left winger accusing anything of being authoritarian is a textbook example of projection

They’re following the Rules for Radicals playbook by accusing opponents of doing what they’re doing.

I think the term/concept is funny. It was rarely used before the early 20th century, but yet it’s supposedly the foundation of western civilization.
Isn't your side the one who tries to convince us that because grasshoppers and a couple of ancient Greeks were homos then buttfrickery, drag shows, and man-purses are normal parts of life?

Point is that recognizing that something can be used as a tool for evil isn't necessarily an attack on that thing

Everyone here is acting like this is an attack on Christianity and that's not necessarily the case
yet, questioning your local school board will get the FBI on your arse.

You inability to see the obvious is stunning. I used to wonder "how did so many Germans buy into the idea that the Jews were the problem". I'm starting to see how.

What's "my side", VolcanicTiger? I think you have me confused with someone else.

Yeah. You have left wing groups harassing bakers, florists and photographers by constantly using the courts to sue them under "anti-discrimination" laws... yet, somehow the Christians are the authoritarians.

would you consider supporting gay marriage or being pro choice as attack on Christians?


Depends on you manner of supporting those things.

I know plenty of people who I disagree with on matters of religion who support things I do not, only they ain't demonizing me or mine while doing it.

I understand what you are asking, but if you are contending that Christians are simply misinterpreting what's going on, you are blind and or in a coma.

The Left aren't passively supporting these things, they are making war on those who don't agree.

Simply typing it out doesn't portray how bad and nefarious it really is.

They are literally DESTROYING PEOPLE'S LIVES for having different beliefs.

Lives built with blood, sweat, tears, sacrifice and time gone in an instant because of some Cultural Jihadist and shitty Judge.

Yet somehow Powerman can see “her point.” As if the author is capable of any objectivity regarding this matter. The Marxists don’t frustrate me. It’s willful and useful idiots like Powerman.

Here's my perspective:

Me and a buddy having a conversation:

Buddy: "I support X"....

Me: "I don't"....

Buddy: " Cool....."

Now here's what the Left is doing:

Crazy Leftist thumbing thru phone directory: "Hello, do you cater gay weddings?"

Caterer : "Sure, we don't care....."

Crazy Leftist: "Nevermind....(slams down phone)....

Crazy Leftist: "Hello, do you cater gay weddings?"

Christian Caterer: "Respectfully, we believe marriage is between a man and woman, so no, in accordance with our Constitutionally protected beliefs, we must decline"

Crazy Leftist: "HOOOOOOOORRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate you for having a different opinion and I'm going to hire a sleazy piece of shite Lawyer and DESTROY your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This can't be overstated.

The most frustrating thing is that his sort of idiocy is almost ALWAYS hand in hand with the passion for sharing that idiocy with the world.

Being stupid is fine, being a stupid a-hole is not.

"The numbers paint a clear picture of what is happening. As American youths leave home, they leave the faiths of their parents and never return. This is in great part because the teachings of most churches in the U.S. are fundamentally at odds with what young people believe: particularly on topics like abortion, marriage equality, birth control, and premarital sex. They simply fail to see how such out-of-touch institutions are relevant."

This says it all!
What a pitiful excuse for this country's decay.

The government and its alignment with big tech is a far greater authoritarian threat than any religion.

If Christianity is becoming “a tool of theocratic authoritarianism,” it’s because of the leftist attack on Christian morals/values for the past 60 years.


how does that work in your brain?
