  • I can't really speak to the other alternatives, but if someone offers you "mushroom coffee", don't take it if you were hoping for a cup of coffee.

    It tastes nothing like coffee. Maybe there's benefits from drinking mushroom juice, but all they're doing by calling it coffee is annoying would be coffee drinkers.

  • But, like, why? Why not say "here's a link to a discussion about just that"?

  • The triple quotes in combination with the implication that German policy is actually controlled by Israel does get my hackles up

  • It's called Taylor Ham, you cretin!

    Jokes aside, a breakfast bagel sandwich is truly a wonderful thing to behold. Had one with whitefish and scallion cream cheese this morning myself.

    Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women?

  • It's why women wear perfumes so much, to try and mask the smell.

  • Been a lotta weird "vaginas smell like fish" posts lately...

    Never understood where that idea came from anyway.

  • Of course people other than Christians also proselytize and do violence!

    You asked for evidence that Jesus commanded Christians to do violence and I give it. And you find more mental gymnastics to justify Christianity to yourself. "Nope, not my Christianity, mine is the good one."

    Have you not once tried to convert someone to your faith? So are you too not following The Good Book by refusing to proselytize?

    By continuing this charade that Christianity isn't a violent religion you are acting as a smoke screen for that violence. Even if you aren't actively directly participating in it, you aid and abide that violence.

  • Matthew 28:18-20. Jesus commands his disciples to proselytize his religion to the world.

    But buddy it doesn't matter what your book says, I see what people do with it. You can claim all you want it's not true Christianity, but it is. This is what Christians do. They travel the globe and demand people replace their faith and culture with their own and they kill anyone who won't. Sometimes it's overtly with guns sometimes it's subtly with mission schools.

    Your "real Christianity" is a farce. And it's Christianity that's in no small part brought these horrors onto America. I ain't looking to "the good Christians" to save us from the Christians.

    Edit: and don't even try to tell me that proselytizing is anything but a violence against a people. That would be wildly intellectually dishonest. Even a cursory look at history demonstrates that.

  • Yeah buddy. It makes me sick to my stomach to watch the utter horrors Christianity has wrecked upon the globe, but especially this country, and to hear you pretend all that was fake and the real Christianity was love and peace all along is absolute absurdism.

    That lie is the very one used to shield Christianity from justice when it is a crucial part of the cancer rotting this country and its rights away.

    To you? It's inconsequential. You can live in that lie because it won't get used against you. That's why you can think "wow this person seems upset, it's not that big a deal." You won't suffer the pillaging that Christians perform on a nigh daily basis. Or you've convinced yourself you won't.

    Keep your nonsense to yourself.

  • Shifting blame again!

    We're not talking about other religions, the topic is about Christianity and the idea that "real" Christianity is about love and peace when it's demonstrably quite the opposite.

    You've created a myth in your head, an unassailable "real" Christianity that has never once existed. It's the same one used by Thiel and others to justify their horrors and you're playing along by pretending it's real, too.

    Again and again you'll look for ways to shift the blame, never once admitting you're part of a group that has so much blood on its hands. You'll still twist your brain into figuring out how deny that and support it "in the name of peace and love"

  • Buddy, you're part of the problem.

  • No, those are the literal tactics Christianity has used for hundreds of years to ensure they are the dominant religion wherever they can and they continue to do so today via ICE.

    And you're right, they're not stories, they're very well documented.

    Pretending Christianity is a religion of peace is absolute insanity.

  • Deny, deflect, shift blame. It's always the same game.

    Don't try to sell me your self defensive drivel. The reason so much of the America's follow Christianity isn't because people were persuaded of its gentle kindness and well-intending nature, it's because Christians showed up with guns and shot those who didn't fall in line.

    Don't try to tell me that isn't real Christianity. A system is what it does and that's what Christians have been doing across the entire globe for centuries.

    Wake up. There's no salvation in raping the planet in the name of Christ. You're not reclaiming it's true nature by pretending otherwise, you're living in denial and by doing so, playing into the hands of those that hide behind people like you to claim their destruction and murder is actually kind-hearted charity.

  • Politely, shove it.

    Christianity has never been a religion of peace and kindness. It was the motivation and justification for the colonialist rape and pillaging that founded the United States and it remained a tool of destruction since then.

    Christianity has played a large part in creating the modern right wing and has been, for decades, weaponized as a cudgel to squash diversity and minorities. It's done enough damage to America already.

    Don't tell me that it's actually a salve. Fix your own house before trying to tell anyone how to live.

    Spit your self indulging dreck elsewhere. You're not helping anyone but yourself.
