I am always curious when I see things like that. Did they actually read a book or go to an academic talk where someone advanced that as a serious idea, or did they just wake up one day, think that up, and decide it sounded right?

Gross Dude posted:I had a roommate in college who did the whole "Christ Follower" thing. The logic behind it is that Christianity is a religion and religions are bad. So instead, they choose to be Christ Followers. As far as I could tell it just meant fundamentalist Christian. There's also some Christians who claim that Christianity isn't a religion, but a "connection to God" or something along those lines. I'm not sure what the difference is supposed to be.

It's the convenient way in which they can still label themselves as a Christian (and therefore Are Good People) without having to actually bother with pesky Christian tenets that require effort, time, or sacrifice.

That makes sense, but my guess was that one of them is a series of beliefs about the world, life, creation and the beyond. While the other one is right.

I'm not sure what the difference is supposed to be. It is, in my experience, an attempt to argue that christianity should get around ‘no religion in gov. Buildings’ statutes. It also is very much then saying ‘well it’s not like your fake religion, mine is TRUE’ or a response to learning that all religions have a mythology and are most likely just stories we tell each other about the big scary unknowable parts of life. Except theirs, which is totally true, they wouldn’t believe a potentially fake religion.

oldpainless posted:I don’t describe myself as religious but as spiritual That distinction is fairly common. Lots of people believe in something, but draw that line at having to essential swear fealty to an organization. Considering how hosed up so many religious organizations are I can't say I'm surprised. Hell, I was in that boat myself for the longest time until I finally slid into agnosticism. Otoh you have a whole crowd of irredeemable piles of human filth who refuse to acknowledge their lovely ways and claim to have some sort of faith without having to actually put any effort in.

That would make sense as most of our histories are from our perspective and we didn’t bother doing much research on others. So that’s literally the only way rape would come up for natives

Y'all missed the followup before she locked her count. She posted a picture of herself up wearing a bikini, tagging the two following accounts for some reason? https://twitter.com/abrowndoinstuff https://twitter.com/Claritamonae (that reason being of course she's a dumb racist.) The worst part of THAT? All the weird old white guys thirsting over her.
