Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

[Romanov2488]

Odd how your Cultural Marxism reveals itself again. Are women equally capable of evil as men are? Are you able to answer a question without returning a question? The implication of your question is that BECAUSE women should not be punished, there might as well be open season on killing babies!

It's so odd you ask me this question since there is already on the books the crime of murder with associated punishment.

'Cultural Marxism' Catching On

'Cultural Marxism,' a conspiracy theory with an anti-Semitic twist, is being pushed by much of the American right.

I think Religious Fanaticism is more of an issue than any kind of invented Cultural Marxism

The difference between faith and fanaticism - The Daily Guardian

A person of faith recognises the truth that God is, whoever it may be, for him and others, while a fanatic is certain that only s/he knows who or what God is and is blinded by her/his passion. That is where differences between the two arise.

thedailyguardian.com

The difference between faith and fanaticism runs along similar lines. Fanaticism results from being blinded by the intensity of the luminosity of one’s own religious tradition by standing too close to it, instead of seeing the whole world transfigured in its light. The person of faith also stands close to his or her tradition but lives in the light, not in darkness. Unlike the fanatic, the person of faith realizes that faith, almost by definition, is faith in things unseen, and that when we say we have faith in God, we also acknowledge that we cannot quite really know the whole of God. Some would even say we cannot know God at all, but we can relax that position and say that we can know God in some ways. But most will acknowledge, even the most faithful, that we can only know God as we can relate to God, not to God as God, not to God as God is by himself, herself, or itself. Right there we have a built-in check which prevents honest and profound faith from degenerating into fanaticism, because fanaticism presumes to know what God is. It is strange that sometimes religions tend to believe that they have a monopoly on God and that’s where fanaticism comes in. But if they examine the concepts of God in their own traditions, they will find that the traditions insist that one cannot know God fully.

But the genuine seeker after truth realizes that we ourselves cannot know everything conclusively, except perhaps for the conclusion that ‘God is.’ Admittedly, there is a discomfort involved here. But if we can live with it—and all genuine faith recognises that we have to—then we have a built-in check against fanaticism, in faith itself.

Another distinction gains importance in this context. Whether one is a person of faith or a fanatic also depends on our attitude towards other people of faith. If we are certain that the people of other faiths are condemned, and abide by the ‘legal’ conception of one’s identity, then we have no purchase on our spirituality. If, however, we realise that only God can pronounce such a judgement and not mere human beings, then, as people of faith, it might be easier for us to understand that there are other people who are also people of faith like us. And that if we deny them their right to their faith, then in a sense we are questioning our own faith, or at least our humanity. Actually, when you become a fanatic, then in a sense, instead of worshiping God, you start playing God. Thus, like any other passion, even religious or moral passion can blind a person

Another fear-driven conspiracy theorist. Did you know conspiracy theories tend to hijack the underdeveloped mind? Some theories coming true isn’t evidence that all other theories will also be true.

Really good article here from an American pastor who highlights beautifully much of the reason Christianity is in such decline in the USA.

Discarding Guilt and American Christianity to Follow Jesus

Guilt is a powerful drug. Once it has its hooks in you, once it enters your bloodstream, it can impossible to get yourself free. For twenty years I’ve been a pastor in the local church, and I know how insidious and pervasive guilt-addiction is in American Christianity. I’ve seen the way the...

"For twenty years I’ve been a pastor in the local church, and I know how insidious and pervasive guilt-addiction is in American Christianity. I’ve seen the way the Church has gladly been the dirty dealer. There is a seductive power that comes when you can wield shame over another human being, especially when you can do it as a surrogate of God—when eternity and damnation hang in the balance. It can be crippling.

Guilt makes people suppress questions.
It makes them conceal doubts.
It softens their passionate objections.
It slowly quiets their voices of dissension.
It causes them to make peace with compromises.
It makes them stay long after they have realized they should leave.

Fear of rejection and the desire to belong don’t magically leave us in Middle School, and the Church understands this. Pastors and celebrity preachers will paint faith as some clearly marked out, all-or-nothing proposition:

You either consent fully to their party line or you willingly rebel against your Maker.
You either sign-off on their specific version of Christianity or you become the defiant, wasteful prodigal.
Guilt says that there is either faithfulness or apostasy, truth or heresy—there is no middle ground on which to stand. This stark, binary picture of religion allows them to define what devotion to Jesus looks like even if it looks nothing at all like Jesus—and they get you to buy in. Worst of all, this guilt gradually numbs people to the voice of God within"

. . .

"Right now millions of good, faithful people are sobering-up and realizing that they have been lied to. The scales are coming off of their eyes, and they are beginning to see that what they believed was Christ’s church, has morphed into something quite terrible. In fact, they have come to the conclusion that they can no longer participate in this twisted mutation of Jesus, marked not by the stigmata of sacrifice but the stigma of shame. They are being pulled toward Christlikeness—and right out of the building.

This year’s Presidential campaign has illustrated more succinctly and clearly than ever that Jesus is of little concern or use to a loud and influential percentage of those who claim faith. In fact, his self-sacrifice, care for others, and his burden for the marginalized are now a liability. In today’s Trumped-up American Christianity, compassion is somehow seen as a character flaw. Benevolence is a moral failure. Kindness is a weakness. Peacemaking is sinful."

"Our Christian faith tradition is now so fully entwined with American Nationalism, Conservative political power, and white privilege that it really bears no resemblance to Jesus of Nazareth or to the movement described in the New Testament. The best, most spiritual, most God-honoring thing we can do now may be to leave, not because Jesus is no longer a concern, but because he is the only concern.

There is an authentic community of people organically assembling in these days; that quiet, pervasive yeast in the dough Jesus speaks of in the parables. They are disciples who are fully horrified at the Church they once felt at home in, and they are certain that there is something more life-affirming outside of it. I agree with them."

Do you also believe in the Great Replacement theory where whites are being replaced in society?

Fact.

 

[Romanov2488]

Fact.

Why? Because minorities are proving themselves to be just as competent and your elitist/classist mindset prevents you from taking personal responsibility as opposed to blaming others?

What does that mean? Of course there are borders. The US and every single country has them. In fact, they define a country.

Don't kid yourself. "Cultural Marxism" wouldn't be understood by 99% of Fox viewers.

 

[Jim B]

Fact.

If the great replacement theory is fact, that shows two things. a) You don't know what a "theory" is an b) you have no evidence to support your tehory.

 

[Behold]

There is this odd mindset that has infected a lot of American's, in that they believe that denying anyone their right to illegally cross the border into America and right into the Food Stamp and free Healthcare line.........is "hate speech".

CNN and MSNBC teach this doctrine to their hand puppets.

They see a "border" as a denial of the civil rights of an illegal alien.

My dear sir. Cultural Marxism has it backwards. It’s not that minorities were ever competent but rather always the minority, by definition, out of power.

Cultural Marxism falsely asserts they are out of power for oppressor v oppressed dichotomies.

That’s disingenuous when the majority of Americans would agree with me, all media aside. CNN and MSNBC also weren’t the ones who ended up with over a $700 million lawsuit and where their founder came out saying that they knew the network was spreading lies from the get go.

Swipe that white priviledge card. The fascist take is that there’s always no oppression or racism. Turning a blind eye to these issues is a hallmark of fascism.
