therattle posted:Oh, I totally agree, and I have had those thoughts before. That's why I said a few weeks ago that I'd be curious to see a progressive Christian candidate take on the conservative Christian Right, because they'd be able to argue from a position of knowledge and belief how un-Christian the Right's positions are. I've definitely referenced it before, but it's beautifully encapsulated by that Jeesuz-Jesus illustration. There are more left wing Catholics out there than you'd expect though they don't really seem to hold a lot of electoral sway. The best we've seen in terms of a non right wing Christian candidate recently is, ugh, Tim Kaine.

Disappointed it's Gaston's little buddy that's gay, I just assumed Lumière and Cogsworth would be gettin' it on.Magic Hate Ball posted:Christianity, to me, is being invited to a pizza party that turns out to be some kind of religious culling and someone tells me that black people are born with "more sin" while everyone eats those gross, thick cookies you get from Sam's Club. I went sledding with a friend once, and afterwards the group met up for pizza, and it turned out to be some weird church group, they made us play some bible trivial pursuit. It was literally this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb9OCWOUnCM Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:None of those people actually believe what they say they believe, they just believe that they should believe. Which causes more than enough damage on its own, but you'd be in the streets screaming about hellfire and flagellating yourself if you actually believed that poo poo. What they're actually terrified of is that their lives are meaningless and that they're gonna disappear like a wisp of smoke when it's over, so they're constantly trying to convince everyone and themselves of how serious this all is. I remember seeing some theory floating around that American Christians hate Muslims so much, because devout faith makes them feel like frauds. Christianity has become, maybe going to church on Sundays, definitely holidays, and the rest of the time, whatever, maybe shout you're a good Christian if someone challenges your opinion on something. Interesting though, it's not the entirety of it, but I do believe that could be a key component.

Leftist Catholics are my favorite group of people who subscribe to a religious belief I think is vaguely ridiculous. .

The biggest tell was always that someone my age would be wearing a tie, and also a lot of people would be smiling.

I don't believe that you can be a true progressive and also a Christian. Also, speaking of horrible people who love Jesus, why are liberals suddenly pretending that George W. Bush isn't a total loving monster who belongs in prison just because he did some fun water colors?

long-rear end nips Diane posted:They have short memories It's not a question of short memories; again, it's a question of being deeply invested in the idea that the Republicans are supposed to be the "loyal opposition" and that actual political conflict over things that matter is just some nightmare we're all going to wake up from. Samuel Clemens posted:Nice diss on liberation theology, Cardinal Ratzinger. Yeah this whole half-page kind of reeks of over-generalization. Christianity might be incompatible with humanism, and that's not an insignificant difference, but it's not incompatible with progressive causes. I mean the social/historical significance of Christianity when it emerged alone should speak to that.

Theoretically you can be a Christian progressive, but why would you want to be? I don't at all understand religious tribalism. Jingoist infighting between sects of faith is one of the biggest mistakes the human race has made because it's all incomprehensibly stupid bullshit that has somehow managed to utterly cripple our movement forwards by distracting us with nonsense warfare and petty, nation-destroying slapfights.

Hey, if we do a whip round and collect a cool 1/4 million pounds then we can get Tony Blair to come and lecture us on the finer points of faith, globalisation, being a middle east envoy, flip-flopping between various sects of Christianity, giving post-massacre damage-limitation advice, needing a quarter million a year of tax-payer money for private security, and being the toadiest of war criminals.

George Bush wasn't a psycopath, he basically did what any slightly right wing manager of a Wal-Mart would have done, that he's so loving ordinary in the rest of his life is what makes it so loving terrifying.

George Bush is a Ivy League educated Yankee that somehow managed to create the illusion that he was a simple Southern rancher/Washington Outsider not the closest thing America has to nobility. So PR is obviously his strong side. He only seems alright due to nostalgia and to a much more overtly evil republican being on the throne.
