when,why, and how?

2020-02-17 22:08:57 UTC  

I'm getting off topic lol

2020-02-17 22:09:20 UTC  

Have I said slavery is intrinsically wrong?

2020-02-17 22:09:32 UTC  

based

2020-02-17 22:10:04 UTC  

It's wrong in our context, and intrinsically wrong in the way we practiced it

2020-02-17 22:11:40 UTC  

Morality is subjective

2020-02-17 22:11:57 UTC  

There is no such thing as true objective morality.

2020-02-17 22:12:12 UTC  

How's that?

2020-02-17 22:12:24 UTC  

My point is that traditionalism isn't a personal way of life, it's a social prescription. So when you say "Christian traditionalist" I have to prod the fuck out of you to see if you really want all of Christianity back or if you actually just want something else but think you want Christianity back. Traditionalism gets dark really fast. With things like food and holidays, it's easier for you to say:
"I like some of the unique things different cultures brings to the world and how we can gather to enjoy them".
That's the worldview I've taken away so far from the information I've gathered

2020-02-17 22:12:55 UTC  

@moira holy fuck you down even know about the fulfillment of the old law?

2020-02-17 22:13:13 UTC  

@Coldfish that's a strong claim, support it

2020-02-17 22:14:17 UTC  

@moira I'll explain what traditionalism is and isn't when I get back

2020-02-17 22:14:33 UTC  

you will probably argue for a reformation of it, rather than traditional values

2020-02-17 22:14:44 UTC  

Not at all

2020-02-17 22:15:11 UTC  

I'm avidly pro patriarchy, hierarchy, chastity, etc

2020-02-17 22:15:18 UTC  

Reformation means changing the values when I say that

2020-02-17 22:15:25 UTC  

I know

2020-02-17 22:15:33 UTC  

But I'm out for now

2020-02-17 22:16:15 UTC  

d.e.s.t.r.o.y.e.d

2020-02-17 22:18:33 UTC  

Being a traditionalist in general is bad. Imagine how bad Christian Traditionalism is.

2020-02-17 22:19:08 UTC  

I'm no Christian but I think that Traditions exist for a good reason

2020-02-17 22:19:10 UTC  

Especially when Christian Traditionalists encourage the return of the values of the first century AC.

2020-02-17 22:19:56 UTC  

yes

Traditions are fine, and it's good to have them, but Traditionalists don't really care about eating turkey on Thanksgiving. What they mostly care for, is the return of traditional/conservative values.

2020-02-17 22:22:55 UTC  

wow good job

2020-02-17 22:22:58 UTC  

you figured it all out

2020-02-17 22:25:02 UTC  

If you want to try and hurt my feelings, then cope harder. The channel is dedicated to debates regarding religion, and uncensorable insults, as well as ironies, shitposting, and generally being a jerk and therefore destroying the conversation/debate is not allowed. You can do so in <#587015719141507102>.

2020-02-17 22:25:57 UTC  

There is no conversation, you just described what traditionalism is, and acted like no one knew that before ya

2020-02-17 22:26:04 UTC  

but alright, i apologize for hurting your feelings
