Democrats are like your sweet aunt that promises to take you to Disney World but then never takes you.
Republican are like you're grumpy uncle that says he will never take you to Disney World but then you find out he went without you.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Here are two things to expect:
1) Dorky white people dressing up in sombreros, eating Mexican food, and drinking tequila.
2) Dorky white people calling those people "racist" and complaining about "cultural appropriation."
Blessed National Day of Prayer!
"All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations." - Psalms 22:27-28
You know, I can't help but notice there's a whole lot of people out there who have no interest in participating in civil society, yet they expect society to provide for them, if not more.
In other words, they don't want to bother living in a civilized society, but they certainly want to reap the benefits of it.
A lot of people have hang-ups about the concept of Hell. Personally, I sleep soundly at night knowing scumbags like Adolf Hitler, Ted Bundy, Bernie Madoff, and Jeffrey Epstein are not having a good time in the afterlife.
The more I dwell in the deepest recesses of social media, the more misanthropic I become. I've stared into the abyss, and it stares back at me.
I am thoroughly convinced that a sizeable chunk of the population suffer from a glorious absence of empathy.
Not only do they not care about the feelings and well-being of others, they actively revel in their misery.
Like, how are we as a society expected to properly function with so many people mucking things up?
The past month has seen:
- Donald Trump indicted and arrested.
- Ron DeSantis humiliated by Disney.
- Ike Perlmutter fired from Marvel.
- J.K. Rowling lose money.
- Fox News sued.
- Tucker Carlson fired.
It's refreshing to see so many bad people get their just desserts.
Folks who complain about Christian children's media "traumatizing" them never cease to amaze me.
I've watched plenty of episodes of Sesame Street that legit scared the crud out of me. There are entire episodes that were banned because parents complained.
So if you consider a poor quality made-for-video film called "In Search of Dudley Dumpling" too "traumatizing" for you, IDK what to sat other than you're hella weak sauce.
"You cannot post 'Thou shalt not steal,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery,' and 'Thou shalt not lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment."
😂
You know, my only expectation for other people is for them to act like decent human beings. I set the bar so insanely low, and even then, you'd be amazed at how few people can clear it. 🫤
Tolerance, in and of itself, is not a virtue. Neither is open-mindedness.
Because some things shouldn't be tolerated, and some ideas shouldn't be open to.
It's okay to be intolerant of the intolerable, and it is okay to be close-minded towards ideas that have no merit.
The problem with "debating" in good faith against someone arguing in bad faith is that the bad faith debater is always going to "win" because they don't care about the rules. They only care about appearing like they are winning, even if they are not. In the words of Innuendo Studios, it's all about being "short, quippy, and wrong."
"If you worship a God who sacrificed his grown son to fix a problem he created"
I'm sorry. You want me to take your blatant bad faith misrepresentation of Christian doctrine in good faith?
I'm supposed to argue in good faith against someone who couldn't care less if they argue in bad faith?
Again, Brandolini's law: "The amount of energy needed to refute BS is always an order of magnitude larger than it took to produce it."
Like, for starters, OP is incorrect to state God is fixing a problem He created. He's fixing a problem mankind created. Man brought sin into the world, and God was forced to clean up the mess they made.
That's not even an opinion. That's just reading what was written in the Bible.
Again, if atheists aren't willing to address matters of theology in good faith, why should I bother taking the time and effort addressing them in good faith? It's a fool's errand.
I hate to bring up this post again from yesterday. But I can't think of a better example of Brandolini's law: "The amount of energy needed to refute BS is always an order of magnitude larger than it took to produce it."
Like, I could explain why this post is abject nonsense, but doing that would take far more effort than this person made in writing it.
This person doesn't care to address theology in good faith. Why should I attempt addressing them in good faith?
Look, I hate to get "political," but I currently live in a state whose governor suggested, at a press conference, with a straight face, building a prison next to Walt Disney World.
Sorry, not sorry. I'm not going to pretend that's a normal position held by a normal government official.
So there's this cool neurodivergent influencer on Facebook I've been following for some time. I really like their memes about Autism. But they recently posted an anti-Christian meme. I promptly unfollowed them.
The ironic part is that they're the type of person who insists they care about "tolerance" and "acceptance."
Yeah, feeling a whole lot of "tolerance" and "acceptance" with posts like this! 😒
I'm going to say it: The Onion is JUST AS funny as the Babylon Bee.
"So are you saying The Onion is just as unfunny as the Babylon Bee, or that the Babylon Bee is as funny as The Onion?"
Yes.
